I think I figured it out. I was barking up the wrong tree thinking the SSD upgrade caused the problem. A user on Reddit suggested Win+Crtl+Shift+B to correct the issue when it was lagging, which totally worked. So I used DDU to nuke the Intel graphics driver and let Windows Update reinstall it and I haven't had an issue since.

I upgraded the SSD in my Surface Pro 9 to a SABRENT Rocket Q4 2230 NVMe 4.0 2TB for extra storage. Ever since I upgraded the SSD, when I wake it from sleep, the whole system is super laggy. It's not unresponsive at all, it just feels like it's running at 10 fps. Sometimes it stops lagging pretty quickly, sometimes it takes quite a few minutes or longer. A total reboot always resolves the issue. Surface Pro devices enable bitlocker by default, so I tried disabling it but this did not help. I'm wondering if there are any settings I can tweak for how the system sleeps that might prevent this behavior? Or any other ideas? Thanks!

I tried again in a VM and it worked, so I don't know what the issue was. Wierd. oh well

This page doesn't seem to work for me. There's no where for me to enter my email. Anyone else having the same issue?

Here's hoping for an upgrade. Maybe all they have left is a 3090

I had a 2060 Super with two months of warrenty left start acting up on me this week. I just sent my GPU to EVGA for RMA yesterday. I'm very curious to see what they end up sending me

Hi everyone, I'm hoping to get some other opinions on what might be wrong with my system... A week or two ago, my system started crashing randomly and intermittently. The displays go black and the GPU fans ramp up to 100% like they do at power on and the system just hangs there until I hold the power button to kill power and restart. Sometimes this happens a few times a day and sometimes I can go a few days with no crash at all. Event Viewer has nothing interesting to tell. All I get is a Critical Event (41) and an Error Event (6008) both telling me that the last shutdown was unexpected, but of course I knew that already. I thought because the displays go black and the GPU fans ramp up that maybe my graphics driver is crashing, so I used DDU to uninstall and then reinstall the latest Nvidia drivers. I also updated to my latest available motherboard BIOS. No help. I then formatted and reinstalled Windows to nuke any other software problems, and I've still had a few crashes after reinstalling. So now I'm starting to think hardware... Coincedently (or maybe not), I had a couple of DP to HDMI adapters plugged in that both seem to have died after the very first crash... Is this starting to sound like a defective GPU? I really don't want to replace my GPU... It is possible that this is a PSU problem? Is it worth buying a new PSU before a new GPU? Or maybe is there something else I should try first? My system is about three years old. My Specs: Windows 11 Home 64 bit MSI MPG B550 Gaming Plus (Latest BIOS from July 2023) AMD Ryzen 7 3800X (Stock settings except Precision Boost Overdrive is Enabled) 2x32GB G.Skill Sniper X RAM (DDR4-3200 CL16, XMP Profile 1 Enabled) EVGA SC Ultra Gaming RTX 2060 Super (No Overclock, stock settings) WD Blue SN550 1TB NVME SSD (Boot Drive) Samsung 850 EVO 1TB SATA SSD (Games Drive) Corsair RM750 PSU (750W 80+ Gold) Thanks so much in advance for any insight you might be able to provide.

Did you end up getting a copy of it? I signed up but too late for the first issue. I'm looking for it too.

I would consider old hardware to be basically ideal for a NAS, especially at home. I got an old Dell PowerEdge T310 tower server on Ebay for about $100 Canadian a couple years ago. It has a 4 core 8 thread Xeon chip. I upgraded the ram to 32GB for like $25 because it's DDR3 and added some spare disks I had in a drawer already anyways and I'm running Unraid on it now. It's super great! I even run several VMs on it for plex, torrents, game servers, etc. Surplus server hardware can be had for pretty cheap. It usually still works great and it keeps it out of a landfill. My server is plenty performant for my wife and I at home. In fact, she watches a lot more tv and movies than I do, so I like to joke that she actually gets more use out of my server purchase than I do

Wow, this is awesome! Works perfectly on my MSI MPG B550 Gaming Plus Mobo. Is the source code available, by chance? Could I compile this myself? I just see the binaries in the repo on GitHub. Edit: Nevermind. I found the GitHub issue where this was already discussed. Thanks!

I found this brilliant workaround on YouTube this morning and thought I would share it. @LinusTech I remember you mentioning in a video that you have this issue all the time at the office. You should install this script for everyone who's connected to the network drives! https://gist.github.com/BattleNonSense/fb27377bc8a0ca2e9c58f28924ce277b

Nope. I live in a very rural area with not a lot going for me. Yes, I realize this. I intend only personal/experimental usage. I just want to see if I can get it to work.

I want to host a server at home that I can access on the go. However, my ISP has me under an extra later of NAT, so I don't have an externally addressable IP address. Therefore, my goal is to gain one. My best idea so far is to use a free-tier Google Cloud Platform Compute instance, which has an external IP address, to mediate the traffic. So far, I've installed OpenVPN on my cloud server. I can connect to it, but it doesn't seem to pass any network traffic through. I can't access the internet when I'm connected. My end goal is to have my home server addressable with the IP address of my VPN server. Can anyone offer any suggestions?

I'm not sure if WSL2 insider build is available yet, but I think it would be really cool to see a deep dive into WSL1 vs WSL2 with Anthony to see the technical and performance differences between them. The new and upcoming Windows Terminal app could also have an honorable mention!

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I eventually solved this issue and thought someone landing here from Google way in the future might be interested in how this story ended. According to this, dual-rank 4GB RDIMMs are not supported. They have to be either dual-rank UDIMMs or QUAD-rank RDIMMs. I eventually got some quad-rank 8GB RDIMMs from eBay which have been working just fine. "Rank" is not a RAM specification I had ever heard of before. And what's even more confusing is that the information in that post actually conflicts with the information in the Dell Poweredge T310 user manual which actually states that my original RAM should have been fine. Man, server hardware is confusing. You don't even wanna know about the motherboard form factor and CPU cooling situation in this thing...
