Remember windows does kernel updates too, anything that may not be within spec or causes instability by the slightest can and will be rejected by windows in the form of a FU. Windows is picky like that

Ah that could be it! I did recently update my Windows installation ISO that i have on a multi boot USB, so that explanation would make sense.

*scratches head* understood, to be blunt though just because it posts perfectly and works perfectly in linux does not mean it's stable. On another note it could be a weak or dying memory controller, could be a weak or dying chipset, my guess is you have already updated the bios to the latest revision on this motherboard?

argh sorry for wasting your time, a BIOS update fixed it - I don't understand how cos with the exact same setup Windows used to work fine on the old BIOS revision, but I guess I'll not question it. Thank you!

Memtest may not show errors but ram compatibility can still be an issue, even if the timings and clock speeds are the EXACT same, had this issue on a dell server I was working on at work.

 

Just so I understand correctly does the system post normally when the ram sticks are put in individually? (only the hyperx fury ram, only the samsung ram)

The system posts normally regardless, and Linux works perfectly fine. Any combination of RAM whether it's 1x8GB stick or whatever and Windows still refuses to boot. I've had Windows work fine with the full 16GB for ages before, this issue has just come up recently.

Hi all,

I have Windows on a secondary drive that I keep around for gaming purposes etc., but as of late I've struggled to boot into it even if I totally wipe the drive and then reinstall Windows. The BSOD error is "Page fault in non paged area" which would suggest a RAM issue, however running memtest for around an hour shows absolutely no errors and Linux on my main drive works perfectly. I've tried installing it to a different drive, and no different. I can't even boot into Windows at all, as soon as it gets past the initial loading it displays the BSOD. It doesn't seem to be dumping a BSOD in C:/Windows/Minidump either - there is a file there but it's empty (literally 0B). I'm kind of stuck as to what to do now - the installation process works perfectly so if it were a faulty installation media, I would have thought this step would fail? I've also swapped around my RAM sticks - I have a 8GB stick and 2x4GB sticks, and I've tried them all in every combination and nothing.

Specs if needed:

Xeon E3-1231 V3

PowerColor R9 390

MSI Z97 PC Mate

16GB DDR3 RAM (1x8GB HyperX Fury, 2x4GB Samsung)

EVGA Supernova 750W 

I'm curious as to how good my setup is, just out of pure curiosity

I bought some Grado SR80Es yesterday, and have been running them off my Marantz PM6006 amplifier, with the digital source being my Fiio E10k, using its digital coax output. 

I use foobar2000 for uncompressed files, using CDs ripped using EAC, and Spotify Premium running at the 320kbps setting

Edit - even stupid sounding methods like having the 4 pin header go to a weird fan controller doodad are accepted

Hi all,

I recently swapped out the fans of my XFX R9 380 as the old ones just didnt spin at all, so i got some new ones, installed them and they span!...... very fast.

Even if i put the fan at manual mode at 0RPM in the Radeon software, the lowest i've seen it is 1940RPMish, and this is because i have just realised that the GPU fans are 3 pin, even though the header is a 4 pin.

So, is there a way of controlling the voltage going to the 3 pin fans on my new GPU fans?

thank you

If anyone like garage rock, listen to this album, it's fantastic

Actually, roms really aren't illegal, but let the FBI figure that out...

They're illegal if you don't own the original games, and if you do have the game but download the ROM for it then it's sort of a grey area. Making the ROM yourself in most places is perfectly fine.

My friend used a lot of high-end HP products, says it's rather good.

That Quadro isn't amazing for gaming if you're looking to play demanding modern games at high settings https://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-Quadro-M620-GPU-Benchmarks-and-Specs.213796.0.html

my main PC is just called my main PC or desk PC, and my TV PC is called the TV PC

I'm not overly into naming things

You heard the new Jon Hopkins album? The first half is fantastic, second half falls off slightly but it's still a pretty good album

My budget is about 700 dollars for now. Maybe more if I am allowed to give more of my money. My parrents are giving about 550 dollars from them. Everything after has to be from me.

I'd ask over at the New Builds and Planning section, remember to look at the sticky post before posting

Thanks, It is the end of shcool year in my country and I am 7th grade. I just completed my exams and my mom told me I can buy something expensive and they will help me with the price, so I am just wondering what should I buy... If anyone has recomendations?

I'm personally quite behind on hardware at the moment, so I'm not the person to ask I'm afraid! What's your budget?

I personally think that PC gaming is massively better than console gaming not because "wow the graphics look marginally better" (dont kill me i just dont give a shit about graphics), but beacuse of framerates, customisability, the fact it's a normal PC and has all of that functionality and backwards compatability, so I think it's worth the extra time saving money. 

Oh and emulators if you're into that, they're cool.

People actually try and categorize grip types? Like seriously? Seems silly to me. 

I think it's stupid mostly, but some mice are made specifically for certain grips iirc

I have never seen blog developed with XML. I want to try it. The main reason could be portability.

It would sure be a fun test and I encourage you to try it if you desire, but my concerns would be security and a lack of an API (afaik) without you having to create it yourself

4 minutes ago, Rakanoth said:

Sure. Relational Databases are standard but could you please elaborate on the point that it would be confusing and inefficient?

With a standard blog, you'd just simply search the item in the database and get all the information like that. With XML you could have a similar thing, but it would be more difficult to add to and remove stuff from because I doubt there'd be as good of an API. Why do you want to use XML?

I think the standard is using a MySQL database, having different XML files for it all would be confusing and inefficient if you got it working

I really need to get back into anime - I only realised that after I fully rewatched K-On! a few weeks back.

Have there been any standout shows from the past year or so?

EDIT: Are you guys still doing the weekly anime thing? I might join you for that from now on.

This is what's happening
