I have Win10 installed on an external 2.5" ssd and plug it in only when needed. I used Rufus to get it installed onto the drive using Windows to Go, and the performance is good enough. I even have it booting with Secure Boot on a Dell Latitude. Only when it updates, you have to make sure to...
I have this old Lenovo Tab 4 8" which has been tossed around and been put under a pillow over the last 4 years. I think I know what happened to the screen, but am looking for some comments to see for sure. These artifacts can only be seen when the display is on but on a dark color, like dark...
Do you have a spare monitor that you could hook up via HDMI? Check to see if it happens on that, if not, then it is the screen, if it still happens then either the GPU/CPU or the screen itself is the problem.
Update, I installed Feren OS Linux on the SP920 in a USB enclosure with a GPT/UEFI flash drive and it boots right into Linux on my desktop. I guess that SSD had an issue with Win10 and the Lenovo laptop booting UEFI mode.
I found out what the problem was, it was the SSD. I took an Adata SU800 128GB I also had laying around, I imaged the problem drive and put it on the SU800 with pure UEFI mode and it booted right away into the Windows setup screen. So it was the Adata SP920 drive that couldn't boot with UEFI...
I used two different flash drives when I installed Windows10. SMART data on the drive looks good, and is still at 99% health, but I have no way to secure erase the SSD as Adata and many other programs don't let you Secure erase in windows.
I am selling off an old laptop, i5 3317u and have an Adata SP920 SSD laying around to put in. I made the Windows 10 USB two ways, with Media Creation Tool and with Rufus and .iso, making sure it was GPT and UEFI. I made sure UEFI only was selected in the laptop, a Lenovo U310, and it installs...
I just bought a Dell 3120 with Pentium Silver N6000 for a very small portable laptop with Windows as I didn't want Chromebook or Android tablet. Why did Intel split the Pentium in Silver (low power J and N chips) and Gold (Gxxxx desktop and U mobile chips) but they didn't do it with Celeron? I...
On the sticker, it says 3.3 V and 1.8A. WD seems to hype up the low power consumption of the drive. I am using it in a desktop so I can't speak of how little power it is using.
This is why I just bought a SN570, which replaces the SN550, as it has TLC, and much better performance than SN550. I ran it with CDM and was hitting the advertised speeds of 3500 MB/s read and about 3000 MB/s write, Q8T1 sequential. The SN570 is so new that I can't even seem to register the...
If money is no object go for the Sandisk Extreme Pro. I bought a couple of Mushkin Ventura Plus about 5 years ago that had great read and good sequential write speeds but lately they are acting flaky on my new motherboard, Asus H470M, unless I plug them into the ports on the motherboard. Past...
I just had a look at cpu specs at Intel ARK, and compared the i7 7700K to i7 8700K. The only differences I could find are that 7700K has HD630 graphics vs UHD630 (but they look the same to me, right down to HDCP2.2 and H.265 10 bit support); 7700K lacks SIPP (Intel Stable Image Platform...
