  1. Hi everyone, I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but I really need some help. Years ago I made an email account on https://unseen.is/ meanwhile they shut down business unfortunately, since that email email wasn't "mission critical" I wasn't too worried. While I was updating some of my passwords recently, I noticed that https://mail.unseen.is/ does redirect me to a page that is now owned by Zimbra? I tried to look into it and I found out a https://www.unseen.tw/ website that has the same look as the original one I signed up to. I tried to do some detective work to see what's what but I came up empty handed, I was looking for someone more clever than me that could have a look and tell me what is what, I don't wanna input my old credentials in any of those websites until I am sure they are legitimate, I would like to get those emails up and running again if it would be possible, any help would be appreciated.
  2. I just fixed it and I'll explain how for future reference. I enabled multi monitor on the Bios, under Integrated Graphics, then switched my HDMI cable from my GPU to the MB port. My screen then came to live (with a lot of artifacts, black dots flickering on and off) so from there I tried to update my GPU drivers using the provided "utility" which failed, and also caused the HDMI port on my MB to stop outputting a signal. I hooked the HDMI cable back on the GPU which "worked" with wonky resolution. I cleaned the GPU drivers, fetched the latest ones from the manufacturer website, installed them, everything is working.
  3. As the title says, after the last Window 10 update (the big developer one...) my computer boots to a "black" screen. It loads up as normal, with the blue icon and the rolling dots but then those freeze and stay on screen. The mouse shows up on screen and working, and if I move it around I can "interact" with my desktop (even if the only think I see is a black screen with the frozen boot Windows and dots logo) it will even change depending on what I'm hovering. I've tried restore point, fixing Windows start up, revert to previous build, nothing worked. I've also tried Win+P to try to change the the output that way, but that just makes the frozen screen and mouse go away and I never get them back no matter what options I try, I can only get the mouse back unless I force a restart by holding the power button. I've even tried Run > Explorer.exe to see if that would bring it to live, nada. I'm guessing it's a Windows service that's not starting, I should mention I can get into the bios no problem, and even get the CMD window by using the Repair function on the W10 installation thumb drive, I just need to know the commands to activate which ever service is not starting. I thought about opening up the case and unplug my GPU, but seeing the bios and even the mouse do show up on screen I don't think it's a GPU driver problem, rather a Windows one. Any help would be mostly appreciated.
  4. Hello everyone, I should start by apologizing since I'm sure this is one of those questions that shows up every 30 minutes on these forums, but my research hasn't turned out any satisfying answers, so I just thought I might ask here. With that out of the way, here's my situation. I've been running an i5 6600 non-k for about a year now with the stock Intel cooler (cue the ominous music) because my PC was build on a tight budget and I couldn't spare anything for an after market cooler at the time. Despite that I never had a problem reaching 3,8~3,9 boost clock speed at about 60~65 degrees Celsius under load and the stock cooler was keeping my CPU under 30C with light stuff like internet browsing. The problem is lately I've see on certain occasions 1 of the cores (while the others run normal) stuck at 800 Mhz, other times it's all 4 cores that get stuck at 800 Mhz. I've also seen it parked at 3,3 Ghz on occasion. Despite those oddities, what I've seen most lately is all 4 cores getting stuck at 3,6 Ghz when the CPU passes 45~50C. I know all of this are tell tale signs of thermal throttling, so I've been looking into CPU coolers. So far I've been looking at the Cooler Master Hyper 212 and the Noctua NH-D15. Now between these too I know this particular Noctua is better than that particular Cooler Master, BUT, it is also more than twice as expensive where I live. Not only that but the Noctua NH-D15 weighs 1320g, while the Cooler Master Hyper 212 is 465g, and they will have to stand on their side, I'm wondering if the main board could ever support that Noctua on it's side weighing in at well over 1kg. Now I' guessing the Noctua NH-D15 won't have twice to cooling power of Cooler Master Hyper 212 is 465g (or does it?) but I was wondering if it would keep the temperatures that much lower to justify twice the money since I cannot seem to find a good comparison. Because I know I might be suggested something in between those two, I can look into other options besides those two, even if I am some what limited to the products available in my country.
