Are you allowed to open 1 present on Christmas Eve? I am not allowed to open anything until Christmas Day. I’ve heard of a lot of people that open 1 the day before, so do you?

Guys i need help i was playing games and then my pc crashed and my gpu is making a beeping noise can anybody help everything is in except gpu its making a noise

As yesterday was my Birthday. I most likely got some extra cash to spend on something from the gifts I got. I was looking at new motherboards. I know that AMD has stated that *Some* X570 Motherboards will work with Ryzen Gen 1. However, I was wondering if anyone has had any bad luck (or good) with the Motherboards that are reported to work with the older CPUs. Seeing as though my Tomahawk Arctic B350 board is actually the worst motherboard I have ever owned. I was thinking of upgrading to X570 from B350. Might not go with MSI this time around unless people have good stuff to say about this round of chipsets from them. I love MSI don't get my wrong. Just rubbed me the wrong way this time around. So the problems I have with the B350 Motherboard I have now is: DIMM Slots A1 and B1 are dead, no physical damage that I can see. So wasn't me. RAM WILL NOT go any higher than 2133 even in the working ports. Manually input or XMP does not matter. Not even up to 2134mhz. My ram speed is rated for 3200mhz and is a CAS 16 Kit of 32GB G,Skill Royal so I know its not the RAM My dad is using my old sticks with no issue. The B350 board is also overvolting my CPU by more than it should. I can even set parameters in the BIOS and it still does it. Power delivery on that board is nowhere near robust enough to push it that hard. Also the reason for the "Path(s)" in the title is my wife's X370 Pro Carbon is also having the RAM issue and will not clock faster than 2133 by even 1mh. She is running a 1700x that I built her after our wedding. Her Hard-drive/SSDs will occasionally disappear from her BIOS menu. Not just one either. It will be all of them. Have to plug them back in, but in different SATA slots for them to be recognized again. So it isn't any of the drives. Originally I thought it was something to do with her graphics card because of the hard crashing to desktop or all together crashing the whole PC. I sent a ticket to MSI, have yet to hear from them after the first reply of basically: do all of the trouble shooting I already did to it again. for a second time. However, came to find it was the motherboard the whole time. Still no response, didn't even tell them I figured it out. Since I don't think anyone would of even looked at it anyway. So if any of you have good or bad experiences with Gen1 Ryzen on X570 boards please let me know & with what boards were you using. I do plan on upgrading to 3600XT/3950x of whatever 4000 or higher series brings to the mix but need to save up more. Figured the Motherboard would be the best first step. Seeing as though this Motherboard is mostly dead already don't want to keep my perfectly fine 1600x in there to have it potentially get damaged. I have done BIOS updates on both systems in recommended order. Thanks in advanced!

