And yes, I've double-checked my wires and set the priority correctly.

My desktop just shut off immediately, without warning, like it would when there's a power outage. I tried turning it back on, but nothing happened.

There is supposed to be a light you can see from the back that shows the PSU is working and getting power, right? I don't currently see that. Did my power supply just die then?

>>57392289
2nd-3rg gen i5 + 8gb of ram and a mobo of course. That's all you need.

>>57392340
check your capacitors, in both the mobo and the PSU. If you don't know how to identify a busted capacitor, type "busted capacitor" in google images.

Going by the images, they look fine on the motherboard. No cracks or bursting that I can see, just unblemished little cylinders. Do you have a guide or something you can direct me to for opening a power supply?

Thanks for the assistance by the way.

What tweaks can I do to make a 1366*768 TN laptop display more palatable? The laptop in question is an Asus X54H and the black depth, contrast and viewing angles are just so revolting that looking at the display almost makes me want to vomit. It is truly the most miserable, piteous display I have ever had the misfortune of laying eyes upon.

I've already dropped the color temperature in the AMD control panel to 4000K which helped a little bit. Messing with the contrast and saturation values doesn't really do anything.

Well, the few I can see look fine. I don't see any bulging and the tops look fine/smooth, besides the cross shape that I'm fairly certain is normal.

If it's of any importance, I noticed that when attempting to power on the computer, the fans I have at the top of the back and front of the case twitch a bit, starting to spin up before stopping almost instantly. However, that twitching only occurs for one single press of the power button. It takes unplugging/plugging the power cord and switching on/off the PSU for it to happen again (and only once).

is 4 GB of ram enough for 2d game programming

>>57393514
They're usually just 18500 cells. I don't know about the controller through. It'd involve getting the right replacements opening the pack (they're usually molded shut) removing the old batteries and soldering on the new ones (welding would be better and safer).

How forceful should I buy trying to yank out my motherboard from my case?

>>57393597
Yes.

>>57393574
>PSU is dead, sorry dude
It's alright. I cut corners and went for a cheap one to stay within the budget I had, I'm not that surprised even though it's only been around a year and a half.
>Might wanna check if the motherboard still works too.
Can this be done before I order and receive a new PSU (and without needing to buy other tools)?

>>57393610
Minimal force, you've probably missed a screw somewhere.

I got pic related new in the box for $40 but it died about a month after I purchased it.

It powers on now but when it died the video flickered for about 5 seconds and now it just displays a black screen. I think the flyback transformer is dead. It would always crackle a little bit (very softly) when I powered it on.

I had the same problem, did you do anything that would have put the computer to sleep?

I had a remote for my PC that put it to sleep, but the computer (WIN 7) was set to never seep. It was absolutely unresponsive wouldn't even think about posting, even tried forcing it on bridging two connections, it'd be like that for days then come good. The only thing to get the computer running again was using the old PSU.

I never found a fix for it, I just removed the clicker for the button that put it to sleep. Your PSU could also just be dead.

>>57393678
I meant to say "18650".
And yes that would be the process, but I don't know about the battery controller, if they would charge correctly and not explode.

Should I ahoy m80s Windows or just learn to Linux

All you have to do is figure out which init system you're using. It's probably either openrc or systemd. Then you have to look up "how to make bash script run on startup" on google or your favorite indexing site and follow the instructions from there.

So I'm looking to build a rig pretty soon and I was planning on using an M.2 SSD as the OS drive and two HDD's in RAID1 for pretty secure storage. Thing is I was doing some research on the mobo I had picked and apparently ASUS mobo's have some sort of glitchs that when you enable the RAID for the HDD's the SSD disappears.

Should I scrap the RAID or should I scrap the mobo?

I suppose the RAID is really just me being paranoid. I could potentially get a NAS to back up to.

>>57392140
So, what's a better deal, the RX 480 or Fury, and which one will age better with time?

I'm going to be using a few monitors, but does four extra GB of RAM really matter?

By the way, a fury is going for cheap on Newegg right now, check it out: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202186&cm_re=amd_fury-_-14-202-186-_-Product

Also, for whichever one is superior in price/performance, which one is the best one to get?

Or should I just get a 470 if I'm looking for price/performance?

>>57392687
pls help guys i'm getting money from this

>>57396090
What would you use them for?

> 8gb vram
It does not really matter.
I have 8gigs. Most games (GTA IV, Siege) on high/ultra will eat up 3gigs or so.
BF1 eats up 3.5gigs or so.

