I know this isnt Sup Forums but ill ask anyway, good games for integrated hd3000 graphics?

From the other thread.
>So I finally finished my first build but I can't get it to start. It turns on but then shuts off in 3 seconds. Infinitely. Until I turn it off. Also some of my fans won't run but I'm sure it's because they're not connected properly

> good games
"good" is relative but, ktgee.net/netbook-games

game of install gentoo

What the fuck happened to this board?

the piratebay url is now .org instead of .se
is it safe?

I've never had to install graphics card drivers before and I'm not sure what to do to fix my resolution.

I've got a Radeon R9 380x and Windows 7.

The Auto Detect tool said it didn't detect any AMD hardware.

I've tried running the three things in the screenshot but nothing fixed the resolution.

bought a new keyboard pic related, it came without software to control the led on keys and it just has a specific pattern it keeps repeating is there anyway i can control the lighting?

emulate up to PS1 games
games made before 2006

What are you on about? /sqt/ has always used Dwight, you're thinking of /dpt/ which now has anime traps for people like you.

Dwight's been used for years

I use Xubuntu and I'm having trouble with creating a keyboard shortcut. I want scrot to output the image with a random filename but scrot Desktop/$RANDOM.png isn't working. Do I have to format $RANDOM in a special way since I'm not running the command through a keyboard shortcut and not inside bash?

What are these three folders and can I delete them?

What is happening here? I am recording the time required to perform computations. I expected the results to be linear, but there's this banding that occurs every once in a while. Am I just an idiot?

The chart is the output of (Python):
import time

for number in range(0, 10000, 10):
start = time.time()
for trial in range(0, number):
print(str(trial))
total_time = time.time() - start
output = open("results.csv", "a")
output.write(str(number) + "," + str(total_time) + "\n")

are you sure it was only a few months?

You haven't been on Sup Forums for a hell of a lot longer than a few months

What was the last non shit Firefox update? Im hearing lots of complains, is 47 ok? can I just download it from mozillas ftp server and install it normally?

FAILURE_ID_HASH_STRING: um:invalid_pointer_read_c0000005_hoi4.exe!unknown

what the fuck does that mean? c0000005 means memory error but I know the memory is working fine because every other game works.
some guy said yesterday it might be an registry error but I'm not sure

>Hey Sup Forums, i'm trying to clone my ssd to a new one (128->256gb) with macrium reflect. Already used chkdsk and it told me there's nothing wrong with either drives.
Imaging failed. Is it fucked?

COME ON, PACK YOUR BAGS

bump limit isn't even within joking distance, fuck off

...

1060 RESTOCKS WHEN

I've never experienced errors on ssd's but from i/o error i'd say yes one of them is fucked. Run whatever smart monitoring tool you want and check for errors and warnings, crystaldisk mark or gsmartcontrol. Perform short and long self tests too.

Also I know linux dd command and clonezilla can ignore damaged sectors but thats not quite the same as an i/o error but you can try your luck with them.

Anyone have images of smart phone schematics/sketches? I'm trying to find a really technical one and a simple one to prove a point for something

I'm programming some stuff with javascript and php.
Currently I'm working with files, and for some reason, once php sends a file name to javascript, it adds %EF%BB%BF%EF%BB%BF to the file name.
Javascript show me those hidden character with an alert(), but php don't if I echo $file, it just show me the good file name. If I use strcmp(file, "file.txt") it tells me those strings aren't the same.

Any idea why it happens and how can I solve this ?

Whats the best public tracker now that KAT is dead?

Looking into buying a ThinkPad T430.
The one I'm looking at has Windows 8.1
I can remove this and install Linux right?
How is Linux when it comes to programming? I'm taking a class next semester and we're going to be learning C++

Also here are a bunch of stupid ass questions:
Is Core i5-3320M good? What is CPU Speed and what is it important for? Is 2.6GHz ok?
Also is Intel HD Graphics good?

Holy shit that PSU is so overkill. Unless you're running triple SLI Titans or some shit you don't need it. If you have money to spare you can get a 1070/1080 and whatever you do, don't SLI because it's not worth the pain. Windows 10 if you are gonna play games and don't want the hassle of setting up a complicated Linux OS.

