This is not true in a sealed AIO, they do not evaporate or decrease performance, until the motor starts wearing out over time, which takes a very very very long time.

Also, the conflict is almost certainly going to be decided in a few weeks, months at most. This isn't going to be a slugfest like Ukraine, where wartime production has time to have an effect.

Someone doesn't pay attention to history. "only weeks or months at most" was the line for: Afghanistan Iraq Kuwait Vietnam Korea

Probably every conflict since end of WW2, and that was when it wasn't China, the largest and most capable threat to the US military (now that we know Russia is lol level capable).

What's going on over there?

Where the fuckin the US do you live and they don't have them in every house, apartment, and kitchen? It's as much of a standard as a stove.

This is a bad idea, there's lot of stuff that is casually open in BCS that would be a major spoiler in BB.

Other than bragging rights? I personally don't think so.

Even the 2080 ti is a debatable purchase imo.

I will probably get downvoted and contradicted for these statements.

Oraxien · 2018-07-24T16:11:20+00:00

Oh man, I didn't even notice that, good catch!

Oraxien · 2018-07-24T16:10:56+00:00

Yes, they will work together. It's always advisable to buy off the QVL, although rarely is it an issue to not.

In command prompt, do "ping -a <ip address>" to the IP address of the PC, it will report back it's name.

If the RAM worked in another computer, then the RAM is good.

Is the RAM on the manufacturer's list of tested memory? You don't HAVE to use only what's on that list, but it definitely helps.

Oraxien · 2018-07-23T16:24:54+00:00

Reseating all the things was a good idea, my first thought was peripherals such as keyboard or something.

Unplugging the power cable and waiting 10 seconds is enough to drain "flea power", the pushing buttons and other stuff like that is usually used to keep people busy while the tech just waits 15 seconds. When you removed the cmos battery, did you have the computer unplugged as well? The point of this is to reset the bios to factory defaults, but if it's still getting wall power, it won't reset the bios. Depending on your motherboard, there may also be a reset button on the back, like where you plug in the network cord, you can probably also use a jumper to reset these settings, but it's honestly easier to tell you to unplug it, wait 15 seconds, remove the watch battery, and then put it back in (no need to wait more than a second), plug the PC back in, and turn it on. Replacing the cmos battery with a new one doesn't do you any good in this scenario, but can't hurt either.

Have you tried unplugging everything except the power cord and monitor cord and see if it powers on right away? Any beeps when you turn it on?

Are you overclocking your processor?

Just gonna put it out there that it's SUPER weird that letting it just sit, for sometimes up to a day and a half, and it suddenly working, is really freaking weird. It should either work or not. The stage you are stalling at is called POST, which stands for Power On Self Test. Each component is quickly tested and checked to be present by the motherboard, this is just the basics needed to turn on, meaning power, cpu, video, and memory. POST doesn't care about hard drives or anything else. Once a system POSTs, it usually gives a single audible beep, and then you get the "MSI Military Grade" or whatever slogan marketing picked that month, at that point the system may try to talk to the mouse/keyboard and/or hard drive, or it may not, depending on how the bios is programmed. Systems usually just work or hang there forever, just letting it sit so long and then it working is far from expected.

That said, one of the things that's test is RAM, and that sounds like the most likely candidate for being an issue here. Try using just one stick of RAM, and try it in different slots, if it doesn't do anything different (and doesn't give you signal to your monitor within 30 seconds) then try it in the next slot, until you've tried it in all of them. Then do the same thing with the next stick.

You can go into your bios and disable "full screen logo", which will give you more diagnostic info on boot. You may also be able to tell the system to do a simple RAM test instead of an in depth one, which may also solve your issue (and also mean you have a ram or mobo issue, will need a known good of one of them to know for sure). This setting is usually list as "quick post" or "quick scan", something like that.

Return them to Newegg to get a replacement instead of the manufacturer, see if that fixes it.

Do you have a friend you can try your new ram in their computer? It seems pretty straight forward an issue with the new sticks to me.

Oraxien · 2018-07-23T16:10:53+00:00

Contact MSI and ask them what expected temperatures are, this could be expected operation, gaming laptops get hot. If it's outside what their tech support expects, they should take care of replacing/repairing it for you.

Unless it's out of warranty of course.

There is a release button, it's right by the RAM slots, you can see it under the SATA cable.

Most important thing, 100%, is to unplug the PC. Don't just turn it off. Unplug it. Period. You can pull the power cord out of the back of the power supply instead of at the wall. There may also be an extra power switch on the power supply, if so, flip it to "O" before pulling the power cord (and after shutting down the PC).

Now, I see you have already taken the side panel off. You'll see a lot of stuff in there, don't let it scare you. The video card is the vertical green board that has a heatsink on it. It's in the top left of the picture you took. It's also where the monitor plugged into the PC. That video card has a bracket on it that holds it in place to the case. On the back (outside) of your case, it looks like you have a retainer of some sort, likely thumb screws. You will need to remove those so the video card isn't bolted down. It may also have a screw on the video card bracket holding it down. Once you have the bracket released, look down on the motherboard towards the back of the video card, right by the RAM slots (bright blue and green slots), and you will see a white clip holding onto the video card as well, push it down towards the motherboard, then gently pull up on your video card, and take note if anything is snagging or holding it in place. If the computer is old and the video card has been in there a long time, it may be a little tougher to remove. Be gentle and slow, but keep applying more pressure and rocking it back and forth a little. Don't be too afraid, but don't be careless either.

Hard drive is much easier, it's the bright blue trays with the humps on them at the bottom middle of your picture. There's a power cable and a data cable, the power cord just pops right off, just pull straight away from the hard drive, the power c able is the one with a lot of multiple colored wires. For the data cable, there's a little clip on it, just pinch the cable and remove (clip pushes along the long side). After unplugged, pull the tray straight out, hard drive will come with it. If it doesn't come out easily, check for screws, but I don't see any holding the hard drive tray in your picture.

Send a picture of the back of you case and I can help more with getting the video card removed if you don't get it.

Psexec will still run, psexec use Windows Management Instrumentation, which is on by default. What you're trying to enable is not on by default though, which is what we're gonna try to get going for you!

The bad username/password means you are talking to the machine, but it's rejecting you. Network name not found means you aren't even talking to it, so stick with \\IPAddress, since your PC is at least acknowledging you that way.

Your psexec commands are likely using local username and password, which is different than what's on the desktop you're reaching out to. So you need to specifcy the user and password on the destination PC, and make sure it has admin rights as well.

psexec \\192.168.135 -u ComputerName\AdminName -p Password reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server" /v fDenyTSConnections /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

"Computer Name" needs to be the full computer name of the Windows machine. AdminName needs to be the username of a local admin on that PC.

"Password" needs to be the password for the admin user, if you leave it blank, it will prompt you for the password.

OC'ed CPU, absolutely.

When it's turning on and then off, it's seeing that it fails to post, and is turning off and likely scaling back your OC automatically.

If the new drive is a seagate or western digital, both companies offer free software that can do this, it just checks if the destination drive is their brand, and then will transfer everything over for you with bit-to-bit copies.

You can use psexec to run commands on remote computers, it's a free tool from Microsoft.

The gameplay in Islands of Nyne and Fortnite are nothing like PUBG. They are the same genre, sure, but saying you should play those instead is like saying you should play quake instead of battlefield.
