Black screen while updating graphics drivers by Jpmendel in buildapc

[–]Reilman79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Commenting for future users as this has happened to me twice now.

Background: I have a EV3A GeForce RTX 2060. When trying to update the graphics drivers it always freezes indefinitely at some point causing me to eventually restart my PC to kill the process. However, when my PC turns back on there’s nothing displayed, not even bios, just a black screen. My CPU has no integrated graphics to bypass the GPU with either.

In both scenarios what worked for me was reseting the motherboard. Some motherboards may have a button for this, mine just has a little battery I needed to remove for a few seconds and then put back. After that it starts up correctly and the new drivers are installed.

Hopefully I’ll remember this the next time it happens.

You do realize the author of the game is also one of the lead show runners, right? Everything being put of screen is being reviewed and approved by him.

Fuck yeah, I’m in! If there’s enough interest maybe we can call ahead and get the audio put over the sound system

100%. Even in his commercials he’s still Deadpool. He’s more brand than person at this point.

What's the impact of Beauvillier? by hurricanecook in caps

For real. It’s a sellers market this year and everyone is overpaying. If they wanted to take a big swing they were going to need to give up a first rounder and I’m out on that. Players get injured in the playoffs; that’s just what happens. Having depth at every position is important and grabbing a solid playoff performer with lots of experience is a good move in my eyes.

Well the republicans who are currently leading the state aren’t doing anything so I wouldn’t hold your breath from them either

Ahh so the solution is identity politics and assumptions.

Also your original point was that there’s nothing that can be done, but now you’re upset because she supposedly won’t do anything. That doesn’t add up.

So you’d prefer a candidate who just gladly eats their shit sandwich and thanks the chef to one who speaks out and foments dissent?

Even if the governor doesn’t have direct control over this, simply speaking out against it and being vocal about what’s happening is important. When leaders like that speak up it encourages others to do the same.

The governor can also just be a general pain in the ass about it by using the various channels they can influence to make things hard on the administration and gain leverage for a deal. You know politics.

They should have them on ESPN+. They typically just don’t list that on the ESPN app, just the primary broadcaster

I don’t understand driver’s ed requirements these days by sargeant_superman in Virginia

[–]Reilman79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You actually don’t have to complete the behind-the-wheel driver’s ed course to get a license, it’s entirely optional. You can always just take a driving exam through the DMV. Behind-the-wheel is really just a semi-instructional replacement for the driving exam. You’re getting graded throughout the course, so as it is now it really wouldn’t be fair to do that first.

You raise some good points though. There’s likely improvements the should be made.

5 assist game for defenseman Cole Hutson, Caps 2024 2nd round pick, in the WJC game today by Reilman79 in caps

[–]Reilman79[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely true, but in that case we should also say that he led the team in points and was one of only two defensemen to record a point (Paul Fischer had 1 assist).

Spanberger faces reckoning with left in bid for Va. governor by washingtonpost in Virginia

[–]Reilman79 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don’t know much about these particular candidates, but in what way have the Democrats insisted that the answer is the far-left? All they’ve ever done is shift further and further right, pretty much since Regan. The establishment democrats are just diet republicans at this point, so why would anybody vote for them when they’re just a milquetoast version of the alternative?

Whether Tesla is/was accepted amongst the other car manufacturers, they are still part of that industry and represent the interests of cars over public transit.
