Hi! I've been having an issue for a while now: when I power my PC down, the clock on it stops. Meaning that when I turn it back on, it keeps the time that I turned it off at, instead of showing the current time. It's annoying, because even if I have it set to change automatically, it doesn't and I have to turn the auto setting for the clock off then on again for the right time to appear. I was wondering if any of you knew what was the problem and how to fix it?

Can someone help me find a way to change my date and time. I went into my system settings to change my new computers date and time zone. When I went to change it, it says that I need to contact my computers administrator. But I am an administrator on this computer. Also, I went into my local security policy and went to see who can change the date and time, and it says Users and Administrators. But I still can't change anything.

So, I have installed an LSI MegaRAID 9260-8i RAID Controller in a PC for a new build, and am experiencing extremely long boot times. Sometimes up to 15 minutes. I know this has to do with the RAID Card, If I remove it, Instant 3-4 second boot time. The RAID Controller is running 6x 10TB Seagate Barracuda PRO Drives Running in RAID 5. Does anybody know any way of decreasing the boot time, as it's getting really annoying, and I don't think our customer is going to be very happy with it. I have read somewhere about Flashing a non MPT BIOS onto the Card, but not sure if that is an option on this model. TIA

I wanna start a small discussion about the right time to but a laptop. I'm looking for a new one soon, and I tend to experience a lot of buyer's remorse. More specifically, I bought a Haswell, DDR3, 970M gaming laptop right when the market was transitioning to DDR4, Skylake, and Pascal. I wanna try to avoid that this time around, and get a really modern system that can last me for several years. So, with Coffee Lake H and Kaby Lake G becoming more mainstream, I'd like y'alls opinions on the "best time" to purchase a new system.

Is it possible to set the BIOS date and time by flashing the ROM? As I understand it, flashing the CMOS resets the hardware clock to some specific date and time such as 1.1.1970 or doesn't touch it at all leaving in the time it was at but whichever the case is, it can't set the date and time right. It'd need more than just flashing the ROM. But am I wrong? For context, my employer could have the supplier flash in a custom BIOS for us with our specific settings entered by default. This is a huge deal for us because we're talking of hundreds of machines that we wouldn't have to configure ourselves at all saving a lot of time for hundreds of times over years to come. But one of the things we need is for the hardware clock to be within +/- 5 minutes from UTC. Flashing the BIOS is included in the price of the unit but other setup work isn't so if they need to do extra steps to set the time it'd affect the price leaving us potentially better off just doing it ourselves as a first-boot process. Then again, we'd have to program, test, validate, have approved and implement such a process wasting time once. So if I ask them to set the time to UTC, will I get fired?

I read and hear many times that you should re-apply thermal paste often, every year and ridiculus stuffl ike that. But I agree that after several years it may be necessary. I decided to leave HWMonitor on while playing AC Origins for 45 minutes, at 1440p Ultra settings. I used Artic Silver 5 pee method on end summer 2013. I have now a 4.4GHz overclock at 1.239V manual set in bios. This are the temps. Still pretty decent for gaming, no? I don't remember my original temps, I started with stock, then 4.2Ghz..used adaptive voltage, not I found out that adaptive voltage not only pointlrss but worse then manual.

A bit of an introduction to the case Roughly 2 years ago Danish police charged two men for assisting piracy by sharing information on how to install and operate the torrent-based streaming service Popcorn Time via a dedicated website (which has been offline since 2015). https://www.theverge.com/2015/8/20/9181243/popcorn-time-how-to-sites-arrested https://gizmodo.com/you-can-get-arrested-in-denmark-just-for-spreading-info-1725141324 Today there was a ruling in the case in the municipal court in Odense. The ruling: One of the men behind the website was sentenced to 6 months probation (with 120 hours of community service) and has to pay a fine of 506,003 DKR (about 83,400 USD). - Dorte Køhler Frandsen, state lawyer with the State Prosecutor for Serious Economic and International Crime. (My translation) Simply put, there's now a precedent within the EU that allows for people to get jail sentences for simply sharing information about illegal streaming sites (and possibly other illegal sources of content). Note, this is not actually downloading anything illegal, mearly talking about and demonstrating an illegal service. The fine was given due to the ad revenue it was estimated that the website had brought in. I guess the only major modifier in regards to just sharing information about the illegal pirate services, is that the website also instructed the users on how to avoid getting caught Unfortunalty, I could not find any information as to whether or not this had any impact on the court's decision. Sources (in Danish, unfortunatly) http://anklagemyndigheden.dk/da/forste-gang-i-europa-39-arig-domt-udbrede-ulovlig-filmtjeneste https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/indland/foerste-sag-i-europa-dansk-mand-doemt-spredning-af-ulovlig-filmtjeneste Personal thoughts: While the content of the website was quite clearly against the Danish penal code, I do think this case could set a dangerous precedent. This case might have been pretty clear cut, but I fear that it could become applicable to cases that fall into a legal grey area. What about torrenting programs like qBittorrent or Vuze? Are those illegal pirating services? While torrents can absolutly be used (and are used) for completely legal purposes, there's also a not insignificant amount of illegal traffic going about through torrenting. Does that mean that installing BitTorrent on your friend's PC is illegal? Is Ninite responsible for assisting in piracy? Edit: The intitial arrest was also discussed on the forum here:

