I once had similar issues. My PC just turned on randomly when it was in sleep mode. I remember doing something with the network adapter so it can't wake up the PC (Device Manager > One of your network adapters > Energy management (or however it is called in English)). After a short googling I've also read that drivers might be an issue. While doing this I came across this, I've come across this (https://davescomputertips.com/windows-10-wont-sleep-solved/) and it looked sort of promissing as they did something else than just poking around in the dark. I don't know whether it will help or not, though.

energy-report.html here is the report generated from following the guide you linked, it shows something about a driver not allowing the computer to automatically enter sleep but just shows weird symbols and doesn't say which driver, it is the 5th error on the list, then below that error there is one that talks about the Bluetooth (which is part of the wifi card the laptop came with) but it's talking about the bluetooth like it's a USB device, I would also note I just got a new cell phone last week and the weekend was the first time I attempted to pair it over BT to the laptop and it had issues connecting and was listed in the computers BT device list twice. I just checked the Device Manager and it doesn't have that Power Management Option for any of the Bluetooth devices and on the Network adapter that setting is not checked, so it doesn't need to be unchecked.

I may just try deleting the bluetooth drivers and see if that does anything then if it does try to troubleshoot because I use bluetooth headphones and need those working.

Edit: tried updating multiple drivers and even a BIOS update and still nothing has changed, the Device Manager does show a device it calls "Detection Verification" as missing a driver, i'll try more drivers later tonight till I at least find that one.

I have an HP Spectre x360 15t Late 2017 model laptop, have owned it since late November 2017, I move around a lot so I use Sleep mode a lot, like 3-4 times a day so I don't have to close my web browser and it's 300+ tabs (I know I have a problem, it's easier then bookmarking, LOL).

Anyway this past weekend I went and hit the power button to put the computer to sleep, then as I went to bag it up to take with me I noticed the power light came back on, the computer had RESTARTED (not gone to sleep), I try doing the Shutdown and same thing the computer restarts after about 5-10 seconds, the only way I have successfully managed to get the computer turned off is to long press the power button.

So far I have tried:

1. removing one ram stick, then the other ram stick (reinstalling the first one), to rule out a memory error)

2. unplug the battery incase some kind of surge was causing it to trigger the computer to restart

3. update to the latest build of Windows 10

4. Reset Windows Keeping my Files

5. Reset Windows Not keeping anything

I also did other things before resetting windows like disabling fast startup and other trouble shooting measures, NOTHING had any effect. happens when running on battery or plugged into the wall.

Anyone ever seen a computer that just keeps restarting like this?

ok. the Aorus Ultra should be the cheapest board for what you asked for (better heatsink than the Pro WiFi, extra M.2 slot), but if you're ok with spending more the MSI Unify will do. Basically the Ace with none of the RGB or gold fancy stuff while cheaper than everything cvompetiting with it like the Asus X570-E (unless Microcenter special pricing) or anything like that.

they don't have the Unify, I am aware of that one though, I'm not part of the Anti-RGB crowd, I like having lighting in the case, I don't do the rainbow puke (FYI I can't control the RGB of the RAM on this pre-AURA Z170 board in the picture above) here is the boards my Microcenter has https://www.microcenter.com/search/search_results.aspx?N=4294966996+4294818900+4294810816&NTX=&NR=&filterProperty=&NTT=&NTK=all&page=1&sortby=pricehigh&SortNow=Go

If it doesn't set the store choose the Marietta, GA store and remember I get an additional $30 off the prices listed on the website if I buy the board at the same time as the CPU.

Buildzoid, isn't much of a fan of the X570-E he says they are just too pricey for what you get, either step down to the TUF or go up to the Hero VII, I kinda like the dedicated W Pump header instead of just an AIO Pump header on the VIII vs. the TUF, plus the VIII has more USB ports and other higher end features, I guess at this point I just have to decide if the extra 100-200 for the Hero VIII is worth it for my ultimate goals of the computer. the Meg ACE is actually discounted enough that it comes in cheaper then the Unify at Newegg, but i've pretty much ruled that one out anyway. I'm gonna rewatch the video again in the morning while i'm getting ready to head south to the store. This is likely to be my last post for the next 5-6 hours as I need to go get some sleep.

