I have an Asus Crosshair VI, and a spare AM3 backplate.
Can I just slap the backplate on, and put my AM3 watercooler on it, or do I have to worry about specific mounting pressures?

What programs are good for making gifs/webms?

So far I'm being told that WebMCam, WebMConverter, and ffmpeg are good options.

Which of those are the best/easiest?

>>59790325
ffmpeg is my choice.
WebMConverter (AKA. WebM for retards) is really nice for quickly getting the job done.
They all end up using ffmpeg as the backend, so it's more about what user interface you want to use.

>>59790350
Not him but I use ffmpeg, too.

Is there any downside besides adding a middleman (and inherent space) when one uses WebMConverter over ffmpeg? I've wanted to bash my head against a wall when I had to read ffmpeg documentation to ultimately not find out what I wanted.

>>59790364
>downsides
If you can specify your own command line parameters from within the GUI, no, not really.

For documentation, I use the "WebM Academy" guide that floated around when WebM was introduced to 4chan, which I can't pastebin because it gets filtered.

Which is the best thermal paste at the moment? I'm going to be opening my laptop soon. It's getting a bit toasty.

Alright /g/, got a problem that might just be something stupid.

I have an HP Laptop and recently the fan has been running nonstop. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, save for a few things:
>Despite the constant blowing, no air is coming out of the vent
>Performance has taken a hit for no apparent reason, CCleaner and Avira found nothing wrong, defragging did nothing
>Computer temperature is totally normal.

At first i thought it was dust until i noticed Enter the Gungeon chugging along like i'm trying to run it on a smartphone. Any ideas?

Cheers. I'll check it out. I only went to it to find how to make VP8 webms, since it seemed to default to V9 since an anon told me the program i used to generate webm thumbnails musn't've done so for the ones I created since they were VP9. The documentation showed no hits for "VP8", I believe.

test. I tried an ffmeg command on the webm article of the /g/ wiki, but the end result was VP9 and had audio. I don't know what I expected. So I searched "4chan ffmpeg webm" and am using the command >>9308557 recommended. And the quality appears to be disgusting.

>>59790508
for ffmpeg, the codec for VP8 is

 
-c:v libvpx

>>59790475
Maybe the temp readings are wrong? The fan shouldn't be blowing nonstop if the temps are ok. Does the laptop feel warm?

>>59790453
I got an Antec Nanodiamond or something for $14. It had diamond particles in it which is supposed to be better than silver because it doesn't conduct electricity so it won't accidentally fry your computer. But every time I mention it here I get bullied. So probably don't go with an Antec Nanodiamond.

>>59790508
This doesn't seem like a very Christian anime. I wouldn't let my kids watch 4kids stuff if this is what they show. I should complain to my Congressman to get anime banned in this country.

>>59790540
Not at all, its just going nonstop with no air coming out. I tried some pressurized air but it only fixed it for a minute or so, like theres a fucking curtain being sucked into the fan.

>>59790522
Thank you so much. I've added it to the command an anon shared with me a while ago:

ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -ss 00:02:45 -t 00:01:30 -c:v libx264 -preset slow -crf 21 -c:a aac -b:a 192k -map_metadata -1 output.mp4

His post explaining it is in the ss I shared to the first anon >>59790246. Do you know how to preserve quality when converting to VP8? Your command seems to ruin it since it appears to be mutually exclusive with "-c:v libx264".

>>59790572
Toplel, it's a yuri anime called Sakura Trick. I wouldn't even recommend it since the characters sort of turn out to all be asses in the end.

>>59790578
Take it apaaaaaaaht

>>59790595

-c:v libx264

That wouldn't be a WebM...

>>59790595
>not recommending cute girls doing cute things together

>>59790578
I would open the laptop if I could just to make sure. Also, I had a laptop with a switchable graphics card (AMD/Intel). The fans would run at full blast because I disabled the AMD card. The AMD GPU was failing so I had to disable it.

my pc just randomly powered down in the middle of vidya, when i tried to start it up again it didnt work. would load the bios splash screen fine, then go into select how to boot windows normal/safemode/etc, and there would be 2 green bars on each of my monitors. then my 2nd monitor would lose signal and my first would just be there in standby black screen.

gonna try unplug some shit from power adapter see what happens

>>59790623
Oh, that's a shame. I used the convert to VP8 command and the quality seemed just as shite as the text webm I uploaded earlier using

ffmpeg -i someshit.mkv -c:v libvpx -an someshitallowedon4kids.webm

>>59790640
Yeah, if you want good quality, you have to do two pass encoding with some really customized settings.

