Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I have an Origen X11 HTPC aluminum case with all of it's components still - it's all old stuff and not much value, but the aluminum case itself is really a great case and I've been holding on to it for years since I've built my new computer desk and I'd just like to get rid of it and make some...
Ok so I found the files in regedit, but not sure which ones to actually edit? Here's a screen shot of all files under that directory:
Which ones do I want to edit? Just the ones under the SAMOD3AXXXXX etc files? Or every file under that directory?
So I use a 65" Samsung 4k tv UN65KS8000 and use a 4k HDMI cable to connect it to my computer.
I have a weird glitch a lot of times where whatever windows I have open (usually a bigger size) they all collapse down into a tiny window in the top left hand corner of the tv/monitor and I have to...
But the point of going hardware encryption via ATA password was because it was the absolute best, most secure option. Software is supposed to have a backdoor (I'm sure the hardware does too) and slow the drive down.
I'm going to reach out to the team that broke into the encryption and try to...
This thread on samsungs website about their 960's & 970's seem to state that all of the technology isn't in place for M.2 drives to take advantage of being a boot drive with hardware FDE Class 0 or Opal/edrive yet because of a BIOS update that most manufacturers need to push out. (which who...
I usually like to have my OS on physically separate SSDs in case one gets corrupted, the other is still safe and able to boot up. Putting them both on a single M.2 with partition and grub is a great idea though and I may do it for now since I've been using windows 99% of the time any more...
So I'm pretty sure I'm going with this one since it has an internal connection:

It is connected via a PCI...
So it seems it is the power supply. this is the one I have:
EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 P2 220-P2-1000-XR 80+ PLATINUM 1000W Fully Modular EVGA ECO Mode Includes FREE Power On Self Tester Power Supply
I found the supplied detection tool and plugged it in and one my of cathodes on my reservoirs (no...
Damn ok, it might be the MOBO then, I'm going to have to take it apart more and inspect closer. I'll let you guys know if I have any more questions.
Thanks.
It was most definitely coming from the mobo/cpu/video card - I put my face by it and could smell it, but can't determine which. It's for sure not the PSU as that's in another chamber in my desk.
So this is a first for my system, I noticed an odd plastic burning smell of some kind, it was faint. Then a couple minutes later my computer shut down.
I assumed it was the processor that got too hot and shut down before it died. I took the cooling fan off and no doubt it was pretty dusty, I...
