You might need to RMA the memory.

Run this one afterwards: https://www.memtest86.com/

no you can't, unless you test it, but it definitely looks like it could be. 
 
PRO tip: don't leave your computer check this screen for the results... because in my experience this will not whatsoever display any error logs after its done... 
 
(had this one too once, I did start it manually however... my ram isn't faulty... but yours might, who knows) 
 
PS: for me it was a windows "bug" resolved by simply reverting an update with my backup (the windows internal revert update function will *not* fix these issues typically) running fine since then... win 10 1809 (the best version™) 
 
Is this windows XP? It's been a while, still looks great though! 
 
 
 
PS: I really hope it's your RAM, otherwise this'll be a pain to troubleshoot... 

True, if it's just one stick you can use the other... although typically if you RMA they will require both sticks... 
 
I just meant easiest to troubleshoot, not necessarily to replace, sorry, I know it can suck trying to get new parts currently... prices seem to keep going up too!  o.o

How can I be 100% sure its the memory though.
Fyi: Still doing the test, almost 50% done

Sorry I didn't see this post sooner but if you're looking for info about XLR setups and the hardware options you might want to take a look at the link in my signature, I designed it prettymuch solely to completely answer this question as simply as possible.

As for cheap setup, UMC202HD and Behringer C2 is my usual go-to, it's a condenser so it will pick up some background noise but it's also highly directional so it will ignore most things it's not directly pointing at. In any event, you should take a look at the link, it runs through the hardware options and has a list of some of my most often recommended gear.

you can try https://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Audio/Other-AUDIO-Tools/ViPER4Windows.shtml
Viper4Windows has most of the outboard stuff you'll use and latency settings to cut down the delay (I haven't noticed any) 
 
Focusright will also have built in software for the interface which definitely has most things, might not have a compressor though. 

well worth the wait if they can get it in. it's one of the "historical" mics you'll end up keeping long after upgrading everything else in the setup

compressor takes the loud parts and reduces how loud they are, it doesn't ever increase the volume of the quieter sounds but it can allow you to increase the quiet sounds without blasting the loud sounds. 
 
Basic EQ will come with the mixer, typically a treble and bass knob but sometimes you can get a midtone as well. There's also software versions which give you much much more control. same with compressors, digital is definitely the way to go with these as plugins for your software instead of expensive outboard gear. 

As long as nothing except the USB cable is against the case it should be fine.
 
ahh ok. I guess I've been living in the past lol.

that's not going to be a problem with XLR based on how the cables are designed. 
3 pins, a neutral, a positive and an inverted signal plus shielding around the cable (it's known as balanced cables) input signal and the inverted signal allow any noise or interference to be cancelled out, and even that is less likely because of the wire wrap shielding around the cable

only condenser microphones require phantom power, it's 48volts provided to the microphone's plates to give them a charge. Dynamic mics (eg Shure SM58), Ribbon mics (not applicable to your requirement as monster $$$) don't require phantom power. dynamic mics won't be effected if you happen to mistakenly turn it on but ribbons are normally toast if you do. 
 
this is correct, the microphone through an XLR cable will send signal to a pre-amp (exactly what it sounds like an amp before the mixer's controls, normally built into the board) this is what "gain" refers to, it's the amplification amount you are adding to the mic's signal. 99% of mixers will have this save for a few recording board and obscure things which are very hard to find nowadays. 
 
it can be, with a giant "depending on what you are doing" notation. for the basic streamer/musician/vocalist/podcaster etc etc a basic audio interface with an XLR preamp and a usb is the perfect starting place. 
you will need:
- An audio interface with USB
- Microphone 
- XLR cable
- Mic stand/holder of some kind
 
I have a soft spot for Presonus gear so this is their basic audio interface, gets you 2 XLR inputs with independent controls

Focusright does the same thing
https://www.amazon.ca/Focusrite-SCARLETT-SOLO-3RD-GEN-USB-Audio-Interface/dp/B07QR6Z1JB/ref=sr_1_5?crid=3RGQ0BVV18Z4W&dchild=1&keywords=xlr+audio+interface&qid=1601084194&sprefix=xlr+audio%2Caps%2C197&sr=8-5
 
for microphones Rockville works well to start but after 100$ it jumps to 400+$ and the quality is higher
https://www.amazon.ca/Rockville-Microphone-Capacitors-RCM-SR/dp/B07ZJZV5LP/ref=sr_1_17?dchild=1&keywords=xlr+condenser&qid=1601084553&sr=8-17
this is a condenser mic so it does need phantom power which the interfaces have a button to activate
 
you can also get Shure SM58's, 57's for a bit cheaper (check used sites for like 29ish$ for a lightly used SM58) each microphone will change the sound slightly, some will bring out warmth and give you smoother jazz tones, others will be more sharp for harsher sounds. basically it's a matter of your ear and a combination of hundreds of settings and EQ settings will change more for what you want than switching microphones. lots of trial and error. 
 
