Hey folks! Long time no see! I'm having issues with a computer my friend bought a few years ago. Specs are as follows: i73770K 16GB of DDR3 (Cosair Vengence) AsRock Z77 Extreme 3 Corsair HX750 PSU Radeon R9 380 (Not sure what brand, might be XFX) 3 drives: Samsung 860 EVO 500GB, ST4000DM004-2CV104, and a WDC WD1002FAEX-00Y9A0. (The ST has both it's 0A (spin retry count) and B8 (unkown) highlighted yellow in HD Tune 2.55.) ISSUE 1: Computer refuses to boot up, it gets to the spinning circles when windows is loading and then it freezes. Holding the power button down for 5 seconds and then turning it back on seems to help it boot fine. ISSUE 2: Computer wont boot up due to a 0xc000000f Error, restarting the computer will work. ISSUE 3: Blue Screen during playing games (some include: Apex Legends, 7 Days To Die, Dying Light, Dead By Daylight) Haven't been able to recover a BSOD Dump, with error 0xc00000f and another one i can't remember/can't find a photo of, according to my friend it's mostly just the 0xc00000f that occurs, the other one hasn't happened for a while. apparently this has never happened, never mind... ISSUE 4: Computer locks up/freezes with a black primary display and the second display flashes different colours. Usually occurs during gaming, not light loads like web surfing. THINGS WE'VE TRIED: Windows reinstall Switching out RAM, PSU, CPU, MOBO, GPU with known working parts from my old rig, same issue (of freezing at loading dots during boot) Tried Switching the ports the SATA cables from the OS drive, along with the cables, no joy. Tried clean install of drivers Tried different ram slots Tried one stick of RAM Tried a different slot for the GPU Not sure what else we've tried... Here's the last 250 events from the event viewer, not sure what to make of it. Also included a performance report, which may be helpful. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LTUmQly3Vcrfp5A0RD2dBXl24EqNnmli/view?usp=sharing Let me know if i missed something... It's been a long pain this computer.... Thank you!

Usually female I suppose i have a easier time styling them and the outfits can be more interesting (And admittedly more revealing at times) I suppose it's just the beauty i see? ? I like shooting women more IRL than guys as a photographer as well

I think Linus would be a great photographer TBH, He has the ideas and a good enough eye for it IMO. I would love to personally teach him how to use a more common Sony Camera and then see what he can do with it. I would love to see a part 2 of this, and see some more cameras from 2 different price points and a control "Professional with professional gear" contestant. If you guys need another photographer, call me

Hey guys Specs: Some Asrock board (will get model tomorrow) 3770k R9 380 Corsair Vengeance 2x4gb TX750w psu X2 ssds X3 HDDS (irrelevant) What's happening is: Earlier my friend restarted their computer, only to have it freeze on the windows boot logo with the spinning circles, then it the computer turns off. Windows boots in safe mode, but not normally. We tried a bunch of various edits and repairs with cmd, but nothing works. We even tried installing windows on a new never used hard drive and the same thing happens. We tried leaving out one of the sticks of ram, same thing. I'm thinking this could be a motherboard issue? Dunno what i missed... Will update when I wake up... Thanks

Temps are likely fine, I haven't exactly checked them but everything still sounds okay XD

Hey guys! Recently I've been edit lots of video and have run into a issue where videos will seemingly render fine for the first minute or so of the video then render completely red.... I've also noticed a difference in stability when using hardware acceleration compared to software acceleration (software accel is more stable) So figuring it was my GPU i took it to Memory Express for an exchange. Dropped it off, came back the next as they needed to test it... I wasn't issued a replacement as 3D performance was fine, i mentioned that it was the way the card behaved in professional environments was where it was having issues. I was transfered to the tech who explained that the card was fine and that the problem lies within other components in my system, i was asked what CPU i have and was told that my CPU (3770) was likely too slow to keep up with my graphics card hence the red frames. How true is this? I'm starting to think it's a RAM problem, which i can troubleshoot but haven't yet, if that doesn't work then I suppose I'll be looking at buying a new system (is LGA2066 a good idea to keep my upgrade path open?) (system specs: 3770, Asus P8z77-v PRO, 16 Gb of Hyper X fury ram and 16 gb of Corsair vengeance) And to make matters worse when i was picking up my card one of the peeps working there made the one who was holding my GPU in the box drop it... Not q big deal except the box opened before it hit the ground leaving the power connector area unprotected for the carpeted floor... *sigh* I hope it's okay...

