Checking your cpu temps is easy and free with software like HWInfo. That said this error can also be thrown for a few other common things. Outdated/ corrupt drivers Malware. I would check temps, if they aren't hitting thermal limits then I would run a malware scan with something like malwarebytes... of that doesn't solve the problem then it comes down to updating drivers. You can also try running. Sfc /scannow from an elevated command prompt.

Just to chime in... if you can wait another month or so for the AMD 5 series to launch then you could save a bunch of money on the 3 series and/or pick up a better 5 series chip for a tad more. If price drops happen like they have in the past you might even be able to jump to a 3700 or 3800 for around the same price as the 3600 now.

The fact you are having this many questions and issues mean you need to do some good solid research and studying. Rushing forward to create a vpn without understanding everything needed along the way is only asking for an unsecure disaster.

I mean dramless aren't ideal, but unless you run them close to full capacity they will still be much faster. Don't forget that you can steal us your current HDD for storage... just not as an OS drive Here is the info from the site. 1 x Ultra M.2 Socket, supports M Key type 2242/2260/2280 M.2 SATA3 6.0 Gb/s module and M.2 PCI Express module up to Gen3 x4 (32 Gb/s) (with Matisse, Picasso, Summit Ridge, Raven Ridge and Pinnacle Ridge) or Gen3 x2 (16 Gb/s) (with Athlon series APU)* The Apacer SSD M.2 SATA AST280 480GB is a sata 6 m.2 which would work, but will be slower than a pci-e one. The Apacer PV220-M280 would work it is m key 2280. Not sure on price, but if this is only slightly more it would be the better option. If not either of those SSDs you mentioned would work

So those items do get stored in ram, so having more will increase the amount of items you can open quickly. That being said it doesn't change the fact that in this day and age using an HDD for a OS drive drastically reduces the speed of everything. Anything now in ram takes time to seek then load into ram, when your ram is full or needs to move items to and from you page file... this will also be much slower due to using an HDD. The result is you run into a scenario like you have now where things feel sluggish.

I see two things that could be done. Ram to 16gb would be one of them, but another one is getting an SSD. That HDD is going to make everything feel sluggish in comparison. I mean you can get a 500gb ssd for like 45 bucks and a 1tb for less than one hundred now. That will by far give you the most noticeable speed increase.

I second this. Go wit the Synology. I had owned both and it really is no comparison. The WD units are slow, the web interface likes to free, the units random restart and/or lose connectivity, and in my experience they all use much cheaper 5400rpm drives.

I do think they will eventually be back on top, but I am not sure if it will be even in the 11th or 12th gen chips. Right now AMD is on a much smaller process, with a lot of manufacturing improvements. They have a great architecture, which is a little limited on max clocks, but have pushed IPC to the point it has compensated for it. They aren't stuck on a monolithic beast that drastically reduces yields and increases cost. They aren't used a huge process and can more dies per wafer. I mean right now they are going to be winning in every possible way. All they have to do is keep using better manufacturing processes and making architecture changes that keep advancing their IPC improvements. You don't need 5.3ghz when you can do 4.9 with 20% more done per clock. What intel needs is another big innovative architecture change for themselves. They need to break away from the monolithic approach which while still powerful hurts in many other ways. The ring bus isn't the king of all anymore since there are too many cores for it to handle without seeing latency reach levels of the other options. So lets say they go with a chipset approach. They will increase their yields, have much better binning capabilities, have a much more scalable solution, have the ability to add much more igpu power to the chips, etc etc etc... The truth is they were late to the game and are going to suffer from it like AMD did with the bulldozer chips.

I can count the number of times I got a new CPU and used the same motherboard on one hand, oh and one finger. If I am replacing a CPU and not the motherboard with it then chances are the CPU died and I just want a drop in replacement. With the way technology is changing upgrading to a new gen cpu should also mean upgrading to a new motherboard else you miss out on some of the improvements and benefits to that new gen cpu. I mean we are talking an extra 80-250 bucks depending on the quality of the board you want. I guess for some people that is a significant investment, but if you are on a budget a 80 dollar motherboard will be plenty... if you are going high end then that should have been part of your planning all along.

LAwLz is correct on this. If you had deadspots you either need more AP's, powerline to ethernet/wifi, or a combination of wired and wifi devices to maximize speed. I can't really dig right now, but some of the higher end wifi routers come with 3 bands... 2.4, 5ghz, and a 3rd for a mesh system. As an example we purchased a house we plan to move in to next summer. It is about 4800 sq/ft. I had thr bedrooms and office all wired to ethernet to a wall plate. Then to maximize through put placed multiple wired wifi APs in the house with one room having to much wiring in the walls it was basically a Faraday cage... which we ran a powerline wifi adapter to (wish we knew this before hand and I would have had it wired up for ethernet too lol). Now one of previous residents was a 2 story with full basement 1800 sqft home. I could easily get coverage throughout the house with 2.4ghz on a single high-end router. Lastly, I've seen small apartments where you can't get more than 1 or 2 bars of signal a room away. There are just a ton of factors when it comes to wifi strength and penetration.

Most consumer routers are meant to be mostly good out of the box. The only thing I would recommend changing would be the wifi name and password. If you run into issues with something not working then we can troubleshoot from there, but in general you shouldn't need to actually do much.

