CaptainMI reacted to Dat Guy in Really quick question
Congratulations on your well-earned title of the Worst Topic Title Of The Year.
No, it is not possible as there is no reliable way of predicting such data. There are no two mass storage devices with the exactly same number of write cycles before their death. There is SMART, but it won't predict things like "three more writes to go".

CaptainMI got a reaction from Cyberspirit in Noob questions about Oracle VM Virtualbox.
You can't directly use your Video card in the VM.
You can passthrough USB devices but not your video card as the VM would need full control of the Video Card which your PC's OS will not give, because then your main OS will lose it's video card and would not be able to display anything.
Still, PCI and PCIexpress passthrough is a relatively new technology and requires dedicated hardware support (IOMMU called VT-d by intel and AMD-vi) and you would need a video card which is not being used by your host OS.
Even then you could run in a lot of problems as it is all quite advanced stuff.

CaptainMI got a reaction from DrMikeNZ in [HELP]Asus H81-plus:"USB device over current status detected will shut down in 15 seconds"
USB headers are at the bottom of the motherboard
are there any cables connected to these headers.
Check if any pins are bent and touching each other.

Resource Tuner is another one.
But last time i checked, this one had really bad reviews.

CaptainMI got a reaction from Omseik in Windows 10 Partitions Issue
It looks like you tried to add unalocated space of the disk to a partition which occupied space after the unalocated space, which is not possible in a basic disk. Every partition in a basic disk can only occupy space in a continuous manner, so you only extend it with contiguous free space, not with free unalocated space before it. This can only be done with a dynamic disk. Windows must have asked you to convert your basic disk into a dynamic disk and when you click OK, it did. This is fine, you don't need to worry as dynamic disk allows you to do advance stuff like making a partition span multiple disks.
The colour is now yellow because all the volumes are now "Dynamic Volumes".
And yes you do have 2 partitions which are only one as "1->E:Steam" part of your "E:" partition is the appended to your "2->E:Steam" partition, that is, your "E" drive starts on your HDD from "2" and ends on "1". This non contiguous nature of your E drive requires your disk to be Dynamic.
Hope this solves your doubts... :-)

No, there won't be any performance issues, windows can generally manage this stuff quite well.
Still if you want to make it a single partition, you have to delete both the partitions of "E" (backup the data first, of course ) and then create a new single partition. Also, you can't delete the 2nd E: partition(390gb, the one on the right), before the 100gb (one on left) because your E: partition starts from the 390gb partition.

Great! Thank you for your help.
Probably I will leave them like this if they will not cause me any problems.
