It shouldn't need a "resting period" (beyond maybe a few seconds between power off -> boot). That tends to be a symptom of a hardware problem. Possibly if you cleaned out the system and temps are lower than it might resolve an overheating issue, though often hardware will simply throttle instead of fully shutting off when possible.

I'm inclined to think you still have an issue that will appear again.

Ah, thanks guys! Unfortunately I'm moving to a different city tomorrow, but I'll look into it further next time I'm home. If it makes a difference, the GPU fan is a custom one I put in when the original died.
On a purely personal note, I'd like to show Yellow the beauty of infinitely repeating Starcraft 2 bunkers. -Boxer

I've been looking at cheap haswell i5 for my budget build. I'm planning to purchase it from Amazon.com as I have some leftover giftcard balance. So far I found 3 which were i5-4430 ($180), i5-4590 ($195) and 4590s ($190). Now my question is, do you guys think it's it worth it to pay $10 perhaps $15 more for 4590(s)? Will I see any real life difference aside from benchmarks :0. I'll mainly be using for light internet usage and some video encoding+games such as bf4. Thanks!


Oh and I dont plan on getting unlocked ones. Already bought h81 mobo :l

The 4590s is a lower performance i5 with different (lower) default speeds and voltages. There's almost no reason to buy one ever.

Since the refresh processors have no real difference vs non refresh in the standard lineup but have questionable compatibility unless you're using the newer chipsets (i don't think they replaced h81..) then you'd be better off trying to get a 4570 or 4670, which is guaranteed proper support on h81 without worry.

Hi guys, I need a headphone/ear piece recommendation, mostly just for listening for music.

I'd like one that is durable since I like to dance around while listening to music.

All of the ones I've bought (all wired) always have some problem and lose the sound on one side after a while.

The latest I've tried (and suffered the above problem) is BOSE QC15.

I'm looking at building a new computer in the near future and had been targetting a GTX760 as my gpu. With the new release and price drop for the gtx 970, and the upcoming release of the gtx 960, is it better to wait a bit to see how prices stabilize / see what the performance is of the 960 to see if that's a better buy?

I'd wait. I wouldn't die having to use the integrated graphics of the CPU for a while.

The 760 got price dropped, just grab a 970 if you can afford it, 760 if you can't - only reason i see to wait is if you specifically want the v2 maxwell features (MFAA, DSR, better NVENC, power efficiency etc) but 970 is significantly out of price range

I can afford it but based on what I actually play I barely even have reason to upgrade from my gtx 460 lol

My desktop has been randomly crashing every once in a while for the past few weeks, and today it's barely run for more than 30 minutes at a time. I loaded up SpeedFan to see if it's overheating and while the temperatures look normal, the RPM on the GPU fan randomly jumps from 1800ish to ludicrous stuff like 750000. I don't hear any noise difference from the fan. Is this likely to just be a glitch in SpeedFan or could it be the real problem?

Not really a simple question I guess, but I didn't know where else to post it.

I've been having a problem similar to this for the past couple of weeks. I'm not sure what I may have changed recently that might have affected it.

Running Windows 8.1 64-bit, temperatures are fine around mid 30's. It never happens when I'm at the computer though, only when it's sitting there idle, so I never am able to see anything that might show on the screen before the crash. My SC2 would randomly freeze last month, but I cleaned out my fans and heatsink with compressed air, updated my GPU drivers, and removed the overclock on my system and that apparently fixed it. This crashing has probably started happening around that time. Whenever I come back to my computer after leaving it for a few hours it's back at the logon screen and has rebooted.

As I said, it never crashes when I'm actually on the computer, only when it's sitting there idle. The only programs running are HexChat for IRC and Skype in the background. Maybe I'll start by closing those when I leave next.

Any ideas? Event logger just says "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly."

Try disabling the power saving options in your Power setup (e.g. disks turn off after x hours, computer sleeps after x hours, etc).

Hmm weird, I was positive I had them disabled already, just double checked and most of them are on default settings. I feel like there's a good chance that could have been it. I'll leave it on overnight tonight and see if it's fixed it.

Was gone for about 6 hours this evening and it doesn't appear to have rebooted which is good news. Usually only takes about 2-3 hours before it rebooted before.

edit: Left it over overnight and it seems to be fine now, thanks.

Hey guys, well my GPU decided to celebrate Intel's release by taking a shit. Conversation with Nvidia representative says he thinks it's a hardware issue.

In the meantime, I have not been able to get my onboard GPU to activate. I can get into BIOS (no option for VGA there btw) and select safemode, but then I just get a black screen with a mouse cursor. It's an HP Pavilion. P6210.

I decided to shuffle my RAM in and out to see if one of them could be a problem. One got stuck on Loading Windows Files and the second one has sent my computer into chkdsk. Fun times.

I'm not sure what steps you've taken.

Did you get to BIOS using onboard or video card? Was your video card removed when trying to use onboard graphics?

When you say you can get into BIOS and select safe mode, I'm assuming you mean two different things here (you can get into BIOS and separately you can get to the prompt to select safe mode for Windows). Was this with the graphics card present or not?

Have you tried to boot into safe mode command prompt?

Did you completely remove the GPU or just move the cable to onboard?

When I first got crash loops, I was able to go into safemode and disable the Card. After that, I was able to boot normally but even then my desktop had that super shitty resolution, it was even worse than safe mode. I assumed that there was some sort of basic display that kicked in that wasn't my onboard, because this looked way worse than my onboard ever did. Maybe I'm wrong, though.

Later I removed the card completely and could still get into BIOS and had the option to select Safe Mode, etc but it would go to the black screen with the cursor. I'll try to see if I can get into the command prompt: Negatory on the Command Prompt. It goes to Loading Windows Files... Then to a black screen with the mouse.

Thanks for your responses!