But you can always just lower the texture quality for something reasonable, 4gigs should be more than enough for anything.

> will age better
Nvidia, AMD drops driver support fast as fuck.
(I'm no fanboy, just a disgruntled customer who have been fucked over twice because of this.)

I would pick the 480 just because it eats less.

Just get a cheap Xeon tower server from eBay.

It has to use the 1151 socket if you want guaranteed integrated graphics.

Just get a fucking prebuilt tower server. I saw a ThinkServer for cheap (like $150) not too long ago, and you could get them for about $200 at that time if you didn't take the deal then.

Trying to set up my router for online gaming.

Keep getting booted from multiplayer.

Attempting to enable UPnP.

Option not available on router.

Is this just because my router is old as shit?

Cisco dcs 3825

does a mobile phone sim card still send & receive when not in a phone, or when in a phone while it is turned off?

I am aware of faraday cages, but I just want to know if the above is sufficient.

>>57396138
sim cards dont have antennas or batteries so a sim card by itself can't do anything
it can still be possible for a phone to send and receive data even when it is 'off'

>>57396129
There is nothing wrong with your router, and you have NOTHING to do if you want to "game online".
It's something else.

What game, and what is the kick / error message?

>>57396138
Of course not, it needs power to operate. And it's not the SIM card that "works by itself", it accesses the phone's proprietary radio unit that can do this "tinfoil" shit.

When in phone turned off... I don't think so.
There is all kind of "jew lizard evil people can do this and that" fairy tales, but I just don't think so.

So my ISP only gives me a IPv6 adress (ds-lite) and no IPv4 adress.

I want to create a dynDNS to my network.
The questions are:
Is this even possible with IPv6?
Do I even need a dynDNS, since IPv6 has a huge range and my adress might aswell be static?

I already created a dynDNS with dynv6.com and that worked, up until I wanted to start a simple HTTP server to see if everything works.
I created a portforwarding to my local machine on my router. The server itself is reachable within the network e.g. ports open.
Still, I'm getting an ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED when I try to reach my IPv6 adress...

Is there something I fundamentaly missunderstood about ds-lite / IPv6??
I understood that the shown IPv4 adress on whatismyip or whatever is shared with others and I won't be able to reach myself with this one.

For information:
ISP is Kabel-BW (Germany)

>>57396124
> What would you use them for?
Multiple displays.

I'm planning on having a few 1600x1200 monitors in the near future and a 1600p 16:10 monitor (or more) in the extended future. By the time I need to replace it, I will have done so already.

What the fuck.
No public IPv4?

You should use or buy a tunnel...

Ok you can just Google it.
Basically AMD gives you this (currently) Crimson drivers, that's the normal one.

After 1-2 years card enters to "Legacy" meaning they don't care, it will mostly work with those drivers though.

Then there are no drivers. If Windows finds one, or you can force one up, it's fine, but otherwise you are fucked.

I don't care about outside connectivity.
I just want to VPN into my network and reach my services from outside.

>>57396220
> disgruntled
My 3650 support got dropped quite fast, moved into Legacy that never really worked, then the support stopped fully. My 7870 also ended up getting forgot very fast.
BUT, dropping driver support is normal. Intel also does it.
But you don't play games on that, so it does not really matter.

And Nvidia is just totally crazy for support.
Even Geforce 200 series has a fresh driver.

> 480 eats less
480 has a new architecture, just like how the Geforce 900 and 1000 series eats much less.
They eat tons of less power, thus pushing out quite a lot less heat.
Less noise, less heat, more efficient.

Also, check the cards for each vendor, most sell "0-db fan" editions.
Which means if the card runs cool (i.e. <40C), the fan will not even turn on.
I have a 1060 in my other PC, and the fan only turns on in intensive games. It's awesome.

>>57396352
It's not popular yet. We are just running out of IPv4 adresses. There is no other way, IPv6 is inevitable.
My ISP is just one of the bigger ones that already is short on its ranges. Others will follow.

To get an IPv4 adress you normally pay extra i.e. a business option with your ISP.

I don't think it matters what I have on the other side. Most programs can already connect with IPv6, while using IPv4. Atleast the stuff I want to use has no problem with (mostly web stuff, though I'm a little concerned about VPN, but I bet there is an option)

Good thing I'm also planning on upgrading to Xeons and I'm just going to use 720p resolutions.

720p is good enough, right?

