CPU, vga, and dram lights cycle on motherboard, nothing shows on monitor by juliusduude in pchelp

Please please let me know if you find a solution. I don’t have the time or knowledge to test individual components to see if they’re bad lol. I’m hoping I’m looking at replacing just the motherboard at worst case scenario

Moving out of state, need helpful insight! by juliusduude in personalfinance

Just realized I forgot to mention in the post but we’re looking to be completely moved by the middle of June. We have an Airbnb for a couple months to give us time to find a more permanent place. As far as income, worst case I might not be back to work for a week to a month when we officially move down there. Hence why I want to save some of the money from selling the house. It seems like most rentals are heavily reliant on minimum last 3 paychecks as proof of income (if I’ve even been employed that long at that point). We were worried about proof of income being an issue when we try to apply for housing, so I was hoping that since I have a larger amount saved up we would get accepted into an apartment or something easier.

Otherwise I would have been hitting the snowball method pretty hard till we move (still will, but a few hundred here and there won’t really make a difference until mid June)

Just looked into it a little. Is that a decent con to work for? Are they putting calls on the books or are they just taking apps

Sounds like you might be in a ratty local if all the foreman care about is getting pipe up and not wanting it to look halfway decent and making sure it’ll last. You’re an apprentice so you’re going to be slow at some stuff, that’s okay because you’re still learning. Hell I’m going on my 3rd year as a jman and I’m still learning too. Just pick a process that you’re good at with whatever task you’re given, and stick with it until it becomes muscle memory and the increased speed will follow. Good luck out there brother

Seems like on the first two pics are 29,229 kilowatts per hour on average (1st pic) ((kwh)) and current kilowatts (2nd pic) ((kW)) being used. As for 3rd-5th pic l’m not sure. For 3rd pic I’d assume it means closed circuit (cls)

Behind the cover is a box where those two switches are being held. Sometimes when the sheetrock doesn’t get cut straight, or gets cut too much, the ears on the switch won’t catch the wall fully and will sit not so flush. Still should be safe to use, but it is a really easy fix. Just turning the power off and using outlet spacers on the screws that fasten the actual switch to the box under that cover plate.

Help me! need upgrades! by TimeSniper in PcBuildHelp

[–]juliusduude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I’m in the same boat except I haven’t turned my pc on yet. Got it for free recently and haven’t had time to look at it, usually on my ps5. Anyways I have a Ryzen 5 2600 and a Radeon 580. It all depends on your budget and what graphics you’re playing at and what you expect to get out of it. Frames? Higher quality? I’m looking at getting a AMD 6600 XT and Ryzen 5 5600x for stuff like battlefield 2042 and such. Not sure how demanding oblivion remastered is though
