Interesting.... so if it's a bad CPU could I stress it with something like Prime95 and cause the issue, or would this be an independent problem?
I'm probably going to buy a new board but there are 2 versions of this board. The one I have now supports the Xeon v2 CPUs, while the cheaper ones on...
I've got an old HP z420 workstation which is plenty fast enough for what I use it for: a plex and file server that I also use as my primary desktop. I've got 4 HDDs and 1 SATA SSD. For the last few years I've been fighting with cryptic errors in the event log and a computer that sometimes just...
Anyone know how much PAG oil will come out if the refrigerant is rapidly let out of the system? I plan on replacing the dryer before pulling vacuum and replacing the refrigerant so I assume a good amount will also be in the dryer. The system holds 5oz of PAG 46. Would a 3oz can be enough to...
Current: 2018 Mazdaspeed 3 89k miles
Future: Newest CX-9 with the most safety features I can afford. Realistically if I purchased now probably no newer than a 2012 so probably going to wait a bit longer. I haven't even hit 100k miles yet on my speed3.
I have a Mazda 5 that had issues in the past with the transmission computer throwing a bad solenoid code and going into limp mode. When looking to replace the solenoids I found a listing on ebay saying that if you get these codes the transmission computer is bad and has to be replaced or...
I have a few free codes. Beta is almost over today but there is one more test on Thursday. FCFS.
Sorry for crossposting but it looks like the console gaming subforum is a ghost town.

I am gonna try some JB Weld + sandwiching it with some big washers as suggested first and see if that holds. Thanks for the suggestions.
I was chopping up a lot of down debris from Hurricane Michael (after removing as must of the larger debris as I could). Still, I must have hit too large of a branch because I cracked the stupid sump where the engine attaches to the deck at the bottom (see pics). Now engine is vibrating...
I just bought a new 2 story house and I am trying to figure out how to baby proof the staircase. The bottom stairs wrap around the wall so there is nothing to anchor a baby gate to. I was thinking about attaching a piece of 2x4 to the wall to affix the other side of a baby gate to but my wife...
I got an Xbox one s specifically to play 4k content on an "old" 4k TV that came out before the new HDMI specification. Naturally it can only display 4k at 24fps. I figured that this would be fine for movies. However I can't get anything to work in 4k. It looks like neither Netflix or Hulu...
I believe so. I ran the built in Win10 memory check a while back and it passed. The only other reasons I can think of are 1) the motherboard only officially supports 8x8GB sticks, but we put in 8x16GB sticks (because we like to live dangerously) or 2) Windows was installed using legacy boot and...
I figured it out because it worked on an identical system with less ram. Had it not been for that I probably would not have figured it out. The installer gave some non-informative error like "The installer has encountered a fatal error" and that was it. The program runs fine after being installed.
I have 128GB of ram on one of the work PCs and twice now I have run into issues with installers crashing with cryptic error messages because of too much ram. One was an old version of Matlab that refused to install (2017 version installed fine) and another was an old version of Sigmaplot. I was...
Oh god, this brings back nightmares. I had a zip disk that contained a school project that had been written on by a bad drive. Well when a good drive tried to read from the disk it caused the heads to go out of bounds and it killed the good drive as well. I think I tried to read my project of 5...
I'm a lab manager at a research university. We have Xeon workstations in the lab with 64GB Ram we bought with our startup funds. My boss got the department to give me one of the grad student cubicles. They don't give out computers to them. Actually though, this department is pretty stingy. The...
I have put Radeon HD series GPUs in very old Dell Optiplex (as old as Pentium 4) rigs with massive performance increases in Windows 7. Maxing out the ram is also usually a necessity for anything newer than WinXP.
You can even find Radeon HDs in old PCI format. Is it worth the money? Probably...
I have a cubicle space at work I can use but they didn't give me a computer so I was going to set up one of my spares. I'm not sure though which one to keep because they all have similar Passmark scores, even for single threaded performance. I want to keep the best one because I'll probably sell...
I agree. I will only eat the spicy chicken sandwich there now. I used to really like their burgers too but once they changed them to be perfect squares they are no longer good, just super greasy.
Page Up/Down and Home/End no longer work reliably with this new forum software. Frequently I'll press page up or home and it just keeps throwing me to the bottom of the page again. So frustrating! :mad:
Keep an eye out on slickdeals for xbox live sales. Usually around the holidays they are $30-35 for a full year of gold. I got 2 years worth last holiday. It's worth it for the free games every month, plus it enables cloud storage on the 360. Currently I've been playing the fallout 3 digital copy...
I dunno. This new PS4 is really ugly but I actually like of like the look of the new xbox one slim. Just wish they offered it in black. Not a fan of white in my entertainment console.
