  1. Hi everyone, I am connecting my laptop via HDMI to my ultrawide. However, I am unable to choose the native resolution of my monitor, it will only go up to 2560 x 1440 while the native resolution of my monitor is 3440 x 1440. My laptop is a Lenovo Ideapad 5 15ARE with an AMD 4800u. According to the tech sheets it should support a max resolution of 3840 x 2160 @ 30 HZ through HDMI. My monitor is an iiyama 34" ultrawide with HDMI 2.0 ports. Am I missing something? Since the monitors resolution is beneath the max resolution of the laptop through HDMI I would figure this wouldn't be a problem?
  2. Hi everyone, I am learning C# through evening school and I have a question regarding responsive design in WPF applications and what the best practices are. I've been looking op quite some info and most examples I see seem to implement mostly grids and nesting them. I created the following design for a Rock-Paper-Scissors app. However, because I had some trouble with the stackpanel on the left acting strange I asked some feedback from my teacher. She didn't really comment the design other that I build it up pretty weird. So now I'm trying to figure out what the best way is to create a nice, fluent design that scales properly. Down below is a screenshot and the xaml code of the layout. Perhaps somebody here can tell my if the design is somewhat correct regarding best practices or that I did a real poor job Screenshot of the app: The code (I only posted the actual grid of the application) <Grid> <!--Main grid definitions--> <Grid.RowDefinitions> <RowDefinition Height="25"/> <RowDefinition Height="40"/> <RowDefinition Height="*"/> <RowDefinition Height="40"/> </Grid.RowDefinitions> <Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <ColumnDefinition Width="13*"/> <ColumnDefinition Width="20"/> <ColumnDefinition Width="68*"/> <ColumnDefinition Width="20*"/> </Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <!--TITEL BAR--> <Grid Background="#030322" Grid.ColumnSpan="4" MouseDown="Grid_MouseDown"> <Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <ColumnDefinition/> <ColumnDefinition/> <ColumnDefinition/> <ColumnDefinition/> <ColumnDefinition/> <ColumnDefinition/> <ColumnDefinition/> <ColumnDefinition/> <ColumnDefinition/> <ColumnDefinition/> <ColumnDefinition/> <ColumnDefinition/> <ColumnDefinition/> <ColumnDefinition/> </Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <Button Style="{StaticResource closeButton}" x:Name="BtnSluiten" Content="X" FontSize="12" FontWeight="Medium" Grid.Column="13" Click="BtnSluiten_Click" /> <Button Style="{StaticResource windowButton}" x:Name="BtnMaximize" Content="&#9633;" FontSize="20" FontWeight="Medium" Grid.Column="12" Click="BtnMaximize_Click"/> <Button Style="{StaticResource windowButton}" x:Name="BtnMinimize" Content="-" FontSize="14" FontWeight="Medium" Grid.Column="11" Click="BtnMinimize_Click"/> </Grid> <!-- MENU --> <Grid Grid.ColumnSpan="4" Grid.Row="1"> <Menu> <MenuItem Template="{StaticResource topMenuItem}" Header="Bestand"> <MenuItem Template="{StaticResource subMenuItem}" Header="Sluiten"/> </MenuItem> <MenuItem Template="{StaticResource topMenuItem}" Header="Help"> <MenuItem Template="{StaticResource subMenuItem}" Header="Regels"/> </MenuItem> </Menu> </Grid> <!-- User choice stackpanel --> <StackPanel Grid.Row="2" Grid.ColumnSpan="1" Margin="20"> <Viewbox Margin="0,0,0,30"> <Button x:Name="BtnBlad" Style="{DynamicResource ButtonBlad}" Click="BtnBlad_Click"/> </Viewbox> <Viewbox Margin="0,0,0,30"> <Button x:Name="BtnSteen" Style="{DynamicResource ButtonSteen}" Click="BtnSteen_Click"/> </Viewbox> <Viewbox Margin="0,0,0,20"> <Button x:Name="BtnSchaar" Style="{DynamicResource ButtonSchaar}" Click="BtnSchaar_Click"/> </Viewbox> </StackPanel> <!-- STATUS BAR --> <StatusBar Grid.Row="3" Grid.ColumnSpan="4" Background="#0F0F2D" Foreground="White" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"> <StatusBarItem Content="Ready" Foreground="White" Margin="10,0,5,0"/> <StatusBarItem Margin="5,0,5,0"> <Image Source="img/logo.png" /> </StatusBarItem> <StatusBarItem Margin="5,0,0,0"> <Label Content="" Foreground="White"/> </StatusBarItem> <StatusBarItem HorizontalAlignment="Right" > <Label Content="Hier komt de tijd te staan" Foreground="White"/> </StatusBarItem> </StatusBar> <!-- Playingfield Grid --> <Grid Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="2"> <!-- playfield grid definitions --> <Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/> <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/> </Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <Grid.RowDefinitions> <RowDefinition Height="65*"/> <RowDefinition Height="35*"/> </Grid.RowDefinitions> <!-- User playingfield --> <Grid Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Margin="20"> <Image Source="img/blad.png"/> </Grid> <Grid Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" Margin="0,0,0,0"> <Viewbox> <Label Content="5" Foreground="White"/> </Viewbox> </Grid> <!-- Computer playingfield --> <Grid Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1" Margin="20"> <Image Source="img/blad.png"/> </Grid> <Grid Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Margin="0,0,0,0"> <Viewbox> <Label Content="5" Foreground="White"/> </Viewbox> </Grid> </Grid> </Grid>
