  1. More wondering if a sandy bridge chip would be able to fix a WU before it expires, lol
  2. Winter is coming, looks like I can get back to folding. Still trying decide if it's worth adding my old optiplex mechines to the pile or just run my gaming and editing rigs...
  3. I was hoping they were going to wait until you can actually get your hands on a 3000 Series before they patch the holes that let you use the older Hardware with the new software. I've got no problem buying the new card they want me to, to use the new software, but I can't get my hands on them. Lol
  4. I had RTX voice working on my 1060gtx laptop card. It worked fine for a few months but here recently it stopped working and I can't get it to remove noise, it'll still open up and act like it's working with the card but none of the noise gets removed and I checked all my settings and they're all the same they were. Did Nvidia change something make the GTX card/RTX voice workaround no longer work? Or am I possibly missing something else?
  5. see if see if he can borrow a ryzen 1000 or ryzen 2000 series chip because I think that motherboard is on the list of boards that needs a bios update to work with that CPU.
  6. First thing I would do is check to make sure that the power supply is giving enough power, you can do that with a voltmeter if you're familiar with electricity, Or you can buy another power adapter and power brick offline. I don't know if this is one of those cases but I've heard of laptops acting up real bad when the battery is completely fried, might want to look into buying a replacement offline if they offer it. Any further checking of the actual voltage between the components would require taking the laptop apart and is not something for you to do if you're not willing to take the risk of making mistakes and possibly permanently brick your laptop. I would also check to see if there's been another bio update because the previous update helped somehow even if it was only temporary.
  7. I think they're onto something with this one. I would try that and then try to check for updates on your drivers for the graphics card in case there's specific bug fixes.
  8. Microcenter has always had the best deals when I've been shopping, their 'house brand' powerspec it's probably the cheapest I would ever go on a power supply. I actually prefer EVGA or Corsair though.
  9. Remember power supplies will degrade a little bit over time, and even when new should not be run at the limit of their range, so even if it should be doable you always want to have a bit extra for error between reported output and actual output. Those graphics cards were good but they were power hungry. I've also heard of a similar issue being the result of a bad motherboard but I would test the power supply first by swapping for a more powerful one.
  10. What type of power supply unit do you have, I just remembered another time I had a similar issue somebody put a new PCIe (grafics) card into a computer that didn't have enough power coming from the power supply and it caused all their USB ports to turn on and off anytime the PCIe card ramped-up. The problem was according to a power calculator they needed about 400 watts and their power supply was rated for 400 watts, however power supplies will degrade just a little bit over time even the good ones, so their power supply was only pushing in let's say 380 or 390 so when he turned everything on he was missing a few Watts.
  11. Do you have a volt meter? I only know two ways to test a USB port(I'm sure there are others), one is swap for a know good port(which costs money) the other is a volt meter to check voltage at the contacts. (and that only checks if its getting the correct power, not data issues) .
  12. What usb divices are you using and how many? Are you using a hub, adapter, or an extention?
  13. If you can catch it on a good sale I say go for it. I tend to wait until a graphics card is below $200 before I consider it.
