My new pc cant even stay in the bios page over 115 degree!!
Unimaginative Name replied to MeshDash's topic in Troubleshooting
Did you remove the sticker from the bottom of the cooler prior to installing? -
That, in theory, removes the GPU from suspected problems. Have you tried plugging in a laptop, game console, or something else into the same monitor input to see if it works? If a different device displays correctly, it's a computer problem. If the different device doesn't display, it's either the monitor or cable and then you should try a different monitor input.

Plug something else into your monitor too narrow down which piece of hardware is the problem. Something like a laptop or game console would work. If it's a PC problem (the laptop or console works with the monitor) and you have a system with integrated graphics. Remove the GPU and try the motherboard's display output to see if it's the GPU that's the problem.

Alphabetical Order C++ Recursive Function
Unimaginative Name replied to Unimaginative Name's topic in Programming
Note. The good fellers over at Stack Overflow have come to my rescue. bool abcOrder(movie m, mNode *ref, int i) { int data = NULL; //Gets key data and converts to lowercase as needed int newNode = m.getTitle().at(i); if (newNode < 97) newNode = newNode + 32; int refNode = ref->M.getTitle().at(i); if (refNode < 97) refNode = refNode + 32; //Compares key data at position 'i' if (newNode < refNode) { return true; } else if (newNode > refNode) { return false; } else { //If newNode.key == refNode.key, increment position and run again i++; return abcOrder(m, ref, i); } } On the third to last line, the recursive call needed a return preceding it. -
Background: I am writing a program that takes a list of data and parses it into a binary search tree. The key for this data is of type "string". I'm working on writing a boolean function that returns "true" if the key of the data to be added precedes the key of the data in the reference node, "false" if the new key succeeds the old, and recursively runs back through the function, incrementing by one position, should the characters in question be equal is ASCII value. Currently, it appears that my comparisons are correct and appears to be recursing correctly, but is returning false for all cases. bool abcOrder(movie m, mNode *ref, int i) { int data = NULL; //Gets key data and converts to lowercase as needed int newNode = m.getTitle().at(i); if (newNode < 97) newNode = newNode + 32; int refNode = ref->M.getTitle().at(i); if (refNode < 97) refNode = refNode + 32; //Compares key data at position 'i' if (newNode < refNode) { return true; } else if (newNode > refNode) { return false; } else { //If newNode.key == refNode.key, increment position and run again i++; abcOrder(m, ref, i); } } Given keys of: 1. laak 2. laab 3. laaj 4. laal We should see an output of: true (2 is left of 1) true then false (3 is left of 1 and right of 2) false (k is right of 1) What it's actually returning is all false with 4 being the right child of 3, 3 being right of 2, and 2 being right of 1. Note: Insertion method worked properly before I implemented this function, albeit with unique first characters.

I found this, which is outdoor rated: https://www.amazon.com/Woods-12601G-Cube-Extension-Outlet/dp/B000HE8R04?ref_=w_bl_hsx_s_hi_web_2603858011 But I would explore other options for them: https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/B7867814-9E32-4157-8799-7E94E1885704?ingress=2&visitId=98654ad5-f575-49ff-93e6-5c2562e455d5&ref_=w_bl_hsx_s_hi_web_2603858011

That may be the thinnest new cable you can find. What I linked is 16 AWG. I imagine it would be difficult to find an 18 AWG cable, but it would be thinner and should still be sufficient depending on the number and power draw of lights you have. I know my grandfather has a couple really old extension cords that are really thin and almost certainly would work. Maybe try finding something used and older?

Cooler Master MasterBox 5 (White)
Unimaginative Name replied to TedBuildsPCs's topic in Power Supplies
I think for my aftermarket fans, I used rubber anti-noise fan mounts, but either the screws that come out of the old fans or the screws that came with the new fan should fit. For the top fans...cable ties. My cable ties for the top fan worked great and were barely noticeable. -
Cooler Master MasterBox 5 (White)
Unimaginative Name replied to TedBuildsPCs's topic in Power Supplies
I had this case. Out of the box, there are two fan mounts on the front. Both these fan mount are for the bottom, did these bottom slots not come with fans pre-installed? Mine did.. As for the top slot, I just used zip-ties to secure the extra fan. -
Laptops in university
Unimaginative Name replied to Jurrunio's topic in Laptops and Pre-Built Systems
It depends on what engineering discipline. I'm a computer science & engineering student with an electrical engineering dual major. There are a lot of Macbooks, especially in the computer science sphere. My university has upwards of 20 computer labs in the engineering department alone, all with software necessary for school work and none more than 3 years old. I think about 10% of people have a gaming laptop/desktop and a surface of some kind for bringing to class. 20% Macbook. 40% of people have $400-$500 mainstream laptops. Then I'd say the other 30% is split between gaming/workstation laptops that they drag to class or $1500-$2000 business laptops. With 4,000 engineering students, this is a wild guess. -
New System Crash Under Moderate-Heavy Load
Unimaginative Name replied to Unimaginative Name's topic in Troubleshooting
Yeah, oops. Not touching that PSU. I ran a simultaneous stress test in open air for 45 minutes. I then put the lid back on and it crashed within 5 or 10 minutes. At this point I know it's a PSU overheating causing crashes. I started the RMA process with cooler master. Pray for me. -
New System Crash Under Moderate-Heavy Load
Unimaginative Name replied to Unimaginative Name's topic in Troubleshooting
So I rebuilt the entire psu, except for the CPU (don't have TIM on hand). Everything except the second HDD is on. My CPU stress test and Furnark have been running simultaneously for 30 minutes now without issue. If this goes well for an hour, I'm gonna put the lid back on the case (Node 304). Induce some heat and see where that gets me. If it crashes then, the only thing I can think of would be GPU overheating causing system shutdowns. -
New System Crash Under Moderate-Heavy Load
Unimaginative Name replied to Unimaginative Name's topic in Troubleshooting
That's what I initially thought, but it has now crashed under a CPU only test. Turning off thermal protection in the BIOS didn't do anything either. During troubleshooting, I've run Furmark alone multiple times. It has crashed the system a couple of times. So now it has crashed under a CPU only load and a GPU only load, as well as a combined load. It isn't CPU/GPU/MOBO temp related. I may try the tried and true remove 1 memory stick and retry. -
New System Crash Under Moderate-Heavy Load
Unimaginative Name replied to Unimaginative Name's topic in Troubleshooting
The BSOD give any number of 2 or 3 different codes. But none of the blue screens ever run to completion or make it past 0% after 10 or 15 minutes. I just tried only a CPU stress test again (1st since CMOS clear) and it crashed after 2 or 3 minutes. I went into my BIOS and found an overheating shutdown feature and disabled it. I'm currently running the tests again and currently with no issue (yet). My thought it that when overclocking is removed from Auto, that feature gets disabled. Unconfirmed though. I'm 20 minutes, I'll add furmark to this test and see what happens. If this is the problem, I'll be relieved, but still pretty irritated.
