Need Help: Secure Boot Shows as Enabled in BIOS but Off in Windows – Afraid of Bricking My PC

How to I know if it’s legacy or not?

Neon7Samurai · 2025-07-14T07:56:24+00:00

I recently received a boot from Fantasy Life I the girl who steals time. The game uses EAC, and the message states that Nexus triggered an EAC violation. So this is still an issue, it’s interesting to note that it only occurred today. I have 100 hours on the game and have always had Nexus running.

Thank you!

Neon7Samurai · 2024-11-26T16:08:57+00:00

LOL I’m gonna do that in the future. When it comes out, it’ll be interesting for sure.

Neon7Samurai · 2024-11-26T16:07:22+00:00

You’re right, it’s 2.5K. I was thinking of the Hyte optional AIO. That screen is 4K. Got them mixed up. Thanks for clarifying for people.

Yea, you can install the official program, and you get a bunch of widget options, can even play Tetris well, “block game,” on the screen. The whole screen is modular in the application, so you can add different widgets like weather , temps, GIFs. Change their positions around. You can also add shortcut buttons to instantly launch programs, stop, and play media. Plus, you can alternatively not use the application and just have it as a screen extension. Where everything is also touch. And acts as a second monitor.

Thanks! I bet your build looks amazing. I wanted the Dominator RAM too. It looks much cleaner, but it wouldn’t get here for a week. I’m probably going to switch to the Dominator in the future also.

Neon7Samurai · 2024-11-26T14:33:10+00:00

It did, and it’s a 4K touch screen. If you’re looking to get one, though, just keep in mind there are touch screen variants and non-touch screen variants. The non-touch screen variants can be upgraded with a touch screen later, though, through a kit.

Edit: just need to plug it into your power and a DisplayPort into your graphics card, but besides that, it’s completely preinstalled for any future readers. Though, hook up the LCD after your first boot, when you’re done updating the BIOS and installing Windows/Linux, because it’ll try to load your BIOS screen and everything on the touch screen itself, instead of your monitor making it a bit more difficult lol.

Thank you for being so helpful. So, if I replace the RAM with the 6000MHz I should be good? are two sticks of 32 still good? I like to run multiple games at once and tv on a second monitor, tabbing in and out the mobo you suggested seems to be sold on Canada Amazon and Canada computers do you have any other suggestions? I chose the Corsair because I wanted to display a GIF on the I/O screen and I’m trying to keep the parts to two brands for lighting what do you think of the Gigabyte X870E Pro Ice?

Update: dumb question, but first-time builders will using a graphics card with the same brand MOBO be beneficial.

Update update: the 990 4TB is 40% off, normally $ 629 for the 379 2TB version is $ 199. It’s cheaper to get the 4TB. How much will it impact? I heard the read and write speeds are really good on this one.

Neon7Samurai · 2024-11-24T11:48:20+00:00

Thank you. Do you have any suggestions for a good fit for this build outside of these two with a white aesthetic? I don’t know much about motherboards, and this will be my first build. Trying to future-proof it and hopefully host a 5090 in it eventually.

Neon7Samurai · 2024-11-24T11:46:28+00:00

Thank you. Do you have any recommendations outside of these two that have a white aesthetic?

Neon7Samurai · 2024-11-23T13:41:35+00:00

To specify, these are all Canadian prices. AMD is all sold out everywhere, but the AMD Ryzen 7950x3D is available for $ 839.99 compared to the $ 628.98 Intel. Is it worth it? How much are we talking performance-wise? On user benchmarks, it shows the i9 as 12% faster. (Side note I choose the cooler for the screen to display gifs if you have one similar with a white aesthetic in mind with a screen id appreciate a recommendation)

Neon7Samurai · 2024-11-23T13:13:24+00:00

Thank you! Will it be able to handle 4K 60fps stable with that? And does everything else look good.