What kills me is people like this will be quick to make fun of others who get scammed, but the moment they have someone do it to them they will cry the loudest. They will be on ebay, forums, anything they can find screaming about it and demanding everyone else is to blame. The fact is wrong is wrong. If someone is scamming others then they are the ones to blame NOT the victims. The only reason they do this is because of people like this poster. They find out they were scammed then read people telling them it was there own fault so they give up or don't press the issue with ebay like they should. In the end the scammer wins. What people SHOULD be doing is demanding these items are removed quickly and efficiently. We should be holding the people posting this garbage accountable for it instead of trying to excuse that behavior behind people being too "stupid."

I agree, I say the exact same thing about facebook. Their reporting systems and automated detection methods need improving.

Lets be clear. NO ONE, NO ONE. Ever. Deserves to be scammed. It doesn't matter how dumb, neglectful, etc. No one deserves that. So trying to explain away someone taking advantage of another (which in this case is also ILLEGAL) as being the victims own fault.... just shows me where you stand on the moral compass meter. This is like blaming the woman for being raped because she decided to wear a dress/skirt.

The text below is also in the listing. For this to be a valid transaction that ebay will enforce and that isn't something they would lose in court... then the following text would need to be removed. The paper is not manufacturer by ASUS, does not have an Nvidia chip, does not have 10GB of ram, etc. So including any misleading information like below is meant to deceive and pushes this into scam territory. Condition: New: A brand-new, unused, unopened, undamaged item in its original packaging (where packaging is applicable). Packaging should be the same as what is found in a retail store, unless the item is handmade or was packaged by the manufacturer in non-retail packaging, such as an unprinted box or plastic bag. See the seller's listing for full details. See all condition definitions Chipset Manufacturer: NVIDIA Chipset/GPU Model: RTX 3080 Brand: ASUS Manufacturer Warranty: 2 years Memory Type: GDDR6X

You are correct. It has to do with draw calls and the fact they are very much still single threaded. So you basically have a scale... the higher the resolution the more load the gpu has compared to the CPU... as resolution decreases this flips.

It really depends on the quality of the IPS. While in most cases VA panels have 3 to even 6 times the contrast a high end IPS can come close enough to true blacks with local dimming and such that it isn't that noticeable. I mean technically only OLED is better at blacks than VA. That being said IPS has better color accuracy. VA also use to have better latency, but that has changed a lot recently so that they are basically equal now. Either way you can get a great looking monitor from either technology. They are both a major step up from a TN panel.

This particular launch combination has me in a pickle of a situation. I normally would have jumped on the highend being the 3090, but since it is going to be bottlenecked by pretty much any cpu I toss at it unless you are playing at 8k.... This might be the first generation where I only go up to the 3080. Then we have the CPU side of things. I keep putting off a CPU upgrades and still have an 8700k at 5.2ghz (atm). So with AMD saying we will see big IPC increases with this generation as well as a decent boost in clocks I am really hoping this closes the gap or even surpasses the 10xxx series cards in single thread. Ideally I want to see that gap drop to 5% or less. If the gap doesn't drop then I am probably better served riding out the 2080ti for another year. I for sure will be upgrading my CPU this generation. Now if the benchmarks come out and show that there are some big performance gains to be seen from the 24gb of memory or for high refresh rate 4k monitors then I am not opposed to jumping on the 3090 bandwagon, but again as it stands I don't play at 8k and I don't know anyone that does... so it just doesn't feel worth the investment this gen... outside of something on the productivity side.

True, but getting 3070 performance that will be slightly higher than a 2080ti for these prices is huge. One of the complaints last gen was the premium you paid for a slight fps boost. People labeled it the Ray tracing tax because of it. Now we are seeing a big performance leap with a price drop. Sure we haven't seen the 3050 or 3060 yet, but i am sure we will see similar gains. All of that aside 4k gaming is now at a price point that many more people can obtain.

I think this has nothing with them being scared just tapping the smart decisions they made. So the biggest complaint last gen was price/performance so I feel this architecture they looked at addressing that. They went with Samsung 8nm process which has high yields compared to their last process. So they get more high quality chips per wafer which drastically reduces cost. This allowed them to cram on more Cuda, tensor, etc cores which drastically increased performance. So far the boost clocks look good, but i think this will be the one area we need to see more reviews on. We could see massive OC potential or we could see little to no headroom meaning what you see is mostly what you get. All of this aside it looks like they have produced a great line of cards willing to trade blows with AMD in the price/performance market and not just the high-end king of fps one.

It has been determined that anything I buy i can do basically anything I wish with as long as it is for ME. The gray area is games where a connection to their servers is required. So they are able to enfore their rules on those servers, but their power of said material ends there. If i want to reverse engineer their game for my personal use... i can do so. It isn't unless I try to sell or distribute it that I run into a legal issue.

Dx12 was suppose to be able to utilize any combination of gpu,apu, integrated to boost frames by making them work in tandem. However, I do not think any games have integrated that feature and not sure if/when it will see widespread adoption.

Don't forget people that most states in the USA are At-Will. Meaning you can be terminated for pretty much anything or quit for pretty much anything without much recourse. Now there are some right to work states and there are also other things that cloudy this like contracts, but in the vast majority of cases you don't get much other than unemployment. Even then more and more companies dispute it every time they let someone go to help with their premiums. Now you can take them to court, but that is also hit or miss and in most cases the best you can get out of it is lost wages for X amount of months.

Anymore it comes down to if it is accredited and if it was one of the schools known as being "for profit."

I think a lot of that has to do with the size of the company. I know once you hit anything in the fortune 500 your climb will be limited to something like a senior level. You will not be getting any principal, manager, director, or exexutive/chief level positions. That is because those positions go to the best of the best and are more often than not initially sorted and filtered by HR who only see degrees and certifications. That is also what makes finding some jobs much harder without a degree... you just can't get past the HR filter.
