Some things to try, in loose order: -disabling iGPU to see what happens -update gpu driver -reseat gpu, taking extra care with the additional pcie power cables -try to update gpu firmware using AMDVBFlash

Just bought this Cyberpower prebuilt from Best Buy (I know I'm a traitor I'm sorry ) RTX 3070, i7 12th gen, 16 gb ram cpu has a cooler master AiO When doing light stuff like installing programs, web browsing, youtube, etc no issue. However when I try to play a game, the audio starts to go static; like it's bitcrushed. Then after a few seconds the PC hard shuts off, as if I pulled the plug. I have: -limited usb devices to just mouse and keyboard -changed what power outlet, turned off other things on the same outlet to make sure its not some over current protection or something -updated gpu, wifi, and intel management enginer drivers -tried with 2 very different games (escape from tarkov, csgo) -restarted many times edit: before someone asks yes I took out the packaging foam around the gpu lol also I haven't bothered checking temps bc tbh they dont seem that warm even just feeling with my hand; the game's fps is solid right up until the pc shuts off instead of throttling which also makes me think its not a heat thing

I'm trying to interface a smartphone with an mbed board with built-in BLE (Discovery L475VG IoT) in Mbed OS 6. I'm using Mbed Studio. There's some documentation (though a lot is out of date), most notably being the official mbed example codes and such, and I've read through the GattServer CharacteristicUpdate and CharacteristicWrite examples several times. I'm having a hard time understanding how to do basic read and writes within mbed, which is frustrating since that's kind of the whole point. It seems that the actual operations are implemented in a way where you can't directly call them? Any pointers on where to start?

I know you said you don't care that much about the using the best possible sensor... but if you wanted to the Veggetronix VH400 is a pretty decent capacitive soil moisture sensor. It's an analog read, like those resistive ones everyone uses. It's 40 bucks which is a bit pricier than a lot of resistive sensors but it will be a lot more accurate for longer.

Ok, I am elated to say that I know now what was wrong. Kudos to my buddy in Discord who apparently has had a similar issue in the past. The issue stems from having a network drive or subfolder from a network drive in the Quick Access section of File Explorer. No, I don't know why this affects other programs, but regardless taking any network drive or network pathed-folders off of Quick Access fixed the issue. Also, disable recents showing up in quick access since that will- you guessed it- result it network pathed stuff showing up in quick access against your will. To do this, open File Explorer, right click on Quick Access, click Options. Uncheck the two boxes under 'Privacy' (see screenshot below)

Idk about the PCI lanes things off the top of my head, but have you tried verifying that theory by isolating/removing drives? Also doing similarly with your RAM sticks? Updated drivers?

Is there some sort of refresh rate or related setting on the monitor itself? I would check for that sort of thing. If you have another HDMI cable by chance it also wouldn't hurt to try swapping them.

Hey all, so I have a very peculiar issue with my laptop- it seems to freeze when accessing files at home, but not when I'm on campus. There are two variables that differ between my home and school, which is the power, and the WiFi source I am connecting to, both obviously just because different location, different sources. There are three programs where this effect is most pronounced: Cubase 9.5 (a Digital Audio Workstation aka audio editing/production software), Steam, and Windows Explorer Cubase slows to a crawl/completely freezes when loading 'Studio Manager' or any of the various 'content libraries' after it. Sometimes if I leave it be for an obnoxiously long time, it will eventually load into the program, but unfortunately that 'workaround' doesn't really work because in this case the program behaves unusably stuttery and slow. In Windows Explorer, symptoms vary from slow navigation between folders, to freezing/crashing whenever I right click. Interestingly, it also tends to freeze or crash when I try to drag files into things, especially 'upload file' things on websites and into network mapped drives in Windows Explorer. Steam similarly just likes to lock up whenever I click on stuff, especially on installing or moving files of games. When this performance stuff occurs, it also seems to eat up RAM/CPU usage often-ish, though I am not solid of this correlation. The common denominator here as far as I can tell is that these freezes all have something to do with accessing files, I think. Cubase freezes when loading, Windows Explorer freezes when doing file stuff, Steam freezes...well Steam just kinda freezes a lot in general but also it definitely does most when doing file stuff with games. On campus, I have seen little to none of these issues. On the basis of the problem being network settings or something of the like, I have tried: -forgetting and reconnecting to network -going to airplane mode and restarting cubase -going to airplane mode and restarting pc -the two above but with directly disabling the wifi adapter -switching between ethernet and wifi and disabling either and restarting pc -ipconfig /release /renew On the basis of the problem being some weird power source thing, I have tried some of the above troubleshooting steps while on battery power, and switching between plugged and unplugged with no observable difference in behavior. pls help EDIT: forgot specs lol MSI GS65 Stealth Thin 8RF Windows 10 19041 16GB RAM i7 8750h GTX 1070 maxQ EDIT 2: -I've tried updating graphics drivers, both discrete and integrated, and anything intel driver update utility scans for -I've done full malware/virusscans with bitdefender, windows defender, and malwarebytes (all free) -I've done the Ccleaner health check thing -I've done Disk Cleanup

I have an NVME SSD, with about ~30GB to spare. I could try a VPN, and would appreciate suggestions for free ones that presumably don't have a download cap if you wouldn't mind lol

I removed mentioning Steam as I think that's muddying my summary. It happens with all uncapped download sources, not just Steam, let alone a particular game.

Everything from Steam, to drivers, etc etc that doesn't have a website-set limit, seems to peak at the same speed. The only reason I don't think it's something the university sets is because as mentioned fellow students don't seem to have the same limitations. My phone, for example, downloads much quicker despite being on WiFi compared to my laptops wired connection.

I've been having an issue for a while on my laptop, where I download at a max speed of around 1.4 MB/s (byte not bit). This is usable, obviously, but much slower than what I'm supposed to be getting. I'm at university, on a campus dorm, and we have gigabit. My peers get the speeds they're supposed to, and if I go to the ookla speedtest site I get an appropriate amount also (see screenshot below) but in actual downloads I get nothing about that 1.4MB/s (around 11Mbps). The weird thing is, I used to get normal speeds on this very same laptop, with the same, router, ethernet cable, and ethernet port. I suspect that this is some sort of software issue (atleast I hope) but idk. TLDR; Speedtest says I have ~850Mbps my normal downloads peak at 11Mbps, wtf

I'm putting this here because I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that people knowledgeable about power supplies are more likely to have more of an electrical background, not that it technically matters. Anyways, I was shitposting on a discord server with other electrical majors like myself, and we came to the discussion of how changing the phase of an AC would affect the device it's supplying. So, I understand that swapping AC poles just changes phase, right, so with that in mind, how would that mismatched phase affect, say, a power supply? hey look this post isn't completely irrelevant to the category after all ;))) EDIT: is->isn't lol freudian slip

As far as I know, there isn't anything where the PC will beep if it is low on RAM. Do you think your friend might have some sort of malware, adware, etc. on his computer? If you're sure the beeping is coming from the computer speakers and not an internal PC speaker, I'm not sure what else would do that