Is there a site where I can check if certain specs can run certain games? One of the sites that I normally use checks the current systems specs. I was wondering if there's one where I can check specific ones before I buy the parts

This is the best Android browser or just a trojan?

how do i turn bulk cached images into actual image files?

I've been learning Java for a few months (no bully) and I was writing everything in vim like a good samaritan, but now I'm being told I pretty much have to use an IDE like Eclipse. Why?

Both look fine to me, but the max temp of your first hard drive (48c°) and health doesnt look good and the read error message make me think the problem is the drive youre trying to clone, might just be windows fucking up.

Are they plugged directly into the motherboard? Imo youre better using DOS or bootable utilities for this kind of things, in any case try zeroing/full-format the destination drive just to be sure its working ok, yeah I know they say you shouldnt write too much to ssds but thats for very old ssds only, once wont hurt.

Renaming their extensions with a bulk renamer maybe?

Happend to me too

Your 6 pin isn't connected to your mobo.

Or you only have 3 pins connected and you didn't add the extra moduel

Java has a disgusting amount of libraries and shit you need to memorize to properly use it in (g)vim. IDEs can do all of that for you. You can use (g)vim if you like, IDEs are just a lot easier, especially when you're exploring something new and complex.

HELP

my GTX 1070, according to GPU-Z, has a memory clock of 2000. I can get it to 2304 with a +600 on the memory clock in MSI AB

my GTX 1080 reports like 1200 and 1350 with a +400 on the memory clock in MSI AB

shouldn't a fucking GTX 1080's memory clock match it, or did they lower the 1080's memory clock just because it has GDDR5x?

What do you mean? Which cable would that be? I don't see any 6 pin slots avaliable.

If I get a high refresh rate monitor for my battle station, will I start to notice flickering from over head fluorescent and LED bulbs?

How do I upgrade a ROM via TWRP so that I keep all my Data ? Do I simply flash it ? Do I have to flash GAPPS again ?

CRT - THE FUCKING LINES ARE BURNED INTO MY EYES
TN - Shitty colors, bad viewing angles
VA - Not great colors
IPS - Ghosting and response time
AH-IPS - Basically I have no money

Fuck I suck.

>Are they plugged directly into the motherboard?
Yup, its on a laptop. Trying to clone into an msata

>Imo youre better using DOS or bootable utilities for this kind of things
???
How do i go about this?

>in any case try zeroing/full-format the destination drive just to be sure its working ok, yeah I know they say you shouldnt write too much to ssds but thats for very old ssds only, once wont hurt.
done

I'm not that familiar with disc imaging/smart/storage diagnosis. sorry

is there any way to run ios apps in desktop/android? like an emulator or sth, i just need to test something but have no iOS available

Help me pick out some stuff from monoprice (or whatever) so I can make my own cat6 cable.

RJ45 connector + boostrap/stress relief stuff.

I'm the guy from yesterday with the broken MBR. Need some more help.

I tried hirens but I'm running into problems with it.
One video I watched showed how you can use mbrfix through mini xp but when I try starting xp i get a bsod saying:
"the bios in this system is not fully acpi compliant. ...". Might be my speccs?

When I tried through dos it says:
"Warning: the high memory area (HMA) is not available. Additional low memory will be used instead. Creating 64Mb Ram Drive as R:" then it says "Bad command or file name. Syntax error".

Anyone know hirens well?

Pros and cons of linux?
I'm going to delete windows and install it soon.
Good for programming? Or stick with le windows

no, but i need to download and install an ios app into sth so i can run it and test shit on it

Alright, I know it's been beaten to death at this point. But, 1060 or 480?
My 660 isn't cutting it anymore and I'm upgrading. Is the 1060 worth the extra money?

No. You don't magically start seeing "faster".

The wiki recommends learning go.
There is a good IDE for it?

Either clonezilla or any linux distro are powerful but hard to use. Ultimate boot CD contains Easeus Disk Copy which is simple to use and many other tools for imaging and includes gsmartcontrol to perform the disk short and long self tests. Perform the tests first because its either windows and the program fucking up or your drive is actually bad.

I ran the setup that came with my graphics card (copied it to a flash drive), so why is this the way it is?

What card?

