Seconded. Pull gpu. Test. If persist, pull first stick of ram, cycle other sticks up. Test. Alternatively use a mem test.

Either a bad gpu or an early mem block could do this.

If neither solve the issue, it could be a mobo issue, but less likely.

Two lines from the bottom they are missing:

Discovered DOTA2

China makes just over 50% of ALL semiconductors in the world. While they don't make most of the big name CPUs, they make most all the other chips in your computer. Memory included.

I do audiology research and can tell you right now, short of a cochlear implant -no we can't. And we are easily about two decades away from anything close. And even then, a CI can't make music sound as good as your ears. There is no 'one' place in the brain you can imput music into. The most dense and easiest place to input the music is in the cochlea, like a cochlear implant does. Every place up the chain then branches out to thousands of connections and makes it harder and harder. And every step higher up that you try to interface into means you are skipping the initial signal generator and lose out on all the needed fidelity. The next step above a CI is an ABI, auditory brainstem inplant. And they sound so bad, just going one stop up from the cochlea, that those users barely can understand speech and only in the best settings. And normally after about a year of auditory therapy with it. Realistically we tell people (the handfull a year who will end up with one) that they should expect to get sound awareness, and that's it, from their ABI. And now Elon talks about wanting to go another half dozen steps up from that and magically have the fidelity to make it sound like music?? GTFO. This guy is a moron and doesn't know what he is talking about.

Too soon for Obi Wan? 1977? Nah.

But I will tell you what was too soon. I was at a firefly/serenity trivia night back in about 2008 or 2009 and everyone had various firefly related cute names. Kaylee's commandos, the 'Washbucklers, team 'leaf on the wind', and such. Then you had the one team that chose fire. Their team name was "Reaver cleaning company: putting spears in the wash since 2005"

That was too soon...

For as much as everyone is saying to buy now out of economic fear, I wouldn't say they are wrong, but there are several steps that will have to happen first. Tarrifs must be congressional approved first. That means the bill must be presented, debated on, voted on, then signed. I would start to worry a little when we see the bill presented, but even then if he presents some insane ranting that everyone knows will kneecap the economy for the rich, then it won't go through and I wouldn't worry. But if he lets his economic hit men write it and it is airtight, targeted, and specifically- then I would be buying my computer parts before the effective date hits for the reasons people are saying.

Amazing pictures! Also crazy to think about thr sheer size of space objects. This galaxy is 100,000 light years across. Mind boggling huge. The ring is made of "dust" and hydrogen, but that is only a generalization. I always laugh when scifi claims "aliens came to earth to steal our resources!" But then then you look at a picture like this and realize their are clouds that just float in space with more resources than our planet a million times over.

I recently looped back to rimworld.

I was playing a bunch of frostpunk 2, then a little frostpunk 1, and then bounced between the two of them. But in the end all gaming comes back to rimworld...

Also up vote because obviously the only correct answer. It was based on golden source material. Therefore could not fail.

Oh, right. "Special military operation". Then they get to keep the land for settlements as reparations for forcing them into attacking.

So.... invasions? Isn't that what we call it when you sent troops in war into other countries? Invasion.

When it is easy bull markets, I go heavy on growth stocks. When the market is bear, I go heavy on dividends. Right now though there is a high beta turmoil, so I have a mix of both. My IRA is also set up as more od a "leave this alone" investment. My etrade account has my "fuck around and find out" money. I mention this because it is hard to directly compare the two. So far my dividends have strongly out performed the growth stocks, but only in the last 3 months or so has the gap widened. I credit it to 2 specific ones that are getting me 30%-ish yields with stable prices. They are also new etf's, so the hedge money is still strong before the stripping gets to its prices. I mentioned in a post lower that that my little under 30k is netting me 800/month. Honestly it is paying a higher yield than renting out my condo is getting me.
