  1. Hello, I turn to you in this grave hour in need of help or any idea of what could be preventing me from being able to connect TV to the laptop. The laptop in question is a bit older, lenovno ideapad y560 with dual graphics. The system went unusable after it for some reason, denied me admin rights. I was dealing with that for a day, no go, it wouldn't even let me make another account, nothing, couldn't install anything since i had no admin rights (was only used by me and had only my account) So, fresh install of Windows 10 solved that, but now the thing will not connect to my TV I searched far and wide for some legacy drivers for my on board Intel graphics, tried maybe 10 different drivers, nothing. Disabled the on board graphics and tried the dedicated gpu, nothing. Disabled dedicated gpu and tried only on board, nothing. Reverted Intel drivers, nothing. Reverted gpu drivers, nothing. Tried some newer drivers for both gpu and integrated gpu, those that did instal didn't help. Tried reinstalling windows 3 times, once formated the ssd prior, so I could try with fresh install, nothing. The cable is fine, the TV is fine, I already used this setup, but now it's not working. When i try to install the oem driver it either gives me an error that occurred while registering one or more components and does nothing, or doesn't even get to the setup, or finishes, but installs only intel turbo boost. I have no idea what else to do. Using this setup because I'm in quarantine and spending all my time in my room, so a working TV-laptop would be ideal Thanks for any input P. S. The cpu is intel i5 460m And gpu is ati mobility radeon hd 5000 series
  2. hello world i have this gtx780 lightning that for some reason went full speed and showed me dark screen i'm fearing the worst i know it's an old card, but it still holds it own and don't want to spend the money for new one just yet so anyway, here's what happened i was playing some game, not really that gpu intensive, when all of a sudden the fans got to 100% and the screen went dark then i tried resetting the computer, but that resulted only in the gpu going at 100% fan speed again, i could see the flash of lights on the back of the gpu (before they were constantly lit up)but they went out in a flash (pun intended) and nothing was detected by monitor after maybe 20 sec i hear the fans slow down again, but rev up to 100% right after (almost like the card was resetting itself) then i switched to on board graphics and went to device manager, with the gpu still in the slot, but there was no gpu listed i took apart the gpu, cleaned it, applied new thermal paste, reset the bios on the computer, tried booting gpu in regular bios and in ln2 bios, tried different pcie slots, tested it in another computer, plugged and unplugged the power cables several times, visually inspected the whole board under a microscope, to see if anything let the smoke out, but found no visual damage on the board i'm writing this, to see if there is anything i can do, before i bake it i figured i got nothing to lose, so why not, but i wan't to be sure i exhausted all other options first
  3. just gotta ask, any reason why the MIUI is terribad? i feel this phone got even worse treatment than the iPhone xs you're my go to channel for tech reviews and i wanted to hear your opinion on the pocophone and some more MIUI cons and pros and Xiaomi the Mi Mix 3 looks interesting as well, maybe give that a shot good job on the tutorial tho ? i guess ?
  4. remember the Sony vaio p series? had one when i was at college, was the nerd king back then, loved the little thing still regret selling it
  5. you do know how to live life, congrats!
  6. i'm pretty sure it's of internal affairs, which is the police and stuff but i'm so out of politics, for all i know those 2 could be the same
  7. on the front it reads "MVD", which is like ministry of the interior (KGB and stuff) on the face of the watch is the maker (Molnija) under that it says "15 kamienji" (15 stones/jewels) on the bottom is "sdelano v rossii" (made in russia) and on the back is what made me tingle it's a picture of kremlin (russian parliament) and the letters read "za zaslugi" (for merit) if it's real, you can just imagine some KGB guy getting it for some, probably morally questionable (at least that's what i imagine ), stuff he did all in all, nice find
  8. where did you get it? you know what it says on it? is it a replica, or a real deal? if real, price? i can read those letters and i know some russian, so i can translate it for you
  9. wut? you sure you quoted the right post?
  10. as an eastern european, where do you get the ideas that russia will attack us? most of the slavic countries have very good relationships with eachother, excluding croatia, but most of us get along pretty well, especially with russia russia recently had some military practices with serbia and belarus (i think, sure it was serbia) in serbia and i can't think there would be any hostility among us really ppl, i don't get it where you get this info, is western media really that bad?

  18. after my iphone 5s crapped itself after 6 months of owning it i went for the only reasonable option out there xiaomi mi5 naaaah i needed new phone really fast so went for something that was the closest to me and still at least somehow useable must say, so far, i'm glad the iphone shat itself into oblivion the 5s was my 2nd attempt at liking apple, after the original iPhone and this one was my last but was good while it lasted
