    Nvidia GPP

    I just heard about something that Nvidia has been working on claiming that it is supposed to help get GPU's into the hands of gamers and provide a level of transparency to their operations called the Nvidia GPP or GeForce Partner Program. This program from what I heard sounds like its pretty shady considering the youtuber I came across that covered the topic in this video found that in the interviewing of 7 companies that had been figured out to have signed on with the Nvidia GPP not 1 employee wanted to be acknowledge for fear of losing their jobs because they described the GPP as being the exact opposite of what Nvidia is publicly saying about the GPP and even went so far as to say some of the things are borderline illegal. I don't know just how illegal the things could be however I do find it extremely screwed up that all companies that sign on with Nvidia's GPP are being forced to align their gaming brand GPU's to only be Nvidia cards (like the guy says in the video, this means that if Asus was to sign on with the GPP you would no longer be able to get any more ROG AMD cards because Nvidia has banned that with the GPP contract). Now I don't know how anyone else feels about that but that is quite messed up if you ask me because everyone who knows anything about computers knows that Nvidia is already the major shareholder and their only real competition is AMD which if they manage to muscle AMD out causes us as the consumers to lose because they wouldn't have the competition to have to try to undercut causing the cards to stay affordable (as if they are now anyways) and they would outright be holding a monopoly on the market unless a major company like Samsung was to decide to drop some of their money into researching GPU technology and get into that market next to prevent Nvidia holding an entire market to themselves. Let me know what you guys think about this once you hhave checked it all out yourselves in the comments and maybe if you believe like I do that this would be a good topic for Linus to cover help me get through to him with the video about this topic and let him see that it is something that his followers would like to see some more research done on since he could get in touch with people that most anyone else cant because of him being an influencer.
  2. is bios set to boot from the hdd or ssd (depending on which you have os installed on) current system I'm on I encountered an issue similar because it was a salvage pc and within bios certain connections can be denied power and after I tore it down to inspect it I accidently hooked hdd on the wrong connection and had to swap it back to the correct one so maybe you have drives attempting to boot in wrong order
  3. what about the software side of things because I noticed you didn't mention a hdd and that's obviously a needed component to have the operating system on and if the hdd was a previous boot drive maybe try reinstalling the operating system with disc or usb media creation tool they also supply option for not just clean install but recovery to save anything that you may have had on the hdd
  4. I would select usb-fdd considering fdd and usb drives being commonly reffered to as flash drives
  5. ok well when your device is booting up before it starts windows you should see a screen where its posting to bios and during that screen normally you can see a couple options for pressing certain buttons to enter bios and another for boot options ( ex. f2 settings f8 boot menu) and you would want to make sure that under your settings the primary boot device is the hard drive in the system and also make sure that your bios can see your usb ports because I know in my bios menu I can deny bios from seeing them which would make the system ignore any device plugged in to any of them until windows loads up. then you would leave that and immediately enter the boot menu and tell the system to boot from the usb for that one time.
  6. if its using ddr2 generally speaking it's most likely a legacy system but did you check the usb drive before attempting the install to make sure the media creation tool properly downloaded to the usb should show an image that looks like a monitor if it loaded to the usb when you look at usb drive in file manager
  7. personally I have media creation tool on 16gb usb drive and I always plug into front usb ports and instead of making usb drive #1 boot device you'll want your hard drive set as #1 boot device and during boot up of device use boot options to boot from usb device for the one time only because when it restarts during installation if usb is main boot device will create endless install loop.
  8. if it had originally been connected to a Microsoft account and you were using that account password for log in it would've been easier because you could have simply changed password for Microsoft account on another device and when using Microsoft password for login the third party apps and flash drive methods have no effect
  9. like ryan said they are not ads but actual apps preloaded in windows 10 which most all of the can be uninstalled through settings by going to the apps section, finding the one you don't want there and simply telling it to uninstall. for the rare few that will not allow uninstallation you could simply unpin them from the start menu. no need to try running any codes or anything like that.
  10. its a networking issue not system. ive encountered the same thing on game consoles because of low bandwidth as well as being stuck with a dynamic ip which with dynamic ip's they change out at random times and if you have a lot of bandwidth being pulled the router wont always acknowledge the new dynamic ip and will continue to try using the old one which can actually cause loss of connectivity all together
  11. and there are ways of doing it even if the cpu is soldered to the socket however the cpu would then only be able to work on another board in which it has to be soldered to. there are tutorials on youtube of how this can be done although much more time consuming then a standard desktop cpu swap and in order to reuse cpu you would have to buy a solder stencil that would allow you to put your solder paste in the exact right spots.
  12. to cut all the bull out of the equation as long as the motherboard you intend on switching it into has an lga1150 cpu socket yes it is possible just don't forget that when doing something like this you always want to clean the old thermal paste off and put fresh thermal paste on before you install the cpu cooling whether it is an air cooling solution being a heat sink and fan set up or water cooling block.

  14. if you have an old driver it might not be supporting the graphics resolution for the monitors properly with the other one having been added in. you could also try telling the system from within the display settings to use the resolution that it identifies as recommended to see if it makes your experience any better.
  15. have you tried looking to see if maybe there were any driver updates available since then
