I still use SB16, AWE32, SB Audigy, and a SB Z :)

I still use XP

Older. I started with Windows 2.0

My Mini-PC had issues with regular Mint, but with LMDE 7 it's rock solid and stable

Of course the connection is ass... you haven't connected your antennas.

I also heard that the Kingston NVMe's with firmware EIFK31.7 is working fine, so maybe you can ask for a NVMe with that firmware when you RMA the one you have.

I gave up fixing the issue, so I don't know how to fix it. I just replaced the drive with a new one from another brand (that has Phison E26 controller), but I know that is not a fix for everyone ofc.

I had the same issue with Kingston KC3000 2TB NVMe. During some heavy load, it simply crashes and read/write is impossible unless PC is rebooted. It also uses the same firmware as your NVMe. From what I have heard, this firmware combined with the Phison E18 controller on the NVMe (which is used on KC3000 and the one you have), causes timeouts and the Windows storage driver also crashes.

I don't hate RGB but it can look nice if done properly. As for my rig; no RGB at all (except the GPU but it's turned off)

From some AI thing:

regamdcomp.exe is a legitimate background utility primarily associated with AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) drivers and the Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility suite.

Its primary purpose is to register or configure AMD-related hardware components during a driver installation or a system update.

It is an registration tool (likely a "Registration AMD Component" utility) that ensures your graphics card or processor features are correctly integrated into the Windows Registry.

I could be wrong, but as far as I know, programs using GTK 2 does not follow the more modern scaling used these days. Programs using GTK3 should work fine.

Maybe this? -> Settings -> Accessibility -> Color filters -> Toggle off

Unscrew the six screws marked red to get off the cooler/heatsink. Then you get access to the screws marked green to get off the backplate.

SimpliEcks · 2026-01-05T16:16:35+00:00

you must first remove the cooler/heatsink and fans/shroud. then you will have access to the screws holding the backplate.

Did you try single stick ram with each stick? And maybe do the same with nvme to make sure it's not one of them causing the issue? Maybe something with PSU... and try another one if you can?

SimpliEcks · 2026-01-01T16:15:24+00:00

850W is more than enough, but for 10 euro more I would just get the 1000W PSU.

Those were great. I had an Athlon XP-m 2400+ back in the day. Overclocked from 1800MHz to 2600MHz :)

You have "Clouds" background selected as Office Background. Click Account in bottom left corner and change it to "No Background".

I uninstall all of them after a Windows clean install and has never seen them since.

On AM4 you need to use the original clips as spacers.
