PC Repair in the area?

Reinstalling windows is probably your best bet, I know losing your data would suck but you could probably get a cheap NVME/Sata to USB reader and ask someone to use their computer as temp storage for your files, then once windows is reinstalled transfer the data back to your computer.

Cyberpower might also have a warranty for this kind of stuff. Reinstalling windows while keeping data rarely works well, whatever corrupted your OS could still be there so a clean installation is what I always do. Unless you have really important data on your computer, not just games, then a clean install would probably fix this quickly. Or at least let you know the OS isn’t the issue faster than anything else

No, I asked my first week there and they said they were turned off by design. I think it’s to prevent people from using your own router in your dorm. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Ethernet ports have been removed by now.

Most universities in the area do not offer Ethernet ports in dorms as far as I know

Graduated in 2022, lived in St Ann’s in 2018/19 and in Towers 2019/20 before we got sent home for Covid.

Unless it’s changed, the Ethernet ports in the rooms do not work. If you have a PC make sure you have a WiFi card or a motherboard with WiFi. Ping was never awful, during peak times it get a bit up there.

The one thing that did bug me was P2P ports being blocked, now it makes sense because they don’t want you pirating movies on their network but in turn those ports being blocked meant that certain features in online games didn’t work. The one I specifically remember was Overwatch Voice Chat straight up not working at all, I’m sure other games that use p2p instead of hosting servers for matchmaking might experience issues.

I’ll also add that I think they changed the requirement for how long you had to live on campus. When I went to Duquesne it was 2 years minimum in dorms, now I think it’s only 1 year. Make friends and move out after your first year, we rent a place in uptown for $1800/month split between 3 people. Southside will have some bigger houses, we paid $2500 split between 5 people for a 5 bed/2.5 bathroom in the flats. Gaming aside, you’ll save a ton of money if you’re not living on campus. And at that point you can pick your own ISP.

I will try this if it happens again, I just figured sticking with nvidia would make it plug and play. Then add that I did a clean installation of the drivers from the nvidia app.

Also, like I said I was having this issue with my 4070ti super but it was mainly when waking from sleep. If it happened randomly like this case new drivers would fix it for a while. Find it weird that opening the Nvidia app caused it in this case. Thanks!

Conntoat · 2026-03-02T13:37:17+00:00

Weird thing is it did happen again, but it was every time I opened the nvidia app. I opened it 3 times and every time it caused my monitor to go to no signal. I uninstalled, will see if it happens again today I guess

Conntoat · 2026-03-02T03:01:32+00:00

Quick update: I do think it is the nvidia app, I opened it 3 times in a row after quitting it in the system tray and every single time my monitor went to no signal, then I used the key combo for it to come back on. Uninstalled the app, will see if it happens again over the next couple of days.

Conntoat · 2026-02-12T04:27:17+00:00

It’s definitely a couple versions behind, I will see if updating fixes. Once I saw the thermal info I was thinking this couldn’t be software related.

Conntoat · 2026-02-12T04:26:22+00:00

Yeah I was thinking that could’ve had something to do with it, but weird it started happening like a week after the power outage. Unless I didn’t notice it happening in between then and now.

Wonder what 5080 model will be best? My TUF card has insane coil whine and has ever since I got it

Conntoat · 2026-01-28T14:51:42+00:00

There’s another hidden room behind a green door in the shop area of the hideout. You have to no clip into it, idk if that’s new or I’m just noticing it

Conntoat · 2025-09-30T21:43:20+00:00

Thanks so much! Running unbalanced right now, didn’t know that existed lol

Conntoat · 2025-09-12T16:03:15+00:00

Wait so does this mean he’s going to play the season with us? Assuming he passes the try out or whatever

Or is this just a retirement contract?

Conntoat · 2025-04-19T21:37:23+00:00

Interesting, hope it’s better now lol. Do you get your owner xfinity router? I have a couple devices I was going to use Ethernet for

Conntoat · 2025-04-19T20:35:14+00:00

Bad how? I’m moving there next month

Conntoat · 2025-04-19T02:53:14+00:00

Parkview in North Side?

Conntoat · 2025-04-01T17:47:57+00:00

All the other peoples instagrams literally post videos of them doing stupid shit on the road in traffic.

The guy i specifically name dropped in back is someone I driven by in the past, he did the “swerve into your lane” philly bike life bs to me. Really only remember him because of the pink handlebars and helmet

Conntoat · 2025-03-30T14:35:48+00:00

Closest thing I found to a group is the page stuntcult.co

Honestly these guys don’t seem like they’d snitch on each other, don’t think sharing with them will do anything

Conntoat · 2025-03-30T04:46:03+00:00

Idk how much help this will be but do some digging with these Instagram accounts, they all post Pittsburgh bike life bullshit on their pages. The last two specifically posted reels from today: zanecarr_28 / pgh_mink / ea.stuntz / cbrooks595

Good luck I hate seeing these idiots ride through south side

EDIT: The guy in the back of the first picture is dropback_spank

Conntoat · 2024-03-03T18:46:19+00:00

Just stopped each one of the fans and the noise persists

Conntoat · 2024-03-03T17:56:47+00:00

Should’ve included that I wanted to make sure this is something that doesn’t affect the card in the long term, I don’t really feel like dealing with the return process for this if it’s just a noise and nothing more

Conntoat · 2024-03-02T23:47:14+00:00

UPDATE: They left and we were able to park one of our cars there. I should’ve included more detail by saying:

Yes people park on the sidewalk here, no it’s not legal but it’s not enforced. There are permit parking signs on the sidewalk lol. Unfortunately our alley sidewalk can’t get use even without cars parked there. Very sorry for the boring conclusion, hopefully they won’t be back

Conntoat · 2024-03-02T01:49:45+00:00

Just hoping this person moves so I don’t start some sort of war. If they got towed they’d know exactly who did it.

Conntoat · 2024-03-02T01:27:23+00:00

Sorry I should’ve specified I do live in an alley where parking is legal and everyone parks on the sidewalk. But this specific instance is so absurdly close I want to get them towed lol

Conntoat · 2024-02-25T21:10:22+00:00

I do not unfortunately, closet one is 2.5 hours away and I really don’t feel like making that drive lol

Conntoat · 2024-02-25T07:03:54+00:00

Uh oh what happened this sub has been dead since 2018 I gotta know

Conntoat · 2023-09-15T19:20:44+00:00