>>57396352
Also to clarify. I can reach any IPv4 from my point.
My ISP just acts as a middleman with DS-Lite.
It acts like this:

Me (IPv6) -> ISP(IPv6)
ISP translates my IPv6 to an IPv4, that is used by more than one person
ISP (IPv4) -> Web (IPv4)
Web (IPv4) -> ISP (IPv4)
ISP translates IPv4 to my IPv6
ISP (IPv6) -> me (IPv6)

Or in other words, it just acts like a NAT.

I want Photoshop CC. Adobe offers either an individual app for 24 euros a month (which could be Photoshop) or Photoshop CC through the photography subscription for 12 euros a month. Why the hell would anyone get Photoshop as an individual app for double the price? Am I missing something here?

Check out Nvidia 1060s. They are perfect for 1080p gaming.
But I am no shill, the RX480 will be also perfect.

If you plan on jumping the DX12/Vulkan bandwagon - which not many has support for - yet, the 480 is a better pick.
But for now - for like 3-4 years, Dx11 is here to stay.

> 720p resolution
What? No. 1080p is standard now.

> Xeon
Xeon is not the best for gaming.
It does great for parallel tasks - web hosting; rendering and such.
For single thread, check passmark.

https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html
For example: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i5-2500K+%40+3.30GHz
> Single Thread Rating: 1897

4 cores is also enough for rendering, so an i5 would do all you need I guess.
The 2500K is old, just an example above.

You don't need a Xeon for gaming, get an i5, or i7 if you really want to spend some bucks, but i5 is fine for anything. Also 16GB RAM is still a meme and 8GB will be fine for the next 5 years, atleast for normal gaming.

You can get something cheaper and invest more in a better graphics card if you need one.

I know damn well what it is and isn't good for.

"Not the best for gaming" my fucking ass. I can get performance comparable or better than a 6700k for the same cost with ES CPUs, with single thread performance only taking a slight hit.

Also, I thought /g/ didn't like PassMark?

Don't listen to that fag, you can get an ES E5 and probably E3 CPU for the cheap and you can use ECC RAM.
The only thing you'll be missing is the integrated graphics and the single-thread performance hit with the E5, but you get better upgradability if you ever want a dual-socket motherboard.

Also, LGA 2011-V3 >>> LGA 1151.

I use it, so far it was perfectly spot on for every time I checked and verified speeds after purchase.
Again, its' just one test, there are others, does not matter which one you use.

> for the same cost with ES CPUs
If it's multi threaded, of course.
Heck, if it is, AMD CPUs can also be mentioned.

> ECC ram
I had both in my servers, but still don't get the fuss.
Never had issues with quality ram.
The only valid reason to get ECC is if you do some very long calculation (that takes months to complete) and it must be absolutely correct.
But... in that case you should save and verify your results anyway.

>>57396558

You should check BIOS first, before Windows.

- Is it connected with cable? Replace SATA cable, check.
- Is the PSU cable that goes to the HDD works? Replace wit other, check.

If both are replaced/checked, go into BIOS, set SATA mode to "Compatibility/IDE", or "AHCI", or "RAID", try these.
No, RAID mode will not do anything, it will just toss the drive to the raid controller if your mobo has any.

if i use a notebook for office and internet things, will DDR4 be an improvement over DDR3?

Im looking through notebooks that have Win10, 4-8GB RAM and 128-256GB SSD and some of them have DDR3, i wonder whether or not the lower frequency of DDR3 could be a bottleneck

>>57397141
No. It will not matter at all.
Back in the DDR3 era, it only mattered for iGPU speed.

Lately, I saw benchmarks where they showed that very fast DDR4 modules can outperform other slower ones.
Again:
- This only applies to 'extreme gaming' situations. Such as 4K with Titan and water-cooled overclocked i7.
- The difference is well within the margin of error. Couple of FPS.
- The very fast DDR4 ram costs tons.

So, to answer your question again, NO it won't.

Also, I would just buy the one that's the cheapest.
Manufacturers charge tons for a bigger SSD, more ram... both you can just buy from the shops.
And it's not a big task to install them into the machine.

>>57392140
Is anyone here good with SQL?
I have a table of 'seats', each with a type. The type is a foreign key into another table that holds the cost of each type of seat. I'm trying to form a query which finds the revenue for each type by counting the distinct values of each type and multiplying it by the price via nested select:

SELECT `seats`.`type`, COUNT(`seats`.`type`) * (SELECT `seatTypes`.`price` FROM `seatTypes` WHERE `seatTypes`.`type` = `seats`.`Type`) as 'count' FROM `seats` GROUP BY `seats`.`type`

This works fine but I'm sure it's horribly inefficient. Am I right?

