I suspect Kloaked just means resetting the settings on the bios by either using a jumper per the motherboard instructions, or disconnecting the power cable and removing the 3v button-battery on your board for 10 or 15 seconds. If you don't see any change after resetting your BIOS, I would definitely try to test your RAM further. You said you had run memtest. How long did you run memtest for? Did you run it in windows or on a boot disk? Have you tried removing all but one ram stick in the DIMM_A2 socket? (DIMM_A2 is the Closest light-brown slot to your CPU and is the slot recommended by the mobo manual for single-stick configs.) This will force your comptuer to use the memory in single channel mode and it can single out a bad stick. (If you still have issues with a single stick of ram in, try swapping that single stick, as, if even 1 of the sticks is bad, you have at least 25% chance of picking it right off the bat.) Also, what speed is the ram at? 1066Mhz, 1333Mhz, 1600Mhz, 1866Mhz, 2133Mhz, etc... Is it running at it's rated speed? Is it under/over-clocked? The issue is definitely weird.

I really love the camera on this phone. The 4k video recording looks gorgeous.

Oh, also, the line for the garage sale was long as balls. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gf-kcixQS5g EDIT: All dem signatures. #dickbutt http://i.imgur.com/vgl3pVp.jpg

That pricing is spectacular. That's 0.30$/GB. Incredible. If I didn't already have ~500GB worth of SSD storage I would pickup one for myself.

Need help removing Motherboard Heatsinks
DotBowder replied to Jacktastic-Mofo's topic in Troubleshooting
It depends on the motherboard. This is among the most common, squeeze the "wings" on the backside. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ua-4RzgJXWs&t=1m45s -
Hmmm, this one may be a bit beyond my skills. I personally try to either keep my computer on or shut it down. With an HDD, that might be less realistic for you, but at least the issue can be side-stepped to some degree.

That was at the time i tried to wake it for sleep, for the purpose of the video in the OP. Based on the log, I would suspect windows was still running in the background but is stalled or something. However, it appears to be doing various bootup things in the background. Video to EventLog Comparison: 00:01 - Sleep Initiate 00:25 - Sleep Mode Complete -- Broken Timeline -- 00:34 - Power Button 00:44 - 17:39:50 - Windows Initialize 00:50 - 17:39:56 - Windows Logo Disappear (System still appears on) 01:19 - 17:40:25 - Power Button 01:23 - 17:40:29 - Windows Partially Initialized 01:35 - 17:40:42 - Windows Logon Appears 01:41 - 17:40:48 - Windows Logon Initialized 01:51 - 17:40:58 - Explorer.exe Open Presuming I've got the timing correct, whatever brought the system back up happened between 17:40:23 and 17:40:28 when you pressed the power button. On the left side of the event viewer, select "Custom Views - Administrative Events" instead of System and see if anything occurred between 17:40:23 and 17:40:28

It may be worth checking the Windows Event Log for any critical errors or something. It might give us more clues as to exactly what happened. Make a note of the time where it crashes upon waking and then look in the Event Log for the time it crashed.

If you have an Nvidia card, you can use Nvidia's auto detect software to find the right video drivers for your system: http://www.nvidia.com/download/scan.aspx?lang=en-us

It sounds like a signal issue between the modem and the ISPs Cell tower. With cellular networks, the speed is bound to fluctuate, but shouldn't be going from 10, to 3, then back up to 7. The speed will get slower in the afternoon/evening likely due to other people coming home and using up the bandwidth on the cellular tower, OR, it could be other people using cellular internet and it's creating too much noise for your modem to get a proper connection to the cell tower. In other words, it sounds like a signal issue or your ISP overselling bandwidth on the cell tower. If they did happen to oversell bandwidth on the cell tower, then they would have received complaints from other people. If they haven't gotten any other complaints like yours, then it's most-probably a signal issue. I can't explain why it would continue to have poor speeds/connectivity late at night, I would expect the worst times to be 4pm through 9pm, maybe as late as 10pm, but then I would expect it to get better after that. At this point, re-positioning that modem is going to have the best chance for helping things. If that doesn't seem to help at all, you'll probably have to call your ISP again and see if they have any ideas.

I agree with Jeffery.^

The wireless adapter doesn't even appear to be listed. It's as though the OS doesn't know it's there.

Ok hold up, don't uninstall that.
