  1. i'm on pop_os and i downloaded plex and there's nothing, i've been stuck for hours, i've tried almost everything i could find online, idk what to do it doesn't show anything after the main folder, so i go into /home/user/ and that's all it can see, i've tried giving permission with chown command and chmod, non of them work, tried installing from ppa cuz someone sed it fixed it for them but that didn't work either, any help would be appreciated EDIT: this fixed it
  2. If u can get your hand on one, nokia is pretty good, i have a budget one, 6.1+ but the camera is quite great for the price, and if u can get higher models they r pretty awsome, and all nokia phones come with android one, which is really just great, if u buy a higher model like the 8 or sirocco, u can get very close experience to a pixel, i think they come with the snapdragon 845
  3. I know, but would reapplying the thermal paste do anything, the laptop is really old btw
  4. It works fine untill a while, and when it shuts down the ssd and the chip are very hot which is very weird because the max temp for ssd I've ever had was 35, and i don't think so because SSDs pull less than HDD
  5. No actually, like i said, works perfectly fine with an HDD, the problem ouccurs when i try to boot with an SSD
  6. My friend has an old Dell Inspiron N5010 that works fine with hdd, but i bought an (860EVO)to replace the HDD, and i managed to install windows (loaded from the official Microsoft media creation tool) and when it restarts after installation, it just doesn't turn back on long enough to do anything, i thought that it shut down, but after turning it back on, it just shuts off after a minute or two, and i searched a little bit and people were saying that the drive has failed, i was frustrated and confused, because a drive fail is exactly why i didn't buy used, I'm a little experienced in drives failing, so i tried to tinker with the bios, and the same thing happened, after a little bit it just shuts down, i knew for sure that it meant that it has nothing to do with a drive failing, but i said hey, what would i lose, so i put back in the old HDD,and it actually booted up fine ,and worked fine for long periods, so i thought maybe it actually is a drive fail, and tried to use it on my own laptop, and i installed and booted into wondows no problem, so my head was exploding at that moment, and i put the ssd back in my friend's, and this time, it installed fine, but again, after that nothing, and i thought maybe the cpu heats up so much, that it just pulls an emergency shut down, so i searched for that and a lot of people seem to have heat issues with this particular laptop model, so i put back in HDD, again worked fine, and fired up Aida64, and it was rocking 90 at idle, but never really got hot to the point of it even throttlling rather than emergency shut down, so what i need suggestions/help for is this, does installing Windows use so much resources to make it that hot? And would reapplying the factory thermal paste help with thermal issues?
