I've replaced by GPU after multiple hardware failure on my old setup. It's very new and I'm sure my drivers up to date. But during things like booting and waking from sleep mode, my screen is filled with vertical lines which I can clear up by click-dragging the cursor across the screen. Could be it be possible that my CPU might be damaged? (It's one of the few components which I haven't replaced throughout this whole clusterfuck)

Caught up with all my assignments, and I wanted to convert one of my card game projects to something with a simple GUI (being able to move between text options on screen with the arrow keys and enter) and I don't know which library to use.

Here's the caveat: it has to be a library that's capable of being installed in visual studio 2015. We have to use that bullshit IDE to code in C or the TAs won't even look at it. I think originally I was looking into ncurses, but the windows version was super buggy.

TL;DR: Want to throw a super simple GUI on a card game programmed in C that needs to use visual studio.

How old is your motherboard? Maybe it was too used and weared out. Like, leaked capacitors.

>>56947957
Try first checking if it's not your OS causing the problem. What is it, and how many years are you using it? Have you already tried to format or use another HDD?

If the problem was CPU damaged, you would have problems on all activities you do, not only on booting. Everytime some area on your CPU was to be used, the PC would freeze, reboot, BSOD, etc.

Windows 10 updated itself and now Chrome keeps freezing. What do?

>>56948024

Every component (And I do mean every component, PSU, mobo, HDD + OS) has been replaced except for the CPU and RAM. It's a Piledriver which I have had for at least 2 years. Would you suggest a reformat/reinstall of Windows 7 to make sure it isn't an OS thing?

The last time I had something similar happen, I had persistent line artefacts which would not go away (Still functioned fine though) until I replaced the CPU.

Is there really any point in locking my door? I am NEET and my room is right by the door, I can easily hear someone approaching but have never in many years of living here heard someone come up and test to see if the door was locked. So clearly it wouldn't have mattered.

>>56948177
New phones in general aren't worth buying unless you're unsatisfied with some aspect of your old one, your old one is broken, or there is some specific hardware component of the new one that you just HAVE to have.

This meme of having to replace your phone every year or two just because a shiny new model came out is just bullshit designed to part you from your money though. Don't be fooled!

My router fucking hates my pc so much it refuses to give me any internet connection through the ethernet cable. Wifi on my phone works but I'm forced to fucking use tethering with usb cable to have any internet. I'm using windows 7.

>>56948350
Yeah, people say you gonna get robbed if you don't lock it but like I said, nobody ever actually walks up and checks if it's locked, so what's the big deal?

I'm on OSX 10.6.8. Is there any reason not to update to 10.11.6?

>>56948365
Some nigga could be casing the neighborhood, watch you leave the house and notice you not reaching over to lock it, and come back to rob you later in the day. Not worth the risk.

>>56948365
>people say you gonna get robbed if you don't lock it
You gonna get robbed it you lock too. It's not hard to unlock or bypass the locking.

> nobody ever actually walks up and checks if it's locked, so what's the big deal?
The big deal is fooling most people that your house can't be opened. Would you publish your address on the newspaper and say "my house is always opened"? No. You don't want people to discover it's always opened.

Even when locked, it's opened, because the locking isn't secure. But if it's locked, and someone try to open and can't, they go away. If they try and accomplish, they steal all your things.

You must succeed everytime, as only one time someone opens is enough for you to loose everything. For people robbing, they only have to succeed once.

>>56948403
I think the issue is if you intentionally go out of your way to not lock it, you also invite opportunistic thieves alongside the ones who are determined enough to break/bypass the lock. As said before, someone could be watching you leave your house and it's not hard to tell that you didn't bother to lock up, and they could decide based on that alone t o rob you.

>>56948361
>My router fucking hates my pc so much it refuses to give me any internet connection through the ethernet cable.
Why are you so sure it's router hatred? Maybe your cable isn't working properly. Have you already checked this possibility?