>>59790626
It's really in the second last/ last episode where everyone gets anxious and upset and dishonest to each other, and no one ends up happy. Spoiler alert.

They're really nice on the eyes, though. And they do the Love Live upskirt a lot, plus a bit more, which is /really/ nice. It's ok. If you ignore subject matter it's quite good.

I run a small service for a couple of people using KVM, and I've decided I want to spy on my clients.

How would I go about doing this?

I can get console to the machine using virsh, but I'd still have to log in using a password.

Also, how do I erase any trace I was there?

>>59790693
I don't know. If you take it out, does the rest of your computer work?

>>59790693
Not him but whenever my computer would fail to boot it would force itself into safe mode on integrated graphics (rather than discrete [a GPU]). I think it may just be a troubleshooting thing you do.

>>59790703
>>59790707
launched in safe mode without taking GPU out. u say i should take GPU out n try again? is there anywayh to see if GPU even connected rn? tried cpu-z n dxdiag but neither could detect much...

>>59790722
>tried cpu-z n dxdiag but neither could detect much...
Yeah, that's because they hook into the drivers.

1. Take the card out and see if it works without the discrete GPU.
2. If it does, put the GPU back in, use DDU to remove the GPU drivers, and then reinstall the drivers. See if it works now.
3. If it's still not working correctly, try booting a different operating system.
4. If it's still not working, your GPU is probably fucked.

What is the secret to properly cooking a hot pocket? I do have a meat thermometer. I'm cooking the "ham n cheese" variety if that helps to inform your answer. Should I use the paper wrapper it comes with, or does that just add sogginess? My plates are china, but I do have paper plates if that makes for a more authentic dining experience. Not sure on sauces either, but I have american cheese and mustard, too.

I have a raspi2 running osmc, connected via Ethernet. My library is entirely video/music files shared via samba from another machine.

Whenever I watch two 1080p/60fps twitch streams at the same time, my PC becomes incredibly slow. I have tried reinstalling my OS, changing video drivers, and absolutely nothing has fixed it. It happens if I use streamlink aswell. My cpu usage doesn't go above 30% when this happens, and my memory and GPU usage are also low.

Everything seems ok when I am just browsing the internet, playing vidya, or watching a single 1080p/60fps stream. It only seems to go to shit when I open two at the same time.

Things I have tried
>reinstalling OS/drivers
>disabling all power saving shit for cpu and windows

I am hoping to god someone can help me with this issue as it is beginning to piss me off beyond belief.

I've also been experiencing an issue where my computer will freeze to a solid color/loop audio in an incredibly loud manner, requiring a hard reboot. Not sure if that is related or not...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best is to use the oven or a toaster oven.
If your microwave spins, ensure the pocket is either centered or off center.
If your microwave doesn't spin, place the pocket slightly to one side, cook halfway, place sightly to the other side, cook the rest of the way.
Lower the power and cook for slightly longer.
After cooking, let the pocket sit for a few minutes. This allows the carryover cooking to finish and the heat to distribute evenly.

I know that h265 encoding requires much CPU power to encode with, but does it require much CPU power to playback in MPC-HC or VLC?

Because if it does require much CPU power, then what's the point of it?

Posted this on /wsr/ but that board is even slower:

I'm currently using Windows 7 Ultimate x64. Last night, everything was fine and I turned off the PC when I went to sleep. After turning it on, only one out of a total of ten USB ports was working and only for the keyboard, anything else I put there doesn't work.
I've searched and tried a lot of things to fix it, among them:

- Reboot with and without USB connected, in the usual place or at random.
- Shutdown, disconnect from energy and pressing power button for 30 seconds, leaving it unplugged for a couple of hours.
- On BIOS, I tried a combination of every option related to USB.
- On Device Manager, removed every single USB entry. I also tried reinstalling them manually, with Windows Update or using generic drivers. Also removed all the hidden and unused devices.
- I tried some driver manager software to reinstall USB and chipset drivers.
- Registry clean with software and some of them manually.
- Windows troubleshooting.
- SFC /scannow
- A windows utility that is supposed to fix USB problems (and of course, it doesn't)
- Booting in normal startup (all services enabled), safe boot with and without network.
- Malware-Bytes virus scan because why not, found nothing.

