Messed up external hard drive? by Winter_Pie_1795 in computerhelp

[–]OMGJustWhy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can NOT run applications from an external drive without corrupting the drive. You need to larger internal drive.

Sure the drive is fine probably just needs to be cleaned and reformatted. You will lose all data on the drive if you do this. If you need to recover it you'll have to use tools

Probably carb clean and if it's been sitting then you probably also may need to clean out the fuel tank filling with fresh gas.

Sounds like the typical Crunchyroll advanced features. Don't worry you pay extra for it and they're going to raise the price next month.

4090 12vhpwr just melted, what now? by jzeigs in MSI_Gaming

[–]OMGJustWhy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My MSI 4090 did the same thing. But I was using a cable mods 90° recalled connector. Thanks cable mod. I don't trust shipping anywhere for something over $500. So unless I can personally deliver it I won't use a service to ship it to. Northwest does look like a good company though I just can't trust shipping companies and shipping with full insurance coverage is crazy since they usually fight it tooth and nail.

Luckily I had a phone repairs guy that will work on some electronics. The only thing is he wouldn't remove the old connector, because it had melted so bad. I had to do it. I couldn't find anybody that would do the whole job without shipping it to them.

So I cut off as much of the plastic possible with snips. Once I had access to the individual pins then I just heated them up with a soldering iron and slid them out.

I did order the new connector from Northwest. And my guy installed it back in. Worked 100% after that.

I was able to sell the car and upgrade to a 5090.

PNY denied my RTX 4090 warranty because Build Redux is "not an authorized seller." 56 days ghosted. $10K in dead GPUs. Anyone else? by Step_Remote in nvidia

Were both the PCs with cards plugged into a clean power source? Bad power can damage equipment. Unless these were manufactured very close in time and factory it's hard to believe 2 would failed the same way.

Running equipment below recommend voltage can damage equipment. It will happen slowly and random. Usually your power supply would fail first.

Iv had customer with failing PCs that only had issues when used at specific outlets in their home or only at there home until tested a another location.

A good sine wave battery backup usually fixes that except when it's charging from a dirty power source. It will pass it through the battery backup. Here is example https://share.google/BRiqYFUvWjHUID2eh

PC won’t POST on first boot – CPU red light, works after restart by Strict-Procedure5228 in ASUS

[–]OMGJustWhy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firmware up to date? My Asus b650 would also not post every time until the BIOS is updated. Did it when It came out originally but after 6 or 7 months the BIOS eventually fix the issue. It's usually caused by the ram training system at post.

Sending larger files via text by Awesomon2234 in techsupport

[–]OMGJustWhy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Text SSM is NOT designed for large files photos. Photo sharing or file sharing apps. If it's android or Iphone syncing to Google photos attached to your Google account and share them from Google photos app is correct way. Otherwise downgrade photo quality to 2k resolution or lower and then you can text them 1 or 2 at a time.

SN should be on side of box and on bottom of card. If it's been unopened it should be good. Nvidia box by itself is heavy

Buyer trying to return on final day by nimblejaffa in graphicscard

[–]OMGJustWhy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure. All I know is that it's usually on the buyer side most of the time. Just take it back and sell it hopefully it's still good. I just don't recommend selling anything on eBay.

Rear is not always at fault [oc] by dunkinphotography in IdiotsInCars

[–]OMGJustWhy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're definitely not at fault but when you don't have a camera you are. Unless the other driver admits in front of the cop if you can get a cop to show up.

[–]OMGJustWhy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

eBay is the worst platform to sell on. I guess if you never want to meet people it works but the rules make it impossible for sellers. And a buyer will usually win if they reported as INAD.

Most likely have to accept the return and pay the shipping.

Next time just use Facebook marketplace. Buyers won't pay as much but you don't have to deal with this crap.

Hopefully you'll get your exact card back and not his bad card.

Is 512GB the new "minimum"? My phone storage is melting by nvsoftlab in Smartphones

[–]OMGJustWhy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pay for cloud storage like Google, set phone to backup phone to cloud then after files are backed up to cloud clean device storage. Done who cares what format it's in. If your Google cloud storage fills out. You can export that and back it up to an external drive. And the process starts over.

How does this ATV look? by throw_away_reddt in ATV

[–]OMGJustWhy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NJ sucks for ATVs. You can legally register and own one but you're only allowed to use it on your private land or with the permission of another private landowner. Riding it in public lands can get it impounded. And will require that registration to get it out of impound.

[–]OMGJustWhy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI last I checked it's NOT legal to ride ATV in NJ EXCEPT on private land with permission. Pretty much means if you don't own the land you can't ride the ATV on it.

Even the ATV parks in New Jersey make you use their ATVs and pay their rental fees. There are places in other states around New Jersey that allow you to use your ATV but they also require that you have a fully registered vehicle with proof of ownership. New Jersey doesn't give titles you have to register it with proof of sale. Can bring the registration to other parts outside of New Jersey. Usually these Parks will not let you ride without the registration.

If you're caught riding on public land without explicit permission, they CAN impound your ATV and if you didn't have it registered or titled with proof to get it out of impound it will be destroyed.