>>56948407
Yeah, that's what I'm trying to say. But I said more about random people trying randomly to open doors, instead of people watching the house owner to check if it locked the door.

>>56948408
Tried it with the laptop, works perfectly fine. On the pc it's just saying identifying network, and now after reconnecting it fucking works. Fuck realtek drivers.

>>56948450
Wait, the cable is now working again both on notebook and desktop?

>>56948454
Yes, no idea why. Same thing happened some months ago, randomly got a no internet access, then I changed the cable's port to another and it worked...for 5 minutes, then I had to do the same thing again, sometime it will last 2 minutes, sometime 3 hours. I don't know why, maybe it's something in the settings. Thanks for the help!

I used to be able to charge my tablet when it was on and plugged-in, now I cannot. Also, it's been charging excruciatingly slowly in general and dropping in charge % really quickly in the few minutes I did use it yesterday.

Based on the above info, is my tablet's battery dying? I downloaded a battery health check thing from the Play store though and it said my battery was in good health. Is there anything I can do to make my battery stop cockblocking me in this regard besides the blatantly BS stuff of microwaving my tablet?

>>56949183
>I used to be able to charge my tablet when it was on and plugged-in, now I cannot.

I'm sorry, to clarify what I meant by this was, if my tablet is on, it will lose charge % no matter what, even if it were plugged-in and its battery icon on-screen displays it is charging. I used to be able to use the tablet while plugged-in and it would eventually reach 100% charge. Now, it just not-even-so-slowly diminishes...

And by the way a thread or so ago I asked about the Nexus 9 >>56935890, and I'm still wondering if it's the best tablet on the market right now even though it's discontinued. It was discontinued in April but the wiki in /g/'s sticky still only has one android tablet listed as a rec, and that is it... but it's 1,000 CAD on Amazon right now, so...

Okay so I have a router connected to the internet. In order to connect a few other devices in a different part of my home I have another router connected in access point mode to one of the LAN ports on the primary router.

Can't you just look at the AP's settings and see if DHCP is an option?

I think traditionally a wireless AP would not be able to do this because it is not routing between two subnets, it more or less just acts like a wireless switch.

But with home "wireless routers" they kind of do everything. So this wireless router thats in "AP mode" might still be able to do DHCP.

Id just test by messing around in the wireless router's settings and trying to enable it and then just unplugging the ethernet cord leading back to the first router. Then all the clients should still be connected wirelessly but have no internet access. Then do a release/renew and see if they get assigned IP addresses.

If they do, it means the wireless access point gave them an address (with DHCP) if not, then you suck.

I am not sure about how other banks around the world works, but mine demands me to install a "security module plugin" to access my account from my computer, and i shit you not, i have had viruses less intrusive and annoying than that. It would randomly completely freeze HD activity about 3 times a day for fuck reason, pretty much locking the computer for around 5 minutes.

Any secrets for when I get everything connected and inevitably it doesn't boot?

>>56950206
Because with the primary router/modem switched off, there isn't any DHCP and thus nothing gets an IP address.

>>56950216
I did, and it doesn't seem to appear as an option in AP mode, it does show up in WAN mode though but as far as I understand that's for cable connections (PPoE etc) and can't be used to connect to another LAN.

Yeah it seems to basically just be working as a switch; they do maintain their IPs as given by the primary device once it is switched off, however on renew they don't get assigned addresses, unfortunately. I guess I suck

>>56950216
>But with home "wireless routers" they kind of do everything. So this wireless router thats in "AP mode" might still be able to do DHCP.

Thats what an access point is m8.

The two options you have are:
1. Install a DHCP server on one of the wireless clients (google, its just a program that runs in the background on your computer listening for DHCP requests) and it will give the other clients IP addresses. There might some playing around to get it to act as a failover and not take over the main DHCP server (Probably something simple as just pointing it to the IP of the first router and when it doesnt detect the router it acts on its own)

2. Take the wireless router out of AP mode and let it act as a wireless router. Which will put the wireless clients on a different subnet. May or may not work for you. This is what I'd do.

