    Are you sure those were from legit sources and not the sites that push you to install their magical "fix drivers" softmalware? If a website suggest to use a random 3rd party program, I am very skeptical at everything they say.

     

    I'm not expert, but my intuition says this could be an issue with the RAM. I'm judging that by the various types of memory errors, as well as SIGSEGV (segmentation fault).

     

    Do you have any chance of trying a different RAM stick? Or if that 8GB is in 2x 4GB configuration, try unplugging one of those and run with only 4GB to see if you still get an error and then retry with the other one. 
    If it's a single stick and you do not have any other option, you could go to a computer repair shop and ask them if they can try it. From my experience, if you're able to self-diagnose and are nice, they might charge you for just the parts (or even free if you end up figuring out that's not the issue), but I might be lucky, so YMMV.

    Thanks for your answer!

     

    Those "malware" sites I am well aware of lol. I avoided those for sure, and if I remember correctly was checking a forum post on Microsoft, and toms-hardware. Mostly they pushed towards DriverVerifier but I am not gonna try to run that because it might take hours to diagnose the driver in which I don't have the time simply for that. 

     

    The laptop is sadly a single 8gb stick or I first thing for sure would have tried it. 

     

    Oh well. I don't really know what to do at this point because I wouldn't trust a repair shop unless it was absolutely necessary and reliable ones go way out of budget. 

     

    Thanks anyway! If there is anything else to chime in, feel free to do so!

  2. For some context, this laptop is my secondary one so there is not much mission critical needs here. The laptop is an HP Pavilion cs-0064st with i7-8550u, 8GB ram, 1TB HDD and 16GB Optane Memory. 

     

    I was already getting BSOD's in Windows 10 for a while around Jun of last year, but then they stopped randomly and for about 5 months I had a very smooth experience. Now just about last week, I started getting those BSOD's again. The error codes were I believe: SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION and MEMORY_MANAGEMENT. Upon Googling them, I would find hints toward driver issues. 

     

    So this weekend I decide to tackle the issues with a clean install of Windows 10. And things do downfall here. 

    1. The Windows 10 Installer gives me an error and says there might be something wrong with my USB.

     

    2. I install Windows 11 which successfully installs but I get like 5 BSOD's even one during the setup process. One BSOD was in Edge: `STATUS_STACK_BUFFER_OVERRUN`. Then the rest were just normal OS tasks: `SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION`, `KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED`, `MEMORY_MANAGEMENT` and `KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE`.

     

    3. I try installing Ubuntu 18.04 which gets installed but can't perform package updates and has issues. But based on past experience I try upgrading to 20.04 which fails through. I can't do clean install 20.04 because of Optane RST issues.

     

    4. Finally I did Cloudready Chromium OS which just killed browser processes randomly every few minutes. The "Aw Snap!" pages were: `SIGSEGV` and `SIGILL`. 

     

    Just to mention, a big reason why I was able to sustain through all these OS installs and errors is because I do programming so jumping back in and fixing and retrying were already part of me, and didn't get me annoyed or anything lol!

     

    And I did Google most of the errors and couldn't match up the scenario. 

     

    Hopefully the community can help out get this laptop maybe back up and running to a 99% stable point because as a student this laptop was within a budget range which is why I was willing to take it to and from school. But if I can't, not a big issue because all my tasks can still get done!

    That's why I asked you to paste the results of the command prompt query. It could be something else.

    Timer set by [SERVICE] \Device\HarddiskVolume3\Windows\System32\svchost.exe (SystemEventsBroker) expires at 6:59:25 PM on 12/31/2020.
      Reason: Windows will execute 'Maintenance Activator' scheduled task that requested waking the computer.

    Type this into an elevated (run as administrator) command prompt: 

     

     

    Paste the results in a reply. Most likely though, it's just Windows' automatic maintenance. It usually runs every day at a time that you historically don't use the computer. Why it's not giving power to peripherals is a separate issue, though it should go back to sleep after a while. You can avoid the scheduled maintenance by shutting down instead of sleeping or by disabling it in control panel by searching for the "automatic maintenance" setting.

    It doesn't go back to sleep, I let it do its thing for about 7-8 hours, and it was still awake. 

  5. Here is the situation. The computer put to sleep around 10 PM. Then randomly at night, the computer will start up. 

     

    However... there is no display output, the mouse/keyboard don't receive power, so my only option is to force restart with the power button. 

     

    I have checked this with network plugged in or plugged out, no difference. 

     

    I have reinstalled windows and still same issue.