  3. I updated the receivers firmware and the problem seems to have been fixed. Thanks for your input!
  4. Hi, I tried that but the banding still remains.
  5. Hi everyone, I have the following setup here at home: LG 55CX nVidia Shield Pro 2020 Denon x2400h The Shield is connected to the receiver via HDMI and the receiver is connected to the tv via HDMI. When watching a movie (Captain Marvel) yesterday I noticed terrible banding on scenes that contained a lot of smoke or a clear blue sky. When I use the internal media player of my tv the banding is not there. When I connect the shield directly to the tv, the banding also disapears. So the problem seems to be at the receivers end. But I always thought that the receiver was supposed to only handle the audio and just passthrough the video. I am using the latest kodi version on my Shield. Are there any settings I am missing, either on the media player or receivers end? It's a relatively expensive setup so it should work as it's supposed to in my opinion. I just hope the receiver isn't malfunctioning, since it's out of waranty and it just sucks to remove the cables. I am looking forward to any suggestion regarding my problem.
  6. When I use dells power management app or look in the bios I can see that the battery is still at 97% of it's health. I'm not going to spend money on something that might not fix the problem.
  7. It's the one the laptop shipped with when I bought it in october last year.
  8. Hi everyone, I currently have a Dell Inspiron 7590 with an Intel i7 9750H, 16 GB single channel, 512 GB ssd. Whenever I try to use the laptop on battery the performance goes down the drain. The power plan in the control pannel is set to "balanced", and when I hover it over the battery icon in the task bar it says "high performance". But still the CPU won't go any higher than 1.2 Ghz and usually stays at arround 0.9 Ghz. Now I know my laptop does this to preserve battery but honestly the laptop is completely useless when I try to use it on battery. Webpages load slow, Windows Explorer isn't snappy, software loads incredibly slow. Even if I put the laptop on max performance it still won't boost any higher and keeps being slow. I have tried it on the basic windows config it comes with from the factory and with a completely fresh Win 10 Pro install but it stays the same. I've tried older and newer BIOS versions but without any success. Anyone have any tips or idea on what I could do now? I've resorted on using my older ideapad with an i7 8550u cause it's much more responsive.
  9. Hi everyone, I have a pc with the folowing configuration: Ryzen 2700 Asus prime x470 16 GB Corsair Vengeance 3200 mhz 500 GB Samsung nvme Asus RTX 2070 Corsair RM650X Now it seems that my cpu never boosts to 4.1 Ghz, it keeps at 3.4 Ghz when I run a benchmark such as CineBench. CPU package temp never goes above +- 50 degrees celcius. Turbo boost seems to be enabled in the BIOS from what I can tell. Is there something I'm missing to enable turboboost on my CPU? thanks for any help
  10. Unfortunatelly the problem still occurs. Edit: The problem seems to only occur when I hide the search box from the taskbar. But I don't like showing it since it takes way to much space.
  11. @Nishant Kumar Thanks man, your suggestion to run the trouble shooter worked!
  12. I don't have SearchUI.exe, the only 2 processes I have are: SearchApp.exe SearchIndexer.exe I believe you misunderstood. The black screen only happens when I activate the search. When I'm using Windows normally all icons and wallpaper show as they are supposed to. It's when I hit WIN + S to activate search that this happens. But thanks non the less for the suggestion!
