    I'm surprised nobody has any idea at all. At this point I've conceded and will just do a fresh install.

    Connected the SSD while the Windows logo from the recovery drive is being displayed. It still won't allow me to restore (no windows installation), but when I go into the cmd prompt and use diskpart, I can at least SEE the SSD is connected. Anywhere to go from here?

    Hi all, having a problem after installing a Windows 10 update last night. I chose to update & shutdown instead of reboot, it seems this is now coming back to bite me. The issue is as follows: if I boot normally (all drives connected), the computer doesn't get past the UEFI splash screen AT ALL. It just completely freezes there. Unplugging the boot drive leads to the "BOOTMGR missing" screen. I've identified the boot SSD as the cause of the issue here. So I tried to use a recovery USB drive to restore a previous point. However, I cannot do this because in order to get into UEFI to choose to boot from the USB, I have to have the SSD connected DISCONNECTED (otherwise it again just freezes on splash). When I then boot into the installation/recovery and reconnect the SSD, it doesn't recognize/see it. The recovery thing produces an error saying there's no Windows installation. I tried connecting the SSD straight after choosing to boot from USB (UEFI mode), which just caused the UEFI to freeze on splash again. Connecting the SSD while inside UEFI caused the entire UEFI to freeze. I can see and access files on the SSD on my laptop through a SATA to USB adapter. This leads me to believe the SSD isn't broken, there's just something on there from the update preventing the boot sequence from happening correctly. Does anybody have ideas how I could fix this without wiping and reinstalling completely? I would very much prefer to avoid that. Thanks for reading! edited to add: this is my drive config: -250GB Evo 840 (Windows) -2TB Seagate (files) -3TB Toshiba (files)

    No? I was really just wondering whether you attach the sleeving in some way or just pinch it with the compression fittings

    Hi I know this thread is pretty ancient but I'm looking for guides how to sleeve watercooling tubes. Your video doesn't seem to be available anymore Could you reupload it? Would be awesome. Thanks

    though I did cringe when he touched the CPU on the bottom

    Yeah but Linus kept suggesting the baller stuff first and his son just went with it

    4K seems like the best to me, simply because it's the most meaningful. The other ones seem partly like things you use occasionally but 4K is always awesome Thx Samsung & LMG

    Too silly. The TechnoBuffalo version of this video was better. No silly comic sans shit etc. Come on Linus. You can make it funny, but that was pretty low :mellow:

    It looks good. It needs more video quality options - HD or Auto, what's that supposed to mean? I also agree that it needs an Android app. >50% of my YouTube viewing is on my Android Phone. It needs a better way to show new content (like My Subscriptions on YouTube, except that that isn't very good either as I'm sure many know). Good start, but a long way ahead to improve. I think most importantly it needs to listen to viewers, unlike YouTube, which just does whatever the f*ck it wants to.

    Hey LMG (Nick?), could you forward some of this stuff to Vessel? IMO, community interaction is extremely important!

I like it, but there are issues! 1. Password recovery is REALLY bad. I was not able to get back the first account I made (Chrome didn't save the password and I couldn't figure it out. Reset the password but it didn't work so I made a new one). 2. What's up with the video quality settings? HD or not HD, those can't be the only options, come on?? Other than that, thanks LMG and good luck all

    Anyone? Is it not enough info to make a guess?

    Hey guys I've been dealing with a weird issue for a while, but only yesterday it reached the point where I now think something is definitely very wrong here. So more than half the time I want to start my PC, it just doesn't. I have no idea what's wrong. Might be the motherboard (Sabertooth Z77), might be the PSU (Seasonic X-750). The (pretty stupid) workaround I found is to pull the plug and then partially plug it in, rocking it in the socket a bit until eventually I hear a click and the PC starts. I'm pretty sure that's only possible because here in Switzerland we have plugs with three thingys (http://cfnewsads.thomasnet.com/images/large/485/485256.jpg) where the bottom one is the ground. When I do the workaround, I kind of plug it in at an angle so the bottom one isn't in quite as far. So what happened yesterday: I had been gaming for a little more than an hour and suddenly the power of the PC just cuts. All black. From 100% load to nothing. Started up again just fine, but I'm really worried. What does this sound like to you? I'm leaning towards PSU-issue but I'm thinking it might also be the motherboard.. both components are around 3 years old so it would be a much larger problem to replace the motherboard platform swap and all.

    iRacing has Server Farms in the Netherlands (for Europe), Somerville, MA and Sydney. There are actually quite a lot of Australians and Kiwis on iRacing, especially in the V8 Supercars, which is an awesome series. If you've got any more questions about iRacing, hit me up.

    Hm.. Google Play says not compatible and I only found the old version on the site. Am I looking in the wrong place? Does someone have a link to the new Android version?