     

    Any suggestions will be welcome!

    is 60 decibels a foot away from your pc too loud

    A simple google search about 60db would have helped. 

     

    Quote

    Sound is measured in decibels (dB). A whisper is about 30 dB, normal conversation is about 60 dB, and a motorcycle engine running is about 95 dB. Noise above 70 dB over a prolonged period of time may start to damage your hearing. Loud noise above 120 dB can cause immediate harm to your ears.

    Maybe if it lets you change settings for rst.

     

    I wouldn't be suprised if you can't use the drive outsite of windows, there have been many features like that before.

    I just rememberd. So first I put PopOS, then I decided to put Zorin OS on it. Before I installed Zorin OS, I didn't remember that I needed RST in Zorin, but I remember seeing an option in the bios to turn it on/off, so maybe I install Windows, I might get that option back.

    ooof. I hope there is an update on this in the future.

    Either im missing it and someone else knows, or that bios is designed to only work with optane caching in windows.

    k. Do you think booting into windows, and enabling/disabling inside of Windows 10 could help?

    seems like raid mode is on in the bios, can you turn it to ahci or off? The raid mode hides the drives from the os.

    In Bios I see:

    - Main

    - Security

    - System Configuration 

      - Language

      ...

      - Boot Options

        - USB Boot

        - Network Boot

        - Network Boot Protocol

        - Legacy Support

        - Secure Boot

      - UEFI Device Config

        - Intel Rapid Storage Technology

          - SATA 0.0 HGST .... 931.5GB

          - PCIe 1.0, INtel .... 13.4 GB

     

    Then clicking on the drives just reveal info, and no way to change anything.

    what do you see when you run lsblk in linux? or lspci?

     

    You normally need to install a os on i before its bootable

    then you can just format and use it. That 13.2 gb drive is the optane module. The optane m.2 drives are just standard m.2 drives and will work like any other.

    The problem is that I cannot see it in the OS. (Elementary OS)

     

    The bios ain't giving me an option either.

    Are you trying to setup the caching? Or do you want them seprate as a seprate drive?

    You can just format it and use it as a drive, or I think you need to install the optane app in windows 10 to use it as a cache drive.

    I am trying to use another OS besides Windows, and I want to use it as a separate drive. 

  14. I am trying to make Optane Memory act as an SSD, but in the bios, I see the "Intel Rapid Technology" option, but inside of it, it shows my HDD and the 13.2 GB drive, but when I click on them, it doesn't give me any other option.

     

    I have a HP laptop, cs0006st. I have read many HP forum posts, and can't seem to find a solution. 

     

    Hopefully someone here may have some knowledge on this.

    Can I download the free version of windows 10 from a MacBook onto a 8-Gig flash drive and use it to boot up my new computer?

    Yes you can. You can use a software like Baleena Etcher to do so. Just download the ISO from the web, then put your USB, then select the flash drive in Baleena Etcher and go!

    Hello everyone,

    I have recently gotten interested into coding and that of programming. So through this I wish to get a laptop with Kali Linux, and I know that an I5 and 8 GB of ram is most likely necessary. I was just wondering if anyone knew a laptop that is under 300 dollars and has either of these specs or is able to be upgraded to these specs for not much money. 

    Thank you for any help!

     

     

    Kinda hard to find a laptop with Kali Linux, but any normal Windows Laptop can get Kali Linux

    Just replace the 1tb HDD with an SSD.  Best of all worlds there.

    I would, but that won't be cost effective as I use the laptop rarely. Long boot times didn't affect me much before, but after I started using Mac's with SSD's and all, it kinda broke my habit of waiting for laptops to boot. 

  18. In my laptop I have a 16gb Intel Optane. Now I am using Linux and with a 1 TB hard drive, Linux boots very slowly (Ubuntu). Is there a way I can use the Intel Optane Memory module as a normal SSD or as a high speed storage, so I can boot Ubuntu from the Optane instead of Hard Drive. 

     

    Thanks!

    Using both Chrome and Firefox, I get ER_CONNECTION_CLOSED and PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR respectively, with the occasional PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR on Firefox. Games will also not connect to their servers. I have changed the DNS on both the gateway and my PC to Google's with no effect. Everything works fine when my VPN is on and on the neighbors' network. Issue is over wifi and ethernet. I have no antivirus or firewall besides Windows Defender. I also changed the coax cable if that means anything. Every other device on the network runs better than ever. Appreciate any help resolving this issue.

     

    On the PC, check if the gateway address is fine or something. Can you ping your router/gateway?