I'm sure it's not a hardware problem for two things: trying with a Fedora LiveUSB all of them worked, and they also work when I try to use Windows System restore (I don't have any restore point, so I can't use this to rollback). For now I'm managing by using the keyboard and for mouse my Note 8.0 through the VirtualTablet app.

I'm pretty sure it's a driver problem since I can't install shit, it always ends up with "Device driver software was not successfully installed", with no clear explanation on why the fuck it can't install them.
Do you know any other thing I could try before a clean install?
That's the last thing I want to do, configuring and reinstalling all the software, updates and customization I need would take me too fucking much.

>>59791515
tl;dr ver plz

I just started making anything at all. I went to move my work scripts into a wpf app when I realized how shit it is syncing my textblocks with my code as things change in the background.

I wished for the text to just update if the string ever changed. Seems like I'll have to just put a refresh button there. I've been googling shit all week but I don't get the mvvm that gets jerked off.

Pro tips on this or better direction to learn for someone just starting?

USB drivers are fucked. Can't reinstall or fix them no matter what I try.

have you checked the mobo connection?

how to start VLC automatically with subtitles? Setting them up through the preferences>subtitles menu doesn't do anything when set to English or [English], I have to manually turn them on from the main subtitles menu, which is set to Disabled by default. I can change audio to Japanese by default. Video is such a pain in the ass, you'd think they'd have this shit figured out by now. Everyone is so obsessed with DRM that it's 50/50 chance you can even get a dvd you bought to work in any dvd player. Blu-ray is even worse, feels like we're going backwards in terms of this technology.

>>59791574
Yeah, the hardware is fine, I even checked if the other devices were OK.

I just turned the PC off, and when I turned it on again, only the keyboard worked.

Using a Fedora LiveUSB (On any port) works and I plug and unplug shit on the others and everything works, even on the Windows System Restore utility, but I fucked up and have no restore points.

I have an old laptop with a broken screen. Literally can't see anything.

I believe you mean the desktop is extended.
If you're running Windows 7 or later I believe you can hit super+p to go through the display modes.
Hit super+e to open an explorer window, hit super+shift+right arrow (or possibly left if the settings aren't at the default) to move the explorer window to the working screen. Use the location bar to go to the control panel.
Right click on the desktop you can see and make a folder. Open said folder, use the location bar to go to the control panel.

my phone bricked for some reason last night. No idea why, it was on and taking charge one minute, then the next it just refuses to take charge and refuses to turn on or respond in nay way.

Anyway, the metal cover for the nano sim slot has come off (its an xperia z5). I can;'t even retreive my SIM or SD card.

Any idea on how to get into this without any "grip"? I just can't get any purchase to slide it out.

I have a 32" 2560x1440p Samsung monitor. It's great. Plenty of input options, amazing IPS panel with even better colors and viewing angles. However in speccy it shows it as 59hz. Several games even show it as 59.95hz in their settings menus on occasion. But when using an fps counter, it shows 60. When using shadowplay for recording, it shows 60. When I import a video into Sony movie studio, the program says the imported source material is 60fps. I have the monitor set to 60hz in Windows display settings, but keeps kicking back to 59hz.

None of this impacts performance at all and honestly, I'm not going to be some elitist who swears he can see the difference between 59 and 60hz. Just irks me that I can't figure out why this happens. Monitor is connected via a Displayport 1.2a capable cable, hooked to a GTX 980ti.

Years and years ago I did something that broke my laptop. I don't know what I did but I'm curious and maybe one of you guys can shed some light.

I was playing Diablo 2 during patch 1.09 and wanted to try the 1.10 beta. I downloaded the patch from somewhere but I don't remember where.

The game worked with the beta patch: features that were included with 1.10 were functioning. The game worked like this for about a couple of days but then the laptop stopped working.

