My computer has slowed to a crawl. Think it might be my ssd. Anyone got any suggestions for debugging/fixing?

Q: How can I debug issues with my SSD?

My computer has slowed to a crawl, and I'm pretty sure my SSD is the culprit. As of this morning, my OS takes forever to start up (20+ minutes to get to the Windows login). Ever since I installed the SSD I've had random slow downs where Windows freezes for several second before responding, once e...

@Ktash you try doing a AS SSD Benchmark?

Ran a benchmark from the Samsung software. It just timed out lol

@Ktash I assume you're using AHCI mode?

No, last time I tried to set it to that it wouldn't boot. Trying again now

1:15 AM

@Ktash what sata ports are you using? intel? marvell?

Honestly couldn't tell you. I think marvell

@Ktash do you have any other drives installed?

3 hdd. One used to be the primary boot drive. I'm thinking I maybe need to figuring how to stop that being the primary boot drive or something

20 years ago today, this happened:

►

@Ktash that might be causing some issues... I seem to remember from reading somewhere that windows does checks on extra drives during boot up process to make sure there aren't any errors and stuff

check the boot device arrangement, make sure your SSD is on top of the list, making it the 1st device to be booted.

1:25 AM

No luck booting to that. Booting fails to find windows and goes to the cd drive instead

@Ktash eh? how do you have things set up?

Ahci sata config with the SSD as the primary boot

HI BRIDGE

@spugsley Hello, Samantha.

@spugsley Hello.

1:33 AM

@Wipqozn Hello.

GO TURTLE GO....oh :(

►

Somebody made the first Night Vale episode into a video.

@Ktash I assume this isn't a fresh w7 install

In Control Panel, go to Administrative Tools and launch Event Viewer.

expand Applications and Services Logs, and go to Microsoft, Windows, and then Diagnostics Performance, under Operational, look to see if you have any events with the id 100

It's a fresh install for the drive, but I did it a few weeks ago. I'll check that whenever I actually get done booting

And now I can't boot at all... Lovley

@Ktash eh? what happened?

1:42 AM

@LessPop_MoreFizz I don't know if I'd call this a 'video'.

I should get caught up on those

I've only gotten through like 5 or 6

I keep getting interrupted

in fact I had the house to myself for the last three days, I should have did it then

anyway bedtime

Noooooooo!!!!! My SSD isn't listed in my drives anymore!!!!

Tomorrow's a day off, so I'm very happy about that.

@Ktash O_O

@fbueckert Wacky canadian holidays

Whelp, my SSD looks to be dead.... I hate drives. Seriously

1:56 AM

@Ktash how'd that happen?

I got this drive because one of my hdd died on me*

@krazer I just switched it back to IDE and switched the boot devices back to what they were and restarted

user20683

@Ktash Time for Adobe DD (disributed drive) to be a thing.

Bridge. Tell me to go write

I'm avoiding it

@spugsley Write. Or the owl will eat you

@spugsley Pls write something awesome for us to read.

@Krazer for you to read? I don't think so. Not till I'm published :3 (or self published, either way)

@spugsley for all of us! as a teaser~

user20683

@spugsley go write or I will suspend you. ;p

@Krazer a teaser?!?!

2:07 AM

What's all this about @spugsley and teasing?

I'd like to say some things about my recent comments on Darksiders II.

You see, the way I play expects the ability to quickly dodge from enemy attacks.

Playing style is an individual preference, of course, but the way Death is able to dodge attacks simply fits my playing style well.

@spugsley there is a demand~

@Krazer Everything I would share would be super out of context. Lol it's a complicated story

@DragonLord I'm not sure what your recent comments were, but not getting hit is the best defense.

23 hours ago, by DragonLord

Spent a bit of time on Darksiders II: Death has this air of swiftness I've never experienced with any other character I've played.

2:10 AM

excellent! we'll have one of each

@DragonLord I should probably buy that one of these days.

@Wipqozn You weren't around when I made those comments.:

@spugsley Self published? So it's a novel or something?

