I have recently installed AVG but after getting it installed I cannot access the internet any more.
I have tried disabling the Windows firewall and AVG internet protection shield. I have finally unintalled AVG now, but still no luck.
Hi uhm. My friend built himself a 3000-dollar PC and it'll sometimes freeze on the Windows 7 logo on boot, and he's about to just try to resell his PC parts at a loss because he doesn't know what to do. And he has this peculiar hate of asking strangers for help on the Internet. So here I am. Does anyone have an idea? :x
when one overclocks too high or has hardware settings in bios/uefi set slightly incorrect the windows logo is the first thing it will fail on, because at that moment many things are initing and much cpu and all.
Overclocked mentioned because when overclocking an occurance of this type would be nothing they worry about, for them it would just mean something is not set correct.
Takes some time to discover which item, when you did not cause it yourself :-) by doing things like overclocking.
Also there are specific BSODs that can occur from very stupid and simple things like being on AHCI or IDE, when the disk controller inits and the windows driver item does not match the Bios/uefi settings.
He also has checkboxes on file copy prompts (when destination file exists) after Windows has indeed booted. You know, those checkboxes that ask whether to do the same for the X next conflicts. It checks/unchecks itself every second for seemingly no reason. On a pure Windows installation
An input device could cause other issues at boot too, probably helpful on a Early build(not yet fully working) to not have crappy software for input device installed just yet, and to use input devices know to work somewhere else.
(to keep more things simple till tested for stability.)
I'll tell him that. He tends to build high towers of scary-looking customizations, so even if he tells me it was bare and clean, I have trouble believing it.
BTW hi; haven't come to this chatroom for an eternity and a half.
@JourneymanGeek With that motherboard, I'd probably check to see if there's some sort of factory OC. I wouldn't be suprised if the default BIOS was "optomized".
(I've had one that's slowly lost its ability to output to its digital outs. And another one with garbled text. And one that suddenly dropped dead one day)
ahh, yeah
and asus has extra oc functions that intel dosen't support

ddwrt isn't updated as much. And I do think openwrt has made a few pretty major improvements in terms of UI since I last bricked a router Tried to install it
I guess I will compare all the 232 models in the compiled list to the list of supported devices for both DD-WRT and OpenWRT, then pick the 5 possible cheapest models, and work from there
Because I get wary of launchers. Almost all suspicious ADs I see on mobile get me to the download page for some launchers. Those launchers have all 5, 10, 300 millions donwloads and lots of 5 star reviews with garbled language (but it could be legimitame users, who knows).
The ADs are so bizarrely suspicious, they pratically scream "I AM A MALWARE LOL!!!!!11!!!11ONE"
So in my mind someone is using launchers on Google Play to do suspicious stuff
and launchers, by their nature, requite a lot of permissions

@DragonLord I have a feeling just from watching that clip that the ball wasn't going in until the keeper got a hand to it. Will need to find a better angle.
Ahh, nah. Definitely going in after getting a better view.
I am on the 4th Dark matter, it is still good. so far nothing obscurely alien , like some other space sci-fi, lots of shoot-em up action and personal conflict.
I really want to find another "starTrekey" "StarGatey" or even starship troopers Yea! sort of obescurely alien oddities that humans are thrust into the world of.
Lexx well that is obscurely alien :-) but also looks like it is made in the 1970s
here's what's happening. The application connects to the other system, and runs it here over X (so there's probably an ugly wrapper script) somewhere. Since that user isn't here, and some nx related wierdness, it fails.
(this also means I'm probably not hitting what my storage is actually capable of, since iozone is actually hitting the single-thread restriction first)
maybe I need to pass in the thread options to get better results... urk
@allquixotic Turning on compression raises the highest-load zfs workers from ~3% ea to ~5-6% ea. But overall it seems fairly stable.
You probably have a lower baseline load since you aren't using raidz - I'm doing parity calculations on the CPU
@JourneymanGeek Heh... that might, might be enough for a 6 TB array with dedup.
Rule of thumb: 5 GB of RAM per 1 TB storage. Dedup table is max 25% of ARC. Without L2ARC, that's 20 GB RAM per 1 TB storage.
Without dedup, ou only have to worry about the ARC... things get simpler :P
When we add images to posts, they're often shrunk to fit the web page (reduction of the width and height). I suspect this is done automatically by the HTML.
However, some times, we need to see the bigger picture (literally).
I often edit posts such as virus hides files, shrinks total capacity ...
@Bob heh. and xfs doesn't need any tweaking, so it's whatever
@Bob I believe I set mine to some significantly lower value, like 24 GB out of 128 (reasonable, since not reading from disk is much more important for me than having lots of free RAM; that free RAM isn't going to get used anyway)
this article is awesome @JourneymanGeek @Bob and gives us more insight into CPU stuffs than most of us would be able to keep up with... but also contains terms worth a google later :P anandtech.com/show/9330/exynos-7420-deep-dive
gotta love Anandtech digging into the details for us. I want that (or the next version) in my Note 5!
how hard would it be for them to stick a pen digitizer and a pen in an S6? oh, and a microSD card slot
"like the fruits that are higher up on the tree, for which you would have had to climb up higher to retrieve. The simplest definition is that “low hanging fruit” means something that is easy to do." in sales the customers that are easy to sell. in investing the quick boost to sales.
Just when i thought it might have something to do with how easy it is to have bugs :-)
Texas - I heard tornadoes visit sometimes Nevada - UFOs visit sometimes and activate EMP New York - Gangsta's looking for money and employ hackers to breach and steal sensitive data
New york has a very high cost of living, one might get better (human) service at a place where the cost of said service could be 1/2 that. AZ might have higher enviromental cooling costs than chicago, although low costs for the power to do the cooling. Chicago has lowered costs of living (due to drooped workplaces with the car factory) is slightly in tornado alley zone.
Biggest actual fire danger exists in the most lonely places, where huge forest burn out of control, and where there is no complete pannic to preserve human resources.
Large unused wastelands :-) that humans do not desire to live in, have low costs of operations for the cost of building , and taxation kinds of things.
@mhsjlw Actually, we are on-topic, but I've no desire to help someone who doesn't attempt to help themselves. Snipe has come in here many times with random problems, and right out of the gate he immediately says "HELP". If I'm going to spend my valuable time helping someone, they can at least ask a smart question.
There is no built in way to do this, but you could use LidLock for this purpose. It is a GUI tool which can help you what you want to achieve. You can also set it to start automatically with Windows start-up.
You can also set the timer for sleep/hibernate after locking the laptop.
You...
@snipe It's your fault for not putting in the thought to string a couple of words together in a Google search to find answers to your problems. I employed absolutely no special knowledge or mysterious wisdom in providing you these answers. I simply summarized your questions into 5 or 6 words, put them in Google, and clicked on the first or second link. It's really that simple, most of the time.
@snipe You're using up someone else's time for a problem that can very easily be solved on your own. Wouldn't you rather be independent, than to come face to face with a problem, throw up your hands, and scream "HELP!!!!!!!" at the monitor?
Again, there's nothing skilled or mystical about how I found the answer to your problem. In here, we actually enjoy solving problems that make us think about the solutions, not just quickly google for it. That's why many of us are here. We want people to come to us with thought-provoking problems that can't just be solved immediately with a google.
Just out of interest I would like to find out how many comments and questions I have sent over my time on "Super User". I would like to know this because of some results to do with badges.
