I call this weather fools spring

It's 6 degrees celcius where I am. I'm about to go for a bike ride. It was cold for a bit but my computer is now a space heater since upgrading to the R5 5600. I swear AMD needs to rethink bundling that CPU with the Wraith stealth cooler and give us either the prism or spire instead.

I just finished my upgrade saga and I got to say I'm actually surprised my computer still works. I got my r5 5600 today and had way too much trouble with the cooler install. I slipped and stabbed my motherboard a few times but no damage. So props to ASROCK for making a motherboard that can...

I use a lot of portable apps consolidated in a folder for just about all my needs. At least for work. For all intents and purposes my external HDD is my work computer.

Good news guys! I finally ordered a new graphics card. I hope going from a GTX 950 to an RX 6600 is worth it. Got some money from my extended family over chistmas to spend so I thought I'd go for it along with a few other upgrades. I already bought a 32GB DDR4 3200 Kit which was a surprising...

Currently I have a Ryzen 5 1400 on an ASROCK AB350 PRO4 motherboard and I'm thinking of upgrading to the Ryzen 7 5700G. I've heard this is possible with a few bios updates but I have some concerns first of which the instructions say to upgrade to the 7.0 bridge bios and then to 7.40 and then...

I still can't even drive because of my vision and it's not correctable and yet I don't qualify for any form of disability assistance. It's mind boggling how much people take for granted the ability to drive.

Probably over middle age because news media predicts that the millenials will all die young from stress, anxiety, being broke and thus being too broke to go to a doctor. (͠≖ ͜ʖ͠≖)

Yeah I'm staying XD It's weird seeing people now mostly with 2014+ join dates and here I am all 2005 lol. I'm an ol fart here now. Actually no 2004 because my first account got banned lol

holy crap this forum is still alive!! I remembered this place while using my old email to recover access to my regular email and decided to go on a nostalgia trip. I totally forgot about this place. I'm glad reddit hasn't completely absorbed the members of all of the old forums I spent my...

I cloned the whole drive all partitions

I'm not sure the file system is corrupt. I made several attempted images all of which do this. As well as a hard drive clone to an SSD using different cloning software and I still got the NTFS FILE SYSTEM bsod. Using the same methods on systems running 1809 I don't get the bsod

I use active@ disk image to image computers I have at work which worked fine in 1809 and below but now I have made a new image with 1903 and every imaged computer gets an NTFS FILE SYSTEM BSOD. All settings are the same as they were in previous versions when it comes to creating the disk image...

wow the price sure shoots up for the extra speed. Might look into the Seagate IronWolf one. It says that's a NAS drive and I intend to use it in my desktop. Is that going to give me any issues?

I would but so far I am not seeing too many 7200rpm hard drives over 2TB. On amazon as soon as I select the 4TB option the models available are 5400-5900 RPM. Do you have any suggestions?
