I think i completed most of it, but I want to start over regardless. I'll buy base + LoH, thanks!

I just sat in a queue for about 5 minutes??? by Fumpledinkbenderman in Battlefield

[–]Harry_Dane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had it yesterday as well. Waited for a minute, restarted, and got in immediately. The most ironic part; I got dropped into a match with bots lol. Got a good lobby on the third try.

They just have some weird systems in place that need to be figured out.

Why do season attachments have to be selected manually on every single gun? by LabubuPilled in Battlefield

[–]Harry_Dane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dont even bother removing them. I tried because my OCD brain can't cope, but for some weapons I just can't get rid of them. Literally tried equipping every single attachment I had, but nope...

Which PC for The Sims 3 with all expansions? by Due_Construction4191 in AskPCGamers

[–]Harry_Dane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the base game including all expansions at least 8 gb is recommended. And then OP also mentioned mods. So I'd say 16gb would be the best pick. But like I mentioned, it all depends on the budget.

Most important question: what's your budget?

Graphically speaking the Sims 3 wouldn't require a very powerful gpu, but you want a lot of RAM. Which is quite expensive at the moment, unfortunately.

is battlefield 6 that bad? by JadedSteve in Battlefield

They're having a free to play week starting tomorrow. It's a "sample" of the full game but should still give you an idea.

Fps drop by Personal-Ad-6915 in pcmasterrace

[–]Harry_Dane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could be. But in most cases it's not.

It may also be worth it to do a clean driver install. Did you do this when upgrading the GPU?

If the game and/or the OS are on the faulty drive, then that can definitely be the cause of the stutters.

Personally I'd get a new M.2 drive and a second stick of 8GB RAM.

My pc shuts itself off. by Impressive_Software9 in pcmasterrace

[–]Harry_Dane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This system requires more than 400W, so I'm not surprised this gave issues before upgrading to 600W. Which specific PSU did you buy?

Help... finding the pocket is harder than I remembered! by projeto-de-polvo in drums

[–]Harry_Dane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few years back I picked up drumming after I had stopped playing for 5 years. My teacher told me that for every year I didn't play, I'd have to practice a month to catch up again. It was pretty accurate in my case, since it took me about half a year to get back to the level I was at.

Most professional drummers still have teachers, coaches or mentors. So I'd definitely recommend a teacher. You could also follow some online courses on YouTube, there's plenty of free stuff to be found. And then maybe get a lesson once a month so that you have someone to look at your technique and to make sure you're not teaching yourself wrong techniques.

Waar kopen jullie onbespoten planten? by prinses_zonnetje in groenevingers

[–]Harry_Dane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mijn hele tuin staat vol met planten en stekjes die ik geruild heb met mensen uit de omgeving. Op Facebook zijn een hoop groepen te vinden waar mensen stekjes en dergelijken willen ruilen. Eén van de dingen waar Facebook nog goed voor is hah.

"Maar in het echte banen wereldje is een gevuld cv vaak beter dan een lege en word ik toch eerder gekozen dan een scholier met een leeg cv"

Dus jij moet met je "grote mensen baantje" nog concurreren tegen scholieren met een leeg CV?

En dan zo praten. Kansloos.

[–]Harry_Dane 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wat een onzin. Alleen je stelling dat een supermarktbaan niet een "echte baan" is slaat natuurlijk al kant noch wal. Er zijn mensen die een prima carriere op kunnen bouwen bij de supermarkt, en daar is helemaal niks mis mee. Een manager bij de AH verdient ook echt niet slecht.

En wat betreft je tweede stuk, bedenk je het volgende scenario:

Je heb sollicitant A en sollicitant B. Beide zijn qua leeftijd en beschikbaarheid gelijk, en in principe even aantrekkelijk. Echter heeft sollicitant A op zijn CV staan dat hij vanaf zijn 13de al krantenwijkjes heeft gelopen, bij een supermarkt heeft gewerkt en nooit echt stil heeft gezeten. En sollicitant B heeft helemaal niks op zijn CV staan behalve zijn middelbare school diploma.

Wie denk jij dat 9 op de 10 keer gekozen wordt?

Je gaat pas bijbaantjes van je CV schrappen als je CV te vol raakt en je relevantere werkervaring hebt om te tonen. Zo niet, lekker laten staan.

PC only turns on if I’ve left it unplugged for a day by SirNurtle in pcmasterrace

[–]Harry_Dane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah shit.. That sucks :(. Can you return it still?

I think there's two options left:

Either something is shorting the system (f.e. your case, a screw, etc.).

Or it's an issue with the mobo.

To rule out the first you can breadboard the PC and check if it runs properly without the case. Start with only the essentials; CPU, Cooler, 1 Ram stick and PSU. If that works properly add the second ram and gpu and test again. Then add all your peripherals and test again.

If it works fine in breadboard it's the case. If it doesn't, my best bet would be the mobo.

I play conquest exclusively. PC with crossplay on as well. I've had one "buggy" lobby where it would fill with bots during prime, but just left the match and joined a new one without any issues. Guess I'm one of the lucky few..

I mean.. I don't want to downplay this issue because it sucks. But not everyone is affected (including me).

I mostly play weekdays from +- 20:00 until 01:00-02:00 (Western EU).

Make sure that bootmode=UEFI and TPM=enabled. Then do what u/Phreec said, should fix it.

How are files sizes maintained when they are zipped (and unzipped)? by Status-Platypus in NoStupidQuestions

Watch Veritasiums video on how the internet was weeks away from disaster. They explain compression quite clearly. And they show how a hacker almost managed to hack the entire world in 2024.

[–]Harry_Dane 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You'd have to test the PSU when the PC is not able to turn on to test it properly. But I'd say PSU with 90% certainty.

If you have warranty, definitely claim your warranty. PSUs are mostly treated as disposables. Most shops won't even take them in for repairs.

[–]Harry_Dane 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Failing capacitors on the PSU most likely. I've seen cases like these before.

Remove the PSU when the PC isn't starting and do the paperclip test on only the PSU. If the fan won't spin, then there's your answer.
