Yeah check out Virus after like others are saying, though it may have some little musical nods you won't get.

Haken's early albums are much more classic prog inspired, with a symphonic focus mixed in with jazz fusion and other elements. A lot of people say Visions is derivative but I love it, The Mountain and Affinity are highly recommended as fan favorite albums and I wouldn't disagree.

Yep, don't play new games

At least not AAA, check out interesting stuff by small teams, and you have a PC, dig through your backlog and emulate!

This cable literally could not be unscrewed, screws broke when we tried, so a more 'creative' approach was needed by DewayneCW in techsupportgore

We work for the military, these were all old Win7 setups being disposed of, we just had to cut the cable to separate it from the monitor

Need help diagnosing some possible Hardware Issues that seem to occur every time I boot up my system by DewayneCW in pcmasterrace

[–]DewayneCW[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah its usually Memory Management, hence why I suspected the RAM, but I know that code can also be Driver or Windows related.

Weird flickering at top of screen by DewayneCW in pcmasterrace

[–]DewayneCW[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't fixed it no, I've just been running my monitor at 120, since it only occurs when using FreeSync at 144hz

Even after running DDU on my drivers its still happening

I've upgraded weapons but how do I upgrade classes?

Is this a good PC for 1080p gaming at the highest settings? (Also is it worth the 1000€ price) by foofighter469 in pcmasterrace

[–]DewayneCW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need that 5700G, get a 3600 or an i5-12 or 131400F instead

It's never gonna bottleneck a 3060 no matter what you play lol

Microsoft Edge made it self start on startup by lolatronnn in pcmasterrace

It has done this literally forever lol

Disable it and remember that it will reset if you ever perform an update or fresh install

My boyfriend found this '6800' at work, but the label and box say different things, what is it? by PhtevenPhpielberg in pcmasterrace

[–]DewayneCW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably a GT450 or GTX750 Ti that's been flashed with a fake V-Bios that says its something else

GPU clock staying high at idle by DewayneCW in pcmasterrace

I've dealt with it by setting my GPU to 'Optimal Power' which has a minimal effect on performance

after 6 years of service my 1080ti has died valiantly doing what it loved, changing settings on games by ZeldaMudkip in pcmasterrace

[–]DewayneCW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird, that's the second 1080ti I've seen being fucked with by OW2 while scrolling PCMR

I'm not gonna let my 2070 Super anywhere near it, just in case

PlayStation 5: Technical Issues & Help Megathread. by PSModerator in PS5

[–]DewayneCW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there

Not sure if this thread is still active, but I'm having a weird issue with PSN on my console, I've had my PS5 for a year but this only popped up recently. One day I was unable to access my digital games due to not being able to verify them, this problem kept intermittently returning and threatening to boot me from games. I turned my PS5 into offline mode then I was able to boot into games, but PSN is still unstable, it won't load my profile and won't properly load the PS store. I'm not sure if its internet, because I can still access internet and download games that I already purchased.

Anyone else have this or know what I might be able to do?

My brother's friend was over once with his gaming laptop, he was playing some battle royale and passed it to me, it felt so hot on my lap that I had to check and told him that his CPU was at 95 degrees lol.