This is a revision of a previous blog I posted on my website with better examples and hopefully more depth into the world of binary for IP addresses and Subnetting. I will not explain how to subnet in this article but will explain why you might need to know how to convert binary to decimal (vice versa) and why it is useful. Let's dive straight into the deep end. Binary Binary can be represented as either 1 or 0 (On or Off). We will be using the 'on/off' terms to make it easier to understand how to get the decimal value from our binary expression. An IPv4 Address is constructed from 32 individual binary bits which are split in 8 bit 'sections' also know as octets. (1 octet actually equals 1 byte!) Here is an example: 192.168.0.1 Now you might feel like this isn't so daunting, an address that we are all familiar that is most probably the most commonly assigned IP address to a home router or the first device in our home network. Well, we can explore this IP address in the binary world. The conversion for this IP address is 11000000.10101000.00000000.00000001. You will explore a method used to get this result although right now, we will focus on the structure of this binary format. A little fact is that an IPv6 address is actually created from 128 bits but normally represented in Heaxdecimal format (0-9, A-F = total of 16 values - 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F) Structure Representing the above binary result in our '8 bit' or '4 octet'. 8bits.8bits.8bits.8bits (32 bits in total) octet.octet.octet.octet When beginning to learn the conversion, starters will want to proceed to memorize a table and even have a similar table available on screen or a piece of paper to help with the process. Our process to convert our IP address to binary (and vice versa) will start by using this table on each octet (each 8 bits) and then follow with the second, third and finally fourth. In our 8 bits, the bit on our right is our 'least significant bit' and on the right our 'most significant bit'. Don't get caught up too much with the maths expression until we dive deeper into the more subnetting section which will come in a later article. A binary representation of 255 is: 11111111 (We have to add all the decimal values for each bit that is 'on' (1) which adds to 255) If we were to work out 11111110 in decimal value (We would follow the rule to only to add the decimal values of the corresponding binary value that is 'on' or equal to 1) So in the table above, we will only add the binary values equal to 'on' (1) which will result of the decimal number of 254. It would make sense now to try and work out our first octet of 192.168.0.1 As the same concept applies, adding our binary values that are only equal to 'on' (1) will result in a decimal number of 192. (128+64 = 192) 128 + 32 + 8 = 168 00000000 in Binary is 0 in decimal.... Remember that we only add our values when the corresponding binary value is 'on' (equal to 1) 192.168.0.1 So, if we use our 4 tables above that were used to convert our decimal to binary, we will find that this 192.168.0.1 address represented in Binary is: 11000000.10101000.00000000.00000001 Ok that is cool I guess? Although I guess we don't really need to know this since the whole point of the hardware is to automatically do this, and IP addresses are a more friendly way for us humans to use... You are certainly correct, to a degree. A single IP address on its own doesn't really mean much to Network Engineers and such. This is where a subnet mask comes in. Subnet Mask Do you really need to read on? You have already figured out how to convert Decimal to Binary (and vice versa if you just apply it in reverse) but this the part where I explain why learning this can be important in specific job roles and such. Now a subnet mask is not to be confused with 'Subnets' or 'Masking an IP address' or even a robber mask. To simplify a subnet mask, it is an address used to describe the following information about a single IP address: Which part of the IP address is the Network ID Which part of the IP address is used for the Host ID (assigning IP's to devices) If you want to carry on into depth with subnetting,subnet masks and using Binary/Decimal conversions into a bit more depth then feel free to suggest and comment if you would like me to create an article. I plan to create one but not soon! Practising and Questions Using your own table or a similar table as shown in the above demonstrations, work out the following: Convert the following from Decimal to Binary: 192.168.10.210 172.16.34.255 10.32.47.100 192.168.43.77 Convert the following from Binary to Decimal: 11000000.10101000.01000001.00010101 00001010.00100001.00010001.10000011 10110001.11001010.11110000.00101111 How many bits in an Octet? What information does a Subnet masks provide?? How many total bits are in an IPv4 Address? How many total bits are in an IPv6 Address? Convert these binary values and describe where you would commonly find the decimal representation (10000000, 11000000, 11100000, 11110000, 11111000, 11111100, 11111110, 11111111)

I was wondering if there was a way to use one internal hard drive with two different computers. Like, if there was a sata data splitter where one drive would go to two different motherboards, or if there is any other way.

Okay, so im trying to install CS:Source textures onto Steam. I needed to go into steam, then steamapps and so on. But when I went into steamapps, there was only one folder and a VDF file??? I know there are meant to be folders such as common and so on, yet they arnt in mine??? Anyone know how to fix this??

I saw after an Origin update that you can pre-load Battlefield 1, what exactly is meant by that? Does it mean that you can download the game and all its files on October 14th but they don't unlock or become playable until October 21st, if so whats the point of pre-loading?

After Linus did the 1 petabyte storage setup, I thought He should do a 1 terabyte project for ram. Share your thoughts!

