I just recently got back from unplugging for a few days and searched my inbox to see if any news was released about the backpack or screwdriver. It was only then that I noticed that I never received confirmation at all that I added my email to the list. Is this just me? Did any of you receive a notification that your email was successfully added to the list to be notified when stock arrives?

This is much ado about nothing. ThinkCentre PCs are enterprise focused. In the enterprise, component theft is a real thing. The m75q model in the cited article is sold by the millions to corporation while consumers do not generally purchase them. I'm not saying they never do but it's probably a single digit percentage of total sales of that model. That model is extremely easy to open and pulling out a Ryzen 7 and replacing it with a Ryzen 3 could be done in minutes. This is purely a security play. Remember, AMD tends to keep their socket architectures in production for a quite some time. So someone with a R5 1600 could swap their proc for a R5 3600 and it happens way more frequently than you'd think.

Thanks for the ideas. I tried all three with no luck. I'm just going to backup, format and start fresh.

At some point last night there was a very brief (less than 1 second) power surge at my house. It caused my PC (ROG x570, Ryzen 7 3800x, 32GB 3600mhz Trident Z, MSI 2070 Super, Dual 1TB m.2) to shut down awkwardly. I later learned checking Windows event viewer that Windows logged an Event 41 Kernel Power error. Holding the power button down for 5-7 seconds didn't shut the PC down. I had to flip the power supply switch to force it to full power down and restart. Upon restarting everything seemed fine but my GOXLR app gave me an error 400 that it couldn't verify the version with the server. Then Chrome wouldn't open at all. I double click on the icon and nothing happens. Edge works fine and a speed test shows that my up and down speeds are both normal. Steam works, Epic launcher works, pretty much everything that requires an internet connection works except for Chrome and that weird GOXLR error. Here's what I've tried so far: I've uninstalled and re-installed Chrome twice. Once I just did a quick uninstall and reinstall and the second time I deleted all app and user data before reinstalling. I've run a MalwareBytes scan that returned nothing of any concern I've tried running Chrome as Administrator, renaming the shortcut, and launching the exe directly from a file explorer window. I've reset my network settings, flushed my DNS, reset my IP, reset winsock At this point, I don't know what else to do short of a complete clean Windows install, which I'm not opposed to but I just don't want to take the time to do all that if I can avoid it. Any other ideas? Thanks so much in advance for your help.

I recently built a rig with an ASUS ROG Strix x570-E Gaming mobo. I'm having an issue where something is throttling my upload speed. I've run a speed test on several devices hooked into the same switch and I get 900Mbps to 950Mbps consistently up and down on my 1Gbps internet connection. On my desktop rig however, I'm getting 900Mbps down and at most 180Mbps up. I've tried forcing a 1Gbps full duplex connection in my Ethernet adapter settings in Windows and all my drivers are up to date. I feel like there's something I'm missing in an Asus utility somewhere that is capping my speed. If anyone can offer a suggestion, I would greatly appreciate it.
