It's that time of the year again... Where I've completed my finals, my work tasks have slimmed a little and I think to myself I can get the blog back up and going again. So here we are! I'm calling for all Super Users that would like to contribute to the Super User Blog.

It's like those prudes who call the regulator to complain every time Jeremy Clarkson says something racist or whenever someone goes on TV wearing anything displaying cleavage
the new Star Wars didn't really have any Interesting Language Characters like the other movies. We had Jar Jar's Gungan accent, we had Yoda's Yoda Species accent, we had HK-51 in KOTOR ("Statement:", "meatbag", etc.) but nothing in TFA
The only advice that can be given is to get it replaced where you purchased it from but if you have been suffering for 6 months i think you may be too late.
Try it in another computer, if it doesn't work then you need a new one.
I did a backup with acronis recently and saved the log, but the datestamps are some really long int that I cannot easily comprehend. Any ideas how to read it?
Curiously at work there are only a small group of people who can recreate certain problems. Give the exact same stuff to a different group and the problem is impossible to replicate.
We tried to rule out that issue with a third control group and a video of what the first were doing to make it happen. Apparently not PEBKAC or PICNIC.
Quantum Bogodynamics is the only rational explanation.
If you're willing to risk breaking the card entirely (beyond any reasonable hope of repair), you can try certain things that may or may not help. Your success or failure with these remedies depends on certain things:
Whether or not the remedy you're attempting is able to fix the specific proble...
@tereško We since dismantled it, sacrificed a goat to Cthulhu, and then put it back together again. It worked flawlessly for everyone after that. Quite possibly something odd going on.
@allquixotic underclock and over fan. if the problem is a ram issue slowing down the thing is one part, but with the automated fan control, you really want to also, or firstly increase the overall cooling beyond the fan graphing (manually) to lower the temps beyond what the automation would react to .
Baking which is always stupid , COULD always be preceeded by fully fixing the thermal crap in the card, because the process of baking is the process of re-assembling everything better than was done on an assembly line.
How many cards were fixed by baking ? probably about 2 , how many were fixed by dissasembling fixing the thermals, and reassembling much more carefully , all of them :-)
the baking part is just the placebo to get you to do the real work :-)
so low clocking the ram itself, the fan would still respond to the GPU use, and likely to better cool the ram. low clocking the gpu the ram , which (probably still) is not part of the fan control could still be doing what it does, Die under crappy thermal pads :-)
I am still looking for the specs that say the place to put your electrolytic caps is in the 100*C breeze , let alone any caps that have survivability after being cooked to death in the oven.
if i read all the stuff correct, about thursday a dual coronal mass ejection spewed out, and travels at ~500mph and reached saterday?
it was all a bit confusing as different things travel at different speeds, and at 500mph it would take till like next year , , , i donno, so the sencing on the actual equiptment that sences it on the planet, i thought would best represent the reality at this end.
so anything that got messed up this weekend, a person could blame it on the sun, and avoid those questions about thier holiday drinking problems :-)
Coronal mass ejections reach velocities between 20 to 3,200 km/s (12 to 1,988 mi/s) with an average speed of 489 km/s (304 mi/s), based on SOHO/LASCO measurements between 1996 and 2003. These speeds correspond to transit times from the sun out to the mean radius of Earth's orbit of about 86 days to 13 hours (extremes) and 3.5 days (average), respectively.
@tereško Yeah, I read too much sci-fi and space news. These small distances seem almost laughable to measure when you consider the size of our local supercluster and then think that it doesn't even register as a small dot when you think about the rest of the universe.
Well technically you see the blast in 8.2 minutes when the photons from the ejection get to us, you feel it when the protons hit the atmosphere several days later when your power goes out...
"Solar protons get blown into space and can travel at speeds near the speed of light in extreme events. They are the first particles to arrive at Earth." When the ejection is pointed to earth. It was not in this case. I was reading before of what make up the items they class as "cosmic rays" and galactic cosmic rays and extra galactic cosmic rays, and still couldnt figure out Easily, what the item it is that effects computers, for the purpose of determining what blocks or slows such things.
99% of the StuffStorm is (after years of being wrong about it) specific things. and much of that interacts First with our atmosphere.
like alpha particals, they couldnt penetrate a computers plastic case even, but they will also decay.
at first i would have thought that "cosmic rays" were gamma, but so to did they "However, no correlation was found between the incidence of gamma-ray bursts and cosmic rays"
and who are we to say that the early scientists were not talking about "incidents of gamma-ray bursts" which they could refer to using cute words like Cosmic rays anyways :-)
I was just hoping to know 1 thing, What makes it to my computer that is supposed to bit-flip (specific) and how many mm of lead, or feet of concrete , or layers of gold would protect against such bit-flipping things. Seems like such a simple thing to ask, without having to get a degree .
"Another effect was slightly more mysterious: The SRAM at the top of server racks had a significantly greater number of transient errors than that at the middle or the bottom of the same racks" from "Elevation plays a role in memory error rates" networkworld.com/article/2172130/data-center/… Wild speculations from only 2 big fricking computers run at 2 different places, which can include everything from diff humans power&budgets
could also be explained (more easily) by thermal issues. The stacked servers for sure, but even the cooling of differenet types of air , inc air "pressure" AKA density of the air makeup for cooling, and even quantity of stuff like Moisture in said air.
