    Nvidia Is Negotiating To Buy A Large PC Oriented Company

    3 of my 4 work Dell laptops have hardware problems. My wife's dell also has problems. My personal experience with them have been trash. Maybe Nvidia can untrash them.

    Majority of CEOs Report Zero Payoff From AI Splurge

    In my line of work I have found it to be quite useful - code generation, bash scripts, SQL generation, etc.

    BSOD even after replacing all parts

    At this point his system is stable. But he tried using a different case as well during the troubleshooting.

    BSOD even after replacing all parts

    It just seems wildly improbable that he would have 3 bad GPUs in a row.

    BSOD even after replacing all parts

    Haven't tried a different circuit yet. As for rabbit hole shenanigans, he tried changing in registry the TdrDelay (and related) values, and disabling the MultiPlane overlay. We did a fresh windows install afterwards since that fiddling hasn't helped. BSOD errors are most commonly a 0x133...

    BSOD even after replacing all parts

    Yeah I asked about the some sort of electrically noisey things turning like a vacuum or something else when it crashes, but no pattern to that. It's been running in the same spot from Jan 2023 to Sept 2025 without issue. No new things introduced on that circuit around the time the issues...

    BSOD even after replacing all parts

    He bought a tool to test for power "noise" and his outlet used for his PC was considered the cleanest of the ones he tested.

    BSOD even after replacing all parts

    1) Already tried removing all unneeded USB devices. Just keyboard and mouse is plugged it. Also tried different keyboard and mouse. 2) Already tried two sets of RAM. Even the first set passed memory tests, but it was the last thing we swapped out since nothing else has worked. This new kit we...

    BSOD even after replacing all parts

    A friend has been having his PC BSODing for months while playing games. Some games BSOD sooner than others. I have been helping him in the troubleshooting process and I am at a loss now. We have tried pretty much everything. The CPU, RAM, Motherboard, GPU, PSU, and even case has been replaced...

    Noctua Presents chromax.black Versions of Its NH-D15 G2 and NF-A14x25 G2

    This can be achieved much cheaper with a thermalright and a stack of fans you could purchase with the left over money.

    Synology confirms that higher-end NAS products will require its branded drives

    I bought a Synology because at the time (2015) it was easy and I could throw in a bunch of different size drives (which was important in my purchasing decision) and have it be used like a RAID. I know there are plenty of free alternatives out there now, but anytime I start to look into them and...

    AI slop infects PC watercooling with Thermaltake's 'AI Forge' feature — adds generative AI to its MagFloe Ultra AIO

    I'm the same way. I have no RGB fans, no flashing RAM, a good ol fashion heatsink with fans on my cpu. Nowdays water cooling AMD X3D chips just isn't worth it to me compared to the old days. They already are plenty performant. I'd rather avoid the failure point of water cooling with modern...