The laptop would freeze and when restarting, the OS was unable to be found. Letting it sit for a night I was able to get it to work for a short time (few hours maybe) and then it would freeze and not find the OS again.

That lasted for about a couple of more days before it simply stopped finding the OS at all.

By the sound of it what happened? I don't think it was malware from the patch but that was the only variable that changed. This was in 2003 or 2004 by the way.

Thanks, anon(s), I tried again for the 100th time on safe boot, this time with no network and when I tried to install scanned the winsxs folder (I tried this at least twice before), and now I got an option that said something about the driver certificate and install anyway, and this fixed it. When I get to the normal boot I still get the message that the device was not installed properly, but it works anyway.

I tried the official drivers first, several times (From the newest version to the oldest), but it still didn't work.
Fucking Windows, man. I'm only staying on it for a few software that has a subpar or no alternative, but I'll leave it eventually.

In the end I still don't know what the fuck caused the problem, and what the fuck fixed it. But it werks.

I have a 60gb v300 I stuck in an eeepc 1000hd for kicks. Definitely a noticable performance boost even for the low end netbook (sata I, ddr2, Celeron m). Works fine but I don't use the machine much.

If all you're doing is streaming video, why not a fire stick/tv or raspi (w/osmc)? Both have built in wifi and Bluetooth, both use less power than your budget box, both would likely be easier for normies to use, and are probably cheaper to boot.
Fire stick if you want to be able to use Netflix/Amazon prime video/etc. Raspi to avoid botnet

Modern NICs will auto-negotiate. What kind of cabling are you using? That will determine the speed.

Cat5e, I'm retarded. You should get gigabit if your NICs support it.

>>59792096
Cat5e should give you gigabit as long as your run isn't over 30m.

You'll need to manually configure IP addresses, but that's about it.

I was considering it but problem is our WiFi. I'm on a 100/100 connection with Verizon. Yay! Except they force me to use their absolute garbage can tier wireless router. It's dual band but streaming over WiFi requires buffering every once in a while. Unacceptable to me. Plus the server is a Windows share.

I'm not the best with sed/grep/awk
Is this what you want?

curl -s 'https://m.news.yandex.ru/quotes/6.html?mar=0' | sed "s/[<>]/\n/g" | grep -E '[0-9],[0-9]{4}'

You were redirecting the output of curl to a temp file and then opening the cat file when you could have just piped the output to sed/grep
I'm not sure if those are the numbers you wanted, though. Maybe I misread the whole thing.

They'll auto negotiate no problem if their NICs aren't ancient. Assuming both are gigabit like you say, the only factor you'd have to worry about is hard drive speeds being able to read/write as fast as their connection. My 1TB Seagate drives can saturate my network when moving large files over the network with cat5e easily.

Odd though. Why go through this trouble? How much data are you moving? Or do you just not have an external on hand?

Does their router/modem have Ethernet ports? If so just plug a separate router in and use that. If they throw a hissy fit, spoof the routers external Mac.

>>59792206
Yes their router has 4 Ethernet ports that all the rooms/PC's in the house are hard wired to. Problem is that the house would now have 6 wireless signals floating around because the Verizon router doesn't let me turn off or just hide the signal broadcast. So I'd have those 2 signals, the 2 from my good router, and the 2 from the repeater in my room. It'd just be confusing and a security risk all around. Bad enough their router doesn't even let me set separate passwords for the 2.4/5ghz channels. They share a pass. Lastly, I can't disconnect their wireless s router entirely in favor of my own because the modem connect to the router via coaxial, not Ethernet.

I was using a Linksys wrt1200AC before this that was absolute tits. Greatest investment ever.

Just curious, why do you have separate ssids for 2.4/5ghz?

I setup a wifi coverage for a small clinic (~5000 ft^2), what I did was hardwire a couple of small routers in AP mode to a main one. Every router has the same ssid/pass, but different channels and there's no separate ssids for 2.4/5.

Modern devices are intelligent about picking the best AP and band to connect to, that clinic has had zero problems - no stutters or dropped coverage when moving between APs even with then moving around a lot during the day.

