  1. I finally got it working by enabling nomodeset. I don't know what this does but it fixed my problem. Thanks guys for helping
  2. Thanks man, I just tried that, but sadly now I get the same error as above and it stops with a black screen. Now I am running BIOS v5.0
  3. Hey guys, I just got my hardware for my home server: - CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2400g - RAM: 8 GB Crucial 2400MT/s - Mainboard: ASRock AB350 Pro4 - Bios Version: 4.60 I tried to install ubuntu desktop (Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS) on it. I am choosing the Desktop Version over the server version as I am new to Linux and I didnt want to go without a GUI. So, when I tried to install i got the following problems, as shown in the pictures attached. Firstly some error messages then to a screen which is split and doesn't respond to input. I didn't change anything in the BIOS and the UbuntuOS Stick was creates via Rufus and the newest Ubuntu .iso File i could get. Is there anything I should have changed or am I missing any minor things? Hope you can help me to be able to succesfully install my first Linux OS Edit: I was able to install Win10 without any problems. SkyforCe
  4. Well, I can get a used Pentium for 30$ and that uses less power and doesn't get as hot. Also there won't be any 4K streams and also no 4k transcoding. Just 1080p for max 3 users. That should work right? Hope so.
  5. Typo, yes I meant B250. Good to hear that. Probably won't ever happen, but just in case. Most likely there will be maximum 3 people where either 3 direct stream or 2 direct steam and 1 transcode.
  6. Hey guys, Will the Intel Pentium g4560 be able to handle transcoding of 2 simultaneous 1080p with a bitrate of about 9000kBit/s CPU Intel Pentium G4560 € 35,00 RAM 8 GB - HyperX Fury € 58,99 Mainboard Gigabyte GA B350M € 31,12 PSU EVGA 600W 80+ WHITE € 49,99 Case Thermaltake Versa H22 € 30,99 SSD Crucial MX500 -256GB € 52,92 Thanks in advance, SkyForCe
  7. After some research and a lot of comparing I came up with a new build, without an seperate GPU and less power consumption. What do you guys think? That build is about 200€ cheaper and uses less power. It isn't as powerful, but for my needs I think it will work. CPU Intel Pentium G4560 € 35,00 RAM 8 GB - HyperX Fury € 58,99 Mainboard Gigabyte GA B350M € 31,12 PSU EVGA 600W 80+ WHITE € 49,99 Case Thermaltake Versa H22 € 30,99 SSD Crucial MX500 -256GB € 52,92
  8. I now consider using an Ryzen 2200g or 2400g instead of the Ryzen 5 1400 due to the built in GPU. The Ryzen 3 2200g would even be 8€ cheaper. I think the performance would be slightly worse, but for 1080p and a maximum of 4 clients at once it should be enough right? How do thoose 2 compare in transcoding power with the Ryzen 5 1400 ? Or would you do the 1400 and a GeForce GT 710 ?
  9. Because it doesnt look like there is a mATX Case with 6 storage bays I am just gonna get a normal ATX. Size doesn't really matter.
  10. For the GPU, a MSI GeForce GT 710 1GB for 40€ wont hurt that much and will be more than enough right? Can get a used one for like 30€ for sure. What do you think?
  11. Well, I think it would be cheaper to sell the NAS, because it doesn't really matter if the data is stored on the nas or computer. And I have space for 6 drives anyway. At least thats how I see it. So, which CPU would you recommend then instead with similar performance?
  12. Oh thanks for pointing that out, didnt know that. Then I am just gonna get a cheap used GPU. I thought that I am going to keep the HDDs of the QNAP and put them into the system so that I could get some money back for the QNAP. How would such an encoding box look like and how would I set that up.
