  1. I know my GPU can't run games anymore and just crashes the screen it's displaying on but the PC is generally fine for regular use, watching shows, ect. Got to my PC 10 minutes ago and started a 5 second boot loop and wouldn't even get anywhere close to BIOS. Took out my GPU and it booted fine on integrated graphics but I'm not sure if the problem was the GPU or the BIOS being reset. Do GPU's failing generally cause boot loops or is it usually something dealing with the PSU/motherboard?
  2. The monitor is a cheap LG 25 inch ultrawide with only 2 hdmi ports and motherboard came out in 2014 so it only has an hdmi dvi and vga
  3. Can't really spend more than $100 and just looking for something to support my 21:9 monitor. From what I can tell the integrated graphics (intel 4600) on the 4790k cpu can't support my 21:9 (2560x1080) monitor over hdmi (I've tried it and it only displays on my second 1080p monitor) So I just need the bare bones to power my monitor.
  4. Thanks man, I appreciate the reply. I'm just glad I'm able to pin down what's causing it.
  5. I built the PC in 2016. It's a Rosewill 750watt Photon. A week or so ago I tried to RMA the one I have, they sent me an 850watt out of warranty which was cool, but it was obviously a refurb unit with how it was packed and it didn't work. I was thinking the problem is maybe PSU related too.
  6. Specs z97 gaming 5 motherboard gtx 970 strix i7-4790k 750watt PSU 16gb hyperx 1866 ram Every time I run any game or a benchmark like heaven my main PC screen crashes to black screen as in the monitor loses the GPU's signal. I check my reliability history and it's the same error code every time Problem Event Name: LiveKernelEvent Code: 141 Parameter 1: ffffcf0c3d5d3050 Parameter 2: fffff8033e28372c Parameter 3: 0 Parameter 4: 4 OS version: 10_0_19041 Service Pack: 0_0 Product: 768_1 OS Version: 10.0.19041.2.0.0.768.101 Locale ID: 1033 According to a google of the even code it seems to be GPU related but why the problem not persist the same way no matter which motherboard slot I have it in. I've tried uninstalling the GPU drivers and re-installing the latest ones, didn't help. I've tried different motherboard slots and that only results in worse results as in the crashing happens quicker in top PCIE slot and bottom PCIE slot. The middle slot is where my GPU is currently seated and it still crashes it just seems to take longer to do so. The PC doesn't crash at all outside of gaming/heavy loads, I've also tried rolling back the clock on the GPU itself to see if it's factory overclock was the problem and the crashing persists. PS: my second monitor is hooked up to my motherboard and using the integrated graphics and while the screen does crash when the event occurs, I'm able to regain control of my PC on the second monitor only through using task manager to force close the program that made it crash.
  7. Nvidia GTX 970 Let me start off by saying this, it started do this on cyberpunk 2077, then I updated to the Game Ready drivers that nvidia released now it's crashed on other games the same way (it wasn't doing it before). Is there anyway to tell the difference between the driver doing or the hardware itself failing? My reliability check keeps telling me the problem is hardware oriented, and everytime It happens the display on my monitor goes black and windows itself locks up.
  8. Just installed new HDD, my SSD hasn't failed, but I want to make sure I have all my data if it does. So if I install windows on a new SSD will it recognize the drives and keep my data stored on them?
  9. I doubt I could get away with just throwing a GPU like that in my pc as it stands without bottlenecking somewhere, whether it be the CPU or my RAM.

  10. Yeah. I know. I've tried to fix it on mobile but when I have the post editor open it won't let me highlight text to hyperlink. I only have select all snd paste options, when i chose select all it doesnt let me shrink the size of the highlighted text.
  11. Yeah, exactly what I thought. One user on the Ann forums compared it to sueing a landlord because the tenants are doing something illegal and that's pretty much what we have here.
  12. "The lawsuit alleges that Cloudflare is complicit in copyright infringement by offering its service to manga piracy sites. Takeshobo and the manga creator are seeking damages, and Takeshobo is also seeking the removal of all its manga data temporarily stored on Cloudflare's servers." Original Article on Anime News Network and sourced from Kyodo Although what the creator may say is true, I don't think this is going to go anywhere in the end. Although the Japanese take piracy (especially of manga) very seriously, they're fighting a battle that's hard win in this case.
