Lunar Evolution

Yeah currently I don't have access to another Windows machine but I might be able to get my friend to help me out with that. To be honest the computer is really only used for gaming and pretty much everything relevant is in the Steam cloud, plus I just upgraded hard drives recently and never wiped the old one so it has most of the data on there still. All that to say, I'd gladly just wipe the whole thing and reinstall Windows 10 if that would be the easiest fix.

Unfortunately I have really no familiarity with Linux. I'm sure I could figure it out given enough time but I'm not sure that will be the easiest way for me to go about solving the problem. Would it work to use the Windows Media Creation tool on a flash drive and boot to that to then make a fresh install on my boot drive?

It was the 9th gen Intel i5 with an Aorus Ultra motherboard. But before that I was using the same install as I am now on an i7-3770k which started out on Windows 7 before Windows 10 even came around. Also, one other thing I've noticed is that while it detects my drive in the BIOS, it doesn't provide it as a boot option when I press F11 during boot up. Not sure if that is useful information or to be expected given the problem though

Yes this is correct.

So I just bought a i5-12600K and an MSI Pro Z690 and I am having some strange issues. After Installing everything, I was unable to get the my GPU (GTX 1080) or motherboard to display anything through either HDMI or DisplayPort, and the motherboard was showing a boot problem on it LED debugger. So, I reset the CMOS and removed the graphics card and M.2 boot drive and rebooted. I was able to get into the BIOS, where upon I reinstalled my boot drive and was still able to enter the BIOS. So progress. Unfortunately, this is where progress stopped. I couldn't get past the BIOS and actually reach the Windows login screen. I read a lot of people suggesting I change the boot mode from UEFI to CSM, which seemed like a popular solution although I don't recall ever using CSM before. Nonetheless, I tried to no avail. I booted back into the BIOS where I was greeted with a message about CSM being unsupported and was automatically switched back to UEFI. I then read elsewhere that I needed to change to CSM, power down, install my graphics card, and reboot for it to work. Having tried that, I was back where I started with no display whatsoever with the card installed in the board. And this is where the trail went cold. I'm not quite experience enough to know what the next step here is. I can't see why the whole system just displays nothing with the graphics card in but at least gets to the BIOS with it out. The boot LED problem light is still on, despite my boot drive being detected. I'm not even sure if the display issues with my GPU are related to the boot issues (perhaps somehow CSM is in fact the answer and is causing both issues) or wether they are separate issues. Any expertise, insight, advice, or speculation is greatly appreciated. Edit: It might be worth noting that a lot of people I've seen having similar problems can't reach the BIOS with their GPU installed, but can skip it and still boot Windows. So perhaps issues are in fact separate. This forum post has people sharing similar problems.

I've attached a screenshot of the readouts in CPU-Z with Prime95 running. Strangely, when I'm not running Prime95, the Core Voltage reads closer to 1.25.

So I was messing around with overclocks and just set my 9600K to 4.5Ghz at 1.31 volts, and I noticed during the Prime95 stress test that the voltage was actually sitting closer to 1.11v-1.16v and I wasn't sure what to think of that. (The temp on the hottest core peaked at 78 and hovered mostly around 76 using a Noctua NH-U12S in a single fan setup.) Does that mean the CPU could handle a higher clock at the same voltage and therefor just isn't using all of the allotted voltage? Does this say something about the stability or capability of this particular CPU? I'm sort of new to overclocking just because I never felt like I needed it before but since Intel hasn't really made a noticeably faster CPU in the last 5 years I figured I'd take things into my own hands. Basically just posting hear what others have to say..

Update: I was just messing around switching audio out sources between my monitor and headphones, and the headphones just stopped working too? So I restarted and then Youtube gave me a static screen with the message "Audio renderer error. Please restart your computer." This is new.. A restart did resolve this but still a curious occurrence

So I just upgraded some parts in my computer including the motherboard, and now I can't seem to get Windows to pic up audio from the DAC. It recognizes it and the microphone, and my audio out is working through the DAC, but for some reason the microphone just wont give me anything. I know the DAC is picking up audio fine, so it must be something with Windows I guess? Does anyone have any advice here?

Yeah I thought of this and the problem isn't related to the speakers. It does seem electrical in some way, I'm just not sure why the change of parts caused it.

