It's an old and 6900
Is it even possible it is broke but still works fine up to or just after the login? During BIOS and win10 boot grapics everything is displayed.
In win10 it (the screen) usually goes black before it gets to the login screen, though this morning I could login and it was a...
As title
This happens in win 10 and Ubuntu.
The screen goes black in win 10 before I can even login and even in safe mode it happens after 2 mins.
In Ubuntu I can login but after a minute or two the screen goes black as well.
The light on the monitor stays green.
I'm thinking...
got it working
i swapped the ram into different slots to check all 4 slots worked - they did - and i know all 4 ram are ok
then tried again and it just worked - no idea why or what happened the first time
Hi all ******** [FIXED] ********
Back in 2011 i built PC based on an Intel Core i7-2600K 3.40GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 and this mobo:
Asus P8Z68-V PRO Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8Z68V_PRO/
with 2x4gb RAM:
Corsair Vengeance 8GB...
thanks - i had followed wazza300 advice and looked on mobo website but the latest versions they had seemed very old and certainly didn't reference win10
am a bit wary as you say "should install just fine" - what happens if they don't - could it break the system or is it something you can just...
do you mean the top one (only) on the list shown in the following link?

finally swapped to intel controller - and a big improvement :)
Seq read : 539
Seq write : 513
Random read : 64451
Random write : 59240
are random read/writes still a bit slow???
anyway, thanks all very much for the advice
cheers
rebooted and looked at BIOS
there is an advanced setting where AHCI is enabled, and also a separate setting for the Marvell controller where AHCI is also enabled - so far so good
still got to try swapping to the intel controller
am curious as to what speeds other win10 users are getting? -...
thats a BIOS setting? - or is it something i can find from windows
also does AHCI need applying to each controller - or is it just a global setting?
thanks
makes me feel a bit happier - sortof :p
might your speeds be due to SATA port being used like me? only if you are using an Intel port then maybe my Marvell port isn't the problem
thanks mattmos
At bootup BIOS it says its 6gbps - so hopefully that ok
if i change ports as suggested will that mess up the windows install or anything?
In the meantime any other suggestions welcome [gonna hold swapping SATA ports for a bit as it means removing graphics card]
cheers
Hi all
Just purchased my first ever SSD (from Overclockers UK) - a Samsung 850 EVO - and then installed Win10.
Installed the Samsung software and ran the tests with the following results:
Seq read : 375
Seq write : 260
Random read : 42617
Random write : 35664
Is this normal...
thanks - lots to digest - and most way above my knowledge :(
quick question about the partitioning:
/home # This takes up a whole disk / array of it's own
you mean you have a separate hard disk just for this i assume which i understand
however i am unsure how you would then use this...
Just used WUGFRESH for upgrade to 5.1.1 (from 5.1) on my unlocked/rooted Nexus 7 2013 LTE
It boots and works fine BUT it won't boot into recovery mode to make TWRP backups - i didn't get this problem when i did the same sort of upgrade to 5.1 (from 5.02) so not sure if i have done something...
Have tinkered with linux on and off for about the last 10 years bu now that steam does linux games i am thinking of switching for good so am going to set up up a test box.
OS will probably be Ubuntu or maybe Kubuntu.
What i need help/suggestions with are:
1) How to best partition the...
If Win10 is the last "version" of windows and it just becomes one rolling release then does that mean there is effectively no such thing as a "Retail" version you can move can move from PC to PC as that would give you Win10 for life as opposed to life of device. i.e. in future you may only be...
i thought it was only free for "the supported life of the device" - and microsoft haven't yet defined this
hopefully this will then clarify what happens if you upgrade bits of your PC and whther doing certain upgrades means you end up with a "new " device and therefore need a new license...
