Got it. Do you think a complete reformat of the SSD would help? It doesn't seem like corruption on the SSD should effect me getting to the BIOS. Do you have any thoughts on that?

When installing Ubuntu on the system I ran into a problem during the install and had to unplug the PC. When attempting to boot back up, I am met with the Beelink splash screen where it prompts me to press DEL or f7 to enter the BIOS or boot menu respectively. The PC is completely unresponsive however and no amount of key pressing will get me off this screen. I have tried clearing the CMOS as suggested on their website, but no luck. Not being able to get off this screen I am a little lost as to what troubleshooting steps to take next. Is it possible the BIOS itself is corrupted? If so, does anybody have experience re-flashing it? Thank you in advance!

I have noticed that my CPU varies quite a bit in how much power it draws based on the workload, even with workloads that put 100 percent load on every thread. I recently wrote a program in Java that generates images from the Mandelbrot set. It is multithreaded and puts a 100 percent load on my 8 core CPU while running. However when I check the power draw, its only around 85 watts. When I run something like a Blender render the CPU draws around 110 watts, and if I run a prime 95 stress test, it can draw up to 150 watts. All of these workloads report 100 percent usage across all cores, and the top boost clock is the same in each. Can anybody explain this difference, I am just curious! Thank you!

I see. What would be a better option with comparable build quality (I’ve heard the build quality of the Razer blade is quite good, even if the actually components are not good.) and comparable price with a 2070 max Q. Any recommendations?

It’s from the official Razer store on eBay, with a 1 year warranty. I also move around a lot and a mobile setup for gaming and school is kinda what I’m looking for.

The listing boasts a 1 year manufacturer warranty. You say they won’t honor it?

I mostly care about the gaming performance. As long as the 8th gen Intel won’t bottleneck the 2070 max Q, I don’t plan on doing much cpu intensive activities (apart from gaming).

I would start with double checking all the connections. Re-seating the RAM, triple checking the graphics card if seated properly, checking if the power to the Morherboard and GPU are firmly secured. I would try a different HDMI cable, or a different video out port on your GPU. If none of these things produce a different result, it could be a dead CPU. I had a similar problem with a system a few weeks ago and turns out the CPU was dead on arrival. Where did you buy your parts?

I am in the market for a new laptop for distance learning and for gaming. I have been looking around for something in the 1200 1500 dollar range. I recently found the Official Razer store on eBay where they sell manufacturer refurbished units. I was wondering if the 2019 Razer blade with the intel i7-8750H, 16GB of ram, 144hz display and a 2070 Max Q, is going to be a good investment long term for gaming. Is buying an 8th gen Intel config in 2020 a stupid idea? I just through that this configuration at 1400 bucks is a pretty good value. Thank you!

1440 does not show up as an option in the Nvidia control panel. I have not tired creating a custom resolution yet. Could that work?

HDMI and display port. But the display port out on the GPU is hooked up the the first monitor, so the HDMI is the only port left on the GPU to drive the second monitor. Except for the DVI I guess. Haven’t tried that, not sure if DVI supports 1440p.

Just 60hz at 1440p

My dad recently purchased a new PC for work with a GTX 1650. He has 2 1440p displays. The display port out is able to drive the monitor at 1440p, but the HDMI out seems to max out at 1080p. It is not the cable, as the cable we used is good for 4k60. Is this some sort of driver or software issue, or is the HDMI out on the 1650 really only able to do 1080p? I looked at the specs for the 1650 and it seems like it should be able to handle at least 1440, but the customer support at Digital Storm said that the HDMI on the 1650 can only handle 1080p. Thank you!

Interestingly enough I get the console message that the server is running behind, but the performance does not seem to suffer, and the CPU usage seems under control.

Hello, Sorry in advance if this is not the correct location to post this. I am running a raspberry pi 4 (4GB ram) with Rasbian OS. I am running a Minecraft server and occasionally it will just crash. Attached is the message I get when the crash occurs. Is this just a simple case of the server running out of memory? There is 2.6 GB of ram allocated to the process and it seems like that should be enough for a small 2 person Minecraft server. I suspect it might have something to do with the 32 bit operating system that the Pi runs. Any insights? Thank you!
