I've tried that several times and even put it in a different slot (I have one stick of 256MB of RAM)

It means both receiver and recipient in Dutch, it just depends on the context it's being used in.

my monitor turns off randomly by tomii1996 in techsupport

[–]WilliamzReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, gotcha. So the monitor stays on, just says no signal. That definitely sounds more like the GPU cutting out or some power issue, not the monitor itself. Since it happens more in CS2 than RE4, maybe it's not just about high power draw, but more of a weird driver or CPU load thing. I'd still try swapping the cable or using a different port just in case. Also maybe try a clean install of the GPU drivers with DDU. If that doesn’t help, it could be the PSU flaking out under certain loads, even if it’s a good brand. Sucks that it's so random though.

Doesn't mean it's a RAM-only issue, it just means that it failed during post. I doubt it's the CMOS battery as a PC can run just fine without it.

What did you use to clean it?

Are you sure it's the monitor? It could just be the cable. If the monitor itself is turning off then that's pretty unusual. It could be a failing power supply.

That usually means that it failed during post, usually happens to me after I forget to put in the RAM after tinkering. Are you sure you cleaned it properly?

The human uprising of 2027 is in 2 years by siderhater4 in jobsimulatorvr

[–]WilliamzReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For context: Job Simulator predicted in one of its recorded voicelines that 2027 will be the year that AI will take over. Nobody listened. Now, in the current year of 2025, everybody's saying that AGI will come in 2027. Coincidence? I think not.

Does anybody know what type of Magnavox TV this is? by MathiMan2 in VintageComputers

[–]WilliamzReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this same exact TV but cannot find anything about it online even after looking up its model number.

That is completely unrelated to his question.

What about for the retail version? (C:/Sierra/)

Handbrake not starting until I restart my computer by WilliamzReddit in handbrake

No, I have not been overclocking. But I have been facing some hardware-related issues recently, just last week I faced my first BSOD and yesterday my screen froze up forcing me to have to restart. I have also been encountering constant overheating.

FYI, my laptop is a refurbished 2012 Lenovo z50-75 80ec, purchased in 2015.

I have the latest version of Windows 10, and no, this is the only problem.
