I upgraded my Windows 7 PC to Windows 10. It has a i7-3770 processor, Intel DH77EB motherboard and a Radeon HD7770 video card. It was running very well under Windows 7 with few issues. The PC has 8GB ram, SSD for the OS and two hard drives.
After the Windows 10 upgrade was finished, I did a...
I still have my D40 and I have zero plans to replace it. I don't know if I have ever had a electronic device this long and have not wanted to upgrade it.
Memory tests don't always catch errors. Try running with one stick for a while or running through the programs listed in the stability testing thread that is a sticky in the CPU forum.
Thanks for the help, I have found that I have a bad stick of ram. Interesting thing is that I ran the built-in windows memory tester for 12 hours and it did not find any problems. I then ran memtest86+ for 12 hours and it did not find any problems.
After this I decided to run through all of the...
My new PC that I built when Ivy Bridge was released has been the most unreliable and troublesome PC that I have ever had.
I have been getting Bluescreens with ntfs.sys, memory_management, SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION stop screens.
Video card driver crashes, Microsoft Image Composite Editor...
I have a Ivy Bridge system with:
I7-3770 processor
Intel DH77EB motherboard
Win7 Pro
Crucial Ram
4 Drives:
SATA Port 0 - Crucial M4 256GB - Disk 0 in "Disk management" - C: drive
SATA Port 1 - Hitachi 2TB HDS723 - Disk 1 = Z: drive
SATA Port 2 - Optical - Lite On - ATAPI HAS32 -CD-ROM 0...
I recently built a new Ivy Bridge system and I am having trouble with my front panel USB3 ports. My motherboard is an Intel DH77EB and my case is a Fractal Design define R3.
If I plug in any USB device to the front panel USB 3 port Win7 64bit gives me an error stating "Power Surge on Hub...
My last two computers had Intel motherboards and they were essentially problem free. Zero to very, very few lockups, crashes, reboots or anything similar.
In fact, I have a new Intel DH77EB MB waiting on a Ivy Bridge I7-3770 CPU.
I have seen some reports on major issues if the power is interrupted at the wrong time with the dataplex software that is used on the Crucial drive(and others). It seems that sometimes the system may take many hours to rebuild itself if it see issues on the first boot after a power outage.
I...
Jman13,
I have thought about that, but have not really found a good solution to moving the c:\users folder. I know that I can easily move the "My Documents" folder, but folders like "AppData" I can't find a good way to move. I just checked and AppData is one of the hogs and is taking up 17GB...
I am planing a new Ivy Bridge system and I am trying to decide how to partition my SSD/HD drives.
I currently have ~130GB(windows + programs + stuff that programs insist on installing in My Documents) on my system drive and loads of data on my data drive. I would like to get a ssd in my new...
I have used the Consumer Preview and hated it. I really don't think that Microsoft is that stupid, at least I hope not.
So, I wonder if there is something that they are holding back that would make navigating the OS actually usable. I don't think that many people would enjoy waving their arms...
I have tried the CP more and I still don't like it. I constantly use the start menu on Win7 to search, open recent files and click on about everything else that is on there. I use way to many programs to pin them all to the task bar. I also don't like Metro Apps always running full screen. If...
I have tried it on my old laptop and I do not like it. It really does seem like two interfaces tacked together and it is always switching between the two. I think that it would be great on a tablet, but not on the desktop.
I do not see myself has someone who hates change because in the past I...
It really depends on the software that you are using. Some programs make little use of video cards and some more. Some programs use the GPU for the final encoding phase and not the actual editing.
So determine what software that you will be using and go from there. I currently use Vegas Movie...
It appears that the latest Windows Live Movie Maker used on Windows 7 does support AVCHD.
However, I am using the latest version of Sony Vegas Movie Studio and I love it, but it does have more of a learning curve and it's own "quirks". The issues that I have seen are mostly related to saving...
If you would like to get serious about photography, get the DSLR and learn to use it. I am so glad that I did several years ago.
