Sold so many K6-3 systems as servers, the 3 layers of cache just made servers fly....

Been getting that since last weekend, assume bots are overloading the site, but not sure...

I've had good luck recommending prebuilts from cyberpower, but they have a long, long lead time... So be prepared to wait...

That board used to be bulletproof. Had that setup as my server for a long time..

I can't help with why your edge is being elevated, but I can suggest to make exploits harder.... https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-security-windows-defender-application-guard Are you spawning Edge maybe from games that elevated? This posting is provided "AS IS" with no...

Same, it kept telling me I failed the captcha. :( Apparently I am a robot.

As long as the boxes don't share Creds, that's a good path, it follows the https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/security/compass/overview Secure Access Workstation model. But if they share any credentials, you have broken the model. Running with Windows 7 on the internet is a dangerous move, due...

If I could get ECC I would, back 22 years ago, when I owned my own computer store, I put ECC memory in everything. (God I'm old) It was more expensive, but man so many fewer support calls. If I could get it, I would just for the peace of mind. The bad part of his argument however; is ECC doesn't...

Are you not seeing the remove button on this page? Settings Sign in Options?

Because it's following the boot spec. I haven't owned setup code for over 17 years, so take this with a grain of salt. (I work on the Windows Defender team again, now) The spec says to put all boot details on disk 0 according to the bios spec from way back. Now Bios and UEFI are a lot smarter...

That bugcheck says a USB device sent some data that doesn't make sense... I can't get more details since you are on Windows 7.... I am 100% sure you have some hardware issue in your machine. I can't help you more than that, sorry. This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers...

That memory dump shows a paging in error of Wininit.exe. This is usually caused by failing Mass Storage devices in the chain. (mobo, hdd, etc) Your event log entry is another driver failing to page in, your video driver. Have you ran a chkdsk recently and see if there are errors? This posting...

Handles are not sockets? What are you trying to do in this python code? (Also, is there any event log entries about socket limit hit? There is a simultaneous socket limit due to worms...) This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

The problem with Windows 7 is that it doesn't have the protections of newer windows to make exploiting harder, as well if there is a patch for vuln for supported windows, it's trivial to reverse engineer and try it on Windows 7. Not being direct connect to the internet prevents people coming...

Lol, it would be weird for ex-operating system programmer to not be familiar with those features... So, there are things that cannot be patched during running, even the livepatch documentation calls some out. Hypervisor makes some patching easier below it, but then hotpatching a hypervisor is...
