LawrenceBarnes2013 replied to LawrenceBarnes2013's topic in Troubleshooting
Thanks for the input, mate. Yeah, that does seem to be my top option ATM, getting a new PSU. Hope it's worth it. -

LawrenceBarnes2013 replied to LawrenceBarnes2013's topic in Troubleshooting
Yeah. It's the most reasonable explanation. Guess i should get my hands on a proper PSU and see what's what. Hope it's worth it. -
So i recently lost my PC in an accident while moving cuz i had to relocate. It wasn't much but it got the job done. But next to the chip shortage and all it's gonna be pretty hard for me to build a new rig anytime soon but i'm getting there. Anyway while going through my old stuff this morning i found a Core i5 650 and it's compatible LGA 1156 Foxconn motherboard of sorts so i decided to see what i could get out of it so i threw in 8GB of Ram that i had lying around and an old GTX750Ti for testing purposes first however the hickup was the PSU, all i can get my hands on ATM is DELL PSU of sorts that says Max 120W and Max 255W depending on the voltage i suppose. I used a 4 pin to 8 pin power adapter to provide power to the CPU cuz that particular PSU doesn't have an 8 pin power connector. So i turned on the system and it keeps on turning on and off repeatedly with about 2 seconds interval. however when the system is plugged in but not turned on the mouse is lit up and so is the network port on the back of the Mobo. when i press and hold the black test button on the back of the PSU tho all fans spin constantly until i let go. So my question is what am i dealing with here? is the PSU simply not adequate or is there a short circuit somewhere or what?? BTW when i tested the PSU and Ram in the Dell Optiplex unit they came from they worked fine.

Do you really need 144 fps for a 144 Hz monitor
LawrenceBarnes2013 replied to Stefanos Lamparas's topic in Displays
When ur FPS dips bellow ur monitor's refresh rate u get what's called Tearing; It's when for a split second half of ur screen is still the previous frame and the other half is the next one. In general it is recommended to make sure ur GPU is pushing the needed amount of Frames per second that matches ur monitor's refresh rate. That much do know. And from personal experience i'm not quite sure if G-Sync and Free-Sync help that much. -
Network adapter failing to detect the Ethernet cable
LawrenceBarnes2013 posted a topic in Networking
So this is happening on my parents' PC, Dell Optiplex with a Broadcom NetLink Gigabit Ethernet adapter. I plug in the Ethernet cable directly to the Modem to make sure no other factors may be influencing the situation other than the Adapter it's self, and nothing. No Port num flashing on the Modem, no light flashing on the Ethernet port on the Mobo. However when i disable the device and then unable it again, or uninstall the driver and install it again the lights do start flashing but the Ethernet cable still isn't being detected. I have tried a different cable as well, same story. I have thrown in a PCI Ethernet card i had in my legacy hardware box, and that's working fine. And the other thing is the device isn't reporting any error codes, says it's working properly in Device manager. -

LawrenceBarnes2013 replied to LawrenceBarnes2013's topic in Programs, Apps and Websites
LMAO. Pretty sure trust me. And yes, i did force sign out all accounts and signed them back in with the new password. -
I'm finding a lot of stuff in my Youtube search and watch history i've never searched for or watched. All sexual, disgusting crap. I have three devices signed into my Google account, my PC, my phone and my Dad's phone. He wouldn't search such stuff or watch it, no way. And i'm sure i didn't either. I did change my password and clear both search and watch history and this stuff still keeps popping up, and exactly the same stuff, same vids, same keywords. What on earth is going on?! I am running Windows 10 pro with Windows security for... security.
