Setup a cheap computer in your son's bedroom (Could even be a Raspberry Pi) that you can use remote desktop from. You will have to enable remote desktop access on your high end office PC, but that is fairly easy to setup with some time spent on Google.

I've never experienced this problem on mobile (Thankfully!!), but I have had ads appear in videos in Youtube on my Samsung TV. Usually it happens after the application has been open for a long time, so I just turn the TV off and back on and then I'm not getting ads anymore. This can be really frustrating, though, I understand since you are paying for a premium service that is supposed to be AD FREE.

If you don't mind me trying to save you some $, Newegg has that exact same memory kit except in red as well for $9 less! (CMK16GX4M2B3000C15 vs CMK16GX4M2B3000C15R) https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233863&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker, LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID= Or if you don't mind buying memory other than Corsair, search part picker with these filters and sorting: https://pcpartpicker.com/products/memory/#s=403000&sort=price&Z=16384002&L=0,150&page=1 (DDR4-3000, CAS 15, 2x8GB, sorted by price)

DDR4-3000 should be great. If you happen to find 3200 at the same or a comparable price, then go for it.

Faster DDR4 RAM used to be way more expensive, but typically the prices I have seen recently are very close to that of their lower speed variants. I have even seen the same RAM with the exact same CAS latency and everything except faster speed at the same price on sites like Newegg and Amazon.

I agree with SupaKomputa on the Hyper212. Unless you plan to do some serious overclocking (At which point, the 2400g is probably the better choice if you are looking for that level of performance), the stock heatsink should be just fine. While the power supply is overkill for your current specs, it is upgrade friendly if you would ever want to put in a dedicated Ryzen CPU and dedicated GPU rather than keep using the APU. I also have to agree with glenalz81 on the dual channel, especially since your APU Graphics will be using your system memory. I suppose you can always buy a second stick later if you are on a tight budget right now, but if that is your plan, please try to purchase the exact same memory stick for best results.

I would go with faster RAM if you can. Ryzen GREATLY benefits from faster RAM speeds. Also, is there any particular reason you are going with a 1TB hard drive over a 480GB SSD that you can get for roughly the same price? SSD prices have come waaaaaay down in the last few years. IMO, there no other reason I can think of to purchase a hard drive anymore unless you need terabytes of storage.

I don't see any specific issues with your build (Besides some things being overkill!), but you could certainly save some money without losing much (if any) performance. However, if cost isn't issue, you can get the faster RAM and the overpriced Motherboard and the 9700k, etc... Whether you go with your original list or change it based on the suggestions so far, you would have a solid build either way.

I'm someone who typically only plays single player games, and Shadow works great for me. Also, the $35 a month pricing is actually pretty nice if compared to other VPS services.... They are giving you a 1000x100 network connection with UNLIMITED bandwidth. The specs for your own dedicated resources that shadow gives you would cost infinitely more with another VPS provider. It would be nice if they gave you some kind of option to add additional drive space on your server at an extra cost. (Maybe they could offer a more pricier additional storage tier with SSD and a more affordable tier that is HDD?) It did take 10 days before I could access my Shadow (Note: Your subscription period does NOT start until your Shadow VM is ready to use) but I think we can all blame Linus for this. I'm not sure that Shadow employees are the ones that actually setup your VM for you... Below is a quote from a support email that I have with them. Hey (Name Removed), Thanks for contacting Shadow customer support! I want to start by apologizing for the large delay in activation time. Due to the surplus of subscriptions from our Holiday deals, and the manual process behind setting up Shadows, there has been a bit of a bottleneck with activations. That being said because activation is carried out in our data center, we don't have an exact date available for your activation Your subscription time won't start while you're waiting for activation. The billing date for the second month will move a few days ahead to coincide with your activation date. I truly appreciate your continued patience! Best, (Name Removed)

Are you receiving any sort of error message when your games crash? Here are some things I can suggest... Re-seat your RAM because... Well, just because, lol! Wouldn't hurt to test your RAM with a memtest, either. Have you had any new driver updates or anything you could think of that recently changed on your computer? Check the power pin leads going into your graphics card... I've helped someone before where the PCI-E power connectors weren't quite seated in all the way. Monitor your temps while a game is running and make sure everything is staying in a reasonable range. Uninstall and reinstall graphics drivers with latest from Nvidia.

Do you have the latest drivers for your video card? If not, you can download them from AMD here: https://www.amd.com/en/support/graphics/radeon-500-series/radeon-rx-500-series/radeon-rx-580 If you do have graphics drivers installed already from AMD, I would recommend uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers.

Your best bet would honestly be to get a new case when you get a new motherboard. It also could be necessary to get a new PSU if you get a new motherboard, as jimkirk363 stated above. If you look around, this is a good time to buy some new parts. I could make a recommendation on a case and PSU if you aren't sure what to get. Your OEM botherboard in the picture above may not be a typical form factor.... It appears to be approximately the same size as an mATX board, but I can't say for sure. If not mATX this is most likely a proprietary form factor used by HP. As a side note, you MIGHT be able to fit a mini-itx board in the case... As long as the standoffs line up, I imagine it would be fine. Not sure if you could find a mini-itx LGA 775 board, but it would only have one PCI-E slot and it would HAVE line up with the top PCI-E slot on a mATX motherboard because, well.... There's only one slot, lol.

You may be able to automate this with a batch file that is started using task scheduler... You don't have to do this, but I'm curious to see if it will work for you if you would want to try it. Try copying and pasting the following into a notepad and then save it as a .bat in the root of your C:\ drive. I added a pause before it attempts to start the service again, but you can remove/change this as you wish. (This gives the system more time to clear it out of the RAM) @ECHO. @ECHO Stopping services, please wait for 10 seconds… @ECHO OFF REM Stop Service NET STOP ProfSvc REM The following is a timer to allow for server RAM to clear after the service has stopped REM Use the numerical value within the ‘timeout’ command line to control how many seconds the pause will be. TIMEOUT /t 10 /NOBREAK ECHO. NET START ProfSvc PAUSE EXIT Then open task scheduler and create a new basic task. Name it something like "Restart User Profile Service on Boot" Set it to take place When the computer starts Select Start a program as the action Click browse and then navigate to the root of the C:\ Drive or wherever you chose to save the .bat file and then select the .bat file. Before saving, check the option to open the properties dialogue when finished. On this screen, select the option to Run whether the user is logged on or not and then choose to Run with the highest privileges. select Configure for Windows 10 (Choose your specific OS here) If this is a laptop, you might also want to go to the conditions tab here and uncheck the start the task only if the computer is on AC power option. Once you have this setup, reboot and I'm hoping this works for you.

Is there a guide or tutorial somewhere that you are following? I'm assuming you are trying to flash the stock ROM after running a custom ROM or perhaps your phone was bricked/in a bootloop/etc... What is the exact model of your phone? I have some experience with Odin I might be able to help if you can give me some more details.

Another option if you are really against re-imaging/resetting Windows, is the tweaking.com windows repair tool. This takes a looooooooooooooong time to run, though, so be prepared to let your computer sit for a day while it is doing its checks and repairs. https://www.tweaking.com/content/page/windows_repair_all_in_one.html
