Well the thing is I've been on iOS every since the first iPhone and I've been wanting to expand my knowledge on Android. So what I like about the G3 is obviously the screen size (thanks 4s...) and the back buttons, very easy to reach and comfortable.

I have never taken my PC to a repair shop. However, I do know people that taken their PC to a repair shop, such as Geek Squad. And OMG, Geek Squad employes must be the most uneducated  people in the business.  Their solution to everything is "We need to reinstall windows and format the hard drive". lmao.

 

I think they need to come up with a test, to test the people that try to get jobs at Geek Squad. And they need to make the test very hard for the people that know nothing about computers. Because the people that know computers will pass it with no problem at all. 

 

I think they take like a 2 hour training course and then they have the Job.

 

Knowing computers for the most part, cannot be trained or taught (Unless you have some type of degree in IT). That knowledge must be gained through hands on experience.

My friend took his laptop there once to see if it was his screen or his gpu that was faulty, so he asked them to test it by hooking it up to an external monitor, they wanted $ 15 to just do that. Yeah, Geek Squad is the EA of the PC repair world. 

I work at a computer refurb company and I see PC's on a daily bases that are just crammed with dust and such, but the worst by far was an old Alienware PC. I was kind of excited to see what sort of nostalgia there was, until I opened it up... The guy who owned this PC seemed to be a chain smoker. I mean it wasn't even dust anymore, it transformed into some sort of sludge, it was absolutely disgusting. Anyways, that's the worst I've encountered so far. I hope it doesn't get worse than that. D:

What about a thumbs up EA, t-shirt? Permitted you are allowed to put EA on there. 

I know this is quite late, but a quick google for q code 66 brought me here. I have the same issue and the way I figured out how to be able to restart is resetting the CMOS with the button on the MB. But it seems that AI suite is causing the issue. Every time I reset the CMOS all my fan profiles are back to default. I set up my own profile and the as soon as I set them, I go from q code AA to q code 66. 

Have you had any luck on fixing this issue? 

What would be my command line? 
I know make it a .bat and all that, but what would be my exact command?

Are my inputs correct? 

This is what I get from the console:



I am running 2x MSI TF 2GB/OC GTX 770 editions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.  

Update: I am getting HTTP request failed: Empty reply from server. 
Any idea what that means? 

*bump*

Try windows update they should have directx updates

Lol, I've already tried all the drivers. 

Try reinstalling the sli bridge could be that its not installed all the way

I've tried that, besides I don't think an SLI bridge could be causing a DirectX issue. 

 Remove and install drivers using this method http://www.overclock.net/t/1150443/how-to-remove-your-nvidia-gpu-drivers.

 

Maybe even revert to older drivers like 331.82 (I'm having no issues with these).

I've already done that. I used drivesweeper, it didn't hep. 

Are you getting that error at stock clocks?

Stock as in I haven't changed anything, yes. 

have you over clocked?

Overclocked my CPU, no. My GPU's come overclocked out of the box. 

Try each card individually to see if you can narrow it down to one of them.

Each card works fine on it's own. 

Try reinstalling drivers

I've done a clean install of the drivers, tested both beta and official drivers and nothing has worked so far.

I keep having issues with SLI on my two GPU's, I thought maybe someone here has a solution. 



This is the error I keep receiving, I was trying to launch BF4 Test Range, I also tried it on 3D Mark and it just made my system hang.

Oh its your line... oh its your modem, router... 

Haha, exactly. That's the sort of stuff you'll get from them. It's probably hidden away in the terms and conditions about throttling you, and if it isn't, there is no way to prove it fully. They'l always have an excuse, until fiber to home becomes a thing. 

Good luck but I doubt you'll get anything out of them. It's very hush hush talk. 

What isp do you have?

I am on Comcast / Xfinity. 

I have the exact thing happen to me and I've also proven it. Couldn't load a Youtube video so I decided to to try my VPN. After I connected I had no issue with buffering. They only start throttling me after about 7 videos. I come home from work and watch a bunch of videos one after another. Around the 7th it starts doing that. Mind you I have 50+ down, 10+ up. 

They throttle us because they want to not support internet TV as much as possible. This is exactly why we have moved away from Cable and onto Netflix/Hulu/Torrents. VPNs are great things.

I prefer the reviews over the unboxings, most things have the same things in the box anyways. Daily news show!? Ah man I can't wait!

Haha. Don't want my house to burn down! ;P
Thanks a lot for the help, I really appreciate it. 

Ok, so I just picked up a UPS for $5 at a garage sale in my area. The thing looks in good condition and what not, all that it needs is a replacement battery. So the replacement battery for this is lead acid, and my question is, can the current charging circuit handle it if I get a lithium ion battery? 

Please move this thread if it isn't in the correct sub forum, I wasn't sure where to post it.

I think the merch would be super cool. I'd be glad to help out where I can.

I'm assuming you don't want to route wires through your walls, hence the wireless?

Yeah I'd prefer wireless but it seems there isn't a product that allows that just quite yet. Seems I'll have to do a wired setup. I'll run the idea past them and see what they think about it.