SHIT NIGGER WHAT ARE YOU DOING
You don't just buy ECC RAM for the benefits of increased maximum capacity, but also for the ABSOLUTELY DECIMATED prices that occur when businesses with servers decide to sell their ECC RAM on the used market.

Happened with DDR2, happened with DDR3, it'll happen with DDR4.

>>57397112
I don't get it.

>>57397141
No. Absolutely not.

The only benefits of additional generations of RAM is the increased capacity and the decreased power consumption (and the heat that comes with it).

>>57397199
Yeah i considered just buying a 400 euro model with a 500gb hard drive and 4gb of ram, buy an ssd and extra ram and assemble it myself. I would use the 500gb hard drive as a separate drive.
On the other hand i dont want to spend hours looking through notebook models and fiddle around with the one i buy just to save 50 bucks
>>57397331
>The only benefits of additional generations of RAM is the increased capacity and the decreased power consumption (and the heat that comes with it).
well technically i know that the frequency is higher so the "throughput" per second is probably bigger. But i was unsure whether or not an intel i3 could even get up to that speed

>>57397331
One year difference is huge.
This is like saying one card supports DX10, other DX11, because it's one year newer.
Of course it will support a new standard, holy moly.

> You don't just buy ECC RAM for the benefits of increased maximum capacity, but also for the ABSOLUTELY DECIMATED prices
No one sells their used ECC RAM here, and if I do a new build, I want a current standard module.
My i7 was able to use ECC modules, but when I built it, no one even had used ones.

Now it's time to do a new build. Okay, Xeon E3 or E5.
DDR4 ECC. Oh wait, no one fucking sells them again?!
How great is that.

Back to square one.

>>57397365
Well, you don't just save 50 bucks.
If you buy a ram yourself, you will get more ram, for the same money.
And, you get a Lifetime, or 5-10-20 years of warranty.

For HDD? Are you kidding?
A WD Black HDD comes with 5 years of warranty.
Not puny 1 or 2.

SSD? Again, kidding?
Intel has 5 years on their SSDs, and they cost the same.

You save money, and have longer warranty on parts.
Double win.
Check the manual though if the HDD/RAM bay is accessible at all.

>>57397394
huh, i didnt even think of that. Thanks for the advice

>>57397448
Bring VeraCrypt portable on a pendrive with you?

>>57397405
Well, correct me if I am wrong but I am sure you can use existing "hip n cool" frameworks AND use C# to do the code part.
You know what I mean, these pre-built/baked website templates on github that you just re-work, and almost everyone uses these.

>>57397469
So all I need is a USB drive with Veracrypt installed on it?

>>57397487
Portable means doubleclick and it runs.
Grab this: http://portableapps.com/apps/security/veracrypt-portable
Run it, it will extract it somewhere.

Copy the extracted files on the pendrive.
... That's it.

Oh ok. Thanks.

I have an issue where I often get ~10 second periods where websites will not load, I can't open any program which requires a connection, nothing 'new' is allowed to happen.
And yet connection to existing stuff is fine, I can be talking to people online, live-streams working, 4chan updating, and yet be completely unable to use the internet otherwise.

Anyone know what could be up? Or at least some keywords to search for since it isn't an overall connectivity issue.

Sounds like so.
Connect directly to modem and check.

>>57397581
Yes.
On Windows? Go into Disk Management and add drive.
> right click start

Rest is self explanatory.
Mind you, RAID0 is yolo mode.
That said I have ran a WD Black 2x1 TB RAID0 for 6 years.
One of them started gathering errors, the RAID controller and "HDD Guardian" both warned me about it.
And I always keep backups because even two drives in RAID1 can fail together at the same time.

>>57397682
Interesting.
Do I need an additional controller/device for that or can I just hook it up to my mobo and get it going.
Which RAID level supports hotswapping? (For some reason I am extremely paranoid about my HDD failing due to BSODs or something at the wrong time)
Does the failure rate of RAID arrays increase compared to non-RAID HDDs?

>>57397747
Sorry I was a bit wrong there.
Windows cannot do Software RAID0.
Only, if it's not your system drive.

There is Software Raid that your OS does.
Any major OS (Win, Linux, BSD, etc) can do RAID by software.