  13. Source: https://torrentfreak.com/openload-and-others-taken-down-by-anti-piracy-alliance-ace-191031/ Summery: Due to the heavy amount of pirated content being distributed under the Openload.co domain they have shut down their service along with Streamcherry My Opinion: The fact that these conglomerate of companies are still trying to bring down piracy like this is a wasted effort. As soon as you shut one down another pops up. A lot of the time these sources give attention to material that otherwise wouldn't be noticed. I'm referring to the fact that these two sources were a big part of anime distribution sites that I frequent and seeing them go down like this isn't exactly making me happy. For the case of anime you are stuck on legal sites like crunchyroll or funimation which don't have catalogues near as big as 3rd party hosting sites. So in the instance (I'll be it slim) that they can't find hosts for videos anymore you're stuck just on what the legal sites want to license, So because of the entertainment I consume I hope that will see new hosting sites pop up to take their place. I don't want to start a debate about whether you think sharing files is legal or illegal I'm just saying I don't want to lose more hosts for content I enjoy, ever driving everyone to go to legal subscription based sites to consume media. Lastly fact that ACE has known-fully taken this as a win in their book is frightening that they're starting to crackdown on it but realistically with how many sites pop up the way they do I don't imagine much can change so quick. After thoughts: If someone in the comments can elaborate how this ACE has any type of jurisdiction over servers hosted in all kinds of countries that would be great because I don't get how the pecking order works for something like this and how they can force them to shut down.
  14. Really looking into getting a second monitor as of late and I don't plan on gaming on the 4k because I only have a 970 but I'm looking for something with good contrast for enjoying media, you can see my picture you know what kind. I currently have an IPS but compared to a TV I have compared it to the colors seemed washed out so looking for something with a better contrast ratio if possible.
  15. Every time I start my PC I'll open firefox and my home page will attempt to load then just timeout giving me a server not found error. Windows says I'm connect to the internet in network settings. I've already contacted my ISP and they assured me by resetting my connection that it wasn't my internet itself. Wondering why it's taking my PC so long to connect. I have the correct ethernet adapter enabled for my motherboard and I'm not using a VPN or anything.
  16. You know by chance how / if there's a way to set foobar to open in a mini player on desktop? Only plan on using it for one station so a mini player would be neat.
  17. I have my own internet radio station I like to enjoy listening to and was looking for a good player that will let the station link I have (or .m3u files) play in the background of windows 10.
  18. Fixed by doing basically this. Don't know why those BIOS settings got changed in the first place.
  19. Msi gaming 5 motherboard. Normally every time I boot up my PC I'll see the msi logo where I can opt to hit delete to enter bios or f11 for boot menu, and lately my pc has been booting straight to windows login. Now whenever I try and enter BIOS or Boot menu I'm just getting code A9 everytime and the display won't output anything. I've reset CMOS, updated GPU drivers, shut it fully down and tried again but still nothing.
  20. Bunch of errors popping up in the event log on my routers page. Usually I just ignore them, but the fact that multiple phones on my network keep getting disconnected from the wifi on an almost daily basis now and unplugging it and plugging it back in always fixes these issues temporarily but ever since I bought my own router and stopped usinug the one my ISP gave me I have been having issues like this. Sometimes daily but most of the time it's 2-3 times per week. I bought it back in january 2017 and it has been working fine as far as my PC wired connection goes. It's just the wifi drops a lot. It's only a single band router so I only have the 2.4 channel. Do I need a new router or are these errors fixable through tampering with the settings if the errors are even related to the wifi dropping..Any help/feedback is appreciated.
  21. Not using pihole. Just ublock origin at the moment. It's so weird, it definitely has to be a connection thing because chrome did the same thing to a lesser degree. It would load pages without ublock and then once i refreshed ublock would enable almost like it's working too quickly
  22. I have 4 pages auto load on a default open of Firefox. They're not pages that have a ever been a problem loading as far as chrome upon startup, but it's not only that. Even if I switch to singular page upon startup Firefox still has problems connecting to the site. For example I'll go to speed test to test my speed assuming my google search worked and it won't be able to find the server or pages won't connect. I have had the "problem" of browser loading so quick that my PC hasn't connected to Ethernet port yet so it could be that but even when pages somewhat load and don't the rest kind of thing is what confuses me. I upped the amount of tasks Firefox can designate while allowing it to use more memory so maybe that will work but it seems more like an internet connection problem than Firefox itself. After about 1 or 2 minutes everything will load as quick as ever, so it always ends of fine just didn't know experienced this "issue" assuming my pc is booting too quickly to fully connect to the internet. I have latest mobo Ethernet drivers and am using cloud-flare dns 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 set directly into my router.
  23. I already reset boot priorities in bios to fix... I spend 20 minutes scratching my head thinking, ask the question on the forum then 30 sec later my brain starts working.
  24. I recently installed ubuntu on the other half of my ssd as a backup OS but 90% of the time I'll use windows so I want to know how to get rid of the grub menu and re-apply it if necessary. I installed EasyBCD and all it's telling me is that my default boot is windows 10 (which it's not, if i let grub timeout it boots ubuntu). How do I change to default boot windows and get grub back if I want to?
