"WHAT YEAR IS IT" Yeah, I probably should have waited to post it tomorrow... Oh well. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Glad you seem to mostly like it so far!

Waitin' on the WAN show to play. https://teuast.bandcamp.com/track/waitin-on-the-wan-show-to-play Just a song I made, it's a parody of "Waitin' On The World To Change." Thought you guys might enjoy it.

Tedster: Had tried it previously and it hadn't worked. Tried it again and it did. I don't understand anything right now, but as long as it keeps working I'm okay with it. Speedbird: Did. Google pinged, Facebook didn't. Prastupok: It seems to be working now, so... I guess I don't need to do that? I would have if the other stuff hadn't worked. Thanks anyway!

Hello all. So after a great deal of difficulty installing Windows yesterday, I finally got it to work and excitedly opened a browser, only to discover that my Internet wasn't working, despite being plugged into LAN. Eventually I determined that this was because apparently my motherboard's built-in LAN requires a driver to run. Who'd've thought. Anyway, I downloaded that on my laptop, installed it via USB, and happily logged on. A few hours later I started to notice that some webpages would load really slowly, some even into their basic HTML forms, and eventually most sites just wouldn't work at all. Gmail, Wikipedia, and Steam, of all things, all work fine. However, I can't access Facebook, Google support, Mozilla, Microsoft, or reddit, along with probably most other sites, because I just get "This webpage is not available," accompanied by the error message in the title. I have: * Restarted the DNS client: didn't affect anything * Disabled the DNS client outright: I got the error instantly instead of several seconds later * Run netsh winsock reset catalog as admin, as suggested by Googling: no effect * Disabled IPv6 in LAN properties, which was also suggested by Googling: no effect * Tried using IE: still couldn't connect (that's why I was on Microsoft.com) This is a new install of Windows 7. I have no wireless adapter, just the mobo's onboard LAN, but said LAN worked perfectly for a week when I was using Ubuntu before I switched, and also for a couple of hours so I'm pretty sure I have . My build consists of a 4790K, ASRock Fatal1ty Z97 Killer (non-3.1) mobo, 16GB RAM, some storage, some graphics, some power, and a case. Currently posting from my laptop. Help? Thanks!

Awesome, it worked! I'm now online and running Windows Update!

OK, downloading the second one. Hoping it works, will report back. Thanks!

Hello all. I just built and I'm having trouble getting Win7 to recognize my onboard LAN. It's plugged in and connected, I even used it on the very computer I'm currently struggling with it on over the last week when I had Ubuntu installed on it instead, so I know the issue is within Windows and not with my cable or connection, and probably a driver issue specifically, judging by the Googling I've been doing and diagnostics the computer has been telling me. I don't have a wireless adapter either, so I'm posting this from my laptop while the new PC looks at me with this smug little smirk on its face. It says that no connections are available in the Network center. When I troubleshoot it, it tells me to install a driver for my network adapter, then "Problems found: Windows could not find a driver for your network adapter," then "Detected" and a yellow alert sign. When I went to Device Manager to look for Network Adapters, there weren't any network adapters, but I did find an ethernet controller. For properties on this, General tells me again that the drivers are not installed, and Details shows me a bunch of stuff that I don't know how to interpret, most significant of which I assume is that the Physical Device Object Name is \Device\NTPNP_PCI0015. The device is not using any resources because, quote, "it has a problem." I'm using an i7 4790K and an ASRock Fatal1ty Z97 Killer. Any ideas on how I can get it to connect to the Internet?

1. I'm mounting it manually because for some reason it's not being recognized automatically. I'm sure it's ext3 because I ran blkid on it and that's what it returned. I fiddled with it a bit more, though, and now I have it back to where it was before, with the restricted permissions. It says it's owned by root and under the root group. I think if I can change the owner on that I can get it working the way I want it to. Edit: For clarification, I still don't know how to do that. 2. OK, here it is. I have looked at that, but it was probably at about 5:00 this morning when I had already been working on the project for close to ten hours. I'll check it out again. Thanks!

Hey all! I just finished building my first PC the other day, and my Hackintosh install refused to work and Windows costs money, so I went with Ubuntu 14.04.2. First of all: HOLY CRAP, THE LEARNING CURVE. I had to Google how to do basically everything. Second of all: OH MY GOD THE SPEED. Jumping from a mid-2007 Core 2 Duo T6600 iMac to a 4790K with an SSD, THIS IS INSANE. I'm getting the hang of it, and I'm learning to love the command line in a way I never did before, but I still feel like a kid who's just gotten his driver's license being plopped behind the wheel of a McLaren F1. So first of all: I'm having a lot of difficulty with my hard drive. It scans as /dev/sda (my boot drive is /dev/sdb, don't ask), it responds when I ping it or whatever, and I figured out how to mount it to a directory, but I ran into the issue that I didn't have permissions to write to it, and in attempting to fix it I think I screwed something up. I format the disk and get the following error message: "Error synchronizing after initial wipe: Timed out waiting for object (udisks-error-quark, 0)," and when I try to access it, I get : Anybody have any idea how to solve this and set the drive up so I can use it as my main onboard storage? Second issue: Steam? When I try to run it, it says "You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run: libc.so.6"; when I click okay, a Terminal window pops up saying "Steam needs to install these additional packages: libgl1-mesa-dri:i386, libgl1-mesa-glx:i386, libc6:i386"; and when I type in my sudo password to install them, a bunch of other nonsense happens and it doesn't work. I can copy and paste it if you like, but it's a lot. Anybody know how to fix this? Thanks!

>sees expected numbers Oh nooooooo..... Anyway, username: teuast Vids: https://www.vessel.com/videos/JemZ8O7Hyand https://www.vessel.com/videos/G-DUjgUyY

OK, thanks!

Do you think it'd be enough of a benefit to warrant spending the extra hundred bucks on it? Sort of a pro-hobby? Like I do jobs for people, but not as my actual main job.

Gaming, music production, and video production. Currently I only do video production occasionally, but that'll probably change once I'm on a good computer.

So I was on PCPartPicker earlier and looking at the X99 CPU options. I knew about the i7s that are out for X99, but I didn't know about all the Xeons on it. What caught my eye the most was the Xeon E5 1620 V3, which is a full $100 cheaper than the 5820K. I've seen Linus's video about i7 vs. Xeon and how "they are different, but only if they are different," and it definitely looks like they'd work pretty similarly. I just want to get your opinions on this, whether getting the Xeon would be a good way to save money or I'd just be shooting myself in the foot, or just in general what the difference is between them. As you can probably tell, I don't know much about CPUs. Thanks!

Man, I don't know if you're able to see my Steam account, but I just bought a bunch of new games and my current computer is not gonna be able to play them all. I need a computer that can do this shit properly and I can't afford one. Favorite thing about it: The GPU, CPU, and speakers. I need that laptop, man!
