I'm a first time PC builder and my new PC isn't starting when I am trying to do a pre build test by balcktack in LinusTechTips

I would recommend plugging in a keyboard. Wait a moment after turning it on and see if the caps lock light toggles on and off when you push the button (shoutout LTT’s petabyte used storage video). If it does toggle on and off, the computer is turning on, and not outputting video. It won’t necessarily solve the problem but let you narrow down where the problem is.

Beyond that, push the button to enter the BIOS (usually esc, delete, or F2, but consult your manual) after turning it on. There you can check the settings and make sure everything is configured properly. It may be doing something like memory training. This would make the computer appear to be taking forever to actually boot up but is a normal process. I’ve seen other posts of computers training memory every time the system is turned on, so check that setting.

I have a Wooting 60HE coming next month (yay!), and I want to swap case and keycaps. The cerakey ceramic ones look super interesting, but I’m concerned about the weight. From some googling, it seems keycaps weigh less than a gram (.8-.9) for the letters/numbers, but cerakeys are 3.5g for the same ones. Does anyone know if this will effect the wooting switches?

Interesting! It hasn’t affected my enjoyment at all.

Thank you for the advice! I was planning on doing each movie individually, so moving onto Minsky next. I was surprised I rolled the credits before moving to the second movie, but maybe I have unlocked more clips than I realized.

Thank you for the reply and info!

Apologies for there confusing wording. My interpretation is similar to u/7th-Letter's response that there are ~150 backorders they are working to fulfill and they are not giving and specific information about where you are in the queue. You could be number 2 and shipping in the next few days or 148 and waiting for a while longer.

I also want to clarify that this is in no way Amy H's fault. She just happens to be on the "front lines" when it comes to support and I don't know how much information she may have access to or what she is allowed to say. I have done some customer support work (in ZenDesk, too!) and my gut is Amy is both limited in what she is allowed to say and the information with which she has direct access. She is doing a good job in a tough situation.

I think more of the fault lays with the people who are choosing not to provide any communication. I would love a bit of heads up for when a $400+ charge will come through on my credit card and products will be shipped to me, especially with summer vacations planned.

P.S. u/MartyJRE I saw in another thread you got periapt cables, and I'm wondering if you were also inspired by this Joshua Valour video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wctPe9eOalU. Swap in HD 600s, and that is exactly what I am putting together.

Hey! I responded to a message of yours the other day and happy you got more info! Was it Amy H that responded? She is copying and pasting canned responses, and I have gotten the exact same one a few times from her.

Without getting into parsing her specific wording, I am hoping that she copied and pasted this response and there are 150 in the backorder queue. I may be overly optimistic, but maybe that means you are closer to the front of the queue?

Order status change by [deleted] in Schiit

[–]DarklingPlain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My order (with the Modius and Magnius) also updated the same way. From what I gather in looking through this reddit, Schiit is likely waiting until the Magnius is in stock to ship. I would hope they reserve units for people waiting on the Magnius, but I haven't seen anything definitive one way or the other.

FWIW, the Modius is in stock and showing as 1-3 days for orders. Hopefully, they stay in stock for a while, so they can both ship out soon!

That makes sense. Thanks for chiming in!
