FYI: agree with your statement Pez, not the actions being proposed in the link.

Do you mean the Motherboard? Just checking As for the rest, it doesn't need a GPU (the mobo has output from the CPU's graphics), but the repair guy suspects the PSU as the culprit. We'll see how it turns out. I'm hoping that's it, as that's swappable easily.

PSU = Power Supply Unit MLB = ? And honestly, I don't have the time to tinker, nor the components to "swap out" to see if one of them fixes it. I have no way of correctly diagnosing a bum power supply for instance. I'm taking it to a small local shop that does this kind of thing and I've...

My main computer died in the middle of playing No Man's Sky. Like it just went down. No explanation. I unplugged it, and it's not the cable or something simple like that. It won't even POST. Spoiler of specs (from late 2012) : There's a little light in the bottom-right of the mobo which...

They have a nice concise label for what you just did there blots: Ad hominem. I like how your post fits in really nicely with the description on the pyramid on the right-hand-side of the page there (at least on desktop version I mean).

I have a 3470 at home, and thinking of upgrading next year sometime (after the new nVidia generation has sane prices) but until Meltdown is COMPLETELY fixed without performance degradation, not interested in an Intel chip with the "supposedly fixed" problems. That whole fiasco is making me...

When they say "teraport" think "teleport, in, out, yourself, whatever" in this context: Take over your opponent's ship via transporting in overrides to EVERYTHING. Why blow it up? Turn it to your side. Oh and turn off life support and/or vent to space IMMEDIATELY as well so they can't take...

This post had me pleasantly surprised to find out that Henry Winkler isn't dead yet! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Winkler

This goes to criminal incompetence (not negligence, since they DID meet about it) soon: Investigators: Big Cracks, But No Cause Yet for Florida Bridge Collapse The quote from the professor of structural engineering is the most interesting IMO: Yikes. They had f'n meetings about it. Whomever...

Do NOT start thinking about kinks you haven't considered, and especially don't start searching for them on the Internet. The Internet's content will destroy you. Wisdom in this case is knowing NOT to look.

Agreed, since they have local monopolies, they misbehave. When there's healthy competition, there is less need, though not necessarily zero. But casting it in a "Net Neutrality" banner is not good IMO. It "strongarms" people to your point of view, similarly to how some frame everything they...

I actually agree with Verizon that this has nothing to do with Net Neutrality. They throttled them to EVERYWHERE based upon data limits and ability to pay. It's still horrific, especially to emergency services, but I do not see it as a Net Neutrality issue. Where it WOULD be an issue is if...

If the ceiling of the garage is high enough, and the car is a "car" not an "SUV" then throw a blanket on the roof, and flip the table so that the top glass surface is on the blanket. If you have the clearance, the table will be on top of the car, but you don't have to worry about the legs (or...

Replace "chainsaw" with "spade"

I wonder if we'll ever really know who's responsible, if anyone: Muddies the waters very effectively.

I mis-interpreted this, as my company has clients in the city of Phoenix that can be "difficult" at times. It's where my mind goes first.

FTFY

If you ever get the opportunity to see Dark City, mute it until the guy wakes up in the bathtub (that's the first scene that's not beauty shots of the city). All that you miss is some atmospheric music, and a voiceover that the studio mandated that spoils the entire fucking plot. Don't worry...

You have nothing to worry about with endurance: https://techreport.com/review/27909/the-ssd-endurance-experiment-theyre-all-dead Unless it's continual thrashing (not you), the wear-out thing for a typical person is basically a hard-drive company scare-tactic (FUD).
