    Windows XP to a scientific instrument in a VM?

    Thanks for the clarification. I'm going to talk with our IT guys later this week and see what could be possible. I'm not too familiar with what all of the policies are yet. I just know that the current situation with backups and data preservation isn't a sound way to do this and the Pentium 4...

    Windows XP to a scientific instrument in a VM?

    Ok thanks! I wasn't sure if a VM was the route to go, so I'll do some more thinking on it. I still may do a VM like you suggest on a much newer PC so I don't have to try and cobble together an old PC from obsolete parts and then just keep that one off the network as well.

    Windows XP to a scientific instrument in a VM?

    Thanks for the quick reply. Part of the reason I'm trying to figure this out is they have conflicting goals. We are "supposed" to be backing up all publicly available research data to the university networks, but they assume that all PCs are Windows 10 with the backup solution installed. But...

    Windows XP to a scientific instrument in a VM?

    Hi all, I'm not too familiar with VM but looking to explore this as a possiblilty. I work in a research lab and a few of our instruments use software that only runs on Windows XP. The main one I'm concerned with uses a NETBEUI connection to the instrument on an ethernet cable (using the...

    What to do with spare i7-3770 + GT640 system?

    It still is a decent PC. The past 2 complete PC's that I've moved on from that were in good condition I asked around to friends/family with kids in school or whatever if they needed a PC for school work. If you can't think of anything contact me via PM. Perkins Observatory in central Ohio...

    XFX R9 270x crashes unless underclocked.. options?

    Simplyfun called it correct. Even underclocked it started to have a strange coil whine yesterday and now it crashes consistently. I'm chucking it and going with a 1070 or a RX570ish card when I see a good sale. Unfortunately I just bought a new lawn mower, clothes washer and dryer... so it'll...

    XFX R9 270x crashes unless underclocked.. options?

    I PM'd the rep. If he can't/won't do anything or doesn't reply then yes, that was my plan Crosshairs. Onto the second question... next card? I see the RX570 mentioned, what is the equivalent nVidia generation... the 1060?

    XFX R9 270x crashes unless underclocked.. options?

    Thanks for the suggestion, I didn't even know there was an XFX rep here! Hopefully I can get it taken care of (and yes, I'd love to move up to a different card).

    XFX R9 270x crashes unless underclocked.. options?

    My PC was crashing to randomly striped screens (or sometimes just straight black screen) during intense games. I tried all the normal steps of using DDU to uninstall the drivers and install new ones, refreshed Windows 10, reinstalled Windows 10 completely, checked SSDs for errors, ran MEMTEST...

    Windows 10 1607 search

    Thanks guys. I'll look into a separate addon... but darn it... it USED TO WORK FINE MS! The Win 8.1 search was fantastic. I could just swipe from the side and start typing and nearly anything I was looking for (files, settings, help) just popped right up! Even before the Anniversary update...
