Hi guys,

Basically I wanted to address why Linus raves so much about the Razerblade 14". He loves it so much that he even gave it his coveted editors choice award. Upon researching more about it on the internet though I found that it has received a lot of criticism. Do you agree with linus? or do you think the Razerblade 14" is a pile of garbage? If you are with one or the other I would like to hear your opinions on the laptop and as to why you think it is good or bad.

Thanks!!

If I were to win I would choose the new razer blade 14" because of its slim form factor and sleek design while not sacrificing anything in terms of performance. Being a new college student without a labtop winning this would be a miracle and help me a lot with my work flow and productivity seeing as I am currently depending on school computers.

Sometimes you may get the lines. I've had two different shades of black before that looked like flannel before.

ahhh i see. Thank you for all the help it is really appreciated ^^. ill mark this as solved and if it happens again ill make a different post

If it continues then RMA the GPU.

 

Funny colors with horizontal and/or vertical lines/colors it's usually the GPU. Ram and CPU overclocking usually just cause instability and crashing sometimes with BSOD with 07 etc

okay sounds good. i wasnt getting any horizontal or vertical lines my screens just turned solid colors. I haven't overclocked anything yet because of this problem so I should be good on the bsod department

Completely remove your GPU drivers. Make sure that all of your motherboard, Sata, and LAN drivers are up to date and off of the manufacturers website. Then do a clean install of GPU drivers.

okay i successfully updated everything. hopefully everything will work well from here on out. is there anything else i should check for?

Did it go through 2 full passes on the resolution your monitor supports?

yes.. when the problem usually happens I'm usually just browsing the internet or watching youtube videos. I dont think it has ever happened during gameplay. i also sometimes get nvidia driver stopped responding and has recovered from time to time but when i check my drivers they are up to date

Watch temps as you go as well.

 

Make sure you are testing at stock clocks for both the core and memory.

So the gpu temp was at about 74-75 and cpu max out at around 50

The colors point to the GPU. Check the temps, if they are find try testing the GPU and see if it makes it through 2 passes of Valley.

I'll try that right now and get back to you

I'd say either RAM or GPU issue.

Could you explain to me how this would be a RAM issue? sorry I don't know that much

I'd say either RAM or GPU issue.

both are reused from a previous build of mine. Do you have any ideas how i could trouble shoot this?

So i recently build my computer about a month ago and I have run into a recurring problem. After powering on my computer and using it for a varied amount of time (browsing the internet, playing league of legends) both monitors turn different colors (red, pink, purple, blue) then become unresponsive. not bsod. my computer specs are as follows.

intel i7 4790k
gtx 770
corsair hx750
corsair vengence ram 16gb ddr3 1600
samsung 128 evo ssd
wd 2tb green drive
asus maximus impact VII
noctua NH-D14

HWMonitor says my cpu is running 32-33 degrees and my gpu 29 degrees celcius. Any help would be greatly appreciated. this has been a problem since the computer was build but has been occuring more and more often

would be cool to have a media pc

I would probably use it to build a computer as i have all the parts for a intel based build but am waiting for a reasonable price on a cpu

i love the ZOTAC AMP the cooler looks amazing

 I am a long time fan and supporters of linus tech tips, I love you work and hope that your channels keep growing over the years.

My favorite thing about the HTC M8 is the extended battery life, the huge screen, and its amazing looks

Did he say it in the latest live stream?

in one of the last two livestreams he said he was excited to get his htc one back and was going to install cyanogen mod on it.

hopefully he makes a video on it :]

I mean the Cyanogen mod app in the app store.  Its mainly rooting im nervous about.  Unless there is a Telecom NZ HTC One Rooting procedure I find I'm to afraid to root without knowing its the EXACT model I have. 

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/CyanogenMod_Installer this is the list of phone current supported by the installer 

I've always wanted to use Cyanogen mod but have always been to nervous. 

 

To bad the app is gone, unless theres an apk somewhere 

http://www.cyanogenmod.org/ this is the installer, they have instruction on how to get the app... on the wiki it says you dont have to have your device unlocked or rooted it will do it for you

Hoped this helped

this is who I used

you can use this guide to essentially install any custom ROM you want with this guide

cyanogen also has their own cyanogen installer which you can also use and will be much easier, all you have to do is root first

here's the guide I used to root the phone

i was wondering do i have to root my device doesn't the installer do it for me?

I remember that last live stream Linus said he was gonna install Cyanogen Mod on his Htc One. Do you guys think he will make a video on how to install it? if not do you guys no any good tutorials i could follow?

A 2gb block should be fine for a 4gb card, just make sure you put the thermal pad over the extra 2gb of ram as well

 

thank you! :D

Different blocks don't contribute too much to overall performance, as long as it fits your card and isn't made from aluminum, just get whatever looks cool to you

 

 

But, http://www.coolingconfigurator.com/

should tell you compatible blocks

i tried that website but the gigabyte gtx 770 4mb isnt there

Hey i just got this : http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4647#ov

and i was wondering if anyone knows a good waterblock for it

Thanks for the give away!