Sup guys, I am planning to build my own gaming pc with some media related like OBS, Photshop and Lightroom. I am not familiar with the magic numbers and letters on pc parts so I spend time on researching, what they're for, which is the best, etc. And I came up with this build. Im not an overclocker guy and I just play some not that powerful games like dota2, pubg, cs:go, etc. Im not planning to play some AAA titles games like Gta V, battlefield, tomb raider, etc (remove the gamer in me if you want). I just want to play games at their highest resolution with ease and comfort. And Im trying to budget some parts here so I didnt go for what is the latest. I picked parts that will do the work but still gives a good performance. And I need help if these parts will fit on my chosen case because its a compact thingy so I need to double check those sizes and spacing. Feel free to say or comment anything. I need some opinions here.

I got a QNAP TS-531X a few days ago. It's running 5 x 8 TB Seagate IronWolf in RAID5. While I do actually quite like the system, one thing is really bugging me... It takes about 8 minutes to fully boot up. I know that not running it 24/7 but turning it off and on all the time isn't to good for the HDDs but there's nothing I can do about that atm as I have to keep it in a room with my bed for the time being. Now everytime I have to access some data quickly and it's off I have to wait the 8 minutes until I can access it. Is it something common with QNAP NASes that they take ages to boot up? I actually wanted to build a NAS myself with custom components but wasn't able to find a case that's small enough to fit in my shelf… Is there some case that has about the dimensions of my QNAP NAS (7.28 (H) x 8.29 (W) x 9.27 (D) inch) or if not, do Synology NASes boot faster? Thanks in advance for any answers

Hello, I have an ASUS Z170-A motherboard, every time I turn my computer on the ASUS logo bios screen takes around 10-15 seconds. If I look inside my case I can see red LEDs turning on and off, there is one for CPU, GPU, RAM and so on. Is there any way to speed this up or to skip this process entirely?

Hello I think I have an issue with response time on my monitor. There are 3 modes to choose from: standard, faster and fastest. standard = very blurry image fastest = not blurry but there is a weird shadow thing that appears in motion (especially seeable in games) faster = something between these 2 My monitor is Samsung C24F396FH. Anyone had same issue and knows anything about it??

Hi all. So, I have this weird problem: usually, my PC boot time used to be - from power to desktop - 5 to 10 seconds long at maximum, thanks to my Samsung EVO SSD. In the past 2 months, I experienced some occasional long boot time (at least 10 minutes, but everytime below 15), that become more and more frequently. I was running Win 10 Pro 1703, latest updates, with Bitdefender Free. I noticed, after switching to avast! Free Antivirus, that these long boots became the rule: now they show everytime I power on my PC. In detail, the sequence is this: I start the PC, MSI Logo don't show up (FastBoot enabled), than the computer stucks on Win10 logo, with the loading animation perfectly spinning all the time without any hiccups. I notice that my USB devices (mouse, keyboard, XONE controller) are without power during this time. After 10 minutes or more, I hear my hard disks spinning, the HDD LED on, and power returns on USB devices. PC goes to desktop in less than 5 seconds, and it's working as usual. Basically, a boot phase that used to last 1 or 2 seconds (USB devices powered off and then turned on), now lasts too long, but after that PC works perfectly fine. I already tried to power on my PC without any peripheral attached, but the problem showed up the same. TL;DR: extremely long Win10 logo boot screen, USB devices are powered off during this process that lasts at least 10 minutes, than they light up, HDDs start spinning and PC goes to desktop as usual. My rig below.

I built this PC about a year ago: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/parkerahelms/saved/3hTbt6 I have now come across a weird issue with my motherboard where after the system is powered on for 10 minutes, the CMOS time will reset. What I have tried: -Looking up other forum posts talking about a similar issue -set the time 3 times, issue still exists I could reset or update my bios, but I want to do that as a last step (Besides swapping the PSU or motherboard) because I had a hard time getting the M.2 Drive bootable and I don't want to mess up my windows installation. Any help or tips is appreciated!

Hello for 2 months now my computer has had 100% Disk Usage almost all the time along with startups that take 20 minutes to an hour before it is able to open up the windows menu. I have googled this issue and I must have spent 12 hours trying to solve this problem. I have a Toshiba Satellite C55-C and I have had it for 2 years. I have used it for content creation like 3D rendering and game design (I know that it has integrated graphics and a pretty bad CPU but 12 year old me didn't know what that meant at the time) and school. I have tried disabling things like Superfetch, BITS, and Windows Search. I updated my drivers and I even did a factory reset and nothing worked. I am 14 and school takes up a lot of time so right now I can't afford to buy another computer. If you guys have any solutions please let me know. Thank you very much!

So, I bought a Kingston SSD Now V300 two or so years ago. Now, two years later the read speed is about 200MBps at less than full capacity. About 170GB usage of 240GB. This is about half what it was when new. It's still faster than a Hard drive, but I feel the need for something much faster for big games like GTAV and Shadow of Mordor. So I've been looking for a secondary SSD, but I can't seem to find read and writes speeds for drives at 90% capacity, or over time, and that's what I really need to make a purchasing decision. Where can I find such information? What SSD has the least performance degradation over time?