You might be a little surprised by the force it takes to seat the RAM and/or CPU cooler. But it's aight you'll be fine.

A tip with the ram is to push the ram downwards while simultaneously pressing the two latches on the ends closed (you'll understand when you're looking at it in person)

One more thing, how do you power the power/HDD access lights?

It seems impossible to find a building tutorial on YouTube that doesnt just give up once you get power to the motherboard and hard drive.

This one can be tricky

Your case has the little wires that go to the front called front panel connectors. Your motherboard has pins on it (usually at the bottom) that will say where to plug which front panel connectors.

This is where the motherboard manual comes in handy, it will have a diagram for which cables go where.

Also you won't be able to power on the system until you plug the power button front panel connector in because that goes to the power switch, although all the power switch does is connect the two specified pins into a complete circuit when its pressed. So if you look in the motherboard manual and find which two pins are for the power button, you can just connect those two pins with the tip of your screwdriver to complete the circuit and turn the computer on to test if everythings running.

Also don't forget some power supplies have switches on the back. So if you try to turn your system on and it doesnt power on dont forget to check that.... Scared me my first time

The wireless router will route all traffic to the first router and they will have internet.

Internet connectivity isnt a problem. But they techincally wont be on the same LAN anymore is all which honestly isnt a big deal.

The downside with running the DHCP program on one of the wireless clients is now that computer always has to be on. But if thats not a problem id go for it. Make sure to unblock the DHCP ports in your firewall

Heres a picture of my manual

So the bottom two pins is where id connect the hdd led connectors.

Something to note about the LED connectors is they only work in one direction. So if you put it on and it doesnt light up, just flip the connector around (its why theres a + and - labelled in the manual) you can flip it around while the comptuer is running, and it doesnt hurt anything if you put it on backwards first so dont worry.

This isnt a problem with the power switch and reset switch connectors since all they do is connect the pins together when you press the switch.

Dear /sqt/.

Im about to move my drives from old to new PC. One of them contains Windows 7, on another I made 250gb partition that will house Windows 10 (Edu).

1) Do I need any other stepps to be able to dualboot 7 and 10 on new machine?
2) I dropped on usb stick installers for most basic software (codec pack with Media Player Classic, Libreoffice, WinPython, FreeCommander, ImageGlass, Firefox, Winrar, CCleaner, Avast, Evince). Is there something Im missing?
3)What good alternatives exist for Avast in case of free AV software? Please dont go with somewhat popular "common sense + Malwarebytes scans", I want one with real-time protection, just in case.
4) What good and lightweight image viewer exists other than ImageGlass? The problem I have with it is that I want to browse images in the same order as they are in folder I browse and ImageGlass instead use fixed setting (without option to view by modification date). It also have around 1 second delay when changing images, at least on my laptop.

Thank you for replies, like always.

Thats weird because yesterday i have played dota for straight 2 or 3 hours and had no problems.
I thought my sata controller might be overheated but it can't be it because I copied other stuff between 4 HDDs at the same time and there was no problem. It only freezes my system when i download something from chrome. But that might be just a coincidence.

I want to plug two inputs to a Denon M-39 (I don't need the input to be simultaneous).
The Denon have a Digital connector and RCA connector. There's already something on the RCA, so I got a jack to digital cable but it doesn't work (it displays "Signal unlock"). What solution should i seek?

I heard that Windows 10 created as much as 4 partitions during installation (Recovery, System (EFI), MSR and Primary one, which holds the system).

Does it mean that I wont be able to install it on a drive having other two partitions or I will lose them during the installation?

>>56951465
That's quite a project. The first thing you'll want to do is boot up 7 in the new computer and see if it's able to repair itself. Then see if your current windows 7 install is set up as GPT/ UEFI or MBR/Bios an set up win10 the same way. The windows 10 installation should hopefully detect 7 and set up everything automatically with a dualboot option. Ninite does most of your initial installations. XNview and honeyview are both good image viewers.

