  1. Given that most people who need a cell phone / data plan / etc. usually need it for years if not their whole lives once they have one... receiving a small discount for paying for a year in advance kinda makes sense to me, so long as the service works reliably everywhere you need it. I wouldn't blindly pay for a year in advance until I verify the service works well with both my phone and the geographical locations I need coverage in, but if the service functions well for my needs, I'm down to lock in for a year if it means I save 10-15% or more on car insurance my phone bill.
  2. Given what you describe in your post, the "ytimg.com" and "hqdefault.jpg" file are related to YouTube Video Thumbnail images. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2068344/how-do-i-get-a-youtube-video-thumbnail-from-the-youtube-api Without being able to see exactly what you clicked on (either in a video recording, or an exact step-by-step explanation) I'd merely be guessing how you managed to open whatever website you did within Chrome, but if you didn't download anything and keep your browser updated, you're likely safe.
  3. Same. A friend of mine ended up winning this computer at the LTX auction. I believe they gave it a complete tender love & care cleanout and are now using it as a media center computer in their living room. The time and effort put into the chassis made this an absolute artwork masterpiece.
  4. Yup - see the quote about Xeon and i3 processors supporting ECC memory in my previous post, and see page 14 of Dell's official Setup & Specifications Guide PDF for details on all processors supported in the Precision 3440 system https://dl.dell.com/content/manual25974437-precision-3440-small-form-factor-setup-and-specifications-guide.pdf?language=en-us
  5. According to Kingston's memory finder... https://www.kingston.com/en/memory/search/model/101655/dell-alienware-precision-3440-sff Intel's own website also indicates the i5-10500 processor does not support ECC memory modules. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/199277/intel-core-i510500-processor-12m-cache-up-to-4-50-ghz/specifications.html
  6. ================================================ === Topic moved from General Discussion to Troubleshooting === ================================================ Hey, so... did you try installing... graphics drivers? No but seriously, the inability to select higher resolutions usually stems from improperly installed graphics drivers. Congrats on your new PC build! I recommend installing the latest versions of the APU and Chipset drivers from your motherboard manufacturer's website, then the AMD Adrenaline driver + software package from AMD's website. https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B550M-K-rev-10/support#support-dl-driver-chipset https://www.amd.com/en/support/apu/amd-ryzen-processors/amd-ryzen-5-5000-g-series-desktop-processors-radeon-graphics/amd The above software is essential to ensuring Windows understands how to talk to all the hardware in your computer, including knowing what output resolutions are supported. Let us know how it goes.
  7. Grey market key sites that don't abide by Microsoft's End User License Agreement (EULA) or that don't have a reseller agreement may be selling keys acquired through illicit means. While the keys might be legit, they may have been purchased from a company's IT staff member looking to sell "extra" keys for quick cash or from an official source using a stolen credit card. Since there's no way to verify the legitimacy of where these keys are acquired, it's recommended to only purchase Windows from officially licensed resellers, like Newegg, Amazon, Memory Express, Canada Computers, Micro Center, etc. to ensure you're not accidentally contributing to what might be an illegitimate activity used to acquire a legitimate software license key.
  8. Based on the lack of useful results searching Google for "0xe24c4a05" I would recommend contacting the software developer for assistance if nobody else on the forums has a response to this error message.
  9. As others noted, that's pre-applied thermal paste from the heatsink manufacturer. Feel free to use it as it came from the factory, or clean off the pre-applied paste thoroughly using Isopropyl Alcohol (or equivalent) then apply fresh thermal paste of your choosing.
  10. Just for giggles... have you checked the cooling fans? Or simply tried unplugging all cooling fans (including the CPU heatsink fans) to see if one or more fans has a bad bearing or something else hitting the fan blades making a ticking sound? Obviously, don't let the computer run for more than a couple minutes if you're unplugging the heatsink fan, but it's a good way to rule out if the noise is coming from one of the fans.
  11. -> Moved to Programs, Apps and Websites --- This thread is currently more of a friendly discussion about a piece of software, so it's been moved to the Programs, Apps and Websites subforum. If the original post is edited to include an opinionated description of the software, it can be moved back. Check out the guidelines linked below.
  12. Instructions unclear. The invisible glasses that I do not wear are already too hazy for me to see through.
  13. Banned because I'm hungry for a Cinnamon Bun but don't have one in front of me right now.
  14. -= Merged =- Please do not multi-post/repost topics. For giggles, are you able to try removing the PCIe WiFi card from your PC entirely @TheKenetical and connecting it to the router / modem via wired Ethernet? Totally understand that you might have to temporarily relocate the PC or modem / router to test this, but it would narrow the issue down to being (or not being) the PCIe WiFi card.
  15. If you feel you need any of the additional features listed on the comparison page, go ham and buy Pro. Otherwise, Free will likely do its job fine. https://www.revouninstaller.com/revo-uninstaller-free-download/