Hardware Raid is a chip.
It can be on a card, or integrated on the motherboard.
Most motherboards come with Intel raid controllers.
It's on the box, and in the manual, if yours has one.
Check that first.

Which is better? Depends.
Software raid:
+ You can access SMART data
+ It's fast, sometimes even faster than HW raid
+ No need to mess with raid controller
+ No cost for battery in raid controller and shit like that
- Windows will NOT boot if one dies in RAID1 for example
- Messy for remote installs/headless machines

HWRAID:
+ Absolute babby mode, "just werks"
+ Can be tough if it's a bitchy controller
+ Can boot degraded without issue (RAID1, 5, 6, etc)

>>57397797
>intel raid controllers
I doubt my will have one considering it came with an AMD processor.
Can windows work with HW RAID0 if it's the system drive?

>>57397797
SO NOW, head to google, find your mobo, check if it has RAID.
Most mobos have this "SATA mode" in BIOS.
Once you flick that to "RAID", the RAID controller setup at boot.
It can be opened with ESC, F whatever... it will say.

Good luck.

>>57397755
It's a mechanical damage. So nope.
The only chance in this case is to find a company, they get a same model, replace the plates in a clean room, run deep scan, try to save as much as possible. This is very, very, very, very fucking costly. A simple check of a broken drive can be a 1000$ or more. Then you pay for the donor drive, and then pay for the man hours, and so on...

Next time just use Backblaze or Crashplan. (yeah I know, fuck me. sorry.)

>>57397771
Yes, gookmoot added rogue ads.
Install "Malware bytes" and "avast", scan with both, clean.

Then, use:
> Free Adblock Browser (it's a Chrome, free, fast)
> Lightning+ (1$ or so, but fast and light, foss)
> Opera (free adblock in settings)
> Ad66 (global free DNS adblocker)
> AdGuard (paid blocker but works and needs no root)
> Firefox Beta + uBlock (FF is fucking slow)

>>57397826
See my previous reply, Windows can't do RAID0 if it's system drive.
Your best shot is to buy a 128GB SSD, that's like only 20-30$ now, and RAID0 the two drives.
But, I just checked my local "Amazon", and I can see RAID cards for 10-20$ too.

Choice is yours.
I would just buy the SSD + do SW raid.
No fuss then.

But don't be so sure about this "mine has no raid controller", it's pretty standard now.
Just google the model, or share it with us.

Why is PHP sooo fucked up?

<?php
$foobar = '';
//isset — Determine if a variable is set and is not NULL
if (isset($foobar)) {
    echo 'foo';
}
if ($foobar == null) {
    echo 'bar';
}
?>

Returns:
foobar

> RAID0 ; RAID1

I forgot to answer your previous post.
Hot plugging depends on controller, and of course, it can be only done with RAID levels that have spares.
RAID1, RAID5, RAID6 and so on.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_RAID_levels
http://www.raid-calculator.com/

If you have 2 drives, it's RAID0 or RAID1.
If you have 4:
> RAID6 - twice drives can fail, but no write speed boost
> RAID10 - one drive can fail, but speed boost and capacity boost

That's it.

Having a null value does not mean it's not not set. Creating a variable in PHP is equivalent to creating a pointer. It might not even point to an actual value but it's still created.
Depending on language "\0" is also considered as null since it's called "NULL terminator". Even though it's not actually NULL, it is considered as NULL in some cases.

I have an z97 Asus mobo. For the last week or so every time my computer is started up or restarted, it puts my power saving plan into performance, locking my 4790k at max MHz. I can open up AI Suite and easily set the power mode to Auto and everything goes back to normal, but whenever I restart it it'll go back to max speed again.

I have good cooling so it's not a major prob, but it just makes my computer louder cuz of CPU fans.

Any idea what could be doing this? Haven't had the prob till very recently.

I overclocked my 6700k to 4,5ghz but it doesn't go back to a multiplier of 8 without load. how do I change this?

>>57398413
Did you disable power saving features in BIOS?
That can be the only explanation...
Also, are you on "Balanced" power profile in Windows?

"Intel Extreme Tuning Utility" can also give you info. It's a free application.

I somehow deleted my porn folder, now my HD is partitioned into C and H, my folder is in H. Drive, but if I go on properties on the C drive it's got a previous version I can restore, would that work?

>>57398424
I did nothing but apply an XMP profile for my RAM and a 45 multiplier for my CPU. before these two settings everything was fine. I am on balanced power profile.
I will go into BIOS and check for any power saving options.

