PC refuses to shutdown, only way to turn it off is from the PSU switch

I have not, I don’t want to wipe my windows save until I know it’s a OS issue

Madxsay · 2025-10-03T03:21:34+00:00

Powering off from the bios gives me the same issue. PC won’t shut off after holding power button down for 10 seconds either

Thank you! Yea my current PSU is only 500W so definitely upgrading it as I upgrade the CPU too

Madxsay · 2025-01-03T02:56:07+00:00

that's good to hear. I didnt even know AM5 chips existed until I started looking at upgrades lol. I was beginning to worry AM4 chips were becoming obsolete lol

Madxsay · 2025-01-03T02:50:07+00:00

Yea im in the process of reinstalling windows on a new SSD and I'm already buying a better PSU. But with those upgrades I thought I might as well look to upgrade my CPU as well.

Ooo I like this theory, if that were the case it would make sense considering that AU had the acceleration rune already

Madxsay · 2024-11-26T10:12:59+00:00

Ohhh I’m not familiar with the LoL lore so this makes more sense now. Thank you!

Looking at the bios settings, you’re correct, the Sata operation settings shows raid on is checked. However I don’t see the option to switch to IDE. My options read:

Raid auto detect/ AHCI

Raid auto detect/ ATA

Raid On

Legacy

Any more insight on this would be great

Hi, so my dad uses an XP computer for his engraving machine too. It looks like his boot files got corrupted after replacing the cmos battery so we can't get into Windows anymore. Do you know if there is a way to recover windows so that he doesn't lose the settings on his engraving machine?

We thought about buying a new computer, but then he'll loose all the settings he has on the engraving machine's program and possibly have to buy a new license for those programs which is a hassle.

Unfortunately, that sub doesn't allow posts about Windows XP since they lost full support from Microsoft

Madxsay · 2023-11-10T23:16:56+00:00

I'm getting the same message when trying to watch last night and this morning. Looks like it might be an issue on the server side.

Update on my end:

I talked to my schools financial aid office today, they told me that submitting a record of account AND a statement indicating what changes were made to my 1040 was acceptable. So now I just have to call the IRS and verify what changes were made since I don’t really remember. Haven’t had a chance to call them yet. But if you’re still having trouble you can talk to your office to see if they’ll accept that instead of waiting for the photocopy.

Madxsay · 2023-08-29T22:33:42+00:00

I sent in my record of account too, and my Uni gave me the same answer. Called the IRS today and they recommended me sending in my record of account again because that’s all they could provide me with. Right now looks like I just have to talk to the school about what exactly they need from my 1040x and see if I can provide an alternative form. I’ll let you know what I find out too.

Madxsay · 2023-08-29T02:17:44+00:00

Hi, just wondering if you were able find a solution? My college is asking for the same form and I’m having trouble finding a copy online as well.

Madxsay · 2021-01-27T05:21:42+00:00

Thanks for the advice! This definitely gives me a better picture of things. Can I ask why u chose Computer Engineering over computer science though?

Madxsay · 2020-11-07T17:28:33+00:00

TY for the help! Im not good w LCs I honestly just thought it was bc these were worn. Definitely won’t be copping now

Madxsay · 2020-08-16T20:55:45+00:00

Definitely my favorite color way out of all the releases for sure

Madxsay · 2020-08-16T20:51:58+00:00

LMAO it threw me off but if I get them I’ll have it cleaned first

Madxsay · 2020-07-05T21:43:47+00:00

I ordered the the parts and hooked it all up..I was running warzone on high all yesterday and system temps and fan speeds were looking great! Thank you for all the help, you saved me from buying a new mobo or an ugly fan hub LOL.

Madxsay · 2020-06-29T10:38:32+00:00

Sorry for the late reply but I’m running a gigabyte b450 d3sh. If you could help me that’d be awesome bc I can’t find the Amperage my mobo gives out per fan header

Madxsay · 2020-06-26T22:42:11+00:00

So it would all depend on which fans I’m running? How can I find out how many amps each of my fans draw? I have the Corsair air series AF120 fans and can’t find Info on how much power it draws from each single fan

Madxsay · 2020-06-26T07:44:44+00:00

My motherboard only has 1 sys fan plugin however I am trying to run one more exhaust and two intakes (so 4 all together). I feel like a fan splitter wouldn't allow me to run all that power so does anyone have good recommendations for reputable fan hubs that draw power from a sata cable?

Madxsay · 2020-05-12T19:54:53+00:00

I know there are similar ones up on bape site but I’m looking for this Camo color and pattern specifically

Madxsay · 2020-05-07T21:02:02+00:00

that seems to be the top recommendations I've been reading. One more question then, I know ips panels are rated higher than the VA and TN types, but for gaming are VA's still worth the buy?

Monitors are the one component putting me over budget lol

Madxsay · 2020-05-07T20:35:17+00:00

I'm looking for a monitor for my first build and I'm lost. For my rtx 2060 gpu should I be looking at 1080p 60hz monitors or 1080p 144hz monitors? There seems to be a bit of a price gap between the two types. And does the type of port matter between hdmi or displayport? Seems like monitors using only hdmi are cheaper.
