I somehow solved it myself! I tried switching between DP 1.2 to DP 1.1, and then back. Fixed it for some reason.

I drew 3 lines in photoshop, then moving them horizontally one pixel at a time. As you can see, the colors are all wonky, flashing in and out. I've tried fiddling with the scaling options, monitor settings, and I've reset the nVidia-settings, nothing has fixed it. Anyone have any idea of what could be wrong? It's a pretty recent issue, and very distracting. 20190227_133006.mp4

Oh right, I kinda forgot to mention that I'm building the case myself, so it's not that I've not found a case with a compatible PSU. I suppose I could go with a SFX, although it wouldn't really reach the goals I've set for myself. I've seen that both Silverstone and beQuiet have made TFX PSU's. Seasonic have made a Flex-ATX @ 350W. Again, I'm building the case myself, and I feel like I'm up for a couple trade-offs in exchange for the 'compact-ness'. My main question is in regards to if the 350w would be enough, since I'm not too interested in overclocking.

Hey! I'm planning on building a SFF PC soon and my biggest struggle so far is finding the right PSU. I'm looking for a TFX or Flex-ATX and from my research, it's impossible to find some over 350w and 300w respectively (that isn't from some sketchy brand on ebay or outside the EU). MSI's PSU calculator says I'll be good with 300w, meanwhile outervision's recommends a li'l above 400w. Since I don't plan on adding another GPU or anything (since it's a small build), do you think I'll be good with 300w? Or should I go with a safer option, 350w TFX? Or is it all too weak and I'd need to save up some more to get a fancy custom built one (Which will never happen because I'm cheap af)? The specs are: Ryzen 5 2600 GTX 1070 One M.2 One HDD 7.2k rpm M-ITX board 2 sticks of DDR4 16G (2 since I may upgrade this in the future) And a few USB dongs because I have a bunch of things to connect Thanks in advance!

Hello! I have an old HDD I'm in the mids of trying to recover. The drive in question is a HGST TS5SAF100, 1TB 5400 rpm. When booting from the drive, it gets stuck on the windows logo, with the reader head making the same series of ticks, over and over. When connecting it while in Windows it gets detected in Device Manager, but not in Drive Manager, so I'm pretty sure that the partitions have gone corrupt. But I can't be completely sure. HGST has a diagnostic/repair tool, the problem is however, that any diagnostic program I try crashes once I plug the in HDD. Even things like mounting .iso files in Windows stops working whenever the drive is plugged in. So since I can't use any recovery/diagnostic tools, what should I do? I've heard linux is more forgiving to crappy partitions, but I'd like to see if anything else works before trying that. Hope anyone can help!

There are probably a million topics like this, but they are often just "for gaming". I want to know which resolution is best for other stuff as well (editing photos, videos, reading a bunch, doing computer stuff, etc.). Right now I have one 1080p 22" and an ancient secondary display I use to watch videos and such, this setup sucks. Anyhow, I'm a cheap-ass (a.k.a. student), my budget is between 300-400 dollars, preferably not more. I would like a 1440p screen because they are cheaper, and most look really sleek, especially the Lenovo L24q, but I don't think it's enough screen real-estate to both have a youtube video running while doing something like photoshop (sure it would work, but not with scaling). So, my problem with 4k screens is that many cheaper models have problems like light-bleed and dead/stuck pixel (which would be expected) not to mention that most are bloody ugly. I can't seem to find a bezel-less model either. I don't think I'd like one that's smaller than around 25" since I don't want to use 200% scaling, then upgrading to 4k for the extra screen space would be unnecessary. I have a GTX 1070, and I still want to be able to game, but I've heard you can still push 60fps with medium setting on 4k, even on lower-end cards, so I don't think that will be a problem for me (worst case I'd have to turn down the resolution O_o) My perfect display would be a 4k display at 27 inches for around $350 (or cheaper) with relatively thin bezels. I know I'm kinda a choosing beggar, but based on the info I've given you, what do you think I should do?

SOLVED IT! Apparently it was my network driver filling up the non-paged pool. If you have the same problem, just follow this: https://bluebluewave.wordpress.com/2014/02/27/memory-leak-in-windows-8-1-with-killer-e2200-and-windows-network-data-usage-monitoring/ -

A couple big images, but according to Task Manager it's not more than 70MB (too little don't ya think?) and I have 5 chrome tabs open -

Yep, used KMS frostrose "for educational reasons" and Windows updates as usual. -

It's just having to go through the trouble of reinstalling everything that scares me. -

Bollocks I've reinstalled windows several times last year (once to a menacing virus) and I fear to go through that trouble again. But I'll do a scan and update ya'll if it works in case someone stumbles across a simalar problem in the future. -

Yea, there was like 10 tasks running at about 1-10MB each. Still not nearly enough. The Chrome tabs used the most at around 100MB times 6. Still not nearly enough -
How do you do fellow kids? I have 16GB of RAM located inside of my personal computer. Now the problem is that after an hour or two the computer gets slow, so I check Task Manager and would you know; 95% of my RAM is gobbled up. The only programs I use right now (still, 95% full) is Photoshop, Paint tool SAI, and chrome, with nVidia experience and steam in the background together with a few other programs running aswell. With some quick math in task manager I've calculated that the programs running amount to around 5-7 GB of RAM, not 15. Does anyone know what could be going on?
