Question Ryzen 1700 Instability?

In my entire career, I have seen a faulty CPU causing intermittent crashes exactly once. They tend to either work as intended, or not at all. By your symptoms, I would rate the possible culprits as mobo 75%, RAM 20%, PSU 4%, CPU 1%. With the caveat that I am Europe-based. I understand that...

Question Asrock A320m Pro4 with Ryzen 5; lots of issues

Your symptoms point to defective hardware. RAM or mobo is almost certainly defective and should be replaced. Probably the mobo

Backup Strategy for a Quick Evacuation Emergency

That does not protect against theft or fire, for instance. I think that an off-site solution is a better alternative for a second backup (provided you have a good internet connection, of course). Crashplan unfortunately seems intent on removing everything that made their solution awesome, but...

laptop keeps freezing during video

No. Your hardware is faulty. If you want to fix your problem, you need to identify the faulty component and replace it anyway. The alternative is living with the unstable hardware until it stops working.

laptop keeps freezing during video

That is almost definitely a hardware problem. RAM or SSD are the primary suspects. I would grab Ultimate Boot CD and use it to run some tests. But be aware that the tests might kill the faulty hardware completely, so remember backups first.

Freezing in game occasionally. Usually happens when I hit opponents or when they hit me

That sounds like defective hardware. RAM, mobo, video card in descending order of probability. I give et a 80% chance of being defective RAM, so test that first.

Is there a way to use a lot of m.2s in a desktop

Whoops, I just learned that m.2 come in both PCIe and SATA variants. The ones I can get is the SATA variety. That was important information, I guess. Thanks for your replies so far, though.

Is there a way to use a lot of m.2s in a desktop

Hi guys, I will probably be building a desktop soon. I can get my hands on a number of small m.2 SSDs quite cheaply (a local business has replaced the drives in their laptops and now has a number of m.2s they do not know what to do with.) I could save quite a bit of cash by getting 4 250 GB...

Good gaming mic only (no headphones)?

This might be overkill, but an untraditional option is a Shure SM-58 in a mic stand and a small audio interface. I used this setup back when I played World of Warcraft, and it is a very good, though expensive, option.

Which good quality AP for me?

The UAP-AC-LR definitely sounds like a fair bet. I even think I know a vendor who carries them and owes me a favor. Thanks everyone.

Which good quality AP for me?

I can wait some weeks if an update is just around the corner. Is there a point in paying for the Pro line, or does the standard line perform just as good, but without the enterprise class features? I do not mind shelling out for the Pro version if it performs better, but it would be a shame...

Which good quality AP for me?

Buying in the US and shipping it to Denmark is definitely not cost-effective. Are Ubiquity's APs a good bet?

Which good quality AP for me?

An outdoor AP at mounted on the outside of an outer wall might make sense. On the other hand, so might mounting on the inside of it, since the heavy use will nearly always take place indoors. Hmm. Any recommendations for specific brands/models?

USB 3.1 yay? or nay?

Ah, ye olde Accidental Upgrade. "Dude, did you get a new mobo?" "Dammit, not again. The fuckers just keep slipping into my case." ;-)
