I actually forgot to mention that, it was late when I posted. Originally I did try backing off the screws on the DRP4 a bit, and I did try taking everything apart and inspecting the CPU and pins. Everything looked perfectly fine. I also tried reseating the RAM sticks and blowing the dust out of...

I recently upgraded my CPU cooler to a dark rock pro 4. I had some really weird issues after installing it. for example the system would just power cycle infinitely sometimes when i tried to turn it on. other times it would only power cycle 2 or 3 times and then I would get to the bios screen...

Sorry to revive my old thread, but I found some info worth sharing. I still have this crap UPS, and yes it is still crap. I figured I would do some testing. Since the battery in my unit was getting old, I got my car battery hot off the alternator after my drive home today. Voltage was 14.1 when...

I think might be because you had the output volume too high. You gotta have it really low or else that happens. I set my amp volume knob halfway between 1 and 2, especially when using the overdrive setting. In the DAW its still showing peaks going up to +1, +2 dB. Gain (I think this is how it...

Okay, so I have an interesting update. After some research I found what seems to suggest that the Sound Blaster Audigy 5/RX is actually capable of recording two inputs like I expected it too. See this taken from the official manual: That leads me to to believe that the card should be totally...

Yea I agree with you about the mic being unusable on the line in. Im thinking i'll have to stick both on the mic input and forget about line-in in this case. I will definitely look into getting a real audio interface like people have suggested so I wont need to toy around with this janky noisy...

Going to do a little bit more research, but that seems to be exactly what I was looking for and for 5 bucks too. If it really works that will be amazing. Thank you! I appreciate your thoughtful input. I bought FL Studio years ago and I've been using that to do the splitting, at least in theory...

I'm not sure if this is the right subforum for this, but this seems like a place where people would know. I've got a mic and a guitar that I need to record at the same time. My soundcard can't use the Line in input and the mic input at the same time, but it does have left and right channels. I...

That's what I was thinking. Only issue is the other one I RMA'd did the same thing, so it seems like the UPS is just not made well? It irks me that its advertised as a ~580 watt unit but cant support ~300 watts. Unfortunately I did not. I'm going to try to get three 80watt incandescent lamps...

Yes, I did at one point, but the software would trigger a regular battery self test which would cause my PC to restart so I uninstalled it. The PSU is about 2 years old. It also happens with another computer with a rosewill 850w PSU.

My components: CPU: Intel Core i7-4790k @ 4.7 GHz) GPU: Zotac GeForce GTX 1070 RAM: 16 GB Corsair XMS @ 1600 Mhz (4x4 GB sticks) Soundcard: Creative Audigy 5/RX Motherboard: MSI Z97-G45 Gaming SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 250GB HDD 1: Western Digital Blue Edition HDD 2: Western Digital Black...

Thanks for your input. I can confirm that the PC is plugged into the battery+surge side and not the surge only side. The unit is basically brand new. This is actually the second one I've had that's done this. I RMA'd the first one for the same issue. Should I try getting a quality aftermarket...

I have a Cyberpower 850 PFCLCD backing my PC and monitor. My PC+Monitor draws about 400watts max (and thats with synthetic loads maxing the CPU, RAM, and GPU. Gaming numbers are closer to 320 - checked with killawatt meter since I didn't trust the UPS display). My PSU is the EVGA SuperNova...

So I did some testing and research, and it seems that the UPS cannot handle anything over 200 watts. Which would be normal albeit a little cheap if this was a 300 watt UPS.... Except Its not... Its a 1000VA/600W model. From what I can tell, it seems like other people are having the same issues...

I thought for sure it would have been fast enough as well. Thanks for your input though. Any at all is appreciated. Another strange thing that I forgot to mention, is that the PC shuts off completely(All LEDs+fans are off), then about half a second later it all comes back on. Which is eerily...