Back on topic, I suppose you could open Verizon's router and disconnect the wifi antenna...
There should be a way to disable wifi on Verizon's router. What model is it?

So I'm on a Mac. I have another windows computer next to me as well however it's a piece of trash and can't do much at all. The mac mini 2010 is the best computer I've ever owned. (Please no h8)

So here's the problem, I'm trying to use my 4TB ext HDD on here, but for some reason it's READ ONLY and it's pissing me off. I need to transfer some shit over to it but it wont let me, and some dumb shit tutorials are telling me that if I want to make my mac read it, I have to reformat it. FUCK NO. I have 2TBs if not almost 3TBs of data on this things. I cannot afford to lose. Do I seriously have to jump over to my windows PC to do everything with this?

I like mac, it's not horrible but why do we need so many fucking file systems? It's honestly stupid. I get the unix and windows stuff but thats all we need and communicating back and forth is what it should be. Why read only? I dun get this

exfat works on windows and mac os, but you need to reformat if it isn't already.
no, you aren't making it writeable with some magic trick.
it's just how it is.
deal with it or reformat.
2010 is 7 years ago, I doubt your 4TB hard disk is that old, so I assume you got the disk after already using mac os, so you should have known better and formatted it correctly right away.

Dunno the router model, but looking now, the TV relies on the router for it's channel guide. No matter what configuration I go with, hat router has to be part of the loop. As for physically removing the antennas, same reason as before.

I never had to setup such a large tier network before like your example. This Verizon router or super bare bones in regards to options. How did you unify your bands? Because if unifying the bands gives better connection throughout the house, I'll just keep the Verizon router in place, Daisy chain my WRT to it with unified bands, and go off of that. I'll just make the Verizon routers bands have a stupidly long and complicated password to prevent eavesdroppers.

Your external drive is formatted with NTFS, great for Windows, bit so much for everything else. If you want a drive everything can use, it needs to be formatted fat32/exfat.

Here's the fix:
1) transfer your data off the drive
2) use disk utility to format the drive. Ensure you choose exfat or fat32
3) transfer your data back onto the drive

Oh right new question as well

My mac's audio jack port wont work now. Did the other night. Now it wont let me listen to anything through it. It tells me that it's plugged in but no sound?

if the 4TB is so important then you should have a backup of it all the time anyway.
So it shouldn't be a problem at all to reformat another drive and copy the files back on there.

Imagine the disk breaks, your files are gone.
So buy a second HDD and use it to back it up.

When you plug your router into one of the VZW lan ports be sure to move the Ethernet cables currently connected to the VZW router to yours. I forgot to do that once, took forever to figure out.

I used an Asus rt-arch13 fur the main router and for most of the access points. One access point was a preexisting Netgear something or other.
To make it all one network:
1) You have your main router. This is what connects to the internet, everything goes through it.

2) you have a router for each area you need to extend coverage to. We will refer to these as access points going forward.

3) the access points from (2) should be connected via Ethernet to the main router, lan port to lan port (some will want you to use the wan port, check the manual)

4) set the ssid and password on the main router. Select the same for both 2.4 and 5ghz. Use WPA2-AES unless you have a specific reason not to.

5) for each access point, place it in AP mode. Check your manual for specifics. Double check you are using the correct put to connect to the main router.

6) for each access point, set the ssid and security to the same values used for the main router in step (4).

7) (optional) for each access point, set a static IP or else assign them static ips on the main router. Makes troubleshooting easier

8) shitpost.

If there's any trouble with but being able to access stuff when connected to an ap but not the main router, check that the AP has the default gateway set as the main router.


With it all being one network your devices should never lose coverage, they should automatically select the best AP.

playing with windows server 2012

>active directory
so I always thought I can do everything with it, total control over PCs and users
now it turns out its mostly about who can access what on the network
I cant make user and admin on its local computer
I cant change lot of shits and settings on that computer

I can execute shit on boot, monitor usage and other stuff
but active directory seems to be mostly about who can access what on network
not for managing the actual PC itself and if user can execute locally installed application X or whatever

correct?

