About 5 years ago, I built a desktop for the purpose of editing my video. I'd just started videoing after years with still photography. My initial built was moderate with a budget under $1,000 before the monitor. This was the component list: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X Processor ASRock B450M PRO4...

I would not wipe out the programs and apps I have already installed, right?

My Windows 11 is version 21H2. I want to update to the latest one. I went into windows update and click check for update and it will just be checking forever. It is stuck. Appreciate some advice.

Where you find a motherboard that accommodates an old CPU with a relatively new GPU? Doesn't the RTX requires PCIe4 slot? Did they have PCIe slot 14 years ago?

Not sure I understand. Can you elaborate please? This is a brand new computer. Dust is not the problem.

For some reason, the cable connecting the cooling pad and the charger is not working. If I giggle it, the fans come on and off. Is the cable the weakest point? I have two of this unit with the same problem. Because of that, do you think just putting the G15 on the cooling pad, which allows...

I don't do games. My most taxing task is when I export video from Premiere Pro. My video is usually 4-6 minutes and the export time on this machine is amazingly about 60% of video length. So, for 3-4 minutes the GPU and CPU are working hard, the throttlings are intermittent. The cooling pad...

Got myself a Dell G15 for X'mas. This laptop packs a lot of power for $1,199. i9-13900HX, RTX4060, 32gb Dram, 1TB nvme SSD. My video editing is sailing like a breeze. I no longer have to envy those youTube tutorials when they scrub the footage left and right. The machine runs hot. Even in...

Turned out, Spyder3Pro is no longer supported and it is not working with newer computer.

Bought a new Dell G15. I tried to install my old Spyder3Pro V4.0 to calibrate my new monitor. The software installed fine. When I tried to activate the app with Spyder plugged in, it would not go any further after I clicked Next. Any advice?

Yes, that's what I think. I just drag opening it up to play with the ribbon cable.

Insert caption here. If you do not edit this text it will be automatically removed. My HP8470p screen would give me a screen like the picture and the computer would not response to the keyboard. I always thought that there is an issue with the screen connection. I would that I was moving the...

When I posted this thread, I was in the middle of rebuilding the index. I had not modified the folder selection so it still included the external backup drive. It took almost three days and night and it was still going with about 490,000 items indexed and more to go. The problem is, the speed...

I am running Windows 10 and use MS Outlook 2010 for my email. I haven't upgrade to the latest and newest MS Office since I retired 10 years ago because I use the computer for my internal personal use. I have been having some search issue with my Outlook so I decided to rebuild the index. The...

Actually, fixing the power strip problem not only cured the blinking monitor issue. I had two other issues that had been bothering me a while but could not get it fixed for the life of me. My 32gb DRAM are rated 3200 Mhz and I configured it to 3200 on the MBO. It would dropped back to 2133 Mhz...

After I got the problem fixed, I retraced the problem and pinned it down to two possible causes. Replacing the cable solved the problem. But the new cable was run from another power outlet (although it is in the same circuit breaker area). I found it hard to believe that an AC cable can go bad...

I hope this doesn't jinx me. It seems that I have resolved the problem and it seems too easy. I replaced the AC power cable with a NEC OEM AC cable and it stopped the Black Out. I replaced it this afternoon but I have already gotten the machine on for an hour so whatever problem I had when I...

This is my built: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X Processor ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1060 DirectX 12 ZT-P10620A-10M 6GB 192-Bit GDDR5X PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready Video Card Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory EVGA - 600W ATX 12V/EPS 12V 80 Plus Power Supply - Black ASRock B450M PRO4 Micro ATX...

I am going be using Premiere Pro for video editing. I currently have the 7 3800x which is 8 core. A 5800x still has only 8 core and the gain is marginal. I would want to have the 16 core 9 5950x but it is too much for my budget. The 12 core 9 5900x is a compromised choice. I choose the RTX 3060...

Turned out, I entered the wrong case. After putting the Cougar MX330 in, there is no more issue. Thanks.
