Potentially the longest thread in history...

I am downloading the windows 10 2004 ISO right now because it released last night! I may just test it in a VM first though just in case it is really horrible. Internet is super slow so I have an hour or so left until finished. Will keep you posted on how bad it is.

DON"T UPDATE TO WIN10 2004 UNTIL YOU READ THIS

Just got this in my inbox from ITPro, don't update your computer to windows 10 2004 until you read this!

Been here a long time and know most of the regulars. There was about a year or almost a year I ghosted an online presence for mental reasons but I came back.

Same - now life is just getting in the way so I don't have as much time to dedicate.

Life, kids, wife... you have no time open at all.

I'm pretty much the same way. Luckily for me the quarantine happened so I'm getting a small break from constantly being on the go.

 

[TechnoChicken]

for me right now its the opposite for some reason

Grrrr. I am all kinds of pissed right now.

I received the replacement RAM for the defective set that I had received for my wife's computer, Patriot Viper Blackout Edition 2x4GB 3200MHz. So when I pulled my RAM out of her rig and put the new set in Windows shat the bed and could not start, saying it needed to go through startup repair. I tried several times but it just wouldn't or couldn't. So I decided to rerun Memtest.

Initially the test crashed before it got into the second one. Crashed as in locked up and could not continue. So I decided to run the tests individually for each core. Each core was almost nothing but continuous errors. So I am thinking, Great, the CPU is FUBAR. But I decided to put the XPG Spectrix back into her computer and rerun Memtest.

Her computer is finishing up the second pass out of four and not a single error. So this brand new set of RAM, the second one, is bad as well. Just processed the return of this set and ordered a set of Crucial.

rough.

Did you make sure it was actually corsiar RAM? Not some cheap knockoff?

Yes, it is a cheap knock of Corsair. It's called Crucial.



I went with Crucial as it was the only one listed as supported on the mobo's support page for her processor (Picasso).
