So I want to connect a controller/stick to my PC and decrease input lag, so 2 questions:

1) Does USB 3.0 (blue) decrease input lag vs. USB 2?

2) Will using the USB ports in the back of the PC decrease input lag vs. the USB ports in the front?


1) No
2) No (most likely not, manufacturers may vary with power supply on such ports, but that's basically it).

Input lag has to do with the polling rate of the device, the higher the polling rate, the more times your device sends information to your PC. This results in faster response time.
For example 1000Hz polling rate == 1ms.

Ok, thanks!

No. No, I would say it is not.

Well if your CPU has some tooth decay it might be a good substitute.

It's important to note that the lag from polling rate is added onto all of the other lag sources, 1000hz just means 1ms added from polling. The device itself can still have significant input lag (or the system/screen etc can)

Guys, I'm having issue with many games on my PC keeps giving error code 0x000007b, so I decided to browse around. I tried reinstalling all the VC++ but did not work. One of the solutions suggested that I do chkdsk /f /r. Now It is stuck on 15% for over an hour.

Is this normal?
Will this actually help with the 0x000007b?

Please help

Your disk is probably dying.

There might be a spot it can't read from and it tries again and again and that's why "chkdsk /r" does not continue.

The 0x7b could mean that the drive disappeared from under Windows and that's why Windows crashed.

You can check the disk's "SMART" data where it records errors that happened in the past and other stuff. Try the tool "CrystalDiskInfo". If you find something suspicious there, you can read a short description of particular entries over here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T.

If you find that your drive had errors, the usual suggestion is to stop using the drive at all except for trying to get files off of it for a backup. You should buy a replacement immediately.

Thank you very much. I'll check my HD with it and report what I find.

Thank you again.

If you mouse over the bit at the top where it says Health Status, it gives you an actually readable number (my HDD has 4015 reallocated sectors)

What this means is, there were two spots on the disk that broke. When the drive tried to read from or write to those two spots, it could not do it. It's called "reallocated sectors count" because the drive has a secret, unused area on the disk where it gets replacements for broken spots.

The usual recommendation is to not trust this drive and to replace it immediately.

You should definitely backup everything important right now.

If you are not scared of suddenly losing the whole drive, you could wait a bit for fun. You could take a look at that SMART data at the end of every day. The disk might stop running into broken spots and could stay usable for a bunch more years, or the errors could increase week over week which would be a sign that it's definitely dying.

What's worrying is that when you made your first post about this, you said that "chkdsk /r" had been stuck for one hour. Now after all this, there were only two broken spots on the disk. This perhaps does not fit with a very long wait. When the drive can't use a spot, I don't know if it then tries for one whole hour. I thought it would give up after two minutes or so.

That hour of waiting might mean that there were a lot more than just two spots with a problem, except the drive managed to still use them after trying for a while. Having spots like that which are not fully broken and still kind of work make the drive basically useless because Windows will give up earlier and show you that 0x7b crash.


If you have warranty on this drive, you should ask the manufacturer for help (or go through the shop where you bought it: depends on the regulations of your country).

Thanks for the assistance man.

I have to say my HDD does have a record of "Fucking up" and forcing me into unplanned formats. But after the 0x7b issue that only SC2 and BW are working on it (This guy sure loves Blizzard), I'll change it ASAP this week.

Thank you again. I appreciate it.

Well you see the problem is quite clear: your harddrive is hotter than the sun. Naturally you should lease it to energy companies and use the proceeds to get a top of the line machine.

Haha... About that I just checked the temperature and it is showing between 25 - 30 Celsius. Not sure why it is showing such out of the world value

Two failed sectors doesn't necessarily mean abandon the drive. You should definitely keep a close eye on it and see if it increases further. If it keeps going up I'd replace it immediately, but if it doesn't then it may remain not an issue until it approaches its end of life.

I always get bluescreen by watching twitch on chrome. Never happened on firefox or IE.
0x0000001A (0x0000000000000403, 0xFFFFF680000611E8, 0x928000009042A867, 0xFFFFF6800000B898

Dump file size is too small - requires at least 597568407 bytes

edit: Only if I watch on fullscreen. Win7 64. I know that this only happens when I watch on pepperflash.
