    Thus Ensuring that it will be archived in a number of spots making it impossible to remove forever

    Yeah that power supply should be fine for a 760. I used the same one for a 980 and it was great. I'd go with cleaning out the computer

    What power supply do you have? You can check your temps to see using hardwareinfo, and look at it under load. Usually though this happens with an old power supply not being able to provide enough power during a spike.

    Here's what the Litigation Hold and Demand says Though this is from one side of the ordeal, I think the reasoning is sound. It's not as if the journalist used fraudulent credentials. The main point is that the website's source needs to be defined through law as authorized access or not. The Supreme Court says this Does the journalist exceed authorized access by looking at the website source? The defense lawyer obviously says no, saying

    This doesn't change the fact that anyone could access sensitive information within their browser. The reporter did not change anything within the computer systems either. That's no hacking, otherwise I've hacked half of the websites I've been on. Furthermore, the journalist doesn't need authorization to read a websites underlying HTML. That's a public document. Also, the difference between the State of Missouri and Google is that Google awards bounties. Missouri tries to award criminal charges.

    Cool ! Got it working. I put it on the proper drive. It gave me an excuse to switch to UEFI. I used another guide on the site for MBR.

    So, uh, I deleted my bootloader on accident. Windows has a happy habit of placing its bootloaders on other drives, so when I formatted a drive, it killed Windows. Right now, I'm without a Microsoft OS, so I need a different method than what I've used in the past. I can still boot into Ubuntu. I tried using an installation media, but it couldn't find Windows.

    Initial thoughts; It might be a PSU issue. How old is your PSU?

    All you have to do is when you reinstall steam, point your downloads back to the right folder on steam. You can replace your documents + company by backing them up on the drives too. Everything else sounds right

    I had the family computer with Windows 8 freshly installed. Unfortunately, I don't have a picture that doesn't have my siblings in it, but the equipment is still at my parents home. This is my current computer in all its dorm room glory

    I don't have XMP on my laptop, so I suppose I'll have to pony up the money.

    My laptop has these symptoms - Drivers crashing randomly, screen lockups, other processes crashing and whatnot. I also ran a memtest and saw a lot of red. Does that sound like I need new RAM?
  13. Estiar
    Use UEFI if possible. It's new, and makes it easier to go to Win 11

    Hope this helps

    If you have a z or x series chipset on your motherboard, you can overclock that cpu. The Arctic Freezer should give you some decent overclocking headroom. I'm partial to the Noctua NH-D15, which is massive

    Are there any other folders that are critical for Windows to run? (maybe syswow64)

    I want to fool around with destroying my windows VM. Unfortunately, (or fortunately for everyone else) it's not as simple as going into file explorer, going to system32 and deleting files. How would I go about doing that? (Powershell/cmd answers appreciated) :WARNING: Don't try this unless you know your important data is safe. If someone is giving you advice to delete files in system32, they're likely trolling you.

    I NEED HELP

    Estiar replied to Bags35's topic in Troubleshooting

    Do you know what motherboard you have?

    If you have a USB stick, you can try to make a linux bootable drive and see if your OS is the problem. (If you build computers in general, it's a good idea to keep one on hand) My guess is that your hard drive is going bad. (if that's the case, you might have to spend some money, but hard drives can be really cheap)
  20. Estiar
    Could be a number of things, your display might have come unplugged, is broken, or your computer fails to POST (see this thread to read about failure to POST) Hook up an external monitor to see if the screen is broken or if it's the computer itself

    Will running explorer as administrator work?
  22. Estiar
    That sounds like a good idea. I've little experience with liquid cooling, (I just put a Noctua on it and call it good) but I know the 7700k can really benefit from being overclocked, especially with a 3080 attached. A new cooler would give you the headroom you need to keep it running that much better. Glancing at reviews makes it look like a good choice.

    Memory training should only last a minute at most. If you can make sure you have these settings after you clear the CMOS again 4GB in the second slot Clock speed of 1066 MHz Make sure the RAM is seated properly

    the NVidia GeForce Experiance software gets you the latest drivers for it. Unless you want a really specific driver, that's your best bet. https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/geforce-experience/

    How long are you keeping the power on to see if it works? Once you change memory settings, the BIOS needs to reconfigure itself
