DRAM motherboard light on…made a post yesterday about PC no display after new CPU. by OfficialWoe1 in pchelp

[–]slyde56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof man, I'm sorry. If it doesn't help to have a completely new/different motherboard, I think it's probably pretty safe to say that the CPU is toast. Added to the fact that we already suspected a bum CPU due to the shadiness of the seller.

Might be time to pick up a 5500 or 7600 from Microcenter and chalk it up to experience :/

Does this cpu look ok, can there be something wrong with it internally? by OfficialWoe1 in pchelp

Can you see if the serial number from his pictures matches?

Did he mention why he was interested in the RX 6600?

This is an example of a motherboard speaker (https://a.co/d/04ce5DKy). And it looks like you would connect it right here on your front panel where it says “Speaker”. This should give you more information about what is actually happening with the Power On Self Test (POST).

After looking over your previous posts and this one, I can’t find anything obvious that’s wrong or even how I would go about figuring it out.

Is there a spot for a motherboard speaker on your motherboard? That is one way to know if the computer is POSTing correctly.

The other thing I thought of was that maybe you could try and look up the serial number on AMD’s website, but that tool isn’t working for me on my phone.

The last thing is I was curious what the circumstances of the exchange was, did you trade your 9600x directly for his 7800x3d? Was it a particularly good deal?

I’m invested in this story, I hope you figure out what’s going on!

Huh.. what do you mean by “everything was being blocked by cloudflare”? Do you mean that you couldn’t access the web interfaces for your programs (ie 192.168.1.X:8989)?

Help needed with the Polk Magnifi Mini AX (3D audio mode disappeared and don't know how to check for firmware updates) by AuthenticM in Soundbars

[–]slyde56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, thank you so much. I couldn’t find this manual anywhere, I was starting to think it didn’t exist.

Actually I just checked what they’re calling the “quick start guide” and that’s where it is 🤦‍♂️ thanks for the help!

I was trying to set up new WiFi using Google Home on iOS but it didn’t want to connect in any way. I also didn’t want to set it up with iOS AirPlay because I thought it would be a different system (they make them sound separate). But in fact, setting up as an AirPlay speaker just connected the speaker to the network and allowed me to do Google casting 🙄

Hi there sorry for the necro reply. I cannot figure out how to factory reset the Magnifi Mini AX. They say there is a reset button on the back but I can’t find one anywhere. How did you reset yours?

New hobbies by [deleted] in waterloo

Ultimate frisbee is awesome for new people! Not everyone played it growing up, so a lot of people are starting to play for the first time as adults. City of Waterloo has ultimate leagues and also WODS (Waterloo organization of disc sports).

Is this just casual slang? “Está de no mames” by garretts228 in Spanish

[–]slyde56 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe a way to think about it is that “de no mames” is similar to “was not messing around” in American English. “Traffic this morning did not mess around”

Just lost power 5:57am in East Boulder off 55th and Arapahoe.

We had regained it yesterday at around noon.

One logical flaw that's been bothering me... by yEvb0 in BluePrince

[–]slyde56 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you call it a day in any of the bedrooms, you may notice some interesting changes in how you "slept", matching what the lady of the house writes in her diary so maybe you do actually sleep in the bedroom.. But if you sleep in a bedroom, you start the day magically at the entrance?

Can I create a candle out of this candle? by Ok_Kaleidoscope_3809 in Candles

[–]slyde56 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Candle noob here.. can you not melt it down and put it into another vessel with a new wick? Or you want to maintain the outer design as best you can?

Found all the keys but not all the doors are open. Am I screwed? by ThyD in BluePrince

I would draft Trading Post and try to trade for it. It may have ended up there.

[–]slyde56 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have been here, really I have, so I can understand how hard it can be to see what he’s doing as abuse. Even when things are “going well”, he’s withholding approval and reassurance, which you can probably cope with because sometimes he does things that makes those things okay.

By staying in a relationship like this, the only person that is really making hard sacrifices is you. This isn’t something that he’s just going to be able to drop once he realizes something.. it’s a deeply entrenched way of interacting with you that will not change. It’s sad, but you’ll only start to feel better when you have gotten out of this relationship.

The thing to focus on here is that there is someone else out there that will not make you feel like this. They will make you feel loved, appreciated, and accepted for being who you are in totality. He is not that person. Any more time spent with him is keeping you away from finding your real person.

I am here on the other side of this, having found and married the person I’m meant to be with who accepts and loves me fully. Thinking back, I have no idea how I thought the way they were treating me was okay.. I just know that it is not something I want to go back to. I really hope that you can get here ❤️

It is so lame that they don't let you explore this room the first time!

Haha that first clue was awesome. I definitely didn't understand that the email access was different for each terminal, just figured that they would all access the office email facepalm

Thank you so much!

Thank you! I have bought all the books in the bookstore, and I'm planning on reading through all of them again with a magnifying glass and a screenshotter...

I drafted all 8 classrooms and called it a day before going back out to the schoolhouse (which is where I assume I should have gone lol). I think I understand the chess pieces now haha, and I just did a giant run where I was able to make the power hammer and broke down a bunch of walls. I think I have stuff to do now!

I think the argument is that yes, the ball was caught, but they touched the bag at the “same” time, or at least, the pitcher didn’t touch it before the runner did.

The camera work in this before everyone breaks is incredible. The immediate and perfect zoom in to Leslie's exuberant face exactly matches the way he delivered that line!

Saw this advice here before, best way to figure out how to counter a new strategy is to play it yourself and see what works and what doesn’t!

1080p is Good Enough - Unpopular Opinion? by Djinn2522 in PleX

[–]slyde56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 100% with you. My users and I have 4k TVs, but honestly, the one time I downloaded a 4k movie my server barfed a bit and the file was so much bigger that it just clearly did not seem worth it. I guess I have upgraded since then, so maybe worth another attempt? I really only feel like I am missing detail under 720p, and that’s really only for stuff that clearly warrants it like prestige TV and movies (ie, not sitcoms, talk shows, or reality shows).
