@KirasNote, I couldn't find a fix, ended up uninstalling Chrome then reinstalling it. I reset my computer quite often since I have everything cloud-sync'd. So, I can't remember if I had to reinstall Windows to fix this issue or not.

EaseUS seems to have a program to do anything you need. What are your opinions on their software and the company?

Are peltier or thermoelectric coolers like this or this actually effective? Are there any better solutions to lower temperatures without using liquid metal?

I'm building my wife a computer for her desk and the AKLLA A5 Black Mini ITX Computer Case seems to be the best for what she wants: Small and ascetically pleasing that doesn't look like a computer. In the end if I can't find it, we'll go with the NZXT H1 V1 with an upgraded riser or a Louqe Raw S1, but I really like that the AKLLA can have I/O out the top.

I don't recall changing any Windows or Google settings but now I am being forced to insert my security key when trying to autofill credit card data in Chrome even though I don't have a security key and have never set one up before. I have 2FA enabled on my Google account with prompts and SMS, but no security keys. I have 'For improved security, only allow Windows Hello sign-in for Microsoft accounts on this device' disabled, as it was enabled but the Windows security prompt still comes up. This is so frustrating because Chrome will not autofill my credit card information without Windows approving it. Why is Windows even a part of this? Absurd. It started a while ago asking for my log on PIN, then it was asking for a security key but allowed me to change it to PIN, and now it's security key only.

Starting off, I don't know much about overclocking or tuning. After running 3DMark's Port Royal benchmark, I'm only getting 8500 which seems really low compared to an average of 11420 and high of 12769 (personal, global). I've been messing around with MSI Afterburner (my settings) but it's really getting me no where. I'm on VBIOS F21, enabled Resizable Bar, have fully updated drivers through GeForce Experience, and running 3 separate 8-Pins from my 1300w PSU. Does anyway have any suggestions to at least get to an average Port Royal score?

As said, what are the best or your favorite troubleshooting and stress testing applications? eg: GPU-Z, Ventoy, Hiren, Falcon, etc. Bonus points for an explanation of the program, use case, and why you're sharing it.

Is this possible? I have a spreadsheet to track username availability. PlayStation recently changed the way profiles are displayed online, so I want to start using PSNID.World. I don't want to have to copy-paste all the different usernames, so I want to create a hyperlink that will auto add text to the automatically selected text field when you go to PSNID.World. It'd also be nice if it also then hit Enter but I'd assume that's not feasible. Any ideas?

No, I'm aware of SmartDeploy. I thought it started with an A, and I'm pretty sure Linus himself did the spot. I've been trying to look back at old content, but I can't find it.

In a recent video, they had a remote support sponsor that wasn't Pulseway, SmartDeploy, TeamViewer, or anything they had before. It was a new remote program. What was it?

Compared to running the GTX 780 at Gen3 and full x16, what expected performance loss would I have running it at Gen2 with only x4? B450-F Gaming, Ryzen 5 2600X, DDR4 16GB 3Ghz.

Someone local assumes the new chipset just isn't putting as much power to these ports as the older rigs chipset. Regardless, I don't think I'll ever get a real answer. Thank you @Kilrah for offering causes and change solutions. This thread can be closed.

If both top ports were merged into one cable, that plugged into the only USB 3.0 header internally, would it be possible for them to be on different root controllers?

Listing says 2.0. I doubt I'm getting HD, but I don't care. But it did handle both just fine on the previous build. Separate controllers may resolve an issue, but not mine. I'm trying to figure out why they won't work in these two ports, as it did previously.

I have 2 cheap capture cards that are confirmed working independently in the new rig and worked together in the old rig. In the old rig I had both dongles plugged into the top ports, connected to the motherboards internal USB3.0 port. Both cameras showed in OBS Studio flawlessly, displaying at the same time with no issues. Now, I have both dongles plugged into the tops ports again, connected to the motherboards internal USB3.1 port. Both the case and the mobo port are classified as USB3.1. However, the cameras will not display at the same time. If I activate one camera then the other, the second camera will not display a photo. If I deactivate the first then activate the second, it appears perfectly. I cannot get them to both work at the same time. If one camera is active anywhere the other won't display. It seems to me the USB pipeline just isn't able to handle both USB2.0 devices at the same time. But then why would it work flawlessly in my older USB3.0 rig?

