  1. There used to be win 7 installed on that SSD and system and it worked fine, I completely formatted the SSD before installing
  2. No, turned of turbo boost, overclocking, fast boot, and secure boot
  3. Yep, both the media creation tool and an iso that microsoft sent me directly, both didn't work
  4. 0xc0000221, 0xc000000f, 0xc0000428, 0xc0000098, 0xc0000225 are the constant error codes. The installation USB installs windows, but on reloading into the windows bootloader I receive these error codes. All of the error codes either seem to have something to do with the bootloader, boot manager, and kernel. I have tried: - Rufus - Mounting it directly with cmd - Updating the chipset and bios - Downloading iso from MTC - Creating a USB with the MTC directly - Downloading win 10 iso from tech support directly - Rebuilding the BCD - Fully formatting the USB and the SSD - USB 2.0 and 3.0 both on the header and the mobo, both on the SSD and a separate HDD - Using a disc - Doing a Disk Check - Doing memtest I have tried and successfully installed FreeBSD, Ubuntu, and Xubuntu without any problems I have been installing OS' for many years, and never have I encountered a problem like this. What am I missing here? Components: MOBO: Asus P8Z77-V CPU: Core i7-3770 PSU: Corsair HX750 RAM: Corsair Vengeance - DDR3 32GB 8x4 kit - 1333 MHz SSD: Samsung SSD 830 256GB USB: Sandisk Ultra 256gb - USB 3.0 USB 2: Gigastone 128GB - USB 2.0 OS: Windows 10 Professional - 64 bit Any help will be greatly appreciated
  5. Yea, go for it, Its just that I got used to the rebel series, but the 77d has a more professional layout, and it has a bit more features, so yea, go for it! And yes, a macro with that kind of zoom and aperture is a very great buy. It's a great camera, and it will serve you well!
  6. Sure, you can get a wide angle lense, its just that that is optional, but macro, telephoto, and prime lenses are the bare minimum lenses you need usually.( Thought usually you can get away with just a macro. Also, macro lenses almost always need a lot of zoom, anything between 50 and 200mm maximum zoom is preferred.)
  7. Yes, the telephoto lense is supposed to be 70-300, that is the optimum range, if you want some more range then you can get yourself a telephoto tube extender. When I said you shouldn't get a prime lense i meant that would be true if you could only get ONE lense, but if you get all three then you should be fine. The main disadvantages for a prime lense when shooting outdoors is that you usually need a vary large range of zoom in order to get the most optimal photos. For sure you could take any kind of photo with any of the lenses if you REALLY wanted to, but it would not really give you the best results. Another thing I forgot to mention is the software you should use. I recommend using RawTherapee as the photo editing software, and I swear by it. It is completely free, and it gives you absolutely everything that you get from adobe lightroom, and when it comes to a photoshop alternative, then I use GIMP. Although some people can afford the pricey pricetag on adobe products, I just think it is more reasonable to save money where one can do so, and when such AMAZING free alternatives exist, then it would be a sin not to use them. (P.S. if your computer is slow at loading photos or editing them and other stuff like that, that is because photo editing always takes a long time to load until you get a reasonable gpu and cpu. (P.P.S. if you have extra memory -2tb or more- on hand, then you should use the RAW file format. the image file is usually 4-5 times larger than JPEG, but it will save an incredible amount of information, which means that you won't lose quality in the image when you edit.)
  8. I have been taking photos with my 650D for 4 years, and let me tell you, the rebel series is still an insanely better better product; both for image quality, customer support, burst speed, and a SUPREMELY larger amount of lenses that are available. Many professional photographers have gripes with the rebel series - and to be clear, it is not a professional grade camera - but it will in fact last you many years and will serve its purpose as a camera that is better than any point and shoot or smartphone camera out there. I have took photos for numerous clients with my 650D, the quality of those photos is close to that of professional gear. The main difference with an entry level kit and a pro one is that one is that professional gear is easier to use thanks to the fact that is has more controls. Keep in mind that you will not have absolutely everything you will ever need in a camera, but the same applies to computers and the such; and in regards to the lense, just remember that the telephoto lenses are extremely beneficial to use when you can bring a limited amount of gear and you have a limited amount of time. I always recommend a zooming lens when it comes to landscape. It really depends on what kind of landscape you are shooting to decide how far your lens will zoom, but try to ALWAYS stay away from prime lenses when it comes to portraits. but it would be much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much better for you if you just save up 250 bucks and buy yourself a telephoto lense, a prime lense, and a macro lense. This will really open up our horizons for shooting photos. I say this mainly because I too thought I only wanted to shoot landscape photos in the beginning. So i ventured out and bought a telephoto lense and got on with it. But as the months passed, I realized just how many missed opportunities i had from only having one kind of lense. I have listed the two lenses and a camera kit that are best suited for photographer like you, this has basically everything you need for you that will last for years. (also don't fear using refurbished products, you will be using a lot of it if you do get into photography) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01535NNGY/ref=twister_B078LX8C49?_encoding=UTF8&th=1 https://www.amazon.com/Canon-75-300mm-Telephoto-Accessories-Pieces/dp/B018WN62NU/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1516296191&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=canon+telephoto+lens&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/Canon-Rebel-18-55mm-Deluxe-Bundle/dp/B017T9SN12/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1516296499&sr=1-4&keywords=canon+t6i+kit
  9. Thanks, I opened the case right now, and it turns out that it is dead, will keep in mind for future pc's
  10. My SD card reader on my M23AD asus tower is not reading. All the other IO is working fully. So I need any suggestions as to what is the problem and how I can fix it. I am a photographer and need the photos uploaded tomorrow. This is very time sensitive. The windows operating version is windows 10 64 bit. Please, I need the help. Thanks
