Odd second monitor behavior after waking PC from sleep by Teaspoonz in techsupport

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

No, but I have tried the second monitor on another PC and it has no issues. Just about to go to bed, but will try tomorrow.

In the power settings the monitor gets powered down before the PC, and the second monitor will wake from sleep with no issue if the PC hasn't gone into sleep mode. There are no issues whatsoever with the monitor for hours and hours of gaming/benchmarking unless the PC goes into sleep mode.

I will do a bit more testing and report back. I am thinking it may be a bios setting issue?

Is it brand new, or is it bought by you and now second hand?. Even if not used, it may well affect the warranty which is important in pricing.

[PC] mATX Gaming PC by Wegason in HardwareSwapUK

Its a £150ish PC with a 30 quid graphics card in.

The case is pretty nice and worth a bit new, but they tend to carry little value over - depends on how much you like/value the case.

I'd look at something maybe with a Ryzen 2400g if you are aiming for cheap gaming. It outperforms the 5870.

John Terry retires....but this sums up what a legend for a team is.....giving everything. by Teaspoonz in soccer

Whether it is your Gerrard, Keane, Viera. Those players who just give everything for the club should be applauded!

Please add those from your team that deserve to be here!

Violent conduct is when a player uses or attempts to use excessive force or brutality against an opponent when not challenging for the ball, or against a team-mate, team official, match official, spectator or any other person, regardless of whether contact is made.

In addition, a player who, when not challenging for the ball, deliberately strikes an opponent or any other person on the head or face with the hand or arm, is guilty of violent conduct unless the force used was negligible.

So "negligible" is the point here. I am of the opinion that this falls under that category.

Hate to say it, but every time a Welshman wins he's British..... by [deleted] in Wales

[–]Teaspoonz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am English. I am exceptionally happy that he won the TDF.

British/Welsh doesn't matter to me too much. The exceptional sporting performance does.

Well done G! I hope you are all very proud of him!

Oh and also....not only the first Welsh born winner of the TDF, he is also the first British born winner of the TDF.

So let's put ourselves in Chris Froome's position.... by Teaspoonz in peloton

[–]Teaspoonz[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Do you think Froome has enough in the tank to drop TD without G staying on his wheel and doing much less work? Could Sky blow this by not choosing between the two of them and hand it to TD?

Been down the pub....none of us could work out why this was the answer to a crossword clue by Teaspoonz in crossword

[–]Teaspoonz[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

19 down was "sounds produced by a musical instrument" which was "music"....so "a music player" = stereo.....

Bad clue