>>57398443
No.
Previous versions is something different.
But you still have a chance to recover.

1) Shutdown PC
2) Put hdd on other pc
3) Run an NTFS recovery tool. Most are $, just pirate one, I mean you pirate porn, that's just fucking sad already.
4) Recover as much as possible

>>57398465
Aaaaah.
You applied ONE multiplier.
It does what you asked it to do.

Look for other OC tools in bios, or use the program I mentioned.

>>57397365
> well technically i know that the frequency is higher so the "throughput" per second is probably bigger. But i was unsure whether or not an intel i3 could even get up to that speed
Ah, so you were that one faggot from that other thread, I suppose.

Look, throughput is balanced out by latency.

DDR3 clocked at 3000 MHz doesn't mean shit if it has a CAS of 20-20-20.

Successive generations of RAM have increased MHz at the cost of increased latency.

What, you upgrade your shit every time a new RAM specification comes out?

How much of a fucking faggot are you?

Not only that, but CPU technology hasn't advanced much on the Intel side since Sandy Bridge, so there's really no reason whatsoever to upgrade unless you had a socket from before it.

Actually try using your shit for more than two or three years, holy fuck.

Like you need to raise the MAX multiplier.
Most motherboards have these one-click OC tools, that will do the trick.
Or just explore the BIOS and find out how can you OC without applying one solid multiplier.

What part of

Do you not understand?

LGA 1366 is from before Sandy Bridge.

Way to go for proving me right.

Also, it's not my fault that you bought in right when DDR3 was introduced. DDR4 was introduced with Haswell and LGA 2011-V3, so there was no excuse to not at least double your RAM for pennies on the dollar if you still had a capable system.

If you had waited at least one year for Sandy Bridge you would've been able to realize those benefits.

Also, i cores can't use ECC RAM, to the best of my knowledge.

I spilled some milk on my mobo and it sent it into a boot loop, powering up everything but restarting after a few seconds.

So I literally washed it off in the sink and let it dry completely. I put everything back in and now it actually powers up fine and stays on.

The problem is that I dont get any video now though. The green mobo light is on and every fan is spinning. Is it possible that the mobo is still fried even though everything powers up on it? I wouldnt be surprised, since I kinda did give it a bath. Im just wondering if I should check anything before buying a new one. It doesn't go to bios at all and I dont have a speaker to test post beeps. Just blank black screen

Nope, it does not have these options. These are complex options. The name of the camera is "EASYSHARE". So you plug it on the PC, and it opens the memory space.

I'm looking to buy a GPU, a 750ti specifically as recommended by here for my shitty desktop in the meantime. The one I'm looking at requires a 300W, and my desktop has a 320W PSU, is that fine or will complications occur? I don't have anything demanding in this desktop, a Core 2 Duo E8500 CPU and 8GB of DDR3 sdRAM, the GPU will be the only thing added.

An RX 460 should perform better.

Xeon was always too expensive for the 775, and for the 1366.
Only now it's as affordable as an i5/i7.

>>57399462
What, you couldn't get ES CPUs back then?

>>57399500
Back then they were a lot more expensive than normal i5/i7 models.
Now they are priced roughly similar.

Don't know what happened.

I'm trying to setup a system as a NAS, and I'm having problems with a 3TB hdd.

It's properly detected in the BIOS, and on a Windows system it can be mounted with all content there.

In the Ubuntu Server install the output of sudo fdisk -l is:

Disk /dev/sdd: 2.7 TiB, 3000592982016 bytes, 5860533168 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x00028375

/dev/sdd1         256 732558335 732558080 349.3G  7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT

Any clues on a way to fix it without having to format it?

I own a z170 based pc and i'll tell you that it ain't worth it. you get the same performance on older architectures for less money. Only if you want to go 128GB ram/ PCIe SSD / futureproofing it might be worth it but then you might as well go X99 which is more performance oriented.

>>57399516
you still haven't said anything about what's the problem...

>>57399000
Its was kind of a last resort thing, I was planning on buying a new one anyway so I figured I would just try it. But to my surprise it actually still powers up

Sorry, still troubleshooting it so I ended posting only half the message.

Besides the partition being detected as 349GB (it's the full 3TB, with about 2.2TB used), trying to map it results in

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdd1,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error

       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail or so.

>>57399641
How do you mount it?
ntfs-3g?
-t ntfs?

What is in dmesg?
