Currently in the market for a new TV and audio setup, in the UK and combined budget is around £800. It will mainly be used for films/TV and gaming TV min specs 55" 4K 60+Hz Good colour Would nice to have half decent HDR but not a must Had a look at TCL 55C735k looks to be well reviewed and good quality but out of stock in reputable stores. The 55C745k is in stock but costs around £100 more any reputable review sits have reviewed it yet Had a look and probably going to try and find second hand audio stuff to save money. Have looked at Sony HT-g700 but don't know if it's the best option. Don't really have preference for soundbar or normal speakers just whatever is best quality. Any suggestions and help is appreciated.

Today I tried to open Lightroom and it slowed my computer to a crawl, I opened task manager to see what was going on and realised that my ram was almost full from. During this I noticed that even though I have 16GB of ram installed and task manager reported this in the top right it showed elsewhere that I had only 8GB of ram available as the rest was hardware reserved and it was running at 2400mhz instead of the speed I set it to. I looked into what was using ram more deeply and confirmed that this was the case. I then began troubleshooting by removing the sticks of ram trying them in multiple configurations to determine whether or not it was a failure of ram or motherboard. The first thing I did was simply reseat it and boot the same issue occurred it would boot into windows and bios showing 16gb detected but 8gb reserved and no matter what the jdac base speed. from there I tried with just one stick, in each of the slots and switched between the sticks. In these configurations any attempt to move to the secondary slots the system would boot loop, but both sticks in the primary slots worked and booted. At first the individual sticks would only boot in the right most slot, with one stick being able to be ran at 3200Mhz, then the second to the left slot also worked after trial and error, also with one stick working at 3200Mhz. I then retried in these slots individually and all of a sudden both began to run at 3200Mhz. After that I tried both of them in the primary slots and all of a sudden they are both booting successfully at 3200Mhz with the hardware reserved ram issue gone from task manager. I am unsure whether or not this issue is temporarily or permanently resolved and would like help to determine, and also help to determine the source of the issue if it needs replacing.

Just happened again, this time in event viewer there was no error for virtualisation just unexcepted shutdown. Was just streaming video so probably is graphics drivers.

I have in the past ran DDU and reinstalled drivers and it remained an issue, and yes they are the newest stable bios and chipset drivers etc. I will try re-enabling virtualisation.

Every so often seemingly with no common cause this happens, it freezes for a few seconds then they go completely black and I have to restart it on my case. This has happened when gaming, when just idling, using text editors, browsing the internet etc. I have had this issue for some time and nothing has solved the issue, I went to a GPU driver that was more stable didn't fix it, changed PSU didn't fix it. The hardware all seems fine since stress tests do not replicate the issue and it is not a temperature issue as under these stress tests the GPU remained at 70 degrees and CPU under 65 while running furmark and aida64. Looking in event viewer the report of unexpected reboot is always preceded by two errors Source: Hyper-V-Hypervisor Event ID:42 Task Category: None General: Hypervisor launch failed; Either SVM not present or not enabled in BIOS. & Source: Kernel Boot Event ID:124 Task Category: (80) General: The virtualization-based security enablement policy check at phase 0 failed with status: Virtual Secure Mode (VSM) is not initialized. The hypervisor or VSM may not be present or enabled. I dabbled with virtual machines at one point and so enabled VSM and Hypervisor to do it but disabled them both because I didn't need them any more, but every time this issue occurs it has these two events. I have no idea what to do because randomly having to restart really does effect me as it would anyone, the only thing I can think of is to just reinstall windows entirely to try and fix it but that is a nuclear option that I would rather avoid so my PC isn't down for that amount of time including reinstalling programs.

Well since both cpu and gpu are running stock, and only ram running at XMP speed, I will presume it probably is the PSU

I did this and and it still happened with the same events in event viewer

Issue is described in the title, looking in event viewer it says Hypervisor launch failed; Either SVM not present or not enabled in BIOS. The virtualization-based security enablement policy check at phase 0 failed with status: Virtual Secure Mode (VSM) is not initialized. The hypervisor or VSM may not be present or enabled. The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly. I have Virtualization disabled in BIOS and have Hyper-V turned off in control panel, every time this black screen happens I look in event viewer and it always has those events, I had a temperature control open at the time and both CPU and GPU were both around 50C.

My PC is having an two issues which are when I boot in when I get to the log in page my main monitor goes black and i can move my mouse on the other display but that the main one to get past this I have to turn off my main monitor, which is the only monitor plugged into my graphics card, and I can log in after that to be able to us my main monitor I have to reinstall my graphics drivers but the issue will randomly pop up again. The other issue is that under high GPU loads my PC will freeze up all my monitor turning off apart from my main monitor which will have a frozen image on my PC is still on but i have to restart.

I am having a consistent issue, I believe its a driver issue, the issue is that whenever I turnoff or send my PC to sleep after the windows logo on startup the main display goes black but my mouse can move on my other monitors but they are black. The only way i can get into windows is to go onto safe mode us DDU and then restart and I can get into windows. However when I reinstall AMD drivers or Windows installers them itself the problem happens again I can continue in Windows however as soon as power down or send to sleep it begins again. Along with that it sometimes even goes to black screen when I'm in windows when playing some games, the exact same way with the main display as completely black but still detecting a signal the other displays also have the same issue but the mouse can move over them.

I bought a new CPU cooler, the cooler master hyper 212 LED, and am checking temperature across multiple pieces of software and I'm getting a ridiculous range from almost 5-70 degrees. Which is right or the most accurate and why is their such a range? I have a A8-7650K
