    The strangest hanging problem. Motherboard? Ram? Power?

    Yeah MB bios was updated. Soooo Here's the update, I was able to resolve the issue... I ended up basically replacing everything including trying 2 new motherboards. Turns out, the CPU cannot handle stock clocks anymore ( it was never overclocked) and basically has become defective. The reason...

    Finally found a computer that won't run Windows 11 22H2, trying to figure out why.

    Two things strike me here. #1 Add more ram, sounds like you could be running out of paged pool memory and windows is trying to address more than it has available. #2 HD issue where it can't write to the disk in which case your chipset drivers are exactly the problem you were talking about...

    The strangest hanging problem. Motherboard? Ram? Power?

    Problem: The system hangs while booting to any device USB/NVME at random times, spinning windows dots, after you get into WinPE and start doing something... However, if you boot from the NVME drive and make it to full-blown windows, the system is rock solid. No crashes, doing anything rock...

    Mind bending problem - Random restarts

    I agree, unfortunately, this is such a shitty problem. All I have is my server, it does have one PCI-E slot, but it's not ideal. The good news is I have a 5900x ryzen and motherboard, this will rule out the GPU was planning to upgrade the server. I ended up running a prime 95 and msi...

    Mind bending problem - Random restarts

    That's interesting, could be since this is such a rare CPU that most Motherboard manufactures wouldn't test it. I tried Prime 95 with for about 4 hours tonight on in-plane large FFTS maximum heat power and some ram tested option, and I ran kombustor GPU test from MSI at the same time. Came back...

    Mind bending problem - Random restarts

    Hi All, I'm hoping someone can steer me in the right direction. Problem: PC spontaneously restarts after running perfectly for 1.5 years. It only happens randomly restarting during gaming sessions (pubg). There has been no BSOD's, just like someone hit the restart button and the machine lost...

    Are the AMD drivers really that bad?

    Here's my experience, and I don't know if it's changed at all since the launch. I bought a 5700xt at launch to replace my 1070 GTX. What I noticed was pubg was a lot smoother due to the raw power, however, there was something wrong because if I went to specific towns it would have all this...

    The lies of IGP.

    Is it me or do you also feel let down by AMD in terms of APUs. I mean here we are a hell of a long time after ATI was taken over and the bold claims of APU’s coming to dominate and bring AMD to glory. Ryzen is only IMO almost evenly matched to intel because of price and more cores. It’s still...

    Tesla Supercharger Sabotaged: The Latest in a Series of Weird Anti-Tesla Incidents

    The stupidity baffles me. Now they are going to need cameras, or humans to guard this to drive up the cost of supercharging. Anyone caught doing this should get a VERY hefty fine and banned from driving for 5 years mandatory.

    Silicon Valley Wages Are Shrinking for All Except the Top 90th Percentile

    They really should simply move away to less expensive areas, when the demands for blue-collar workers skyrocket so will the pay. Just like anything else supply and demand. Shitty thing to up root and move, but if you can't sustain you must move... Humans been doing this for thousands of years.

    NVIDIA NDA & HardOCP - POLL

    PUBG Confirms New Anti-Cheat Measures Happening Today

    yep aimbots are still active... So sad that these kids cheat all day long. The cheats shouldn't just ban them it should move them to cheaters only servers which all cheaters just end up playing each other without saying shit to them.

    PUBG Anti-Cheat Update Coming Next Week

    Thank god, this game is such a damn bother with cheaters. I don't care if people use the after market shit they should be banned too, play the game the way it was designed NO add-ons any modifications. If you modify you are modifying for an unfair advantage.

    Major Design Changes Are Coming to StarCraft II

    full on foolish changes IMO. The nerf to Infestors is insane. I don't know how zerg will deal with carriers now. The only way before was to fungal with a parasitic bomb. While the bomb is stronger it doesn't stack so there is no point to casting more than one. I don't mind the mothership...

    Gaming Hardware Needs to Grow Up

    Fully agree with this, years ago I was trying to buy a laptop for work and that could do gaming. Considering I do a lot of VM testing I needed a powerful machine with lots of Ram. The video card would be icing but the only types of machines that had all of this was gaming machines that looked...

    Oculus CEO Brendan Iribe Steps Down

    My 2 cents, is GOOD. My buying experience was horrible, and I've been VERY disappointed in my oculus. It sits collecting dust, and I'm going to simply sell it on Ebay now at a few hundred dollar loss. Honestly, everything interaction with oculus has left a sour taste in my mouth. Their website...

    Somehow I'm almost 100% sure that ZEN will just be mediocre and won't even match skylake. We'll see but I've been down this road before. Anything that is hyped usually sucks, anything that has no hype and is just released and best people notice and you don't need marketing. Simply because of...

    Replacing a burned mofset on a P8P67 Pro

    Any idea what a FET driver chip looks like? Or where to find it on the p67? Thanks for the reply btw... I ended up buying a rework station anyways just for shits and giggles to have for later times, but I got to say the heat gun worked pretty damn well ;)

    Hi All, Need a picture of the resistors around the mounting screw by the audio jacks in the rear pannel.

    AMD Live Webcast From Computex 2016

    You bought the stuff then had to wait for it to be fixed. While you could just go out and get the competing card and have no fuss with one card doing the same as the two cards. (price/performance) as for power and noise. Not issues to me IMO unless you put the fan up to like 70-100% for OCing...

    What Sucks About HardOCP Video Card Reviews
