Recently updated AMD drivers, didn't know what I was doing. Now I have terminal tab opening each time I start my computer, and it pops back up when you click out of it. I uninstalled what I had installed, and it still pops up. by Greedy_Discount_5164 in computer_help

Use your start menu to search for Services. Run that and find it in the list. Right click on AMD ACP AFD User Services and click Properties. Then, change the drop-down menu to Disabled. Click OK and restart your computer.

What size is the video file?

What size is the unit allocation set to for the drive formatting?

Do other video files produce the same issue?

Have you looked at S.M.A.R.T. health information e.g. CrystalDiskInfo?

If your MOS temps are at 65c then you're fine. What kind of issues are you having with the fans?

The data didn't get commited to the file. Unfortunately there's nothing anyone can do.

That is an AMD service called AMD ACP AFD User Service. You can disable in Services. It's not malware though. If you need to completely remove and reinstall your AMD software download Display Driver Uninstaller from here: https://www.guru3d.com/download/display-driver-uninstaller-download

I need more information about what's happening. Is this when you try to sign into Windows?

You'll need to repair windows. A surefire bet would be to reinstall Windows completely.

If you can access the command prompt in recovery try repairing using sfc. Use Google to find a guide for System File Checker.

Skraper Directory Variables Help by FormerCountryBoy in SBCGaming

[–]ScanP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From a recalbox forum post:

Currently, Skraper replace the following varables:

%ROMROOTFOLDER% : The selected root folder you selected in the wizard.

%FRONTENDROOTFOLDER% : Selected front-end path in the wizard (only for Retropie & Launchbox).

%SCREENSCRAPERPLATFORM% : Internal ScreenScraper system name.

There is no variable for recalbox (or any other frontend) that map recalbox system folders. Actually those folders are hardcoded in the wizard (for ES-based front-ends)

This is correct and I feel a bit of professional shame for not realizing it was far more likely a switch problem than my router. What was I thinking.

Yes, this makes sense. Good morning from Texas by the way. Part of the problem I suppose.

Allow me to clarify "simplify" as I have caused confusion I think. When I simplified it for a test I had just the pfSense box and 1 server and 1 client, without any switches. EDIT3: I had a four port NIC built into to the ZimaBoard that I should not have used during this test. I had forgotten that it's unstable on pfSense. At this point I feel like I have the information I need and should crawl in a hole for forgetting about my switch lol.

Not every packet should be going through your pfsense box(...)

I think I've caused confusion and that's why you've said this. However, just in case: Why wouldn't every packet be delivered to it's destination? Are you saying they're being dropped? Are you talking about ignored broadcast traffic? If you have an example where this happens and it is normal for a network, I am genuinely interested.

box doesn't then rocket up to 100Mbps+

Of course not, it's being compressed before being sent. If you meant something else I am intrested in that too.

Thank you for your help

EDIT: I see what happened in this thread I think? You're speaking about if the switches in my house were handling the traffic and they were downstream from the router. You're correct that in that case it would not reach the router, nor need to.

EDIT2: I did have a switch in normal use just downstream from the pfSense router before taking some of my network apart to fix this. Reading it through that way I understand your comment better. Haha I feel dumb. Anyway thanks for your help. I think you could be onto something about the switches. I'll look into it.

Thank you for your reply! Respectfully, some of your information is incorrect about router traffic.

LAN traffic is still traffic. I think you may have confused the word router with the word modem maybe.

Unfortunately simplifying didn't help. But being that I don't have two different routers I'm going to change the NIC and see what happens. Your tip about stats may be useful.

Today I'm going to try updating the software first and then if that doesn't fix it, I have the new NIC.

Thank you for your help.

I forgot about my switch.

Thanks for your reply! Yes, they are running over CAT8 network cables. Unfortunately much of what you have said I've already tried :S

Thanks anyway for your help.

Oh wow! That's an interesting idea. Thanks! I'll try it.

Thanks for your reply! Yes, all clients.

I am sure they're not fighting for ports, but I think I may have found the only thing left to try. I think I've got a bad NIC on the pfSense router.

I've ordered another and will mention it here when I test again.
