i would like to believe that's the case. i just learnt earlier today that when i swtich windows, from full screen window to chrome or teams or whatsapp etc, i'd lose signal too. is that also a common triggering issue for GPU overheating? thanks

hey guys, i'm not sure where's the right place to ask. i recently moved and had my setup finalized. i have been running gtx 3060 for a while connected to the xiaomi 34 monitor with no issues in the past. after the move, when running bf2042, i would lose signal from the gpu occasionally. the pc still works because the background programs will still have sound, i think the game crashed because no sound from that comes out. it started out being an outdated driver, which i have udpated to 516.94. the game would run. after a while, it would still lose signal. i hear a window popup, but i can't see what the issue is. i'm not sure how to retreive that error and address it. i since have been adjusting the video settings too. when i change the refresh rate from 144hz to 50 or 60hz, that's also when i run into the same lost signal from GPU issue, and then i have to restart the computer again. so i have been able to isolate the issue being something about the GPU and the video settings. but i dont know what the issue precisely is. would anyone know how to fix this or have experience with this issue? thank you everyone

Hi everyone. I reported audio lagging/stuttering issues on my Asus G15 on reddit and stumbled across this thread a while back when trying to find a fix: With the regedit fix and power mode modification, I am still getting random stuttering. Has anyone been able to turn of fTPM on their laptops? Thanks

Hey guys, so I've recently upgraded to a new build, which runs on AMD 5950x + 3060 GPU. I have a HDMI connected to a Dell monitor, and DP onto a BenQ monitor (in portrait mode). Geforce drivers running on 466.77 version. My situation is that when Chrome/Word/etc are opened in the Benq monitor, the top bar flickers intermittantly. I have tried turning off hardware acceleration to no avail. Meanwhile, the applications opened in the Dell connected via HDMI has no issues. I have yet to try the connection with HDMI instead of DP as I don't have a spare HDMI cable. I hope this could be the simple shortcut solution. I hope to resolve this however as I am looking to increase the number of screen, which inevitably will be via DP. I have read similar experiences with the latest GPUs over the last 12 months from the 20s-30s Nvidia GPUs, but I haven't found anyone whose reported a relatively successful workaround. I was wondering how people manage this. TIA.

Thanks for that. Wonder why surface pro 7 doesnt support LTE....

I want to get a Windows device on the go that is LTE supported (meaning I can add a sim card and use the data there like I do with a smartphone, my understanding is right?) Are surface pro and books supported? Thanks

well yes. which is why I reached out in the forum After years with XP and 7, I refuse to believe that Microsoft has made a plug and play solution lol

So I want to move to a different mobo. I have seen quite a few recent threads that Windows 10 64bit isn't like the old Windows 7. I don't have to reinstall everything. It is a plug and play, set and forget solution, PROVIDED that you link your account beforehand, replace the CPU and/or mobo. Turn it on, and "everything" is there. Here's a few threads/sites I've visited, posted in the past 3 years: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1024507-motherboard-upgrade-without-reinstalling-windows/ https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1117865-change-motherboard-without-reinstalling-windows/ https://scottiestech.info/2017/02/26/upgrade-your-motherboard-without-reinstalling-windows-10/ My PC is sort of center for our home theater/network, which I really depend on it given the work from home situation. It is for gaming and productivity. I don't want any additional trouble for data loss. I have designed this by having an m.2 with OS and all applications, and an SSD drive for dropbox, gaming, downloads, and then another larger HDD for long-term storage, thinking that one day if I do any upgrades, I will just move the SSDs/HDDs, and wipe the m.2 to the new machine. I only learnt of this method today. Windows has really made great strides. My PC account is a local account and I have activated it using KMS back in 2016. My question is whether/can Microsoft recognize the licence, and allow me to reactivate it (in time) during my switch to a new mobo. Will network settings, file sharing settings and app settings (ie. anti-virus settings, accounts still signed in) be alright straight out of the box? Once I unlink it, can I run on KMS again? What if I don't unlink it? Thank you

Hi guys, what is the latest KMS version and safe link to download? after a recent update, i have been receiving a notification that the licence is going to expire. is there a way around this? thanks!!

Thanks. a quick follow up: What about docks made for apple? will there be any compatibility issues? Thanks

Hi all I know most USB C docks are intended for laptops. Due to space contraints of the new office, my desktop which will be placed far away from me. I thought about using a USB C dock to bridge the distance (like this one....https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Monitor-Adapter-450-AEUO-4W2HW/dp/B01C8PHWQY?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_2&th=1) I need a longish USB C cable, and i dont mind having the dock externally powered. I could use a few good recommendations. My first question is how well do non-Dell hardware work with Dell components like these. The other is that I have noticed that some docks have the feature to charge the (mobile) device when plugged in. Would that harm my desktop? Thanks everyone.

Yes pls Thank you very much. I greatly appreciate it

I don't plan to go with that. Will go ahead with your suggested m.2 on mobo idea. I'm simply asking because I wanted to learn.

Oh, I didn't know that. That sounds great. I'll look into it. Thanks!! Perhaps you could teach me more about the PCIe lane issue, since I haven't been keeping up with tech hardware loop. Would the (theoretical) speeds and performance be affected had I gone done the original route?

I'm a bit outdated on the hardware news. Is Asus the only maker of this particular type of card? Who else makes them and is it only on x299 and x399 I would like to have 2 x 1TB m.2, 2 scratch disks for 2 types of work. One big one for storage "How much sotrage do you need? Whats the rest of the build." Probably 5tb. ROUGHLY 3TB + 1 + 1
