ok. i have no idea how this happened.
Windows 10 pro. Intel 8700k. MSI game MB. 1- 1T NVME drive. One 2T HD. One 1T HD
Windows 10 was installed on the NVME. 2T was Steamgames. 1T was applications (photo editing etc)
I think the NVME died because Win10 would not boot. Would not even go to BIOS...
well. either the magic pixies came and fixed it or the poltergeist got bored and left. I did not change or unplug any cables. It just started to work
I started drive 4 yesterday that already had Manjaro-Cinnamon installed. Two nights ago when i tried to update after install, it froze.
Tried...
what i find the most frustrating is this is something new. I used this set up for about 2 years with no issues. I have had several distros on drive 4 in past. Manjaro. Mint. Fedora. Debian. Ubuntu. It was all working.
The only recent change is, In July i got the RTX2060 Super. Put that in the...
I find that this is the easiest way to go. Used to use GRUB to boot to different os. Also if i cannot figure out why drive 4 is being so picky. I would use drive 4 as a extra back up drive. Turn on when need. Turn off when not. Currently have like 6 back up drives. I have 4 WD external USB...
disk check program on USB drive or Hard drive or both?
Did not run check software. But did try a different USB drive and did buy a brand new 1T Firecuda.
I even used a brand new data cable and plugged it into a different place on the motherboard.
did not help
oh yea forgot to add.
On the Solus Linux drive. Using the exact same ISO ( i used to make bootable install drive with Rufus) i can install and run MX-Linux. Why the heck - on the same hardware - does MX install and run in a virtual machine but not install and run on a different drive on same...
Very strange problem installing a new OS i just cant figure out why

I have a Kingwin hard drive switch. I have 4 hard drives.

yes archers out of range. But there was what, 100 unsullied? At least 12 scorpions on the wall. 20k gold company that could have come out and ran over dany and her crew.
Euron shot a moving dragon out of the sky from moving ships from hundreds of feet away. The 12 scorpions on the wall could...
I have God of War but have not played it much past the beginning. Looks like a fun game though. Finished Beyond Two Souls last night so probably get into GoW today.
As others mentioned. Horizon Zero Dawn (and the expansion) one of my top fave of all time games.
Loved all the Uncharted games...
working on backlog of games. Finally finished FarCry4 and Wolfenstein the new order. Now working thru the Deus Ex games. Human Revolution now. Mankind Divided later on. But i think next would me Mass Effect 2.
Not sure you can finish it but still have much to do in Fallout 4. Still have parts...