At least I had quick looksies and wanned to add user in to admin group for that local PC for half a day so that I could install shit and change settings and do everything without constant need for elevation or logging as local admin
and I did not find the way to do that


>DNS on windows server
black hole for me and that feels kinda not ideal
I enable it and it works
I can add some local entries about what IP is what name if I would need it but tahts about it
I was kinda expecting I would point servers DNS to some dns on the internet
google, openDNS or root servers
but nothing like that really popped up, I just enabled it and its working

Also I was moving like 10 PCs in to domain, DNS the issue few times
I had to ipconfig /flushdns for few PCs to be willing to migrate
and one time I had to manually set DNS ip in on network interface, while leaving rest on automatic from dhcp even though it was the same shit it got from DHCP, but after that the PC joined the domain
DNS seems to be kinda problematic, already read the jokes how -"its always DNS"

I'm using an HD7850 through HDMI to my TV with built-in speakers, and I've been having audio problems recently.

If I install Realtek's HD audio drivers, the HDMI sound becomes "dirty" in a way. The reverb gets fucked up in some way, and the lower sounds/bass sound like a broken speaker with vibrating plastic-like sound. This problem vanishes if I uninstall Realtek's drivers, but I wanna keep them.

I also have suspicions that the HDMI cable and/or the GPU might be a bit broken but I still have to test it with replacements.

I've had this laptop for 2 years and always used it at home plugged to the wall (with the battery removed), and a few days ago I've used it outside two times and now it's at home plgged like before.

The laptop has a shitty soundcard, so when I plug my headphones in its jack, I hear a quiet white noise that's constantly playing (even when the system sound is deactivated), but ever since I used it with a battery, the white noise stops when no audio is playing, and if I play some audio I hear a popping noise in my headphones and the white noise starts playing until a few seconds after the sound stops, then it turns off.

I'm thinking that using it with the battery somehow changed its settings and now the soundcard automatically turns off when not used, but I have no Idea how to change it back.

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance.

Assuming this isn't bait, it's because eligibility doesn't matter for lower tier tasks, but women are much less likely to do more than what they're told/in their description, therefore less of a problem.
It's also because, generally, we see women as more attractive than men. Of course they're gonna higher the chick and fulfill their fantasy of her doing /anything/ for this position, even if it's just a subconscious reason. They'll also want to see chicks when working their jobs, not more men. Again probably more subconscious.
There's also the "problem" where they don't expect the chicks to do good at their jobs. So when she makes a mistake, it's cause she's an airhead. When he makes a mistake, it's cause he's incompetent and needs to be replaced so he doesn't fuck up anything else.
Then there's outside of work. Hell just sit on a bench and watch people go by. For the most part everyone will maneuver around the women, hold doors open for them, let them cross the street, if they're sitting alone someone is inevitably gonna start a conversation(probably to hit on them but still)
Further still this really just applies to good looking women. It's pretty true (if you consider sociology truth) that average women are still considered attractive, but average men are usually just considered average.
Even further, none of this is hard fact either, just what people notice. But a lot of people "notice" it, so it's considered common sense

You could simply do a whole snapshot of their system (while it's running), and from there you can do whatever you want with the copy of their system (plug in a live distro and change root password for example).

Something like:

virsh snapshot-create-as --domain <some domain> snapshot --disk-only --atomic --quiesce
virsh blockcommit <some domain> hda --active --verbose --pivot
virsh snapshot-delete <some domain> snapshot --metadata
virsh dumpxml <some domain> > /path/to/domain.xml

They may or may not notice their system get slower, but there are plenty of excuses for that.

I have an orange pi PC lying around (pic related)
I want to use it in my bedroom as a device to stream chinese cartoons from websites like 9anime or kissanime.
While playback of downloaded videos works fine, html5 players stutter a lot. I'm running ubuntu mate with chromium. Should I change distro? Maybe try android?

This might need it's own thread, but I'll try here first.

I'm trying to debug my motherboard, an MSI H110 Pro.

First tried it with a Kaby Lake CPU, but the BIOS needed
an update first, so I bought a Skylake one.

First time I tried to power the build on with the new CPU, it
ran, but nothing showed up. After some CMOS short circuit
(BIOS reset) and retrying, it didn't turn on at all.

I bought a new CMOS battery and tried again without luck.
Even tried going back to the previous CPU, but still nothing.

