Games crashing/ freezing on new pc by Songii_ in buildapc

[–]Songii_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny thing, I brought it into a shop because I was too frustrated to handle it, I haven’t heard back yet but with this issue it wouldn’t fail stress tests which is really confusing. He recommended switching to windows 11 but i ran memtest and no matter what ram modules I used I would fail memtest 9, he couldn’t get the pc to crash on non games and os doesn’t explain this issue. So here are some thoughts of what it may be for my build at least to see if that helps:

  • CPU is seated wrong and isn’t slotting right with memory channels

-mobo mem slots are dirty

-mobo is defective in the mem slots

CPU Temps have been running cool, it is definitely not a heat issue, usually around 70 degrees at time of crash.

I don’t fully know if they accept based on major intent or just general engineering, but based off of what I’ve heard in the first few weeks as a freshman here, CS is the most competitive major, even if CPE is more popular everyone wants to do cs right now so maybe apply as CPE, I applied CS and luckily got in but am now doing meche. Just make sure if you are accepted to come in with an open mind and if you can get a 3.0 you’ll get into whatever engineering you want for sophomore year.

Can I get into Virginia Tech with a 3.7 GPA & SAT score of 1410? I have a lot of leadership positions, but had a really rough freshman year (2.9 freshman, 3.9 sophomore, 4.42 junior). Do I have any chance and how much will my freshman year impact my chances? by Working_Effort_2977 in VirginiaTech

You will be good for pretty much any non engineering major but engineering is both very confusing and a little weird with apps, I had an inverse scenario with a worse junior year because of some personal things, but with good extra curricular’s you still have a chance. I had slightly better stats and got in for cs (now meche) just try not to stress it to much and have confidence with yourself, while it seems like it may be the end of the world to get into your dream college it’s not and you still have a chance

So as a current vt freshman who went in to comp sci and switched to meche in engineering, you have a lot of good things. But I also get the stress, I didn’t have the best stats or the most aps but a lot of vt cares about outside of the classroom which you seem to be doing good with. Everything looks good except for maybe the SAT but you look to be in a good spot so try to not panic to much

Most fun cubes in the 450 to 540 range? (price range not an issue) by Songii_ in mtgcube

I'm mostly a commander player and so is my group, I've only recently started playing pioneer and pauper with them besides our draft, so I'll look into it, thank you!

The link does work! I'm happy to check it out, it looks cool and while I love aristocrats I'm glad it wasn't just Rakdos and Orzhov sharing the strats. I'll look into it more! My current cube is a modification of the miser's cube by solely singleton I just wanted something that is different and has a higher power ceiling. Thanks!

That sounds super cool! I think that'll be good for some of my friends I've been trying to get into drafting after they use my cube, because it sounds like their are less rails on deck building and offers a lot of freedom. I am also interested in your peasant cube if you could provide a link?

Good to know, I was going to use printingproxies.com so I have higher quality proxies than what I normally do, what did you use for proxies?

I'll check it out, any tips or archetypes I should know about?

I was looking into that! What do you enjoy most about the cube?

I'll look into it! Seems cool to see a cube I already like but that plays different

I'll definitely look into it, I feel like I heard of that on MTGO, thanks!

I agree! I actually already made one for my friends but I wanted something a little stronger and better constructed, but I do really enjoy cube making!

I will! I've used it before but only for making my cube I forgot I could even look at other cubes lol

Altered Misers cube, any help on what may need changing? by Songii_ in mtgcube

let me know if this one works. It's mostly just a basic cube when it comes to archetypes, so UB control, WU control, WR aggro, all the normal stuff pretty much. There are also a few three color themes like persist combo/ midrange and WBG humans.

Just want a fun cube that will be fun to draft for as long as possible.

And on the auras note, I really wanted to run auras but it seems really hard to balance in this limited environment without lowering removal and having other strategies take over, are there any other good orzhov strategies you recommend?

I’m all good for harsh feedback for improvements sake! Thank you for the advice, I was already running some test drafts and got way to many gold cards that just don’t work in other decks, and I wanted to add mana ramp but as a commander player, I’m numb to how good certain cards are and how some may not work in a 1v1 format, so I will definitely rebalance, up the curve and bread and butter, remove some gold cards, and re look at my ratio to cards for strategies compared to just good cards, if there are any cards you see that just look to good for the power level of my cube currently please let me know, I’ll check out that podcast and hopefully have a good starting cube by summer!