  13. Hi everyone, I recently did a clean install of Windows 10 and updated to the latest version. Everything was working fine for a couple of days until all of a sudden Windows Search started to act strange. When I hit WIN + S the search box takes up half the screen and blackens the rest of the screen. I've attached an image to show what happens when I hit WIN + S. Is there any way I can "reset" the windows search to it's original state? The search function itself still works but it just looks completely weird. Thanks for any help
  14. Hi everyone, I have 6 LL120 fans. I have all 6 RGB headers connected to the lighting node and a Thermaltake Commander FP. Now the problem is that random individual LED's flicker on and off at random times. First I thought it was a faulty fan but since it happens to all fans I doubt they are all faulty since. Sometimes 2-3 fans just completely turn of the lights for a second. Even the lighting on the cpu block of my H100i keeps changing color or flickering. The only things that are behaving like they should are my RAM (Vengeance RGB Pro) and 1 fan (it's connected to slot 1 of the lighting node). Also, iCue doesn't seem to be able to properly drive or connect the rgb lighting of the fans. For instance, when I want to edit the fan colours, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. If I want to disable all fan rgb lights it still keeps 1 or 2 led's burning. So I basicly have no real controle over the lighting. I've tried installing the older iCue software but that didn't help. Anyone have an idea of what I could do to solve this problem or the best way to troubleshoot this. The only other lighting software I have is Asus Auro for my graphics card and motherboard but those are both set to a static color and the software isn't running at the moment. Regards
  15. Okay thanks. When I hover over the battery icon it says "Best performance", the slider is all the way to the right. But even loading an explorer window isn't as snappy as you would expect. It always takes a split second to load.
  16. But it can't be that I'm supposed to have slow performance and a cpu that doesn't clock higher than +- 1.2 Ghz on battery? It pretty much makes any real work sluggish and downright uncomfortable.
  17. Hi everyone, I currently have a Dell Inspiron 7590 with an Intel i7 9750H, 16 GB single channel, 512 GB ssd. Now when I have it plugged in with the charger it gives the performance one could expect from those specs. But when using it on battery it's slow in response and far from snappy. It keeps the cpu anywhere between 800 Mhz and 1.4 Ghz. I know that the cpu runs at lower speed when on battery, but it won't even boost up when under heavy load (such as running multiple vm's). Even opening explorer windows isn't snappy when using the laptop on battery power. Battery life is all good and well, but I would rather have the performance and have it boost higher than having a slow laptop that can run on battery for half an hour longer. The power plan in the control pannel is set to "balanced", and when I hover it over the battery icon in the task bar it says "high performance". Is there any setting I should adjust to have it boost higher on battery to get good performance?
  18. Hi everyone, I have 6 fans in my case: 4 x LL 120 2 x ML 120 (that came with my H100) I have all 6 RGB headers connected to the lighting node and connected the fans as following: 2 LL fans are connected to my H100 and the other 4 fans (2 x LL and 2 x ML) are connected to a Thermaltake Commander FP. Now the problem is that random individual LED's flicker on and off at random times. First I thought it was a faulty fan but since it happens to all fans I doubt they are all faulty since. Sometimes 2-3 fans just completely turn of the lights for a second. Also, iCue doesn't seem to be able to properly drive or connect the rgb lighting of the fans. For instance, when I want to edit the fan colours, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. If I want to disable all fan rgb lights it still keeps 1 or 2 led's burning. So I basicly have no real controle over the lighting. I've tried installing the older iCue software but that didn't help. Anyone have an idea of what I could do to solve this problem? I think the Lighting Node itself is defect. Regards
  19. I don’t really use the webcame anyway, but the nosecam placement bothers me in some way. I’m from belgium, I’ve got a budget of arround 1500€ (1700$) but it can stretch. The one I have now weighs just above 3 lbs but I don’t mind if it’s a bit heavier. Battery life should be at least a couple of hours (arround 6 sounds like an nice number).
  20. Hi everyone, due to a change in interests I am looking for a new laptop to replace my current MacBook pro 2016 touchbar. Use I recently started new studies and will be performing the following tasks: - programming in java, c#, python, php using programs such as Visual Studio, Intelij, Pycharm,... - run VM’s, sometimes 2 or 3 at a time - I use photoshop once in a blue moon or so - everyday tasks, office, browsing Why I’m switching I am tired of the keyboard and poor touchpad drivers under bootcamp. Although the build quality and screen overall is great I find myself often times anoyed. Also the small hdd space is givong me headaches. And bootcamp can only use the dedicated gpu which causes the laptop to heat up and drain battery. looking for a 15” (or possibly 17”) to help me with this. I am planning on getting a new desktop when the Ryzen 3000 cpu’s are released. In the mean time I’ll hook the laptop up to al external keyboard an monitor when I’m at home. I don’t really mind if the laptop is a few 100 grams heavier, I always travel with car. But I am looking to avoid large gaming laptops. I like the way lenovo laptops type, especially the ideapad. But most laptops only come with an i7 8550u. And I don’t know how it will compare to the 6700hq I have now. The XPS 15 also looks promising but too bad about the webcam placement (although I never use it) and the reported throtteling. But I don’t know how much the throttle would be an issue for me as I am not looking to export video’s and I will not game on this laptop. I am mostly wondering how the 8550u would do performance wise. In benchmarks the 6700hq usually wins but I don’t find benchmarks such as gaming and synthetics comparable with my usecase. I hope I have given enough info and hope to be able to find the perfect laptop for my needs. kind regards
