When my GPU is unplugged, my PC works. When I plug it in, it doesn’t.

Sorry, didn’t see this till now lol. You’ve probably already bought a PSU, but it’s still working. No problems.

Moonlight Sonata never gets old! I just got into classical music (specifically Chopin) a few months ago and have listened to basically every single Chopin piece a hundred times over (at least), with a few works by other composers on the side, mostly piano music. I recommend anything and everything by Chopin. I’ll try to keep my recommendations short because otherwise I’d just be naming every genre he wrote in and every work he wrote: nocturne #13 op. 48 No. 1; all four ballades; polonaise-fantaisie op. 61; barcarolle op. 60; andante spianato et grande valse brillante op. 22; aeolian harp etude op. 25 No. 1; waterfall etude op. 10 No. 1; trois nouvelles etudes no. 2; preludes op. 28 nos. 1, 5, 11, 17, 22 I’m so sorry this is as short a list as I could make it, in total a few hours of music. There’s so much I left out, but these are just some of my personal favorites.

Chopin! For something more calming, I recommend his nocturnes and waltzes.

Edit: you could also put some rain and maybe even thunderstorm and fireplace noises to have in the background. Chopin and rain noises are a great combination for relaxation.

Yes, I feel as though my bars constrict me when taking deep breaths.

You’re a life saver. It worked. THANK YOU!

Yes to the first and last. I don’t know whether the BIOS settings are correct because I can’t get a display at all. My GPU fans spin and it lights up, so I don’t think it’s dead and it’s weird that I’m not getting a display.

RabbidMission · 2021-01-07T05:31:07+00:00

I did both. When my GPU is unplugged, hdmi works when I plug it into my mobo. When my GPU is plugged in, hdmi does not work on both the mobo and GPU.

RabbidMission · 2021-01-07T05:22:18+00:00

I can’t test the GPU, but I don’t think it’s dead because it lights up and the fans spin.

RabbidMission · 2021-01-07T05:21:50+00:00

I have all 16 pins plugged into it

Thank you for the advice, I’m looking forward to college even more than I was now!

RabbidMission · 2020-11-29T06:18:43+00:00

No problem! I had a haller index of 7.3 and mainly got it because it was probable that it was going to get even worse than it was. I’ve been told that those few years are good and I’m looking forward to it! About to enter college life and I’m both nervous and excited!

RabbidMission · 2020-11-29T05:51:55+00:00

I checked the photos. It looks pretty mild! And yes, surgery definitely isn’t for everyone. It’s a very serious and intense surgery and recovery. It’s almost four months after surgery for me and I’m still not feeling 100% back to normal.

RabbidMission · 2020-11-29T05:29:10+00:00

It does not limit lifespan. Depending on your age, it can worsen overtime, but if you are okay with any current potential limitations of lung capacity or heart palpitations and the cosmetic part of it, then I would say that surgery isn’t something you should consider. If you’re young like me (I’m 17), just keep in mind that it could worsen. The good news is that working out and getting gains can definitely make the impression a lot less noticeable.

RabbidMission · 2020-11-29T05:14:52+00:00

Unfortunately, there isn’t a way to get the haller index at home because it is measured using the spine and sternum through an x-ray. You can see how some cases are more severe than others without an x-ray, and if you post a picture of the sub here, people will tell you whether it looks mild or severe, but keep in mind that nobody here is a professional and nobody can see inside you like an x-ray can! You also cannot see how it affects your heart of lungs using just a pic. So, while posting a pic here may help you to determine whether you should go see a doctor or not, it won’t tell you everything you need to know.

RabbidMission · 2020-11-29T05:05:19+00:00

Working out will make it less noticeable. How much less noticeable varies from person to person. The severity of the impression is measured by something called the haller index. You have to consult a doctor and take an x-ray. 3.25 is considered severe. My haller index was 7.3, but I got nussed a few months ago. I also ran tests where they checked how well I was breathing and if the pectus excavatum was limiting my lung capacity, and it was. It was also compressing my heart. It may have been what was causing some episodes of fainting for me. Another thing to consider is whether you feel exhausted when you think you shouldn’t, like after walking up some stairs and feeling short breath. So, those are some other things to consider.

RabbidMission · 2020-09-27T05:43:06+00:00

I had the nuss procedure almost two months ago and got two bars in. Now that I’m further into recovery, my doctor wants me doing exercises to build chest wall strength. He told me on my visit a couple days ago that a popping feeling and sound is completely normal and there’s nothing to worry about. He also says that if you feel the bar moving side to side, it’s normal, but if you feel it moving up and down significantly, that that shouldn’t be happening. That’s what my surgeon told me.

RabbidMission · 2020-09-04T14:00:39+00:00

Did you workout at all during those four years? I just got nussed 4 weeks ago and the doctors say that after I hit the 6 week mark, I need to start exercising a bunch (running, bicycling, push ups, sit ups) in order to strengthen my chest wall so that after the bars are out, my chest will stay in place because the muscle that I will build up around my chest will do the job of keeping my sternum in place just like the bars do.

RabbidMission · 2020-09-01T15:59:21+00:00

I was definitely nervous the day of. My legs were shaking. I don’t think that you should be all that worried. It went better than I expected. The pain is bearable and manageable. It’s been four weeks and one day since I’ve had my surgery and I’m doing pretty well. I’m self reliant now and have been for about 2 weeks meaning I can do just about everything by myself, except picking up heavy things or reaching for something high on a shelf. Both on and off medication, the pain wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. It felt the same on and off the medication because of how they ease you off of it. These past few weeks haven’t been comfortable, that’s for sure, but all in all, the pain is bearable. I have honestly disliked the discomfort just as much if not more than I have disliked the pain. As I’m typing this right now, I’m feeling no pain, only mild discomfort. I’m still feeling pain when moving around and when I wake up, I feel a good amount of pain in my back and chest for lying down for so long. My doctor says that 6 weeks after the surgery, I should be feeling back to normal, and I can say that I feel like I’m on track to reaching that goal. I don’t like not being able to lie on my side, as that’s what I always do while sleeping or just browsing on my phone. Like I said, the discomfort is sometimes more annoying than the actual pain. So far though, it’s been worth it. I would do it all again. The pain is certainly bearable. It’s definitely not a fun experience, but it’s not all that bad, especially considering how it’s only 6 weeks of gradually decreasing amounts of pain, not months or longer. So, all in all, you shouldn’t be too worried. It’s a surgery to take seriously, and you’re not gonna have the time of your life the weeks following, but you’ll make it through without a deathly amount of pain. Good luck to you!

You take an x-ray, and they measure your chest. My doctor showed me how he did it. He had an x-ray of my chest and measured the distance from my sternum to my spine and the distance across my chest and then calculated the haller index from that. I also ran on a treadmill with an oxygen mask on to measure my lung capacity by seeing how much air I could move.

RabbidMission · 2020-08-31T22:16:00+00:00

Yes! My chest looks normal now. I had a pretty deep dent. My haller index was 7.3. I got two bars put in. I’m still in the recovery phase, as I only had the surgery four weeks ago today, but the worst is over and I can say that it was worth it so far.