Basically when I try powering it on the CPU LED on the
motherboard lights up, then fades away. Nothing runs.

Should I give up and buy a new motherboard? Or is there a
chance the PSU has suddenly died (unlikely since it's new,
has worked, and there hasn't been any smells)?

I should mention there are no visible damages on the motherboard itself.

How do i go about installing Ubuntu LTS and Windows 10 LTSB?

what comes first?

I have an old netbook that shutsdown whenever I load Windows or Linux. I can get into the BIOS and everything looks okay. It just completely shuts down or black screens (lit up just black) with all the LEDs on (wlan, hdd, capslock, numlock). I've tried reseating the RAM and tried another HDD that I know works and same thing happens.

I was thinking about completely dissembling the laptop to clean it out, but it doesn't look that dusty.

Any advice/tips?

Is there a lightweight analytics tool for a small website?

I don't need to track like where people click and come from and all that crap. All I want is a small graph, maybe even printed on the terminal screen, showing visitors over a day/month/year, maybe some stats on which country they come from and perhaps what web browser they used.

The alternative is writing a script which pulls information from the web server logs and presents it this way, but I'd rather not waste my time on that.

If it doesn't work then it won't work no matter what you try.
>I should mention there are no visible damages on the motherboard itself.
There's no way to tell if the mobo is physically damaged, you could have fried it without noticing. I'd suggest to try a new PSU but as you said since it's new then it's unlikely to be the problem.

>>59796613
>This is obviously in game
Why are you worried? If you're playing then that's normal.

>>59796613
possible answers
1)Heat or power throttling (unlikely)
2)You're CPU bound and the GPU is saving power (possible)
3)You have VSYNC on or another frame rate cap and the GPU is saving power (likely)

is there any free RAM disk software (unlimited use, not shareware/trialware) for windows? or a link to a cracked version. i'm struggling to find one.

>>59796603
what you're looking for is VESA standard compatibility in your monitor. not every monitor has it. filter by that to narrow down your monitor choices.

>>59793193
Changing the HDMI cable didn't solve it. It's probably a driver issue.

Does AMD have a problem with Realtek's drivers or something?

>>59796755
Oh I see, thank you.

follow up question, my first screen is 144Hz, if I buy and use a 60Hz monitor, will my 144Hz be locked to 60Hz ?

>>59796772
Why do you need realtek drivers when you're using hdmi output? It won't give you any benefits.

>>59796831
nope they will run independently.

>>59796691
I'm worried because the game stutters every second as a result of the GPU load spiking, making gameplay impossible

You might have some difficulty getting your GPU/OS to handle them correctly, but it should be doable in most situations

In this case HDMI means your GPU. Compare the onboard to whatever comes with the 280x. You probably wouldn't notice a difference either way. Most audio is pretty solid these days

You might think about getting an SSD. It wont affect what you can actually DO, but it will make the computer behave much snappier in general. On a good day you can get a 120gb or even a 250 under $50, and then just clone your OS to it with Macrium Reflect. It's not hard, but if you have no idea what you're doing it can be a bit much. It's a little easier if you just reinstall windows.

Alright, so I bought a new GTX 1050, plugged it in, everything right, but there's no signal. I know it's not the HDMI cable or board, since my other card works just fine, and when I tried to install the drivers with the old card in, it says it needs an Nvidia GPU. How could I actually install the drivers?

Yeah, that doesn't look right. Your computer is working harder "idling" than the shitty laptop I'm posting from is to keep twenty tabs open and play music. My desktop idles at <1%.
If by any chance you're on win10, disable as much windows update stuff as you can, either way, go into your task manager and see what background processes are eating your CPU usage.
The GPU usage spiking is fine, that's your GPU not wasting power when the CPU can't keep up anyway.

Worst thing though it that the problem is far worse now. After reinstalling my AMD drivers without realtek, the HDMI sound was fine, but after installing realtek's along with it, it became garbled.

Now? I'm getting BSOD atikmpag.sys 0x0000116 constantly immediately after booting. If it's worth anything, I'm running an HD7850 on W7. I've tried a lot of things to fix it already, reinstalling drivers, unplugging and plugging it back, new HDMI cables, etc.

It was working fine until last week. I'm really worried.