Is the tv still a current model? They may replace it because still under warranty. If not current model they probably offer a newer model with similar features. And as others have said, it could be a refurbished unit.
I mostly never get extended warranty. But the last TV i got, the store worked...
Thanks everyone. From reviews i read i ended up with the 2nd best choice (NordVPN). Mainly because i could get 2yrs of service for the price of 1yr. Been testing various things. I like that it has browser plugins (Firefox and Chrome). Been running tests like, whats my ip, DNS leak test and IPv6...
I have been reading about VPNs and have used them in the past. Started using one again recently.
I have read how they work. You-->vpn software encrypts data-->VPN server--->Internet
But. In order to GET to the VPN server you still have to connect to your ISP servers. Is this where the "tunnel"...
I have had Windows 10 and Solus Linux dual boot on my computer for a year and works very well. But i rarely used Windows 10 and did not like the idea of the Win10 data drive spinning for no reason. Looked into options and i found the Kingwin data switch on Amazon. Works really well. Fits into...
since no one knows the solution. In case someone else runs into a similar problem. The fix was easier than i thought it would be.
I booted into the Windows 10 installer usb. Went to repair / command prompt
typed "bootrec /fixmbr"
shut down and restarted. Windows 10 starts like normal again.
a brief description.
I had Solus Linux on a Seagate Firecuda.
I had Win10 on a Adata SSD boot + Seagate barracuda data
Was set up in Grub for dual boot. all was well
a few weeks ago i got a Kingwin hard drive switch. works well. Now i can push a button to turn off/on drives. (rarely used win10...
Interesting to see the sub pixels of the LCD screens. Which is fascinating in that i have seen broken LCD screens that are taken apart and they just look like a few sheets of plastic. How those sheets of plastic can make the images we see is almost like magic.
I have a decent LED/LCD (Samsung...
V2 rocket to Saturn V to the moon. I think it "funny" that at the same time they were having the Nuremberg trials of ex Nazis for war crimes, The USA made one of the ex Nazis head of NASA (Wernher Von Braun). The V2 program used slave labour that killed thousands (12000)
If the Treaty of...
What i mean is, i am looking for something that upon a restart of the computer, it is refreshed as if it is a new install.Any changes to the computer is wiped clean.
Where i work there are 5 computers that tenants can use. They all are running Linux. There are some tenants that place personal...
I love games with a good story and dialog. My all time favourite games had good story to them. Going all the way back to the Ultima series (Ultima iV) System Shock. Modern games like the PS4 Uncharted series. The Last of Us. Horizon Zero Dawn. PC games like Dying Light and Fallout 4. I am...
well. as the ;-) denotes in my message i was just teasing. For the record i also am a PC gamer and i did have a PS4 that i replaced(with the pro) a few months after the pro came out. I mainly use the ps4 now just for the exclusives. The Uncharted series. The Last of Us remastered. And Horizon...
Since you have bought a new PS4 in 2015 and never used it or even taken it out of the box chances are if you get a PS4/pro it will sit in the box unused until the PS5 comes out in 2019 ;-)
I put Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200mhz in my recent 8700k build. I changed it from what i originally was going to get
and from reading here glad i changed it (was going to get Fury HyperX 2400mhz)
Bad batch of WD blacks? Put together a new system Dec03. WD Black 2T. Drive seen in disk management (win10 pro) as unallocated. Set it up in drive management and it was formatted and assigned a drive letter.
got to installing a game. Half way thru it seemed to stall. Was taking much longer...
well to update.
went to the computer store. Luckily the service desk was not busy so i could walk right up. Told them what concerns i had. They said the "missing" stand off is normal and not to worry.
Same for the strange ATX said it is normal for the Corsair PS i have. I said ok, I guess the...
ok thanks will ask at the computer shop. One other thing i forgot is the ATX 24 pin cable. There is one pin missing on the 24 pin connector and one pin from the 20+8 connector. but the missing pin is not in the same place i searched and looks like modern PS do not have this pin anymore (-5v) so...
picked up the parts for a new build on Dec02.
i7-8700k
MSI GTX1070ti Gaming 8G
MSI Z370 Gaming M5
Corsair RM650i
Corsair Graphite 230T case
Corsair LPX Vengeance 3200MHz 16G
the build went well but ran into some issues i could use some advice on. Going to be taking it back to the store today...
Just finished the game yesterday. This game has bumped The Last of Us from my all time favourite top spot.
Great ending. Tried to wait for all the closing credits to finish but after 10 min cancelled out. Was happy to see it let me back into the game.
i got an option for a "Game +" mode. Was...
I had tried Rufus before but did not work to save the drive. Oddly tho when i logged into Linux to try Gparted again tonight, so i could get the error message i was able to format it as Fat32.
So drive is back working. Never knew about Yumi before, thank you for the tip XavierMace. Will check...
The situation is thus
using USB thumb drives to install different versions of Linux. To reuse the drive for a new
install i have to use windows diskpart to delete and reformat. But after about 4 to 6 times
doing this the drive becomes unusable. Does diskpart kill the drive?
i have one plugged...
Thanks everyone. ya my old school brain is still stuck in the change every 4000km mindset. I check the car over every week before i use it. Mostly just use the car on Sunday morning, scooter on Friday and motorcycle on Saturday and Sunday(afternoon) Each week i check tire pressure and fluid...
so back in July 2016 i got a new Honda Civic EX-HS. No issues with it yet. Every thing i know from previous cars and motorcycles say to change the oil often and frequent. And that on motorcycles first service is at 1k km.
I booked my first service early. Maintenance minder was at 30% and had...
as for dragon glass weapons. If only Jon and crew had an invention like.. maybe a bow and arrow with dragon glass arrow heads. A few quick arrows at the 5 white walker leaders. game over.
and as for the white walker throwing the javelin. (as i saw mentioned in this thread) why did he throw it...
Back when i was (Linux) distro-hopping (trying out different distros) I used a USB drive for the installs.
but to change to a different distro i had to use Win8.1 and diskpart to reclaim/reformat the space.
what happens is after doing this maybe 4 to 6 times the USB drive becomes unusable...
That battle scene was epic. Just love it the expressions. Jaimie hears the noise of the Dothraki... WTF is that? Then they all form up and the look on their faces when they see how many of them are cresting the hill. Ok, np we can do this. then the Dragon appears and the look of oh fak i just...