XLR cables are pretty cheap, most mics come with one already which should be just fine. 
 
mic stands are based on your layout, tripods work well if you have desk space but arms are much more versatile 
https://www.amazon.ca/Eastshining-Adjustable-Microphone-Suspension-Microphones/dp/B076ZKGZ5X/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=mic+desk+mount&qid=1601085041&sr=8-5
 
overall you are looking at around 250$ for a starting position to upgrade later as your needs grow. 
there's also some (very few) mics which have internal converters and output to USB 
https://www.amazon.ca/Microphone-MAONO-Condenser-Streaming-Recording/dp/B07T2Z126V/ref=sr_1_47?dchild=1&keywords=xlr+condenser&qid=1601084553&sr=8-47
this gets you the whole setup in one box but is not upgradable without later getting a mic, cable and interface but it will give you better audio than a 3.5mm mic and internal mic input. 
 
that is too broad of a question to answer in a forum, to get started you can look into compressors, gates, efx boxes, reverb, preamps, independent EQs, de-essers, auto-tuning, vocal synth units, the list goes on and on and on and each one has a separate purpose depending on what you want to do to the mic signal. 
 

 
all of this can be for a single mic depending on how much you modify before turning it digital. it's completely unnecessary for your purposes until you have learned the interface settings and have experienced a few different mics and want to start upgrading.
that's all before you go digital and can add even more virtual effects and changes before it hits the stream. 
 
don't even worry about the outboard gear (the stuff between the mic and the pre-amp) just get something to start learning and in a few years of trial and error you'll understand what other gear you will want (if any) for your specific use.  

Only condenser mics need that. Dynamics don't. afaik most broadcast mics are dynamic
 
it can. From the xlr out to the mixer/preamp, then out via usb (most of the time) to a computer.
 
The main ones are a mixer (multiple inputs for a single output most the time), a preamp (usually less inputs for lower end ones, usually has better amps [cleaner, less static when gain is cranked]), and an 'activator' (it doesn't have a standard name afaik) which uses phantom power to help with gain for dynamic mics. It's almost a requirement for hard to drive mics like an SM7B or an Electro Voice. There may be others, but they aren't common. I've never seen any others. For prices, at around $100 a preamp usually has good amps that are clean. Depending on the brand, mixers will have slightly worse amps at the same price, though if you need the inputs it'll be fine if you don't need high gain.
 
XLR is just a physical connector, like USB or 3.5mm. With a preamp or mixer (or even a XLR to 3.5mm adapters, but NEVER use those) you can connect with USB.
 
Due to covid, everything is more expensive. a Scarlett solo (one input, one out; the gold standard for cheap preamps) is about 110USD. A Scarlett 2i2 (2 in, 2 out; same amps in it I think so the same sound) is 160USD.
 
If it has problems, Audacity and Reaper are pretty good. Both are free (reaper says you need to pay for a license, though you can still use it after trial period)
 
I don't think I understand what you mean. Elaborate please

"works by polling your device..... your computer essentially ask your keyboard and mouse, hey watcha doin? watcha doin? watcha doin? and the keyboard or mouse will then respond, by saying for example: nothing, moving to the left..."
also from the forum guide:
your first statement doesnt really add up.
 

In short,
how USB mice work is not that they report their position back to the computer when they want,
instead the computer asks for its position and the mice returns it.
 
Polling rate is how many times per second that request is made.
 
Usually:
Higher polling rate = more updates = more data flow = potentially lower input latency

no idea what any of that means but glad to help even a little. 

You could just rename a zip or 7zip file and give it a .dll extension, or some other random extension ... optionally encrypt it with a password you hide inside your executable.
even if kids determine it's an archive, they'll waste days trying to recover a password?
 
See https://archive.codeplex.com/?p=sevenzipsharp

If you put it in a dll it will be accessible to anyone. Resources cannot be protected that way. It's is called security by obscurity. The only way to secure resources are either embed them in the compiled application, which create humongous executable or the best solution is to encrypt them.
 
I highly suggest the later. Encrypting is the best way to go. I would also make a zip file, uncompressed simply for single file access reasons and you can retain a tree structure in it. The way the resource is stored has no bearing on how to use it even if you are doing XAML. You can always have parametric control which load from a file in the background.

oh wow... wouldn't it be cheaper to import it from Germany or something then? iirc you only pay the VAT difference and shipping

ah, the xxx. sounds all good to me. 1060 performance with moar vram

yeah, they have something like nvidias nvenc, but I'm not sure how it performs
 
but still, it's a great save over 1060 6gb pricing, which it generally performs close to

no problem
 
if you got no further questions, you can mark it solved with that checkmark, which you can do on the (in your opinion) best comment
 
and I'd appreciate some likes

I guess that answers my question, tnx