I would say the Nikon, but I am biased. Either the Nikon or Canon should be fine, even if it is an older model. I still have my 4.5 year old Nikon D40 and it still...
Great Reminder.
Also, remember if you have kids to take photos of yourself and not just the kids. My father passed away when I was very young and my favorite photos of that time are the ones with him in them and not myself.
First of all, that is an incredibly awesome photo.
Second, since you are into a very niche form of Photography it is hard to say for sure. My best guess would be Dell u2410 along with the spyder calibrator. Keep in mind that the Spyder3Express is only meant for a single monitor and you need to...
Sony Vegas Movie Studio or Adobe Premiere Elements are likely your best bet, only downside is that they are ~$70 each. I flip flop back and forth between them every few years. Keep in mind though they are still not perfect.
I am currently on Vegas Movie studio 11 and it works well for me...
I had something similar happen with a friends new PC several years ago. Brand new system would not allow access to some major website(I think that is was adobe.com, but can't remember the details). One of the many reasons that I build my own systems now.
I think that in the future film cameras will be about like records are now with a small, but devoted following. Just as there are people that love the "vinyl sound" or using them as tools for DJ purposes, there will be people that love the "film look" or use it for various art purposes.
I love...
I recently took my son roller-skating. About 1 half of all of the parents taking pictures or videos of their children were using their cell phones.
I love my DSLR and can get much better pictures than any cell phone, but a lot of people are satisfied with cell phone images.
IF this turns out to be true, Dell is looking at the future post-PC world. A world with few traditional PC's and a lot of iPad/Smart Phone like devices that are relatively cheap, but does the work that 95% of users perform every day. I can imagine something a bit bigger than a iPad, but with...
I was just at Office Depot and they had 17 notebooks, 2 netbooks, 3 desktops and 1 all-in-one for sale. Interestingly they also had ~16 monitors and a huge selection of full size keyboards.
I will likely have a desktop as my main PC for a long time, but it appears that most are buying laptops.
I think that for most users the laptop has already killed the desktop. I bought a cheap ~$500 Compaq laptop several years ago and it still is a fine websurfing/facebook/youtube/ms office machine. I still have my desktop for Gaming/Photo & Video Editing, but most mainstream users do not do these...
I have this same board and it works great. I don't care about overclocking and I just want a stable & problem free system and that is what I have. I was a little leery about it at first, but the entire system built around it has been essentially problem free for almost 3 years now.
I have thought the same thing for a very long time, Data integrity and system stability has always been at the top of my priority list when building a system and I have always been successful at that.
However, I am wondering if all of this is a marketing thing and the chips are designed to be...
I have a Compaq F730US laptop that is my second system. Recently the wireless adapter has intermittently stopped working.
When it is not working it appears to be disabled and is not recognized by Windows 7. I can go into the bios, reload the defaults and the wireless adapter will work until...
I have a E8400 and I feel the same way. I wish it was faster when encoding video, but that is it. I thinking that this system will last till about the time Windows 8/whatever cpu comes next is released.
I would not replace it with a wire. Very bad things could happen depending on what the component was and what it was used for. For example if it was a power supply filtering cap you would short the supply rail to ground.
You might want to wait until Sandy Bride arrives. It is said that it will have a section of the processor dedicated to video transcoding. Keep in mind that if you do wait you wait you will likely have to wait again to get software support.
Keep in mind that you are buying into a system and you need to look at the prices and quality of additional lenses, flashes and remotes. Look and see what software the camera manufacture offers for processing raw files and the cost.
Tektronix used to do this with oscilloscopes. They would ship with the full amount of ram and a chunk of it was disabled unless you paid extra. Things got interesting when the initial firmware on one of the models had a "bug" and the entire amount of ram was enabled. If you wanted to upgrade the...
About the only one that I am aware of is the Panasonic GH1 which will not fit in your pocket. I have seen a few models lately that will do 1080i60 and plenty that will do 720p30, but none at 720p60. Some of the Kodak pocket models will do 1080p60, but if you definition of "great pictures" is the...
