The best part is that is looks like console EA saves carry over

I'm glad they stopped trying to blame people for playing on Win10

I dunno, I think this is better than, or at least on-par with, most of the Comedy Central seasons so far.

WTF, why would anyone think it’s a good idea for Windows Update to be able to flash a BIOS? Windows 10 can do this, or just 11? Is there a way to disable it?

While I don’t necessarily agree with @SoberChef (though, I do like and respect him), only 2 or maybe 3 people attempted to honestly engage with him in that RFK Jr thread, everyone else kept taking pot shots and being genuine douche bags rather than taking an extra minute to explain why RFK Jr is the giant fart noted in that thread. I can’t blame him for peaceing out from the discussion and not returning to it.

I recently had to drive through West Virginia. The amount of huge porno stores, and the amount of billboards advertising them, on the major highway was really something else.

I really like PDS Biotech's approach as well. Basically sets a "marker" on something and your white blood cells attack it. The focus is cancer but it looks like it works on viruses too. It's kind of like CAR-T therapy, but it uses your own white blood cells and seems to be more effective. The HPV-cancer treatment/vaccine they have in early Phase 3 trials seems to be 3.5-4x more effective than the ones currently out.

They haven't updated the BIOS for this motherboard in awhile. The only change for the last one was the security fix for AM4 Ryzen CPUs. I'm wondering if the last time I flashed the BIOS there was slight corruption and it just kinda became "more corrupted" over time, so reflashing it, despite it being the same version, fixed it. So weird.

… OKAY SOOOOOO I decided “let me flash my bios” even though I have the latest BIOS already, with the random thought that maybe the BIOS file was corrupted or something… after doing so my PC booted to Windows. …. wut

I updated to the newest nvidia drivers for Ratchet & Clank, that’s it. Apparently that can cause the issue, but people typically can get to the system repair from it, and it definitely shouldn’t stop the windows installer from loading off of a USB (especially when the m.2 with windows on it is physically removed from the system) Would I get a signal to my monitor if the PCIE slot was cracked? The system was fine until I rebooted, and I only rebooted because my Corsair LCD heatsink went blank (known and common bug) and the way to fix it is a reboot + power cycle. I didn’t notice any cracks or deformities on the PCIE slot when I took the GPU out earlier (removed it twice, once for the CMOS Battery + removing my second m.2, then a second time to put the m.2 back in). Nothing loads, just the spinning dots which either go forever (literally tried letting them spin for 90 minutes earlier) or lock up and freeze after a few seconds. It’s the same with windows and the system repair. Do you have a good source I can download it from?

Oh, I already had the power switch off (and the plug removed from the power supply) when I removed the CMOS battery since I pulled it away from where I normally keep it and laid it down on its side to pull my 4090 out. Since it won’t even boot the windows installer, I’m assuming that something is wrong with the motherboard, maybe? CPU doesn’t make sense to me, if it were the video card I don’t think I’d get a signal to the monitor, and PSU would likely be random crashes and not cause infinite spinning dots during windows boot

First method doesn’t seem to do anything (I’m on Win10) and the system repair won’t load either - just the infinite spinning dots or the dots freezing after a short bit. Windows installer won’t even load off of a USB

How do I attempt that?

No luck. Also tried removing my other m.2 since I had to pull out my 4090 to get to the cmos battery and the m.2 shield is behind the gpu. I’ll give it a shot

Can I run memtest without being able to get into windows? I don’t have an iGPU unfortunately, it’s a Ryzen 5900x: I can’t imagine it’s the video card anyway since I get an image and can enter BIOS. Temps are all fine. If this works I might commit seppuku

My PC was working fine, but after a reboot I suddenly get stuck on the windows 10 boot screen with the spinning dots. Either the dots spin eternally or they freeze up - the same thing happens when it tries to boot into the automatic repair. System posts fine and I can enter and change BIOS settings. Things I’ve tried: Unplugging all usb devices. Removing all system RAM and trying each of my 4 sticks individually. Unplugging secondary SATA hdd/ssd drives one at a time to see if one was failing and preventing a windows boot. None of these things worked. Lastly I tried creating a windows boot media from a secondary computer on a USB 3 flash drive, however, the media won’t load; it does the same thing with infinite spinning dots or the dots freezing after 10-30 seconds. I even tried removing the m.2 with Windows on it, but get the same freeze. I’m at a complete loss here on what the issue is.

Hey, we’re talking “good” not “great”.

I bet it’s has a 240hz 4k OLED screen with HDR1400

All at once, it’s completely out. Reviews are leaning towards good, but I haven’t watched it yet.

Dumb question, but you have a heatsink + thermal pad on it, right?

Samsung latest 990 Pro SSDs have a health problem - The Verge WWW.THEVERGE.COM Samsung’s Pro 990 SSD might be dying faster than expected. Check your 990 Pro health. They fixed the issue on newer ones and will send you a new one if you have one of the defective models iirc.
