  1. I bought an LG 27GP850 about 2 years back, and it was fine for a while, but it started displaying odd behavior. If i was using the extended freesync mode, and had gsync enabled, every so often, the screen would go black (backlight turned off too) for a second or two, often flashing on for a split second before turning off again. It would do this several times before the image came back. I sent it back to LG to repair it twice, but nothing helped. Ive used multiple different display port cables, different ports on the back of my gpu, i also bought a whole new gpu (not for thos reason, i was upgrading anyway), but nothing has fixed it. I was convinced it was the monitor at fault, not anything else, as the only other suspects i thought about could by gpu, which was brand new, and this was a problem on both the old and new one, or the cable, which as i said, was switched out several times. I bought a new monitor, and its happening on this monitor as well. The LG doesnt have this problem on my brothers computer so im kind stuck at this point. Its a massive problem, as i will be in the middle of a gun fight or something, and every other game, i will just lose the image for a couple seconds. I asked on reddit, and someone said they had a similar problem to me, and theres was caused by an improperly seated graphics card. I checked mine, but its as far in as it will go. This however did get me thinking. I had no problem with the monitor for a long while after i got it, but one thing i did do is buy a new case, the fractal design pop air. Is it possible that the case could be preventing me from fully seating the gpu? I didnt think of this initially, as this problem doesnt occur on my tv, which gsync is also enabled on, and i mostly use my tv anyway, and its never happened once on there.
  2. Okay, so i updated to the latest bios as a last ditch attempt, and it finally worked. The reason i didnt try earlier is cos i didnt know if they removed support for older cpus, but it works just fine.
  3. I tried it with ubuntu live usb and it also doesnt work so its defo the mobo. Ill see if msi can help, if not ill have to return it.
  4. How can i be sure its a faulty board though? And not some driver issue? It seems odd that BOTH ethernet ports would be busted, as well my wifi card not working, yet everything else works fine?
  5. No it doesnt work. Also, the port lights on either ethernet port are not active.
  6. There is no realtek network adapter in the device manager, thats the biggest issue. Many of the solutions i find were asking me to do something with it, but its not even there in the first place
  7. I cannot find any deep sleep setting in the bios. I mean a pci wifi card, not built in. Ive tried ethernet, no luck.
  8. While waiting for my 5900x to arrive, i decided to put 2600 into my new b550 tomahawk as i heard it works fine. I know its not offically supported (which may well be the issue) but the cpu works fine, its just i have no internet? Ive tried every solution i can fine, and nothing works. Ive installed thr chipset drives, the lan drivers, i even put my old wifi card in and installed those drivers. Nothing. The only thing that works is usb thethering from my phone, but nothing else. The only adapters that show up when i click show adapter options, is my bluetooth dongle, no ethernet or wifi card or anything. In device manager, under network adapters, its just the blutooth again, as well ad a whole bunch of different WAN things. No realtek ethernet or wifi card or anything. In device manager again, under other devices, it says network controller. No idea of this is the realtek ethernet or the wifi card as its just that generic name, but its got the yellow triangle saying its not working, and nothing i do seems to help. When i downloaded the lan drivers from msi, and installed them, when it was done it said somethig along the lines of realtek network adapter could not be found, if deep sleep is enabled plug in the cable or something like that. Apparently i had to reset my motherboard settings to fix that, so i did, and it still didnt help. What can i do? Ive tried everything i could find, so if u give me a solution, dont be surprise if i tell u it wont work. Thanks in advance.
  9. this sounds like a good solution, however, im not familiar with raid. I did a quick search and found this https://pureinfotech.com/setup-raid-5-windows-10/ would this be how I should do it? do I need specific drives, or will regular drives work, as im not sharing files on the network, or leaving my pc running 24/7, and will I lose all the data due to formatting when I do it?
  10. While it wouldnt be the end of the world if i lost it, it would be a nightmare to re rip everything.
  11. I have no more space inside the case, only 3 trays, though theres no reason i couldnt replace one of the two 1tb drives i have. What about redundency?
  12. Like a hard drive dock kind of thing? If thats what u mean i thought about that shortly after posting, but 3.5 inch drives are too big for me to physically store them and 2.5 inch drives are more expensive, but ill see what i can do.
  13. I have an 8tb seagate baracuda at the moment as my main storage drive, its very new so im not concerned about failure anytime soon (fingerd crossed), though it doesnt have any redundency. My need is simply more storage, and i thought of a nas, but they seem very expensive, and building one also seems too expensive for my use case as well. I have about 1.6tb free on that drive, i would like to double total capacity to 16tb, with redundency as well. All i need is more space, i dont need to access my files while out and about. Its mainly movie and tv shows ripped from bluray at full quality, no reencoding. I just move the stuff i want to watch or what i may want to watch to a 2tb external hdd i have connected directly to my tv. Nas drives seem quite a bit more expensive, and i dont want to spend a whole load more money on the convenience of not needing to shuffle files around if i want to watch them, 2tb is plenty for many movies and even full series taking 100s of gb, so it itsnt a massive inconvenience, nor is not being able to stream them on the go. If i want to watch it on my phone, i simply reencode with handbrake using nvenc, so its super snappy. What would u recommend?
  14. But with the consoles having ssds, wont that cause game devs to optimize games for them? Causing huge gains in load times?
  15. The next generation of consoles, the ps5 and project scarlett are going to have ssds that are much faster than todays drives, probably pcie gen 4 and potentionally maxing out the x4 bandwith, which i believe sits around the 8 gigabytes a second range. Pcie 4 ssds now are around 5. Will current ssds still be relevant for PCs as it relates to gaming when these consoles are released at the end of 2020? What kind of performance difference will there be? Im probably not going to upgrade my pc as it stands, and build a new one early to mid 2021, but i may salvage some stuff from my current one, namely the ssds, i have a 500gb samsung 970 evo plus, and a 1tb samsung 860 evo. Will these still be sufficient at that point in time? I may buy another new one as a boot drive at that point anyway, but im just wondering. I have plenty of time to think about it.
