A few months later, still out of stock in my country and ASRock 4x4 not even appeared in shops. Neither NUC 11 (Tiger Lake CPU with AV1 decoding support?). I guess i will have to wait some more month/s.

Yes, i have ran the Scandisk, result is OK. Though maybe due to actions described in the second half of my previous post, i no longer see that kind of BSOD. Instead i have had only one BSOD that seems a bit different code:

Unhandled exception: OSError: cannot watch more than 1024 sockets in lib/gevent/baseserver.py line 199 > ... > corecext.pyx line 640 > 1006 Python app return it. I retried to run it when handles fall from 65K to 7K and app worked. I was using System explorer to sort processes but it not...

Please kindly how exactly to increase the Windows 10 limit so the apps (in this case Python script) does not complain like: "OSError: cannot watch more than 1024 sockets"? System Explorer tool shows that i am using around 65000 handles. This number seems familiar to me to some kind of limit or...

Hello, this issue do not go away: seemingly similar BSOD's, game freezing for a second sometimes, and displayed screen image defects. Regarding screen defects - these may not be related to BSOD, these defects happen when i connect the monitor to both mine computers at same time thru the HDMI...

Thank you for the reply. i have plugged the drive to computer using yet another data cable, and under this third cable the drive does not "disconnect"/does not show errors in Event log. It is weird, one would expect the cable will either work or not work at all when you do not touch it) I will...

Hi, i think this issue is SOLVED now thanks to your suggestions. This is what i did on Linux (not have?, try live bootable USB Linux): - sdX is my faulty drive, replace by yours, see "lsblk" or "fdisk -l" - Do this on your risk and possibly backup by "ddrescue" or other SW if drive contains...

In my case it is 15-20 minutes. I would also like to hear any ideas to improve this - obviously i am speaking about software solution, not HW. One way to solve this is not to boot up your PC (i mean keep it running and only suspend. That way you should be able to start working right away or in...

It happened like third time. I already seen partition/filesystem "damage" that i was unable to recover. But this time reconnect worked. In aim to discover some detail i gathered some data and for privacy reason i post it here on external site protected by passw0rd "pc". If you have a few...

Hello, any mini PCs (energy and space efficient computer) in 2020 with performance CPUs like AMD Renoir 7nm CPU 4800U (17K passmark) and RAM support 64GB ? So far i know about ASUS PN50 which i sold with Ryzen 4800U (one of the highest performance Renoirs) and possibly at the end of the year the...

Sorry, i was playing with the drive, rebooting, attaching it as a USB so that is why i written different sdx, sdx* - but it is still one drive. Thanks for reminding, yes, i have made the backup. Yes i want to learn how to find bad sectors and let them me properly marked as either good or...

This issue has a solution described a few posts below! :) Hello, the Linux system drive (HDD) has two bad blocks (or parts within it) - HD Tune and Minitool partition wizard reported it and SMART shows 2 pending sectors and 4 offline uncorrectable. If i understand correctly, i may want to let...

Maybe someone will know how to do it. I have found another problem with this fan. it seems to have very low power at times that it do not spin at all and at that moment the thin (2mm) USB cable start being warm. And when i turn off the power switch on the fan, the cable cools down. I have pushed...

I made a progress and successfully recovered selected data from the drive Here is what i did. I was trying chkdsk command and was running MiniTool Data recovery wizard (was suggested partition recovery wizard will not work) and it took maybe 5 full days to complete and show files. It was very...

Ready4Dis i do not think this will do. I am having non english windows, so i went to Control panels, Power options, next to my current power scheme clicked for advanced power settings, found USB setting which had both options (battery/mains) disabled/forbidden already.

Your post was not much helpfull, issue remains. Explanation: Yes, i know USB 2.0 port is 0.5 Amper and the fan needs 0.1 Amper. Fan type is mentioned under the link i already posted. Issue is how to exactly do what you suggest on Windows 10. That is my target - what to exactly do on W10.

Hello, i am having several computers and one USB 3.0 hub (has its own optional power supply) and this hub PCB (printed circuit board) may have short circuit or be somehow electicaly damaged. How likely it is that when i connect this hub to the USB port of the computer and connect USB flash...

i have send this advice to the buyer, hopefuly that SW will detect the drive and he will try it. I think that the drive was protected by antistatic bag and multiple layers of the bubble clingfilm so even if dropped , it should be OK. I hope someone can share some steps to do after which we can...

Hello, i read some comparison from which i discovered that the best defragmenter should be MyDefrag and other decent defragmenter also UltraDefrag. I defragmented the files, but thinking about aligning the files as it contains some gaps. Problem is that there are two files that are larger than...

I tried to repeat it on USB3. Old vlaues was: 1.64 18.11 new values are (did 5 runs for each instead of 2): 2.80 18.93 (so the read value is similar to SATA and write value stays similar as before which is 1/3 more than SATAII - this is not a problem for me as i will be using the drive as USB3)

Hello, Hello, can anyone please comment on the comparison of the HDD Seagate Exos X16 16TB ST16000NM001G-2KK103 results between SATAII, USB 2 and USB 3? from left to right: SATAII, USB2, USB3 The drive should have not been utilized by any other process and was empty during the tests. In...
