In the BIOS, on this machine, lower right on home page, there is a list of bootable devices, arranged in "order of preference" or whatever the correct term is. On the other machine, this list is...
Bizarre?
This morning, I'd decided to go to the library in town. They have public use computers there, with real screens, i.e. a lot better than trying to work on my wife's little lap top....
I needed to move some stuff around on my desk, it required taking the power block out, hence removing power from my main machine. Work done, I restarted the system, and it came up blue flagging...
Curious. I ordered a new monitor. On the day it arrived, I took it to my computer room and started removing the equipment associated with the old monitor, microphone, speakers this kind of thing....
I am trying to see if there is a way forward without buying a new monitor.
To me, it looks like that is inevitable.
I have two almost identical systems under my desk, the keyboard and mouse switch with a small device on my desk, the screen, a large Samsung flat screen, I plug to one or the other as necessary. It...
I've put a question about this on the UEFI site, awaiting a response.
The BIOS announces itself as UEFI 1203 x64.
I agree, the list should be populated, it is not however.
I have tried swapping the power and signal cables with those that normally connect to the...
I think I have seen something that may be significant, (it goes without saying - I have not fixed this yet). I was fiddling with this again earlier, without better results, BUT, I did notice...
One of my machines has had 32 bit Windows 8.1 on it for years, the parallel interface card I had in there was no longer needed, so I took it out and started installing 8.1 x64. Goes through the usual...
I'm running the systems on the other machine down, so I can investigate this.
Further weird information... I tried again with the 32 bit version, same result, I then put another SSD on the machine with a Ubuntu system on it. Booted fine.....
I had to shut down my left system, (I have two under my desk), when I restarted it, it didn't. Wouldn't go. The machine is fitted with two SSD's. Was the older SSD that was the boot source, seems...
Her desire to see her mail overcame her resistance to doing "computery things". I've instructed her in how to get her mail from the server as I do, and she may grumble a bit, but has pages of junk...
My wife uses Windows Live Mail, (I don't), she has been unable to use her system for some time, but it is available again. Her mail reader is asking for an email address and password. Apparently, it...
Fixed. Digging a bit deeper today, the "drive" was absolutely blank, needed an initialization.
I have a job to do, but insufficient SSD space, so I bought a second SSD for this machine. It runs under Windows 8.1 x64. The device manager shows the drive, but Windows does not. Suggestions to get...
Doubt it. To keep files as small as possible, the minimum necessary to reproduce the music is going to be stored. Players don't need to known that in x millisecond "this" synth was playing "that"...
Thanks Salem. My brain is not what it was, but figured that would be okay. I'll set it up over the weekend, I can't do it now... I need a SATA cable!!!
One of the BOINC projects, Gaia, does not, yet, have a Windows client. I would like to run its work for a while to see how it does. My machine here is running Windows 8.1 on an SSD which is...
That message popped up again this morning. The registry item, I changed last time, so it will be interesting to see what happens. In any case, I have not any of the long jobs running at the moment,...
>>> Are they otherwise identical (same motherboard, OS) ?
Pretty much so. ASUS Z170 motherboards, 4GHz i7, 16GB RAM, SSD. PSU's are not the same. Both run under Windows 64 bit 8.1. The machines...
The two machines under my desk are fitted with ASUS HS7850 graphics cards. This one is fine, as it always has been. The other machine has a problem. About a third of the display is covered with small...
The machine rebooted, and I lost my work. I had set the registry, but, of course, I did this after the forced reboot flag had been set. Perhaps it won't happen again.
Thanks Salem, I have entered this into the registry, and will discover in the morning if it worked.
