The game is given as a download, no cd-key necessary when installing. Their Galaxy client can be used, but is not enforced and games do not need it to run.

What do all these different clock speeds mean?
ShadowPony replied to hui's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
actually, from top to down, left to right I'd say: - base frequency of the CPU - overclock frequency of the CPU (current CPU frequency) - maximum (boost) frequency of the CPU- 9 replies

bootrec /fixmbr alone will not fix your problem besides that you also need to run bootrec /fixboot and finally bootrec /rebuildbcd if this doesn't work then you should reinstall
-
bcdedit and bootrec come with windows; see my post above for a link to microsoft support that tells how to use it
-
sorry, bcdedit works if in windows bootrec is the tool to use in recovery https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/927392
-
go into windows recovery, command prompt and use bcdedit tool to recreate the bootstore and fix mbr and boot sectors reinstall of windows not needed

Very brief powerloss.Pc restarted instead of shutdown.
ShadowPony replied to zzz123's topic in Power Supplies
normally it will not power on if the bios setting does not allow it (check it by unplugging it from the power outlet, let it sit for ~30s before plugging it back on and check if it still restarts) what I think it's happening is, because the outage was not long, the current inside the capacitors of the computer did not have time to fully discharge (mostly in the powersupply I'd guess), and when the power came back on, it "saw" the current flow and "thought" it was commanded to power on and "decided" to start. well, that's my take on it, if anyone was more information that can clarify this, please share it with the rest of us -
for programming, it all depends on the compilers you use, if they are able to use and feed all the threads on a hyperthreaded cpu as the i7 at work I use an i7 and it shows

GRUB still showing up after removing Linux volume drives
ShadowPony replied to a topic in Operating Systems
bootrec is the tool to use, but fixmbr is not enough you also need to do fixboot on the partition that boots best would be to rebuild the BCD store more info: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/927392 -
Is it possible to clone only an OS to another drive
ShadowPony replied to jackson-taliana's topic in Windows
it depends is your current hdd partitioned? is just your OS (win 10) on a single partition? is that partition smaller than the new SSD? if not, is the amount of data on that partition smaller than the new SSD? if the answer is yes, you have your answer if the answer to all of them is no, then you have to somehow reach in that situation (use an external HDD to move stuff to it temporarily until you are left with one partition smaller than your SSD) Edit: while I agree that a fresh install is the best, if you do not have the time to install everything from scratch, a clone will do you good my install of win 7 survived an update to win 8, one to win 8.1 and another to win 10 while being moved to two SSD (also it survived a mobo change) I am not saying it doesn't have it's problems, just that a fresh install can be annoying sometimes -
Computer does not output to PCIE GFX card after cold boot
ShadowPony replied to ShadowPony's topic in Troubleshooting
I usually don't disconnect it, just that when I do (for tinkering inside, moving it or other things) when I have to remove the power cord then this happens. Plus it's bugging me not knowing what the problem is -
Computer does not output to PCIE GFX card after cold boot
ShadowPony replied to ShadowPony's topic in Troubleshooting
yes there is, it is set to the PCIE gfx card I also thought I had disabled the integrated gfx card I guess it does not detect the pcie gfx card and enables the integrated gfx card to use it I also do not think the battery is a problem as no settings seem to be reset -
Hi folks, I know, long title, but not sure how to say it otherwise. I am having a somewhat strange problem here. At every "cold boot" (by cold boot I mean not plugged into a socket before starting) my GFX card does not output anything to the monitors, the fans are spinning at max speed. The POST beep can be heard and the hard drives are running smoothly. After shutting it down a few times (pressing the power button for ~4s) or resseting via the reset button everything goes to normal, PCIE GFX card outputs and works normally. This never happens with a "warm" boot (left powered down but power cord still plugged in). (I know a warm boot means reboot, but not sure how to call it) It finally hit me the other day when I had the audacity to put a monitor to an output of the integrated gfx card and was able to see it actually booting into windows. (fans are still loud tho'). Computer is the one in my profile (or pcpart link: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/f27vWX). I've had some problems with my computer before where I had to RMA my GFX card (a R9 280 Toxic) and 16GB of RAM. My powersupply also died on me once but after I changed a capacitor inside it's working well. At this point I am thinking of the PSU or maybe even the mobo. Thank you for reading this post

In C (and not only C): \n - new line \r - carriage return In Linux you only need \n, while in window you need \n\r to perform the same task: a new line with the cursor on the first column. That is how the different operating systems were coded. In C you would usually use these when you want to make a new line in a printed text (either in an output console or on some display box).

If you do not want to use an additional enclosing but have a spare external SATA HDD you could use this spare HDD to do the clone from the old M.2 to that HDD and then from that HDD to the new M.2 or you could use the spare HDD to host an image of the old M.2 and then use the image to put it on the new M.2.