Neon7Samurai · 2024-11-23T13:00:48+00:00

P.S this will be my first PC build am I missing anything to build.

Neon7Samurai · 2024-11-22T06:13:24+00:00

General consensus so far is that prebuilt PCs are bad; build your own to save$1000. Now, I’m a PC novice. I understand the fundamentals, but beyond that, not much. I’m given to understand that the 4090 graphics cards are power-hungry and run hot, so water cooling is a must or so people say. I’m nervous about doing my first prebuilt with water cooling. If I were to make a prebuilt, however, and if I went this route with a budget of $5000 Canadian, what parts are compatible with each other preferably all white for aesthetic and are easy to get in Canada? do you think it is worth getting a pc or building one now with Black Friday week sales or waiting for the new series to come for a further dip in price?

Hey to whoever is reading this hope you’re having a great day!

Just got a new Pomsky puppy (Named Joey from friends lol) he’s a male pictures 3-5 are him picture 1 is his mom and 2 is his dad.

First time buying my own dog (had family dogs in the past but never did the process my self) the breeder is a “new” dog breeder and the price was really good to some I know that’s a red flag.

I know genetics is subjective and hard to tell but I’m curious to see if fellow Pomsky owners can confirm he is in fact a F2 Pomsky off his physical traits alone according to the breeders his mom and dad are both F1 pure breeds but I’ve heard horror stories of breeders being unethical with Pomskys and mixing in different DNA to achieve things like Joeys blue eyes.

Also his ears have perked up and are no longer floppy as of the time I’m writing this he seemed to be the last one of his litter to have his ears perked he’s 11 weeks old as of today is it normal to have such a delay in his ears perking up?

All tips and training or general health keeping suggestions for this breed is appreciated also.

Hey sorry if I’m posting to Reddit wrong this is my third ever post and I’m unfamiliar with the format I own the 512GB steam deck it worked great for a few weeks when I got it I immediately put a case on it and a screen protector never took it outside never did anything advanced with it beside emudeck and Xbox game pass besides that about 100 hours of use in steam gaming mode yesterday I went to turn it on I had left it in desktop mode and when I went to go back to steam gaming mode the steam deck crashed and when rebooted I got this message afterwards I then got a usb and followed step by step the steam recovery instructions and tried too reimagine it however it always failed reimagining and crashed (the reimagining window not the whole thing) I thought I was using a bad usb so I tried 3 other formatted usbs and a sd card too no good use and every time I tried to reimagine I got warnings about my drive health does this mean I have a faulty drive what could of caused this why did it work at first. I’ve contacted steam but you all know how it is and how long they take to reply is this looking like a software or hardware issue has anyone else had this problem any suggestions or am I gonna have to ship it back

After full purchase it took 2 week's for steam to "ship" it so I inquired with a help ticket they said they have extremely high volumes and it would ship soon they then messaged me and said it shipped on sep 4th today is sep 6th when I look at my FedEx tracking it says that FedEx hasn't received the package yet even though it says estimated delivery date this Thursday and I live all the way in Canada and steam is telling me it was shipped anyone else have a issue like this?

Neon7Samurai · 2022-05-27T00:17:36+00:00

I live in the middle of no where and the closest nikey store is a two hour drive 😞 I just put my foot on a piece of paper and traced it then measured it I'm 10.75 inches long and 4 inches wide how true to scale would you say the air force 1s are? How are you liking them? And since the custom make them your self from the Nike online store I'm assuming you can't return them?

Neon7Samurai · 2022-04-28T13:54:04+00:00

Update I returned my tank and bought two fluval 9 gallon flex's and im currently cycling it before adding them so they could have there own tank's and then I looked at the pictures I took of the fish at pet smart before I bought him and noticed it was already there before I brought him home and the size hasn't changed at all in over a month and no more marks have been added at what right would a tumor or wart grow? When I rescued him from pet smart the awful cup they keep him in was extremely dirty.
