  1. no, just corrected myself from asking questions that you already gave answers too! this is rather peculiar, and not much is available to try and point us in the right direction. Have you ensured you installed any new windows updates? once you enabled hyperv, there may be some updates for it.
  2. What OS are you trying to run? does your RAM use spike or does it not change when you attempt to run the VM? are you running the latest version of Hyper V? Have you restarted or gotten the VM to run at least once?
  3. Are you using HWinfo by chance to monitor sensors?
  4. I always start my VM's no matter the operating system with at least 4GB RAM.
  5. Don't lower ram, increase it. this error is typically thrown when the select virtual machine doesn't have enough RAM to run. within settings of the VM, you should be able to also set dynamic memory. this allows the VM to only use what it needs, but request more RAM when needed.
  6. If you're overclocking, then yes. the OC is too high, and either the chip isn't stable at the voltage, or the board cant reliably provide consistent power at what you're setting. As Si1enze asks, I am also curious.
  7. Thats the ticket. Windows can only do so much when you do a fresh install. it is always best to lookup each hardwares product page and download the drivers to get the best support. I always have lagging issues with new server setups.
  8. Make sure you reinstall any and all necessary drivers needed from the respective manufacturers. Not having proper drivers can cause heavy lag and issues as Windows is trying to use generic drivers to try and communicate with the equipment.
  9. And you verified that the password change did not go into effect?
  10. Any issues I have ever experienced when working with clients at work regarding hyperlinks for passwords or similar, it always turned out to be a problem either with the browser needing a quick cleanup/cookie wipe or the website is being wak. I would begin by running a cleaning utility to clear any soggy and stale cookies making a mess of your browsers. Then report back.
  11. Sounds to me like a messed up driver. If you recently updated the laptops display driver, revert to the old driver and see if the problem persists. If you have not recently updated drivers, please do so. If it is heat related, you can monitor using HWMonitor. This will give you temperatures on board and around the laptop to see if it is that. Let us know what you discover.
  12. @Justasking This smells like a power issue. Could be as simple as a loose connection. First thing you can do is pitch the CD drive lol. jk, but follow what @Levent said with removing all but what is absolutely necassary to start. this wayt we can eliminate variables to what may be preventing the system from starting.
  13. Just because it shows power, doesn't means something cannot be broken. If you remove the gpu again, does it post?
  14. Its...a computer. Dudes got some serious addictions for flipping out over something that can easily be replaced. lol
  15. @Xaniene? Unless there is the ability to try other hardware, it sounds to me like something went bad. It happens. Try to stay calm when you explain it to the client. They don't know computers like you do, and when I handle a berating client, I inform them about alternatives and understanding that I am there to help them to the end. I would definitely ask them when the PC was purchased and let them know you would contact ibuypowerpc to make things right. I'm sure you will get to the bottom of this, but without testing with spare hardware, seems the only explanation is that it is a hardware malfunction. I wish I could be more helpful.
  16. @Fuzzleworth1 100% Agreed. I know from working with PC hardware for 8 years that I constantly assume the worst, when in reality it is always the simple things that cause the most stress haha.
  17. Do yourself a solid, and be aware of what ramps up when you enter a game. some investigative work will go a long way. The three most common fans to be super loud is the PSU, GPU and CPU fans. My money goes on either the PSU or the CPU. and considering you use a Hyper 212 Evo on a K series CPU, Id make the assumption you are doing a minor OC. OCing will cause heat which in turn causes noise. If not ,Im still willing to bet if the pc isn't on carpet, then the CPU is to blame. That is you haven't been altering fan speeds within BIOS, which is also a possibility. As far as investigating, take a moment to look at your PC when you enter a game, if you feel comfortable, while the side panel is off. you will be able to tell straight away what fan is causing the problem. you can even reduce the variables by unpluging all case fans temporarily to eliminate confusion. it won't harm the PC by any means. @balanceballs
  18. I admit I quickly read and reread trying to piece everything together on this issue. I would try and keep it simple. and try not to sweat so much about this. Hell, use me as a reference and I would be happy to calm your clients down. If it all started when you took it apart. I would begin with the basics. Remove all but one stick of RAM, remove graphics card, replug into onboard, and remove the CMOS battery. One extra step you need to do with clearing the BIOS is there is a jumper known as the CLRTC. here is a pic on where it is on that motherboard below. after following the below image steps, you should see something. If not, your looking at a bad motherboard or similar hardware failure. That is to say we cross our T's and dot our i's and make sure the input is selected correctly on the monitor. If you do see something, begin slowly re introducing hardware onto the motherboard. each time you insert a ram stick, reboot. when you get the the graphics card, ensure that all power cables are inserted for the GPU. Also ensure you specify the BIOS option for dedicated graphics. Hope this helps somewhat.
  19. Ah, I regretably brain farted... with no display, why would you ? my bad @Xaniene Have you tried removing the graphics card, and rerunning off the onboard? p.s. Don't loan anyone a personal PC. I am a technician by trade, and have an entire stack of PC's that I loan to clients before a replacement is purchased. If it's new enough, maybe thiers is under warranty. Just remind them that the original issue had to do with graphics to begin with. Just like cars, as soon as you start tearing things apart to fix one probblem, many more can start to surface until soon enough it feels like youve just replaced the whole damn car ?
  20. Go into bios and check that the option is set to either automatically detect the output of video, or to select only dedicated graphics. *edit* whats stopping you from getting into bios? Also, inform the client that technology has a wierd way of throwing a cog into anyones wonderful stress free life.
  21. The 1080 should not have any issues like this. GPU health is based on the loss of performance and/or artifacting. The Fx 8150 was released way back in October 2011. All signs point to bottlenecking. Plus your on AM3. its about time you considered upgrading to AM4. I would personally just skip am3+ altogether considering you have a 1080.
  22. Not really, but I recocommend following a how to as it will require some additional understanding of whats going on. Here is a guide on overclok3d: https://www.overclock3d.net/news/memory/how_to_manually_set_up_your_ram_speed_timings_and_voltage/1 and another good read right here on linustechtips forums:
  23. Is it only league of legends? Have you made the correct port forwarding rules for QOS of LOL? @Wufflez I agree.
  24. Have you ensured the latest BIOS version is flashed on the Motherboard? https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/Z370P-D3-rev-10#support-dl-bios @a10r7xx
