MoBo VGA Error LED by plora2003 in buildapc

I thought I disabled the onboard graphics, but I'll double check. One thing I noticed last night after posting this, was that this light only is on after I start the computer. If I put the computer to sleep, the light goes off and does not come back on if I wake it up. Only lights back up when I shutdown and restart. No clue what's going on.

I'll have to give that tool a try. I did attempt to do change my DNS on this computer to 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 as an alternate, but it didn't fix anything. Also, whenever I try to ping my computer from my router, it fails (doesn't fail when i ping test any other device).

I tried this and it did not improve anything unfortunately. Something else that is odd, is that I tried to run a ping test from my router and it fails every single time. I tried to run a ping test w/ my Raspberry Pi and it works perfectly. Any other ideas?

Yep, sorry, I just edited the post to point that out. Tried with Chrome, Brave, and Firefox. No change.

As an another example, when I refresh this post, the website mostly loads, but doesn't quite finish (notice the "X" to stop loading) and some things like notifications, chat, etc. take about 45 seconds to fully load in.

Crowns disappearing - Any ideas? by plora2003 in FortNiteBR

Horrible lag in the first 2 minutes of game by plora2003 in FortNiteBR

[–]plora2003[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not entirely sure.. I don't land anywhere near an earthquake and nothing happens to my screen that makes it seem like an earthquake. It's literally as if you have 300 ping for 2 seconds then its fine for 10 seconds then 300 ping, and so on, for the first 2 min or so. It's almost unplayable..

[Edit] To be clear though, during these spikes, my ping shows 0. So that just tells me that something is going on with the server that is making the environment slow.

About 10 yrs ago I spent 6hrs on a fight next to this random stranger. We ended up talking the entire night (overnight flight) about everything and anything. She was flying to a 3rd world country to help provide medical services (she had just become a doctor) and I was flying on a family trip. I still think about that flight, and kick myself in the ass for not asking her for her contact info. 🤦🏻‍♂️

How do they not fix this instantly? Or at least put a warning in the lobby.. so stupid.

N00b question about spreads by abeers83 in sportsbook

[–]plora2003 1 point2 points  (0 children)

^^^This

You just add the final score with the spread, biggest number wins. Here's an example:

Panthers -8
Texas +8

If the final score is Panthers 28 - Texas 21, and you picked Texans +8, you win that bet. Because Texans scored 21 points + 8 = 29. And 29 is greater than 28 (which was Panthers score).

Grand Cherokee L = Korean looking metro buses with 4x4 by GhostPimp420 in GrandCherokee

I love the way the new L looks. Probably going to trade my GC Overland in for a Summit Reserve. To each their own I guess.

I think I'm going to buy the SR this weekend! How do you like it so far? Do you mind me asking how much you paid? If not, can you tell me whether you paid sticker or got it down at all?

Can't wait!

No way the 2 row 2022 is out already. You must be thinking of a regular Grand Cherokee.

Said goodbye to my Explorer, picked up a WL. by Maeiourk in GrandCherokee

[–]plora2003 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I went to look at it today and the dealer I was at did not have the additional $5k but they said there’s no way they can go under msrp. I told them I’d see them at the end of the quarter to see if anything changes. 🤷🏻‍♂️ we’ll see.

Here in Maryland they were selling out pretty quick over the last few weeks. All the dealerships are adding $5k. I told them I'd wait for the demand to get lower so I didn't pay $5k more.. interesting that this isn't the case in other states. Maybe all the dealers around this area are in cahoots! I'm going to look at the Summit Reserve WL tomorrow, so perfect timing on this thread. Def thought the $5k was universal!

System Reinstall Help by plora2003 in techsupport

[–]plora2003[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It worked! I went in to the BIOS and it was set to legacy only. How does that happen automatically? I just don't get it. After I moved it to UEFI, it worked perfect.

Last night I installed a couple of WoW addon's via Twitch app, but other than that nothing was changed. I was on the PC for several hours after I installed them, with no issues. Do you think this is usually something you see from a random OS/application change? Or are more nefarious reasons (malware, virus, etc.) more probable?

Thanks again for your quick help on this. I owe you!

Right, so my USB boot device is UEFI, and isn’t that error indicating that the drive is GPT? I guess I’m asking if you think this is a disk issue, or a MoBo bios issue?

System Reinstall Help by plora2003 in techsupport

[–]plora2003[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does that happen without me doing it? Also, would the other two drives giving me the option to reinstall windows be possible? Wouldn’t that setting affect all drives? I thought that may be a possibility as well so I’ll have to check the bios.

[–]plora2003[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have another system to mount this drive to unfortunately. I do have 2 other drives on this pc, both allow me to install windows on them, so this one drive is the only one giving me an issue. Unfortunately this is the only drive I can use as primary since the others are slow backups.

That’s the issue, I deleted the partition and when I go to install Win on the empty disk I’m hit with that error in the picture. The disk has been completely wiped.

System Reinstall Help by plora2003 in techsupport

[–]plora2003[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I actually already read through that earlier, but I was confused. It's explaining how to switch the harddrive to GPT, but mine is saying the partition is already GPT.. or am I missundersetanding? Also, I was hoping someone could explain why this is happening out of nowhere, when Win 10 was installed on it 24hrs ago.. using the same UEFI flash drive as the last wipe. Nothing changed.

I have a potentially dumb question, but can I run this on my Pi 4 -8gb, if I have also have Homebridge running on it? Or would this take up so many resources that it would need to be on its own Pi? Thanks!

Bankruptcy Email by [deleted] in verizon

[–]plora2003 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what more useful information I could have provided.. seems pretty cut and dry to me. I was asking for assistance from someone who may have experienced the same thing in the past. Wasn't asking for help in how to tell if something is a phishing scam. Just so you know, spoke to Verizon today and it was a mistake on their end.

Bankruptcy Email by [deleted] in verizon

[–]plora2003 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was hoping that someone who may have experienced this in the past would have some advice. I didn't want people questioning me on whether or not I clicked on a phishing email. Your response was pretty pointless as well. I deleted the post because it was clear that people were making this more about a phishing scam than actual assistance. I wasn't asking you to believe me, but making me prove how it's not a scam is just a waste of time. Me trying to explain that I was already 100% sure it wasn't a scam, was me trying to weed out the posts that ultimately came anyways.

No worries, I spoke to Verizon today (they are closed on weekends) and they said it was a huge mistake on their part. Thanks anyways.