>>56952151
Should be pretty much automatic. Have you tried the 'HTML5 Video Everywhere!' Addon?

>>56951876
You're mixing up a lot of things that don't have anything to do with each other. Your problem probably has to do with your reinstallation of windows. Sometimes it just goes down wrong. If you have a system restore point I would take it back to before you installed any updates, and skip all optional updates this time around. Also wouldn't hurt to download your networking drivers directly from the manufacturer website.

Also verify the checksum of your windows ISO and check the health of your SSD.

>>56952619
Brand is a consideration though. You pick a bad brand and it affects the reliability and longevity of a laptop. That is good hardware for a laptop, but it's also pretty pricey, especially for a used one, and that's before you put an SSD in it. I'd ask for the model number and look around to compare prices.

You might be right. When i plugged ssd to the same PC running Win7 on other hdd i had no disconnections or other problems with ssd. I copied a lot of data on/from it so i would have notice any problems.
Im 80% sure software is at fault here. But since I have really old mobo i cant exclude hardware errors.
I always format partitions before installing windows. I already downloaded network drivers because windows don't install them automatically.

Is Alienware that bad it won't be usable for 4 more years?

>>56952895
SSDs should be run in ahci mode. You can try running sfc /scannow from a command line and see if that picks up any errors. But if you keep having problems, I would really consider using a restore point and skipping optional updates. They have a tendency to cause a lot of unnecessary trouble for people.

>>56953003
It varies. I've personally had bad experiences with alienware, but that's a bad way to judge how common problems are. 4 years is a long time for a laptop though. Honestly without a model number it's literally just a matter of typing those stats into ebay/amazon and seeing what prices come up. I'd say similar hardware in a different brand usually comes in around $1100 (but with an SSD.) Keep in mind that the next gen of processors and moble graphics are about to come out, so the value might depreciate pretty quickly.

>>56953149

I've just set up a plex server, and I'm looking for very "complicated" files to test it out (transcoding performance). I don't know a lot about video formats and such so I don't know what makes a file complex to transcode - currently the largest I've tested is a 6.6GB MKV, 1080p H.264 with a 8673 Kbps bitrate. It seems to run fine - am I safe to assume I can then use this server for most movies I'll be likely to come across online?

This may sound stupid, but this is the stupid questions thread after all.

How likely exactly, is it for old laptop batteries to explode?
I have a 6 year old laptop, and for a little over a year I notice that my laptop has been telling me that my laptop battery needs to be changed. Thing is though, I am a poor sod and I honestly can't just afford another laptop, and even if I was to just replace the battery it looks like they stopped selling them years ago.

Visually the battery looks fine. And the temperatures inside the laptop are good. But recently my laptop have been making sounds and it tends to vibrate. But I am pretty sure that's just the laptop fan acting up. But I can't help but feel a bit uneasy when the laptop is making sounds, vibrating, while my laptop is telling me that my half a decade old laptop needs a new battery.
I need the computer, but I don't really want to have my face blown off or wake up in a fire in the middle of the night. Is there any real risk? I am fine with the laptop potentially dying, but is there any real risk of safety?

>>56953330
Awesome, thanks.

>>56953271
Well, I mean in terms of taking your time and finding an above average deal on specs with similar value. You may find a buyer willing to pay more. A lot of people see alienware as a premium brand and will pay a premium specifically for it. The lack of SSD hurts though.

https://slickdeals.net/newsearch.php?src=SearchBarV2&q=i7-6700hq+970m&searcharea=deals&searchin=first

>>56953340
Unless there is a recall out for that battery model, there's very low risk of it rupturing. The warning is probably just telling you it could fail soon, or that it's capacity is diminishing.

