SCANNERMAN777

I've had to deal with this problem half a dozen different ways from Tuesday. Last night when I ran into it again on another PC I decided to take drastic measures and don the ANNIHILATOR persona. Here's what I did: 1. Go to "manage devices" in "computer". Find that nasty AMD00 yellow triangle or just look for the AMD00 driver. (Sometimes it will even disguise itself as "unknown driver". Uninstall it. Do not "disable", do not "update", do not "fix". Just uninstall it. 2. Go to Program Files and look for the ATI technologies file in case you happen to have one. Delete the entire folder. Now this assumes that you are not using an ATI gpu but even if you are you can always reinstall your "Catalyst Control Center" pain-in-the-buttocks program later, when you've finished ridding yourself of his corrupt driver. 3. Reboot your PC and then run PC CLEANER, ADVANCED SYSTEM CARE, or whatever program you use for cleaning out old registry entries you no longer need. *note* Malware Bytes may help somewhat but it likely will not get all unnecessary garbage that behaves like malware. 4, Reboot your PC again. You'll likely no longer encounter any blue screens caused by this very faulty driver that I've caught messing up more PCs than I care to recall having to deal with. If you merely uninstall this driver via device manager it will reinstall itself or attempt to reinstall itself and mess up your system all over again. You need to completely remove it. Somehow this ASUS SUITE program will "work" in conjunction with AMD Catalyst Control Center to make your life a misery. Don't let it happen. ASUS SUITE isn't essential to running a healthy, well-cooled, trouble free PC so why bother keeping it? Trust me. AMD00 Interface is more trouble than it is worth. I hope this helps and please let me know if it fixed your problem as it did for me.

iNDEED... Plus a little less because everyone has to make a living.

Welcome to Windows 10. Personally, I passed on the offer. You might want to check YouTube on restoring your drive and saving that lost data. I have seen some instructional videos there of that nature. I wish you the best.

I think you made a wise choice. Those industrial fans don't really get that noisy unless they're under extreme load. Plus you have a manufacturer dedicated to making quiet fans no matter what the application may be. It looks good to me and thanks for sharing. I might just get one myself

That's my advice. Take it or leave it. I don't even put operating systems on hard drives anymore. I'd find a way to get an ssd in my build even if it meant having to use old parts until i could afford new ones.

I'm just curious about how much you plan on staring inside your PC case and if you plan on show casing it. If the answer is not a lot I'd go with the standard yucky Noctua colours if I could find a fan that fit the build. Frankly, I don't know of many that beat the quality and performance of Noctua.

lol Beds are for horizontal. Chairs are for cognitive minds. Get an office chair that fits!

That's really not a bad little cooler for your build and personally I'd keep it if that was all my budget could handle. I don't recommend the hard drive however. WD Blues are not that great. Greens are even worse. Don't put your o/s on it whatever you do. SSDs are a good deal cheaper these days than they used to be. Put your o/s on that and link to your hard drive for data storage. You don't need much. My daughter uses a 120Gb SSD for games and programs and linked it to a 1TB Hd for music, pictures, and storage. She's been using it like this for two years with no problems.

I love those old cases. My 7 year old has my old Game Axe steel case and she won't let go of it for anything. She calls it her "bad kitty". I eventually had to drop a Z97 into it for her and she's quite pleased with the speed and ease of usb 3.0 changing out from an old LGA 775 board presented a few challenges but nothing worth sweating over. She totally loves the modding and more importantly gets to keep her "bad kitty". Seems all my daughters like the retro look and love towers. The legacy continues!

Personally, I don't much care for Windows Key logger edition aka Win 10 and I've heard all the arguments in defense of it. I even humored myself watching Barny on YouTube showing people each week how to get around the algorithms only to do another video update the following week to show people how to get around the algorithms ad infinitude. This is the dilemma we are facing with Intel these days it seems as they continue to pander to Microsoft and ignore legitimate distributions like Linux. I was shocked to discover that the new work station I'm putting together is also a Windows only unit. I never heard of a work station that did not support Linux so I never bothered to check. Shame on you, Asus! Such is the way with conglomerate monopolies . . . One hand washes the other. Fortunately we still get support for Win 7 but one year isn't much to look forward to and after that the tablet style operating systems come into play. If Microsoft only came up with an upgraded version of WIN XP (minus the spyware, Cortana, and bloatware they so love to dole out in the name of "convenience") I'd be happy to purchase it. But of course they have their fat cats to please and their back doors to keep open so I won't be holding my breath. Instead I'll just have to struggle with Win 8.1 until I can figure out how to make Linux work on an X99 work station that was never designed to work with Linux. Oh joy!

Because I wanted to point out that this chip did not really have much advantage over a 6850K and that for my purposes if it did not surpass it in 4 specific areas I wasn't interested. This seemed to generate a considerable amount of hostility resulting in the original poster resorting to ad hominems and other behaviour frequently typified by manufacturer fan boys. (Even though I didn't call anyone here by that label saving myself.) You would likely have to do some scrolling to get the full story. Have fun

And there it is. I couldn't have said it better myself. Personally (and I stress that this is a matter of personal preference) If their chip costs more than $600.00 Canadian I really don't see any functional or financial advantage to this:

Mr. Crab, you don't know that for sure and if weren't a better man I'd tell you to go crawl back under the rock you came out from. "Better" is merely your opinion and as I stated in an earlier post we've all been here before. AMD is notorious for generating claims about how great their chips are and when they're finally released the independent bench tests prove otherwise. For me, it will not likely be a better chip as even the stats they're currently boasting don't strike me as "better". 8 cores is not necessarily "better" and for most people (whether they know it or not) it isn't. A 6850K runs faster than a 6900K and I stated in my original post that if it didn't have my chip beat in FOUR areas I wasn't interested. Guess what. . . I'm still not interested.

Firstly, I didn't call anyone here an AMD "fanboy" except for yours truly. Secondly, If there are already 8 core processors that perform as good or better than AMD boasts (and there are) then AMD isn't saying much. Thirdly, the 8 core pissing contest is boring. There are very few domestic applications in existence that require anything greater than six cores so I don't really view this as much of an improvement. I still don't see the AMD advantage. If the best people can do is hurl ad hominems at me because they disagree with me then their petty little insecurities should be evident. This is very telling. http://ark.intel.com/products/94188/Intel-Core-i7-6850K-Processor-15M-Cache-up-to-3_80-GHz OKAY. So you love AMD. Get over yourself. I'm not calling anyone here names and I'm not the one getting my panties in a bunch over a maybe, possibly, but we really don't know "better chip". When the bench tests come we will see if I'm wrong and for all our sakes I hope I'm wrong. Time will tell.

You done yet?