Do PCPP.com prices apply to you?

buying from Microcenter because with the discount on Mobo's there it comes out cheaper then online.

With no airflow ? Like in completely enclosed metal box or what ? If you have even most choked case on the earth there will be at least some airflow if you'll add some case fans. Or get a good air-flow case like FD Meshify C or Phanteks P400A. That said most X570 boards (excluding most sub-ATX ones and sub 300$ MSI boards) will be okay even with little airflow, i'd recommend ASUS TUF or ASRock Taichi.

No DIRECT airflow, case is a Corsair 570X (see picture) with a 360 rad in the front pulling air in using the stock RGB fans and a 240 rad with the EK Vardar fans in the top exhausting out and an exhaust on the rear, but fan speeds are tuned to be relatively reasonable noise levels as the system is in the living room. Between the Res and the fan speed there is very little airflow coming through the front. Spending more for something that is measurably better is fine, I don't mind doing that, I just don't want to be spending stupid money like the Aurous Extreme at $700, the video above from Der8auer kinda has me leaning toward the Hero VIII, temps and efficiencies are pretty in line with the Extreme but at half the price, I was previously considering the Meg ACE but seeing it more in line with the TUF temp wise is definitely steering me away from that one, because why pay over a $100 more for the same performance, the TUF is kinda my fallback if I can't find something I like better, I've already built a 3900X build for the office I do contract work for using that board and it's even cheaper now at Microcenter then it was back in August when I did that build (after the sale price and the $30 discount when you buy a Mobo and CPU at the same time, it's only $150, which even after taxes will keep me in the target, not fixed, budget of $1,000 for CPU and Mobo), as for the Taichi, I just don't like the look of it, it doesn't jive with look i'm ultimately going for (which will include converting to hardline at some point).

For a 24/7 machine I wouldn't really watercool. If your loop has an issue you might overheat) leak without noticing. 

A little airflow over the VRM's is also very nice to have, even if it's just a random fan there for the 24/7 periods. 

rig is ALREADY watercooled and has been for some time, also AMD suggest Watercooling for 3950X anyway. this is a Mobo and CPU swap on an existing rig.

so good VRM is your only need?

good VRM and ATX form factor are the only real requirements, something that has Bluetooth built in would be a bonus so I can use the bluetooth keyboard I have for my Shield TV for when I'm on the couch and want to navigate to a movie.

So I'm going to Microcenter to pickup the 3950X, I reserved on launch day, in the morning, I want to pickup an X570 Mobo while i'm there but I want one with a really good VRM that can handle being under heavy load for months on end without any direct airflow over the VRM, the 3950X will be under a waterblock and I'm going to use this machine to encode my DVD/Bluray Library (which is several HUNDRED discs deep) into x265 so I can digitize my entire library, because of this the machine will be under heavy load 24/7, so i'm looking for a really good VRM but I also don't want to buy some $700 Mobo.

Mobo should be an ATX because this is also my gaming rig and so I need space for the GPU and the Vive Wireless PCI Card.

Ill keep up to date,  SO far I know that 1  stick in A1  works

 

and what about the other stick in A1?

what we are trying to establish is whether a stick is bad or a slot is bad or if something else entirely is going on, so the first step is you start with a stock BIOS (no XMP or anything like that) and see is Stick A boots in slot A1, if it does shut down and remove Stick A and Replace it with Stick B and see if it boots with Stick B in the A1 slot, if both boot fine that way then the issue is not the ram sticks and that makes us look at a likely defective motherboard, it Stick B doesn't boot then we have a bad RAM stick, it's rare, i've seen 1 bad out of box and 1 failed while using stick of RAM in my nearly 20 years of building, if you have a CD Drive (you may be able to do this off a USB these days) there is a program called Memtest86 it will also show you if there are issues with the RAM.

you can try manually forcing the upgrade this was updated a month ago saying the method described still works https://www.howtogeek.com/266072/you-can-still-get-windows-10-for-free-with-a-windows-7-8-or-8.1-key/

I will be testing this myself on my sisters old laptop so that I can swap it to an SSD.

VRAM usage has to do more with the level of detail you load, the higher you crank the settings in the game the more VRAM it needs, like say you increase the texture details or the scene render distance, basically the more stuff it needs to load to play the game the more VRAM it uses.