Downgraded OBS Studio, in case it was a new version issue and it isn't. Attempted showing one in the Windows camera app and one in OBS, to the same result. Disabled Legacy USB Support, same results. Disabled XHCI Hand-Off, same results. Enabled/Disabled CSM, same results. Tested on Windows 10 and Window 11, same result.

Got it. Old AF and probably pulled too much with only 4 pins. No over-clocking as it's a pre-built with very limited BIOS, but this is the max CPU officially supported by the MoBo. I assume the MoBo is gone so I'm in the process of trying to find something else. However, if I re-terminated the damaged 4-pin, would you trust the less-than-year-old Thermaltake Smart 700W to be in working condition and safe? (I am looking to get a replacement through Thermaltake ERMA, but I don't have high hopes)

My computer was randomly freezing, then wouldn't display anything. Assumed it was the CPU when troubleshooting, to then discover the smoked-black 12V line during disassembly. Any suggestions for why this has happened or what I can do in the future to hopefully prevent this? Windows 10, M3970AM-HP AMD 970, FX-8350 (125W), GT-780 (250W), Thermaltake Smart 700W.

Any suggestions for a Ubiquiti competitor that has a quality aesthetic and cover similar avenues? (ie: networking, cameras, access, etc)

I successfully installed Plex Media Server on my headless Debian server, but I am having trouble tunneling to it so that I can complete the initial config of Plex. I'm using KiTTY, entering my VM external IP as the destination host, the source port at 8888, and destination as localhost:32400. After opening it asks for a login, and no matter what I enter it states that "no supported authentication methods available." I've also added a firewall exception of 0.0.0.0/0:8888 and attached it to the VM. Can anyone help?

I need to run mic audio to my PlayStation with line audio going back to my computer. I've been using a basic USB analog converter to my computer but there is quite a bit of noise back and forth. Was hoping going USB all they way would keep out the interference but it seems what I'm looking for doesn't actually exist... Suggestions besides an isolator or DAC?

I popped it in a Dell Optiplex 390, and no dice. Hoping it's a card issue, it'd be easier to replace. Updating the bios to A14 to verify.

So, @SlayerOfHellWyrm, you're pretty much saying I'm SOL. Was hoping for some better news... I am looking to update the BIOS, so any suggestions besides HP Assistant are appreciated. It's a Gigabyte board but because it is OEM an update is hard to find...

I am attempting to install a Magewell XI400DE-HDMI Gen1 PCIEx4 capture card, however nothing I do brings it up in device manager. Help? Verified all slots working with an Elgato HD60 Pro. Most troubleshooting involved the Magewell in the x16 slot. Changed settings for; Legacy Mode, Slot Security, Secure Boot, SERR Generation. Attempting to install drivers from Magewell, here, results in the installation erroring "Can't Find Adapter" and closing. The card becomes warm, and no diodes or chips appear damaged.

My spanned volume on secondary drives keeps disappearing, seemingly becoming inaccessible when the computer idles. When I load DiskMgmt.MSC it automatically comes back as if nothing is wrong. Power management is set to never power off drives. It's my Plex Server so when it disappears Plex stops working. I believe it has something to do with the "Spanned Volume" part as I have an identical server with a hardware raid secondary drive that never disappears. Any advice, besides upgrade to Win 10?

I'm looking to play a prank on my office. I don't have access to the network settings, but I do have access to the server rack, and in turn the gateway wan. I'm trying to figure out a way to make everyone's browser redirect to a funny video when they attempt to surf, thinking hijacking the DNS would be the easiest solution, if I can find a device that I can put inbetween the the router and it's modem. Any other ideas or digital pranks are appreciated.
