laxer got a reaction from FlufflesMcBob in the display drivers have stopped working and has recovered
The display drivers crashing is probably only somewhat related.
As @TDaytona645 said it is likely your PSU. Even the best 500W powersupply would barely support that system under load.

laxer got a reaction from HEU7Hwhu7 in Any one know how to remove the extension like .HTML?
You have to nest it correctly
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><configuration><system.webServer><rewrite> <rules> <rule name="html rewrite"> <!--Removes the .html extension for all pages.--> <match url="(.*)" /> <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll"> <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" /> <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" /> </conditions> <action type="Rewrite" url="{R:1}.html" /> </rule> </rules></rewrite></system.webServer></configuration> I think that is pretty close to correct, I am at work and cannot test it.

For IIS you typically set it up in the web.config file (rewrite)
For apache you can set it up in the .htaccess file (mod rewrite)

Cheers.

Edit, unless you are talking about your root page(index.html, Default.html, etc) in which case you can just leave it out of the link

It's actually extremely good in an HTPC. It can handle 4K video output without lagging and can decode Steam IHS fast enough for 1080p 60fps. And it's obviously very quiet because its heat output is very low.

laxer got a reaction from Captain Matt in PCIE Gen 2 versus PCIE Gen 3 in the context of Mid-budget builds
I think $200 is a solid line for just the processor.
For a point of reference, Prior to my 4770k I had a 1100T which I got for $220 at the time.

laxer got a reaction from Captain Matt in PCIE Gen 2 versus PCIE Gen 3 in the context of Mid-budget builds
To jump in, I completely agree with his points.
IPC is instructions per clock cycle. Which Intel absolutely destroys AMD on. (In other words, you can do way more per clock cycle on an Intel chip than AMD)
Note: A processors clock speed is in cycles per second.

I will let him answer the question about single core performance as it is a can of worms I do not want to open.

laxer reacted to Briggsy in PCIE Gen 2 versus PCIE Gen 3 in the context of Mid-budget builds
Its an old argument. AMD Bulldozer/Piledriver CPU's have horrible IPC for gaming and for some single threaded tasks. The AMD cores are packed together in two's, inside a module with shared resources and shared FPU.
To boil it down to a simple concept:
An Intel core is almost twice as powerful as an AMD bulldozer core. If you have an Intel Core with hyper threading, you can utilize 100% of a core to a single thread, or split the core between 2 threads at any ratio (doesn't have to be 50/50, it can be 25/75 or 1/99).
An AMD Bulldozer Module contains 2 cores with shared resources, and can handle 2 threads at once. You cannot utilize 100% of the module to a single thread, and with 2 threads its a 50/50 split. If one core is running a really demanding task while the other core is doing light work, you are not utilizing the full potential of the Module.
This is why Intel is currently better for high end builds. For budget builds, you won't see a lot of gain by going intel. The difference between PCI-E 2.0 and 3.0 has nothing to do with the overall performance. In fact, there isn't much of a difference with most graphic cards by jumping to PCI-E 3.0.
*edit* as a side note my brother is running a gtx 760 SC with a quad core FX cpu, and I've seen little difference in performance on his PC compared to when I had the 760 paired with a locked sandy bridge i5.

laxer got a reaction from TheSLSAMG in PCIE Gen 2 versus PCIE Gen 3 in the context of Mid-budget builds
In general,
AMD based platforms are better for entry level gaming machines due to the lower cost to performance ratio.
In regards to PCI gen 2 vs 3, gen 3 supports roughly 2 times the throughput but it shouldn't really impact any single card system.
IMO if you're spending more than $750 on a desktop your better off going with Intel regardless of what your use case is.

laxer got a reaction from incarnate in Program Froze when updating BIOS?
About now is when you are really happy you bought a board with dual bios.
I would let it sit for another 5 minutes or so then reset it, if it doesn't boot flip the physical switch on the motherboard let it boot and flip it back and try flashing again.

laxer got a reaction from GrimNeo in 16Gbs of RAM question.
The timings all have to be the same most of the time. (motherboard dependent with only the flagships/newer supporting multiple timings)
With that said, CL7 ram is pretty rare these days as most favor speed over tight timings.
I would either buy a cl9 set and go missmatched. (your current ram will run slightly slower)
Or I would buy a 16gb kit and sell your old ram.

laxer reacted to Art Vandelay in Do compilers combine math operations?
It's probably not going to be seconds
2^32 divisions in a loop took about 13.5 seconds and 2^32 multiplications took about 1 second. I tested it using assembly and subtracted the base loop run time to calculate those.
For even a large project, the difference it going to be on the scale of microseconds.

laxer got a reaction from ACoffeeGuy in Backing up games
The ones I am playing are on my SSDs the others are on mechanical drives.
Steam supports multiple drives and the saves are always stored in the same spot so there is nothing to worry about.
Simple migrate the unused games over assuming you have space for them elsewhere.

laxer got a reaction from dizmo in is an SSD worth it or is it better to use an cheaper HDD
Do you need it? - No
Is it worth every penny? - Yes
I would pick up a cheap 120/250 SSD you won't regret it.
Edit: Assuming you're using it for speed. If your using it for backups or a big data house traditional HDDs are still recommended.

laxer got a reaction from leelaa14 in Other files on usb along with bootable windows?
Yes no big deal
Make it a bootable usb then add the files on.
As long as you don't overwrite anything it shouldn't cause issues.

laxer got a reaction from zonahbear in Getting kicked off when microwave runs
As others have said the issue is interference from the microwave.
Few options you have:
Buy a new router that supports 5Ghz bands which are less likely to be interfered with. Relocate your current router to somewhere with less interference. You could move the microwave as well but I doubt your mother would let you get away with it First one is your best bet, it can be easily solved with a ~$20 router.

laxer reacted to Skrizzles in What happens when an overvoltage happens
Don't be afraid to spend money on a decent surge protector if you live in an area that's prone to lightning strikes or power surges. The $10 cheapos will take one hit and die. Not only that, but sometimes they fail to stop surges, and sometimes they catch fire. I have had many customers come back to me with a melted piece of plastic that somebody else sold them. Decent ones won't catch fire, and can be reset over and over again. Sure, they cost more- but you only have to buy it once.

Instead of storing the values of the highest and lowest averages, store the indices of the students with the highest and lowest averages. Then you can look up their info in array "p".

laxer got a reaction from BananaFalcon in Deathadder Chroma
I've used a deathadder since the original came out in 2007.
That one died and I replaced it with the 2010 version, when the chroma came out I replaced the 2010 version.
Chroma is textured differently(don't like it as much) but, with a much better sensor other than that its like all the other deathadders.
Great mouse with no thrills.
The only alternative I would consider is the Logitech G502
