Shadowcloud🐲 🔞🐾:veripawed4: ΘΔ<p>Maybe someone here can help, because I'm slowly running out of solutions to solve my server problem. </p><p>The server (running Linux Mint, Ryzen 1800X, GTX 970, 32GB Kingston Fury Beast 3200 (at most, running at 2400 now)) crashes randomly, mostly at idle only with some background applications running (Jellyfin (without encodes), JDownloader,...) sometimes after hours sometimes after days or even weeks without any issues in between.</p><p>At first, I thought it was the high-clocked RAM since I recall 1st Gen Ryzen having issues with that, and that was the only part that I upgraded before the issues started, so I clocked it down to 3000, 2666 and now 2400 and ran RAM tests. The tests brought up no problems. (I had one run on 3200 that failed after 45 minutes, but the error never happened again, not even after 24 hours of continuous testing on none of the frequencies.)</p><p>ChatGPT is a bit helpful, so I sent my logs to it, but it doesn't change anything about the problem. It told me to run RAM tests, clock down, check for overheating, and all that stuff. The only thing it found is that I sometimes have MCEs (Machine Check Events) on different CPUs and Banks, but that doesn't give an immediate hint to what's wrong exactly. I also had one single machine crash, where it didn't restart and I had to force reboot it.</p><p>So if anyone can help me with what I could still try, I would be really grateful!</p><p><a href="https://macrofurs.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://macrofurs.social/tags/Mint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mint</span></a> <a href="https://macrofurs.social/tags/PC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PC</span></a> <a href="https://macrofurs.social/tags/problems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>problems</span></a> <a href="https://macrofurs.social/tags/RAM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RAM</span></a> <a href="https://macrofurs.social/tags/crash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>crash</span></a> <a href="https://macrofurs.social/tags/restart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>restart</span></a> <a href="https://macrofurs.social/tags/techsupport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>techsupport</span></a></p>

Arios, Cosmic Phoenix 🌌🐦🔥🔜FWA<p>So somehow variable refresh rate/FreeSync is no longer working for me for borderless games? It worked perfectly until a few days ago and now it just refuses to comply. I can see from my monitor overlay that it works fine for fullscreen games, but as soon as I switch to bordlerless the refresh rate stays at a fixed 144 and the games become choppy during frame drops. </p><p>This is on Windows 11 with a FreeSync Monitor, Nvidia 4070ti Super and the most recent driver. G-Sync Compatible is enabled for both fullscreen and windowed and all the windows 11 optimizations are on...</p><p>I'm used to shit breaking randomly on Linux, I thought i was safe from that on Windows.

Bob Young<p>“My daughter’s personal computer, she uses for school work, came up with needing a BitLocker recovery password.”</p><p>Over the weekend I was contacted by a dad on the other side of the country trying to locate the BitLocker key. This is a very common problem. Microsoft’s position is, “Don’t worry, we store you BitLocker keys for you in your Microsoft account!” Microsoft’s attitude seems like: “I know you’re in water over your head, and you can’t swim, and you’re drowning and choking, but don’t worry, we have life preservers right here on the boat. Come get one!” </p><p>The reality is that many people have no idea what to do when faced with this challenge.</p><p>You must protect yourself. Get your BitLocker recovery key for every BitLocker device, and store it safely yourself. You can find information on how to get your recovery key by searching for “find my BitLocker recovery key,” or a similar phrase, using any search engine.</p><p>If you don’t want to do that, contact me, and I’ll help you get your BitLocker key(s) for a very reasonable fee.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/CallMeIfYouNeedMe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CallMeIfYouNeedMe</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/FIFONetworks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FIFONetworks</span></a></p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/BitLocker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BitLocker</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/HelpDesk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HelpDesk</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/TechSupport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TechSupport</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/RemoteSupport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RemoteSupport</span></a></p>