  13. So yea, most of my files are MKV some are MP4. And I think they are all or most of all h264. Dont't know about AAC but thats good to know fot the future. Well transcoding is just needed when watching on phone or tablet. Most of the time it will be watched via Computer or TV, so there is no transcoding needed. Transcoding would be needed if I am not at home and want to enjoy a movie on my tablet or laptop. One reason is that the tablet can't read mkv and my network speed of 10Mbit/s wont be enough for the normal files. But other than that there is no transcoding needed. Only thing I am still looking for is a cheap case with enough space for storage
  14. Maximum is 4, but that would probably never happen. Most of the time 1 or 2. Added some informations in the post. Do you know any cheap MicroATX case with space for 6xHDDs
  15. Hey guys, I bought a QNAP 431P a yeare ago. It served me well, but it lacks transcoding abillity. So I want to replace it with something better, to be able to watch movies on your Smartphone too with Plex. I am gonna use it as a Backup, File Storage and Movie Server. Due to the high prices of a good NAS I thought I would build my own little Server for that. Budget? As cheap as possible. Drives? For now just 1x4TB and 1x3TB but I am going to expand that in the future. Also gonna do a RAID to not loose my data. Steam over Internet? Yes, my upload speed is 10 MBit/s. Thats not that much but it will do. How many Steams at the same time? Maximum is 4, but that would probably never happen. Most of the time it will be 1 or 2 4K? Maybe in the far future, but for now there are just 1080p movies with 4-12GB size. OS? I still don't know what will be the best. Will have to do more research. Anything missong? Pls ask. Thats what I got so far: CPU Ryzen 5 1400 € 108,00 RAM 8 GB - HyperX Fury € 63,00 Mainboard Asus Prime B350M-A € 73,00 PSU EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2 80+ Gold € 103,00 Cooler be quiet Pure Rock € 23,53 Case ???? € SSD Crucial MX500 -256GB € 56,90 Still looking for an MicroATX Case with 6 HDD slots or 5 HDD + 1 SSD slot. The case can be a very cheap one, because the Server will be placed on the attic. Anything you would do different or a case that would fit my needs? Thanks in advance, SkyForCe
  16. I don't have an overclock. So I connected the OS drive to my laptop via USB. I can't connect to it. Doesn't show in the windows explorer. When I open disk management it shows me the SSD, but it shows that it has a capacity of 16 TB. Any way or maybe there is a program to access the drive? Got some important data on it. I am doing backups weekly, but some data will still be missing. CrystalDiskInfo says that the Drive itself is ok and it also says the right capacity of 512GB
  17. Well, that was what I was doing. Couldn't get Windows repaired. Seems like I'll have to save all my data and do a clean install. Tried to boot into safe mode, but didn't work either. I will just put the drive into another working computer and safe all my data. Thnks for trying to help man
  18. Wow, Windows really messed that one up ;D I have never seen something like this.
  19. Hey guys! So, Windows installed an update yesterday. When I tried to start my pc today I got a blue screen. Attached a picture of it. Afterwards my PC restarted and tried to repair itself. After a while it said, that it couldn't repair itself. So I took out a USB Stick which I used to install Windows. Before I used the Media Creation Tool to get the newest Windows Version. So now I am stuck. I tried different things but nothing seems to work. I did a recovery to a kind of Backup, that Windows is saving itself. I tried the backup from yesterday, no success. Then I tried the one from the day before yesterday and it said success, but when I tried to startup, Windows again tried to repair itself. Is there anyone out there who could maybe help me to get the system running again? Got a lot of Data and Programs installed which I wouldn't want to install again. Would take at least half a day if you calculate data backup in. So I hope anyone can help me. Which option to choose? Never done this before. If you need any more information pls just ask. I haven't changed anything at the system itself. Windows just updated when I turned off my PC yesterday and today it won't start. I also tried to go back to the old Windows Version as it said in the Advanced Options --> Problem Management or how it is called in English, but Windows says that it can't do that. Thanks in advance, SkyForCe
  20. UPDATE: So I tried to do a system recovery. Tried a recovery which was automatially saved by Windows from yesterday and also one from a day before yesterday, but both without success.
  21. Hey guys! So, Windows installed an update yesterday. When I tried to start my pc today I got a blue screen. Afterwards it restarted and tried to repair itself. After a while it said, that it couldn't repair itself. So I took out a USB Stick which I used to install Windows. The version on there isn't the newest. Don't know if that could be a problem. The version is about 1/2 year old. When I selected repair from USB I came to the following screen, which I attached. I have never been on that screen before and also don't know any commands. Is there a way to repair Windows from that or have I done something wrong and shouldn't even be on that screen? Thanks in advance, SkyForCe