Low VRAM usage doesn't indicate there is any kind of issue like you are describing.

What you can try instead of doing the DDU then installing the latest drivers, do the DDU then install the old drivers you had from before last week, nearly every build of Nvidia Drivers is readily available online if you go here https://www.nvidia.com/drivers/beta

you can find every build of the drivers and see the original release dates so you can try to guess which driver build you where running BEFORE you lost the performance.

Another thought, did you happen to upgrade to the latest Windows 10 build? I swear that thing is getting to be a bigger GPU resource hog every version.

well from what we can see, it supports a full ATX mobo and has tempered glass and a top mount PSU so we can rule out any of the O11 variants as the PSU mounts in the rear half of that unit, a top mount PSU is also pretty rare in a tempered glass case, using those restrictions I went to newegg and started sorting, I believe THIS is the card you are looking for https://www.newegg.com/black-rosewill-prism-s500-atx-mid-tower/p/N82E16811147283

why not spend a touch more on the PSU selection and get a PSU that has 2 8 Pin CPU Power connections, I know the RM850x does and I think the v2 RM750x does, most higher tier PSU's should and a PSU isn't where you want to cheap out in a build, odds are that PSU is gonna outlast the rest of the machine.

DM the LMG team then, if I have something I don't want anyone else weighing in on, I don't put it on a public forum. 

That's what public threads on public forums are for...

To be fair, I may be going a bit hard with the memeing, but the point I'm trying to make is that you're overexaggerating to the point of hilarity. It's a 5 second mention of the clothes he literally has on his person, with an amusing and well-timed segway, that doesn't actually break the flow of anything. He leads in from a finished statement, basically over b-roll now since nothing of consequence was happening at the time, and it's followed by a cut to him back on topic after the labeling is done and he's now stacking the HDDs (pretty standard to either cut past or time-lapse mundane stuff in videos). 

Slapping in a natural feeling and well timed mention of a product in between a finished task and a standard cut to the next step isn't jarring or terrible business practices at all. If you feel that breaks the flow or is visually distracting, please don't ever watch any post-Bourne era action movies because they have much more aggressive cuts and segways into other parts of the story (many will purposely cut from one location to an entirely different one, with the intention of jarring you). 

but this is the thread for the video so it's the place to put it, YOU are the one that feels the need to interject your opinion into it and you are now joining my ignore list.

 Damn, sorry to hear that him mentioning a jacket for 5 seconds (4:03-4:08) is such a big issue, especially considering it doesn't even break the flow of what he was saying (it's a quick little blurb amid the extremely engrossing and very exciting activity that is writing on HDDs with sharpies). 
 

just because it doesn't distract you doesn't mean it doesn't distract others. and besides buddy I was addressing LMG via the forum here, this was not meant to be something for everyone with an opinion to sound off on, just because you don't care doesn't give you the right to bully other people for saying something. This isn't a one time thing, this has been going on for weeks and I've been forced to stop watching the videos because of it.

I hate the ads on TV, it's why I don't have TV at home, just use Netflix, Prime Video, and Crunchyroll. I've never really been bothered by any ad hardbaked into a YouTube video, since I can just slapp that arrow key to jump 10 seconds at a time into a future where that ad is nonexistent, and the company still makes their monies. 

Ads are edited out for Floatplane subs because they're paying for that convenience (and also early vids and some exclusive content and stuff). 

 

Where is this horrible shilling at? I've scrubbed through the vid like 7 times and can't find anywhere the entire video stops to shill merch. 

4:04 is the timestamp I stopped at, he literally stops what he is doing to show off the jacket and a card pops in taking up the left 3rd of the screen, it's completely distracting and makes his videos unwatchable, it's impossible to predict which moment in a video he will do this unlike the other adspots and frankly it's just a scummy thing to do, are the intro and outro adspots not enough? if not TELL US, don't just ad a third adspot and ignore your viewers when they say something about it. You also never know how long these spots will be and so going willy nilly on the skip may make you miss something important, eitherway it's a massive distraction and causes viewers with certain medical conditions (like ADHD for example) to lose focus on whats happening in the video, in short it's a dick move and nothing but a cashgrab that is driving away viewers, if the merch was this good it wouldn't need to be advertised this heavily.

