    Windows 11 on Lenovo M93p Tiny

    Just FYI, I have a Lenovo M93p Tiny with Intel Core i5-4570T, 8GB of RAM. I needed to upgrade to Windows 11 but due to recent memory shortage, I decided to keep my PC running longer. I installed Windows 11 using USB created with Rufus. It has been running smoothly for a month now. Spec for...

    USB HDD keep disappearing

    Ran into similar problem with a different desktop PC. USB 3.0 HDD enclosure keeps giving errors and disconnecting when plugged to USB 3.0 port on the back. When I move to it to the front, it worked. I am not sure if the front port is 3.0 or 2.0.

    $100 Nvidia CUDA card for A.I. ?

    A.I. experience is vastly different from gaming though. I would imagine an fps drop of 30 to 10 would be very noticeable. But all I want is cutting a wait time of 20+ hours to something manageable. AFAIK, there is virtual no hardware acceleration with my Intel IGP.

    $100 Nvidia CUDA card for A.I. ?

    I don't know much about AI at all. I would say a little bit of training and more on inference. Prior to posting this thread, I did some research and think that RTX 2070 is an entry level choice. For some reasons, used ones seems to be cheaper than used 2060 or around the same price. My plan is...

    $100 Nvidia CUDA card for A.I. ?

    I am not a gamer. I have a decent Core-i7 desktop with 16GB RAM and PCIe-x16 slot. I want to play with A.I. but met the hard truth that my Intel UHD IGP desktop is just not up to the task. I mean calling it slow is an vastly understatement. Are there CUDA compatible video card that I can buy...

    USB HDD keep disappearing

    Thanks for all the replies. I don't have a powered USB hub. I got myself a USB power tester and tried to hook it up in between the USB drive and mini desktop. But for some reasons, I can no longer reproduce the problem. Everything seems to be working fine. Current draw is always below 0.4A. I...

    USB HDD keep disappearing

    I have a 1TB WD USB HDD that I use for backups. https://www.newegg.com/model-wdbpck0010bbk-nesn-1tb/p/N82E16822136996 Recently, I switched my main PC to a Lenovo M93p Tiny. But I noticed that my WD external HDD does not work properly with it. The M93p has 6 USB 3.0 ports. The WD is also USB...

    I am using 4GBx2 DDR3 memory. It was too long ago but I think most DDR3 for desktop should work. Not sure about 8GB stick though.

    I ended up taking out the old PSU and hacked my other PSU inside. Have to gave up my expansion slots but that's okay. It will do for now. Its days are numbered.

    HP Slimline s5000 504966-001 P/S not powering on

    I have an HP s5000 series Slimline desktop with P/S 504966-001 (https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Original-HP-TFX0220D5WA-504966-001/dp/B00BJ1PIVK) It is not powering on when I press the power button on the case (P/S fan not spinning but power LED is always green). I unplugged it and tested it...

    The highly rated HP Pavilion Slimline PC thread

    I initally thought my P/S is bad. But if I hook it up to a tester, it will power up and only the -5V is off. I googled and found out -5V is not needed. But plugging it back in, PC won't power on. I am confused.

    The highly rated HP Pavilion Slimline PC thread

    Thanks for taking the time for look up P/S for me. I took a look at the listing. It seems their connectors are more limited. Some has not SATA power and even the more expensive one seems to have just 1. I don't have spare adapters around. I guess another thing I missed with my slimline is...

    The highly rated HP Pavilion Slimline PC thread

    Yeah, I wish I could repeat there success. My s5150 M/B just absolutely won't boot with any quad core processors (tried 3) I threw at it. They are all genuine because I have another LGA775 desktop that I can test on. I think my M/B is an older revision and it needs a BIOS upgrade but there is...

    The highly rated HP Pavilion Slimline PC thread

    Originally, I wanted to keep the Slimline because it fits a standard m-ATX motherboard (I think) and comes with a P/S that uses standard 24pin power and comes with 4-pin CPU power. But now my P/S is dead. I wonder if I should just write it off? Core2Duo is really old. If you have seen my earlier...