Radeon R9 380x

None. Just use torrentz.eu to search all the crappy ones. You'll get a few things on isohunt

I can't figure this low GPU usage out

>280x ran like great when I first built my PC in 2013
>99% usage, constant 60 fps whenever I did play games
>fast forward a few years
>low GPU usage, low FPS in most games, just bareable most times
>tried reinstalling OS, drivers, etc a million times
>tried switching RAM, no difference
>benchmarked CPU against reference results, fine
>have an XFX 750W PSU so it should be fine
>buy 1070 hoping to fix this issue forever
>still happens
>Firestrike GPU score is 18,000, overall score 12500

I only get a high GPU usage on benchmarks, I tried CSGO on 720p and I was getting between 180-200 fps regardless of resolution, with a GPU usage of 19% and CPU1 at 80%, the others at 40-20%. Even Skyrim stays around 50 fps.

What gives, this has literally gone on for years and I have no idea what's causing it. I'm ready to give up senpai

4790k, GTX 1070, 32gb 1600 Mhz Corsair RAM, 250gb Samsung Pro SSD

Would appreciate any help. My PSU voltages seem fine.

Try making a macrium recovery disk and running the clone from it

Can I install linux with an SD card?
I can't find a USB laying around

Because:
1. That is a test that doesn't matter.
2. you should have bought a RX 480 instead the R9 380X.

How do I get traffic to my blog ? I am not on social media and I can't shill my blog to the few people I am friends with because its not what they are interested in.

Try a different PCIe Slot.

Update your drivers, rerun the assessment

The only other PCIe Slot is a x4

Hard to say, is the monitor cable connected to the card and not the motherboard? Try getting the latest drivers? Try restarting and rerunning the test?
Is the card actually functioning correctly?

If you either :
- play a lot of recent games (see by yourself the list of compatible Linux games for Steam in case you need to know)
- do heavy music or video production

then maybe Windows is better.

clonezilla and easeus disk copy seem linux only. How do i go about using those tools?

Over the past week or so, my GPU rapidly heats up to around 101 C and my fan gets extremely noisy whenever I play a game, regardless of the performance of any of the games. I've had my current PC since early 2015.

Is it dying, or do I just need to clean it?

I recently installed Debian (Gnome), my first non-windows system, and I honestly feels like there is too much 'bloatware' that I will never need...

Is there a different OS which would allow me to install my own things, instead of having to uninstall stuff just to replace them with my own prefrences?

Could be either one. Or both. Or neither. Open it up and find out if it's dirty you idiot.

This website seem safe to you guys? As soon as I opened it I got like 5 popups.
I just really wanna watch this fucking movie.

Am i doing this right?
If so, what do i do with the ISO that's generated?

Going to install Avast. Which things should I leave ticked?

yes, very stupid indeed

Leave the entire left column and uncheck everything else.

Looks like your disk is bad.

>clonezilla and easeus disk copy seem linux only.
Yes, that's why I mentioned bootable medio. They normally don't make you use the command line and are straight forward but it seems you'll need to, what does the output and log say?

pls

First column minus browser cleanup and rescue disk

What is a good lightweight browser that doesn't use too many resources in the background?

Why is System and compressed memory using so much ram?

Well I've cleaned it recently, but it's still happening.

Your GPU Fan is kill.
Clean it anyway.

>GT card at 90°C
Yup, fan is kill.

Those are some simple cards, shouldn't get that hot.

Yep, the monitor is connected to the card with an HDMI cable. Windows says my graphics card doesn't support AERO.

I think these are the latest drivers, but do I want to download both of those things?

Need a new mobo
Needs
ATX
a/c wifi

Hiren's has a lot more options than that. There;s a whole section on "MBR (Master Boot Record) Tools"

hiren.info/pages/bootcd

The first one is the full package with drivers controll pannel and tweakers. The second one is just the drivers.

It's good for system to use ram. Otherwise it goes to waste

I have a hard disk on my cd/dvd drive bay and I have split it in 2 partition, one for stuff and the other for whenever I want to install an operating system. now I want to install arch and I ask, is there a way to pull this off from windows?

I've recently installed Linux Mint, and I was wondering if there was any way to change what program opens magnet links. It currently defaults to Transmission and I want it to open qbittorrent, if that changes anything.