Dam bro  how could a company shill their own merch...   it's just infuriating to see a company trying to make money without being forced to live off of 3rd party sponsors   

If they just never payed any of their employees we could have completely ad-free content! 

THATS what the adspots at the beginning and end that are edited out for Floatplane subscribers are for, stopping dead in your tracks to shill merch ruining the whole flow of EVERY VIDEO POSTED for the last month is amount to TROLLING not trying to make sales.

If TV increased commercials by 50% so that an hour long TV show is now only 35 minutes and commercials are 25 minutes would you be OK with that? because it's the same damn thing as Linus adding a 3rd advertisement to every video. it completely interupts the flow of the video, it's outside of the traditional adspots and now brings him up to 3 adspots where all the other techtubers are 1 maybe 2 and they keep them limited to the beginning or end like a gentlemen, this is Truman Show level advertising. I frankly can't believe you are defending a companies advertising policy, you should want ads to be as minimal as needed to be, not defending the addition of a third ad break.

Project NOT gonna finish watching because you can't STOP SHILLING THE MERCH. #ReportedForSpamToYoutube

I could swear I've seen this exact comment on other threads...

 

A <5 second plug == shilling the F out??  Yeah, sorry, calm down.

 

#ContinueTheMerchShilling Keep it up, guys!

 

"as good as you say"...it's branded items.  They're not gold plated TOSLINK cables...what are you expecting?  People buy their stuff, use it in pubic. LTT gets brand exposure, the buyer supports the channel.  They're described with puffery and hyperbole, because of course they are. 

 

Do you expect them to say, "We WANT you to buy our water bottle, because it says LinusTechTips on it, and we make money.  We DON'T suggest you use it though, because it rusts in open air, will spill your beverage down your shirt, and it's insulated with asbestos...so good luck with the cancer.  Buy our hoodie, because it says LTT.  But god forbid you want to wear it, it'll give you hives like you don't believe, is extremely flammable, and will dissolve the first time you wash it (or go out in the rain)."

 

Yeah...no, they're not going to say that, because those aren't the facts.  It's branded merch.  It supports the channel.  As PewDiePie has admitted, merch brings in more money than adsense does, and his videos get tons of views too. #LongLiveTheMerch

do they NOT get enough exposure by having EVERYONE SEEN ON CAMERA always wearing them? Why do they need to grind the video to a screeching halt just to plug the merch store? This is an extra AD in EVERY VIDEO beyond the intro and outro ads and the referral links in the description.

what I don't understand is people defending this, if Television increased ad spots by 30% there would be outrage, yet it's OK to do it because it's Linus? Seriously you need to stop brown nosing Linus.

Again i'm NOT SAYING to NOT have Merch (I personally have one of the OG Techlinked Tape shirts), i'm saying to STOP interrupting the flow of every video with the most shilly shill adspots of all time.

tried to give you guys another chance, but NOPE still SHILLING the F out of your merch in the middle of a video whether it makes any kind of sense or NOT!!!!

#EndTheMerchShilling

If your Merch is as good as you say you shouldn't need to advertise it in every fracking video, shillling at this level makes it feel like it's garbage and you are trying to move it all before enough people buy it and find out how garbage it is.

here is a video that walks you through the basics of how to tell:

The TL;DW is basically if your GPU's don't exceed 80-90% usage while gaming then you are being bottle necked by the CPU.

in most loops your GPU in/out would be backward but as I understand it because of how Corsair designed the GPU block it doesn't really matter.

I'm more concerned about the clickbait. Every time I see it, I want to unsubscribe from LTT. Linus keeps promising he's going to stop, but then releases videos with these kinds of titles and doesn't change it until enough people complain, always claiming it was an "accident". The original title of this video was "DOUBLE your Laptop Battery Life - This Method Actually Works!"

DO IT, it's so much better in the land of not constantly having LTT Merch shilled in every video and nothing but sponsored videos that aren't clearly labeled all week long.

ADDING a second battery is not doubling your battery life, it's doubling your battery capacity. #CLICKBAIT #ThisIsWhyIStoppedWatching

Does it block the merch ads LTT incorporates into every video? if not then it doesn't block all ads.