I have a tendency to get frustrated when a character can't quickly dodge attacks. Thus far, I haven't been frustrated with Death.

@BenBrocka it is. I've been working on it on and (mostly) off for the last year and a half

2:13 AM

@spugsley Ah, cool. I wrote about 80 pages of a novel back in high school and have a few ideas for one floating around now, but I haven't really sat myself down to write

@BenBrocka yeah I did a ton of writing when I was in high school. It kind of got away from me in college, but I know if I just force myself, I can knock out an entire novel. The ideas are there. It's just the doing it

user20683

@spugsley well Novel in November is coming up

@WorldEngineer lol totoally tried that last year. That's when I did the bulk of my writing. I got to 8000 words or so :p Which is like nothing in novel land

I want to write more, but I also want to play games, make videos, program, design, sleep, work...there's never enough time

@BenBrocka what are you looking to write about?

2:22 AM

@Krazer The most developed idea is some soft sci fi

Yawus

@Fluttershy Thank you again for the PAYDAY 2 beta invite. It seems a lot more interesting than I first thought.

That's what the half-finished high school novel is too

@BenBrocka I wish I was imaginative enough to write sci-fi. I mostly write fantasy with some interesting elements. This novel is about Empaths

@spugsley I kinda wish I had ideas for stuff other than sci fi, being a "genre" piece kills like 90% of your audience

...then again, looking at readers today, not being generic sexy vampires starring Self Insert Girl kills 90% of your audience

2:30 AM

@BenBrocka bahahaha

Fantasy is good too though

it's what I've always read so it's what I know

user20683

I've got an entire working fantasy setting :)

user20683

and a scifi setting

user20683

and other stuff

2:31 AM

I've also done some really heavy short stories about self harm and depression

but that's as realistic as I get. I'm not much for modern day settings

@spugsley If you need someone to bounce ideas off of or read some stuff let me know. I might ask the same of you once I get some drafts though though

@BenBrocka I love reading other people's work so absolutely :)

go go Arqade writer's group~

@OrigamiRobot does too. He's helped me a ton with my novel so you should ask him too :)

I'd be interested in helping out, too~

2:42 AM

@Yawus You're welcome!

This might just be the best bundle Steam has ever offered.

@Krazer ok :3

I wanna help! What are we helping with?

lol my novel. If I ever get less embarassed about people reading it :3

I always think I'm a failure. I hate sharing

I can never think of a salespitch that doesn't sound crazy

@spugsley Oh yeah! I totally help with that. :3

@BenBrocka But how do you get the pesky thing to run most efficiently on your I7 and couple of dual GPU together? (without melting anything preferably)

With melting the GPU's I can ask a friend who did just that, melt two pretty pricy GPU's by folding Non-stop.

@LessPop_MoreFizz People wearing Google Glass are so cool, they just casually break windows with their heads.

Google Glass: The only glass allowed to be in front of you.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Is that an American toonie

@GnomeSlice ... ... no.

@LessPop_MoreFizz =P

@Arperum He should have stress-tested his stuff then. Can't imagine getting dual GPUs without being damn sure the cooling system could keep up

@BenBrocka can't imagine modern GPUs without thermal fail safes either

@BenBrocka Yea, well. IIRC it was a rather hot week and he wasn't there to stop things. It ended up with cards who ran at about 120°C for a week.

@KevinvanderVelden You don't want a failsafe to kick in anyway

@BenBrocka I would if it prevented damage! I'd rather stop gaming for a bit and fix it than game 5 minutes longer and have a molten GPU.

It were rather modern GPU's IIRC some 2 or 3 generations of NVidia cards back.

@KevinvanderVelden I mean you don't want the temperature to get high enough to trigger it anyway

@KevinvanderVelden They were only partly melted/roasted though. And they ran for literally months non-stop on full load.

@BenBrocka of course, that's what monitoring is for, but sometimes the weather is extreme or something goes wrong, that's when I want the thing to just hard shutdown

Heh, this is how I imagine all the W3C negotiations play out.

@RedRiderX Oi, you got some free time?