>>56953149
i did sfc /scannow just for you but everything is fine.
Now im gonna update bios(A mobo from 2012 still gets one lol, based asus). turn on ahci. Install windows with updates from may 2016. install drivers for sata. All in this order. If this won't work then i give up.
Now that im in ide mode i had one freeze for like 10 seconds and then it unfreezed. Thats not good enough for me, but i will stick to this if nothing else work.

>>56953340
Depends how you treat it but the more chinese they are the more likely they are to explode at high temperatures or leak at a impact.

Usually impossible low even with low quality ones.

I want to enable the iGPU from a, i5-4460, but I have read that to keep the regular GPU I'd need a program or whatever because enebling the iGPU from BIOS would disable the other GPU. How correct is that? I think it depends on models of mobos. Mine is a H81M-K.

When I connect a tablet to a PC via USB to transfer files the tablet is also charged a little bit. I read that Li-ion batteries are harmed if the charging process is not steep enough (something like at least 5% of the maximum capacity). Should I transfer files wirelessly to avoid this involuntary USB charging?

I have two other monitors with only VGA, what adapters should I get? The HDMI port is already taken, thought I have an HDMI to VGA that I used to use with my 750ti, so I could get a DP to HDMI, I guess.

Everything will require active adapters, looks like the one you got will be good, probably just get more of those.

What that means is that you want to be sure that you disable UEFI on your new system.

Your disk is GPT or MBR?

>>56953982
Lol

>>56953903
Your drive is probably using GPT as it's partitioning scheme. You can check

http://www.howtogeek.com/245610/how-to-check-if-a-disk-uses-gpt-or-mbr-and-how-to-convert-between-the-two/

If this is true, then that means your system supports 128 primary partitions.

Somehow my data drive where I installed some software is marked as a system drive. How the fuck do I get rid of that since I just want to backup my system ssd?

Anyone got a reccomendation on one of these mini handheld keyboards I can use for a htpc

A drive marked as system in disk management usually contains your boot files. You would want to copy those to your disk C: drive using something like Easybcd.

I'm trying to install ahci drivers in Windows7 installer but they are hidden, I have to uncheck 'hide incompatible drivers' box. Installed them anyway. Does that change anything?

I have four SATA ports on my machine, one has a 240 GB SSD, one a 480 GB SSD, one a 2 TB HDD, and an ODD.

Whenever there's any 'big' HDD activity (such as downloading a Steam game), my entire system slows down. If I'm watching a stream in MPC-HC it stutters and stops, games get major framerate drops, etc. The only happens when using the HDD. SSDs are fine. My OS and the games/applications in question are installed on the SSD.

What's going on?

>>56954431
>only happens when using the HDD.

>>56954494
The HDD itself is fine, though. I don't know what's causing it. The exact same process on one of the SSDs? No problem. The HDD? Everything fucks up. S.M.A.R.T. reports no issues and I tried installing a Linux distro on the HDD and running it and it was fine.

You do that from the bios, right?

Again, my current PC is 6 years old, I never saw that on my own eyes.

There are no bootfiles on the data drive. Only shows boot files from C: which is my system drive.

>>56954274
>>56954024

My disk is MBR.

Actually, my Windows 7 is installed on old 250gb drive, with only one primary partition besides it, I have two 1tb drives as well, one working as storage (single partition) and one housing two primary ones and around 500gb of unasigned space.

All of them are in MBR, as I just checked.

Should I buy a Thinkpad 13 Chromebook if I intend to install Linux on it?

So we have the comcast xfinity mad baller internet package so me and all my neckbeard housemates can play league/wow and watch port all at the same time, and the girlfirends can watch netflix and its all wonderful.

Fastest shit i have ever seen.
BUT NOT ON SMARTPHONES
every single one of our smartphones internet runs like molasses. WHAT GIVES someone tell me this is a real problem all my buddies are on my ass about it

>>56954532
If you're just talking about the process, I don't think you can do anything about that at this point. It's too integrated into windows post anniversary.

>>56954573
Yeah. If your new system has uefi/secure boot, you want to disable that in favor of legacy/bios.