Hi! I have some performance issue with battlefield 1 after the latest update. I got lower fps like from the 90-s to the 60-s. The game is set to max settings, CPU usage is 100%, GPU usage is around 80%, but not stabel. Sometimes i get drops to around 40 fps. The other thing that i noticed is something reads the hard drive constantly. Maybe this puts more work to the cpu, and i lose performance. I get 7.8 GB memory usage, and after some time it drops to 6.4 GB. No programs running in the background, i always check. If i wanna see what is reading the HDD it just says bf1 or system threads. Is this because i dont have enough ram? i5-6600 3.6 GHz 8 GB DDR3 1866 MHz Gigabyte GTX 1060 6 GB

I plan to buy two 2TB drives- one for mass storage and the other as a backup of mass storage. I need them to be mirrored, and I understand this is what RAID 1 is for. What's the best way of doing this? Do I connect them via USB and use them in RAID 1? Or do I just periodically back one up to the other (and keep it offsite in case my entire room is compromised). Or do I invest in a RAID enclosure and simply invest in cheaper 2.5" drives? What's some software you use to 'clone' your drives? Are there programs that can do so incrementally so it gets done faster? Edit: I'm using a laptop. I look foward to your recommendations.

So, I have exactly $1.33 USD left on a Visa card and I want to use it all up. Exactly $1.33. So the challenge is, find an item or list of items that total $1.33 USD. I know it's stupid anyway I'd like it to be useful stuff I'd actually want but it can be really dumb if you want too cuz this whole idea is dumb XD. Anyway, happy searching

This is simple.. On a scale of 1-10 how dusty do you think your computer is? 1 is like brand new 10 is loaves of dust on your fins just leave the numbers. I wanna see them mines a 4

Greetings guys, i was just looking to get your opinion on the new xperia 1, I'm still using the ultra XA one, trynna upgrade and cant afford buying the wrong phone at moment. My needs are kinda just basic, taking high quality wide pics, social media apps, no games, a fair amount of music gallery and finally few pdf books for daily readings.

Hey everyone :) Yesterday I bought G.Skill Trident RAM with RGB, DDR4, 16 GB, 4400MHz, CL18. The problem is my PC is crashing after I want to apply XMP I or II. Even manually I only managed to do 4100MHz 1.55V 18/19/39.I updated my BIOS, tried everything and I do not have any more ideas what to do. My pc set up:Asus Rog Maximus XI Hero Z270Intel Core i7-8700kPower Supply: Seasonic 850W Any ideas or clues would be much appreciated. Thanks for any help in this matter!

HELP!!! THE CPU COOLER DOSNT SEEM to screw down evenly am I missing somthing?

title says everything.

Hey everyone. First post to these forums, and hopefully it's not too dumb. I'm trying to upgrade the storage in an Acer Swift 1 (sf114-32-p2pk). I bought a 128gb m.2 nvme ssd and well I guess I got the wrong one, because it's not showing up in disk management. I've never used any m.2 storage before and didn't know there were different kinds. I'm guessing I need a "M" keyed drive according to this article, my drive does fit, it just doesn't have a pin for pin match. https://www.atpinc.com/blog/what-is-m.2-M-B-BM-key-socket-3 The bios is very limited on this thing, so not much I can do there. I have to get it something it will be happy with by default. Thanks in advanced to anyone who can help my dumba** ?

does anyone know how to get the pixel 2 active wallpaper on the pixel one and does it hurt the phone at all

I currently have an Intel Core i7-4790K which has PCIe 3.0 x16, which I assume will be used for my GTX 1080 ti. My mobo H97M Pro4 offers 1 PCIe 3.0 x16, 1 PCIe 2.0 x16, 2 PCI. I currently have 4 SSD's and would like to add 2 HDD's in raid 0 (with a raid controller card). I read an article that states hardware attached to the mobo via the weird pin thingies on the side and not the SATA III interface will use the PCIe lanes from the CPU and not the mobo, will my cpu be able to sustain both my 1080 ti and 2x2tb in raid 0? What if I wanted to upgrade to 4x2tb in raid 10 in the future?

so i have a HP Pavilion X360 2 in 1 (this is my sisters laptop she asked me to post here) and i recently got a lenovo active pen 1 currently i cant find a way to connect the pen to the pen to the laptop if you know a way to connect it please help me thank you in advanced