Mhmmm... That is a good point. I might just go EVGA then, and once my card eventually decides to crap out, get an RMA, flip the RMA card and get a new one. Thanks!

I was looking around, I don't remember Zotac, but i don't think it was 5 for the cards i was looking at. EVGA Does have 3. Aorus has 3 but you can get an extra year for signing up. EDIT Zotac has a 5 year warranty, seemingly only in EU/USA? Not Canada

Budget isn't too fixed, anywhere from 900 to 1600 Canadian Rupees. I specifically want the Aorus Models as they have the longest warranty (And that is something that I'll eventually need to use, apparently >.>) Thanks

I'm in the market for a new GPU, I'm technically upgrading from a GTX 970. Looked around and saw the AORUS RTX cards but can't seem to find them anywhere... I'm assuming they're not released yet, any word on release/Canadian release?

Hey guys, Boy has it been a while LOL I'm looking for some headphones that have a similar freq. Response to Apple Earpods and that won't put any pressure on your head (like the AKG M220s) Price would be under 100CAD, must be lightweight and must not put much pressure on your ears/head

I saw this earlier yesterday on their Twitter and forgot to dive in deeper as I didn't know whos working on Anthem. I find when studios loose devs to be a lot sadder than losing a celeb or someone similar... I wonder how this will affect the development of Anthem, hopefully, it can still keep going and be even better than ever Source: http://blog.bioware.com/2017/07/31/remembering-corey-gaspur/

I'm sure @CPotter knows which one I'd choose... Great day today bud!

I haven't done this in a while, sooo bear with me while I get the hang of this again "Ads that appear in immersive VR environments can not only provide more effective impressions, they can also track whether the users have viewed them or have turned away their gaze. Accordingly, the multiplied effect of effective impressions and verified viewings will bring you higher advertising revenue!" HTC explains. Advertisers will only pay for ads after they've been viewed, according to Business Insider. Some of the formats they will use include loading scenes, 2D and 3D in-app placements, app recommendation banners, and big screen video. "Compared to ordinary ad impressions, ads that are seen by users in an immersive VR environment can not only meet the user’s needs by means of precise re-targeting, but can also be detected if they are viewed effectively by users," HTC states. "Therefore, promotion of your applications would have a much more effective impression, which not only arouses the attention of potential users and enhance the brand image but further attracts interested users directly to download your apps in the VR environment!" Soooo, It seems like in-game billboards will have actual ads that work now? That's an interesting way of monetizing that space But as mentioned in the article, these ads will only be implemented into games hosted on VivePort. Please note that Devs would have to Opt-in and implement SDKs to show ads in their games. As long as this is executed well, I reckon this would be kinda cool; Buuuuut, so far it doesn't seem like there's a big chance of that happening. Is Valve just showing their greed or am I not thinking deep enough into this? A new age of advertising is upon us folks. Seems like Valve/HTC is wanting to become the Google of the VR market?

I reckon a PS4 is a better choice as they're not going to be moving their games to PC anytime soon... But a Xbox One S would be a nice purchase if you want a plug and play entertainment box

Yep, tried DP & DVI. Restart doesn't help.

Yep. Artifacts from the moment it displays an image.

I've finally bought a new monitor, a Asus P8258Q I was about to go to sleep, left to brush my teeth... And came back to this....... *Sigh* I'm not sure what could be causing it but it gets worse if you push the monitor from the bottom of the screen (Tilting it toward you) and the issue goes away if you tilt it upwards... I haven't had this issue before, it's not my graphics card as the artifacting would show up in a screenshot right...? I've tried different cables but it hasn't helped. It also happens during monitor boot and when using the OSD. Pictures below show the difference between pushing and pulling (lightly of course) and not touching it at all. Not touching: Pushing: and pulling (Which fixes it, as does tilting it too far back. I Somehow managed to fix it for a minute or two but the problem came back.... EDIT: Well then... touching the screen wasn't a good idea...

Google. Follow the recipe LOL

If you like MMOs... Black Desert is very pretty and fun...

Catgirls....!?!!?!

We don't know It depends on a few things. all we can really say is, you're going to have to try and see what numbers you get.