So I just installed a new motherboard (Aorus Z390 Ultra), as well as a new i5 9600K and new RAM, and i noticed that my monitor has started to make this low pitched buzzing noise. It's a somewhat old Samsung LED monitor, but I'm not sure what could be causing it. It's connected to the graphics card (GTX 1080) as well, and the sounds stops when I unplug the HDMI from either the card or monitor. Any thoughts?

Yeah I'm sure. Once its in a game it will range from 25-50% while CPU is pretty much maxed out. Honestly after upgrade frames are occasionally better, like 80s instead of 60s, but also occasionally can't get much past 40.

Task manager says right at 4.3 GHz in the menus, at like 70% load. Meanwhile the 1080 is sitting around 15% usage.

Ah right, Hadn't even thought of that. So, on the new Modern Warfare for example, which seems to utilize all 6 cores, the bottleneck still seems to come from the CPU. I wasn't reall planning on overclocking as I figured the current gen CPU's would handle these sorts of games alright at base clocks. However, seeing that it's still bottle necked by the CPU despite no core ever going above 50 degrees Celsius, I guess I should be overclocking?

So I'm just a but ignorant on this topic. I just finished upgrading my pretty old computer (Ivy Lake upgraded to Coffee Lake, like 30 minutes ago I finished and booted it), and I am wondering why games with high settings and uncapped framerates don't pull all the available resources. The i5 9600K sits around half in most games and the GTX 1080 barely reaches half. If the framerates are uncapped, shouldn't the GPU at least be putting out more frames?

So it was fixed for a while, but I left my computer (on, still running, just alone for a couple hours) and came back and it is happening again. Is there something else I can do?

That worked, thanks!

So I just purchased a brand new Rode AI1 along with brand new ATH-M50x's. I have been having problems with weird static/shuttering when audio is playing through the headphones, but only when they are plugged into the AI1 interface's headphone port. And only sometimes. I was recording some tracks just yesterday on my Mac, and had no problems. And, for a while, I wasn't having problems on my windows 10 PC, but then the static started. I have tried all the very basic things, unplug, different wire, checking settings, but I can't seem to figure it out. I'm very new to high end audio, so any tips would be great

Google's data download only lets my download photos that I uploaded. I was able to download one of our albums, but the main one won't work. I even added everything to my own library, and tried to download pictures 500 at a time, but it just downloaded as a 1.5 GB .jpg file rather than a folder full of photos. It's very odd.

I'm trying to download a lot of photos from my time studying abroad, and we have all combined our photos into a huge google photos album, but when I use the download all option, it downloads a file labeled as 5 GB, which seems right, but it ends up being an MOV file that when opened is just the one video in the album. Has anyone else had this problem?

I am hoping to add another SSD to my Windows machine and just load macOS onto the SSD and then be able to either boot from the Windows drive or the macOS drive. I wanted to make sure this was possible and see if anyone had any tips before I actually buy the drive. I mainly want to do this for editing as my laptop, although it's pretty much the fastest 13 inch macbook you can get, isn't really super smooth with 4K video editing. I have glanced over some compatability lists and found that most, if not all, of my build will work with macOS. Except perhaps my 1080, which I think I can get special drivers for. Any advice or tips are appreciated Edit: I was also wondering how easy it would be to boot from each drive whenever I want using BIOS, like would I have to change the default boot order every time?

Maybe I should just say it like this. The html code that I need to put in looks something like the code you can find at http://www.w3schools.com/howto/tryit.asp?filename=tryhow_js_alerts. The reason I need the values from the PHP variables is because I need to echo that line inside of one of the alert boxes in the html. Is there a simple way to do that?

I'm not exactly sure how to phrase this, but I need help figuring out how to use the value of one of my variables in PHP code in the HTML code that is running inside of it. For example: <?php echo "There is a $serverstatus alert on the $servername server where your $productname product is hosted."; ?> <html> <body> Lots of html code using the three variables within the echo above. </body> </html> <? echo "Back to PHP to finish up the rest of what I was doing. ?> How can I get the variables from the echo statement into the HTML code?

One other quick question, in your first post you suggested some code to use, does that code work even if the [translated name] key appears multiple times in the $output variable? Or does it just recognize the first time it appears

Yeah that makes sense. I needed it as a string for something else I was doing so I just kept it that way for this initially. The reason I was not using arrays is because I'm super new to PHP and don't fully understand them and haven't mastered them yet.