Screencap your disk management


>>56954613
The 4 partition limit is per drive. You could have 12 active partitions with your setup if you distributed them evenly.

There any free open source applications to manage amazon cloud drive? All I can find are monthly fee services.

If you are not physically attached to your network, you have nothing to complain about. Wifi is not low latency, nor is it consistent

Thats why I wanted to know, if those three additional partitions created during Windows 10 install, are primary as well, or logical ones.

My Windows 7 created, along its base primary partition, small "reserved" primary one. According to info I found, one of those four are strickly related to UEFI. Would that mean that if I would install Win10 witout UEFI, it would create just two partitions as well?

I dont want to waste whole 1tb drive just for OS, at the same time I want to be able to dual boot my 7.

>try to install windows 10 ltsb on laptop
>wipe entire disk
>at installation just select the empty space
>Windows could not prepare the computer to boot the next phase of installation. To install windows, restart the installation.

fucking piece of shit.

the wireless works fine and is zippy on our laptops. its just smartphones that are slow

>>56954756
C: is your only system drive. If you're having trouble deleting something else, try diskpart from the command line, or use a 3rd party tool like easeUS partition free.

>>56954799
That's correct. One is UEFI/GPT only, one is an optional recovery drive, and your existing reserved partition will probably end up being used for both copies of windows. The short answer is that this is all automatic and you shouldn't worry about it, unless windows makes that recovery drive and you feel like deleting it later to make free space.

>>56954809
I put the computer in mbr mode and now it's working lel.

How is state stored in electronics?

For example, a CPU has registers. How are values stored in these registers? How are they moved around between registers? I'm talking about the electronic level of components and circuits.

I assume that there is some components that is turned on with current above one voltage and turned off with current below that voltage. What component does that sort of thing?

>>56954914

Alright I think I found the solution. I most likely have to change the drive letter. Would this cause any problems since i got lots of shit installed on it.

>>56954914

>The short answer is that this is all automatic and you shouldn't worry about it, unless windows makes that recovery drive and you feel like deleting it later to make free space.

In worst case it just wont let me install it here.

>and your existing reserved partition will probably end up being used for both copies of windows

Actually, I wanted to install it on this fresh drive with two primary and a lot of unassigned space, unless this doesnt change anything.

Case is that said 250gb drive is more than 9 years old, those 1tb are fresh WB Blue ones from last year.

>>56955102

Whats the drawback of not using UEFI anyway?

Freshly formatted win7 x64, won't stop searching for updates (control panel & pic related). I wanted to have it search for updates once so I can hide the telemetry and then leave it be, but it won't find a result after hours of looking

delete system32

>>56955149
Even if you install it onto a different drive, the two copies of windows will probably use the same system reserved, unless you physically remove the other drives while you're installing win10. On MBR you could actually get it down to 1 partition for windows 7 and 1 for win10 if you really wanted to. But it really doesn't matter.

UEFI is a better designed system, less likely to have partition corruption, doesn't have the 2tb size limitation, 128 active partitions, and secure boot reduces the risk of boot level malware. But it isn't really a big deal unless you're having trouble running a 3tb+ drive.

This website does some weird ass shit. I'm not a programmer, how the hell does this do that? Also, my browser still says it has a valid certificate, and obviously Docker isn't hosting it.

Thanks a lot.

What is this "system reserved" partition used for, by the way?

>>56954785
Could you go more in depth as to what you're applying to?

>>56955483
Mostly boot files, which can be relocated to the c: drive pretty easily. The only other time it matter is if you set up bitlocker encryption, which 99% of people don't.

Is there any reason Android messenger apps haven't started to support WebM yet?

Is the bump limit different than 300?

Using Firefox for Android, I get this message on some 'standard' websites when trying to watch videos:

>no video with supported mime type found

yet they work fine in chrome.

is it because i have cookies enabled (excluding third party)? or something else?
