GSTARR

I downloaded FaceIt recently to play counterstrike. In order to use FaceIt's AntiCheat system you have to enable secure boot. Ever since I did that, my computer cannot wake up from sleep properly and must be forcibly shut down and restarted. The computer's power button stops blinking and stays lit, indicating it's out of sleep, but the screen doesn't turn on and doesn't appear to be getting any signal. Any ideas on what to check, or previous experience with secure boot issues? Maybe I configured something wrong (I didn't configure anything, I just enabled secure boot - maybe that's the issue?) Windows 10 64bit AMD 5600x3D, B550 plus wifi II, Geforce 4070, Corsiar HX1000 psu All mentioned software is kept on the main m.2 drive

Ah I lied, I have a 100-300 and a 28-80 The 100 - 300 is 4.5/6.7 up to 32. So not fast - but I don't expect that to be an issue when pointing up into the bright sky?

It's the only option besides my phone lol But yes, I would imagine it would be much easier, and cheaper, to get the instant feedback from a digital camera. My mother has an old Nikon Coolpix 500d (or p?) that she doesn't use, I asked about it to see if I could add that to my collection. But she's in Texas, and I'm in Delaware so we'll see how fast that happens lmao. If that's available, that is what I would use instead for this airshow

I have a 28(?) - 300mm lens. So far I've seen 200-400+ recommended, I think I'll be able to squeak by...

Hello, I'm going to an airshow on memorial day/weekend - I am a beginner with a film camera, I know the photos wont be great but still curious about specific suggestions for this type of photography. I've seen two trains of thought - fast shutter speed (1/1000 for me) with whatever aperture is required for exposure or attempting to pan with the airplane with 1/60 - 1/250. My only confusion here is whether 1/1000 would be fast enough to capture a few good photos before attempting to pan the rest, or if even at 1/1000 I'm going to have to pan for everything but the older P-51 they'll have flying. I'm also just looking for other suggestions as well if there's anything specific about this you can think of. I'm going to bring Ektar 100, Kodak Gold 200, and Portra 400 film and will decide the day of what I need to use.

The 4 things that immediately stand out to me, in order of my priorities (Gaming) is: 1) A new GPU (being sure to take into account wattage, I think the recommendation is <80% of the rated wattage of the PSU?) 2) A 2tb SSD for games - COD alone wipes out his SSD 3) A new cooler for his CPU 4) A new set of matching DDR4 You also mentioned a wifi card - perhaps during vacation we go in the attic, saw a hole in the wall and drop an ethernet line in? Would significantly improve the experience. I see a bunch of 4070s on ebay for ~500$, and a quick check on the windforce edition with your brother's CPU and Mobo comes out to ~325W, just over 50% of his PSU's coverage. Seems like a good option IMO. I don't know how good his CPU will do, but I had a much older generation (5820k) than his, and it did just fine with my own 4070

Make sure that there isn't any AI or optimization going on that enhances frame rate. And make sure the generated/computed/processed (whatever the word is) resolution is at 100%, I think it's on a sliding scale in MW2

5600x3D Asus B550 Plus Wifi II Asus 4070 dual HX1000 G.Skill Ram 16gb I have a brand-new issue that started a week or two ago, with no major updates to my computer in the meantime except for a gpu update, which I have since reinstalled. When I open Overwatch or Metro Exodus, there is what seems to be a 50/50 chance that I encounter major stuttering. Like every second. I can't make a circle with my mouse without it stuttering around. The only fix I have found is to restart the computer. As I said, I reinstalled the gpu driver. I updated the bios as well as other extraneous updates on the B550 page. I opened overwatch today and it's happening again. The only other game I've been playing recently is Battlefield 2042, and I've never noticed this issue on that game. Where should I go from here troubleshooting wise? I should add that the only programs open at all times on my computer are Steam, Origin, Blizzard, Logitech Hub, and GForce Experience. But again, nothing has changed. It's the same as it ever was, unless they updated without my knowledge.

Hey guys, dumb question here. I have no bitlocker settings (that I can find***) available in windows 10. Therefore I cannot have bitlocker enabled, and there is no chance that doing a BIOS update will trigger any issues with bitlocker - because bitlocker isn't even there. Right?

if you mainly play fps games I'd go 1080 - if you prefer story games I'd go 1440p Also, I was just watching a video the other day from jayztwocents talking about his 7800x3d and how when he was multitasking while gaming (like streaming or other cpu intensive workloads) it messed with the cpu's ability to fully utilize the 3d cache. Might check that video out and see if it's applicable in your case

Double check the power connectors (SATA for the included controller) are securely plugged in. Might as well pull them out and reconnect them to be sure. Also try disconnecting them from the controller, and connecting them straight to the mother board to see if they spin up. When you plug in your PSU, it should be in the off position, right by where the cable plugs in (The wall outlet cable). But, capacitors still retain some current even after you turn it off so rgb turning on when you plug it in wouldn't terribly surprise me

I second this, i7 1200kf is more than enough. I was getting ~130 fps with a 5820k from almost a decade ago. I would get a 4090 and enjoy it for quite a while!

I'm not the best person to give advice here, not enough knowledge. But I can tell you that if I suspected windows screwed with something in the middle of using my computer, I would be reinstalling windows. You can decide whether to keep your files or not...

Well if you have the receipts you can exchange them for 2 64gb sticks and you can then get the 2 channel ram Or you can accept a small loss, sell your sticks and buy 2 64gb sticks Edit: Reading all of these technical posts after posting this, telling you to just buy different sticks was a hilarious addition to this thread
