Check out the `System.Timers.Timer` documentation on MSDN, specifically the `Elapsed` callback. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.timers.timer.elapsed(v=vs.110).aspx private void resetScore(object sender, ElapsedEventArgs e) { // blah } You don't ever call this method yourself, setting `Enabled` to true on the timer calls it every second for you

Okay, sorry for the slight necro but I've been looking into this recently. There does exist firmware you can load on a Teensy++ 2.0, and I know it's possible with an ATmega32U4. I'll do some more digging, maybe buy a couple boards and see what happens

gib pls I'm running an R9 380X that I would love to pass down to a friend still running a 6850, so a next generation card would be nice.

Replaced GPU and CPU and now nothing works
Xelvanox replied to Commandershell's topic in Troubleshooting
I know it's a pain but I would swap out for the old CPU and see if you can boot into BIOS. The other components shouldn't cause peripherals to malfunction like that. -
Status report: Paper clip test ran for 10 minutes straight before I pulled the power, if it's the problem piece the issue is intermittent. My best guess is the motherboard, but I'm at a loss for any way to confirm this.

Thanks for the quick response, I'll try testing it tomorrow.

Sorry if this has been posted before, it's actually difficult to find anyone with this specific problem. I have a desktop just built a few months ago that hadn't had any noticeable problems. The other day, it turned off without warning, no BSOD or anything. My case light and fans came on after a few seconds, but there was no power or signal to my peripherals or monitor. This occurred even after power cycling several times, and the computer refused to boot for about five minutes. Afterward, the same thing happened a few hours later, and again the next day. I ran MSI afterburner to log the CPU and GPU temperatures before the second crash, and there was no overheating. Memtest 86 didn't show any RAM issues. At this point, I assumed the power supply was overheating, but the PSU fan was running and there was no dust or physical airflow blocking. I feel like the issue is a broken power supply, but before I go spend anything else I wanted to see if anyone else has had this issue, and potentially a solution. Thanks in advance.

Thanks to all who replied, I'll check out my options but so far I'm really enjoying MonoGame

Name: My computer (I'm not good at naming things) CPU: i5-6500 GPU: XFX Radeon R9 380X RAM: 2x8 GB DDR4 Score: Capable (4.9 avg. fidelity)

Does anyone have experience with MonoGame or XNA? Is it something I should try out, or should I pass for a more popular option? For reference, I primarily develop in C#, and I've put in less than 20 hours programming anything game-like.

Everyone, even non power users, should invest in an SSD. The reduced startup time is worth the investment for me personally, but overall system responsiveness makes such a large difference that anyone with a computer should get one. Also, I would like the SSD to give to my roommate, who is still dealing with a hard drive.

I would love to have the Kiro! Not because I'm left handed, but because it just looks sleeker

If you want to jump right in and make something quickly, learn web development. You can throw together interactive content with JavaScript, HTML5 and CSS pretty well these days. I can definitely understand jumping right in and trying to make a product. It's really motivating when you can get some results. However, I would recommend C++ or Java if you have the dedication to stick with it. C++, Java, C#, JavaScript, and probably some other languages are all based on C syntax, so once you get a grasp on the syntax it's a lot easier to write in anything you need to. With either C++ or Java, you'll be able to learn object oriented concepts as well as the basics to actually making your idea a reality. However, it's a big learning curve. You'll be able to get into graphics much quicker in Java, since AWT and Swing, graphics libraries, are built into the standard edition of the JDK. C++ has no default graphics libraries, you have to find your own. In addition, you can embed java applets into webpages, giving the same accessability as if you had developed it in HTML5 in the first place. tl;dr web dev for speed, java or c++ recommended though.

I would like to give my mom a zenwatch 2 this year because she's expressed interest in smartwatches, but has no idea where to start. http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-ZenWatch-Android-Wear-Smartwatch/dp/B0163HRGLY/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1449736583&sr=8-5&keywords=asus+zenwatch+2

I like your style. Thanks for the responses, guys. I'll consider previous generation i5's as well, but $100+ extra is no small sum. I''ll probably end up delaying my build for a few weeks to save up for an Intel chip, but you've all given tons of insight already.
