Hey guysss! Does anyone know why my pc would be power cycling when starting up? I can catch it on the ASUS screen and open bios and it will stay on but it will not stay on after. I left for the store and shut down my pc like usual with no issues before doing so and when I came back it was saying there was an issue starting up and that I needed to reset windows. I’ve done this once before just to have a fresh start on my computer and never had any issues. I chose the local reinstall because my computer has a USB WiFi card and I don’t know if windows just didn’t install and that’s why or if it’s just a part issue. My computer was built in 2019 so it is pretty old.

Hey everyone,
I'm currently looking to upgrade my computer's storage and I've come across two options: the Kingston NV1 and the Kingston NV2. However, I'm a complete newbie when it comes to SSDs, so I'm hoping to get some advice from the community.
First off, I'm a bit confused about the differences between these two SSDs. They're both from Kingston, but I'm not sure which one would be the better choice for me.
I've seen that the NV2 is newer, but does that automatically mean it's better? Or are there other factors I should be considering?
Additionally, I've noticed terms like NVMe and M.2 being mentioned in discussions about SSDs, but I'm not sure what they mean or how they affect performance. Can someone break it down for me in simple terms?
If anyone has any experience using either the Kingston NV1 or the Kingston NV2, I would really appreciate hearing about it. Did you notice any significant differences in speed or reliability? And are there any other factors I should consider before making my decision?
I just want to make sure I'm making the right choice for my upgrade, so any advice or insights would be incredibly helpful. Thanks in advance for your help!

Well it finally happened. My Elantra was stolen (on my birthday too - go figure) and has thankfully been recovered, but the ignition and a window were completely f*cked. Obviously this has me pretty pissed off and i’m planning to trade my Hyundai in in the near future, but until then, any anti theft advice? I had a brake/steering wheel lock on, and that was busted and thrown in the back, so looking for something stronger in the interim. Also, if you ditched your Hyundai after having it stolen, would love to hear what car you chose and why. Overall, looking to just hear how folks dealt with this post theft and just some advice on how to move forward here - I don’t think I can deal with the constant anxiety moving forward after having this happen to me.

Hi there! I cannot find the solution and have no more hair to pick out of my head.
I have two Arista 7050sx-72Q at the core layer in an MLAG configuration (software image version 4.27.4M) and connect or downstream to two Cisco C9500K (stackwise) switches. Let me explain my network topology.
The two Arista are the core switches and the Cisco C9500K is the new distribution layer switch, and the MS Windows server domain controlleDHCP server is connected directly to the core switches on the same subnet/VLAN native 4. The core switches have a downstream connection to the distribution layer switches. The Dist. layer switches have the command "IP helper-address" on the SVI VLANs since the DIST. layer switches have downstream links to access switches where the host connects. Our situation is that some computers in the same or different VLANs (VLAN 60 & 61 during our troubleshooting scenario) get a valid IP address and others take forever or get an APIPA.
Right now, we have to put everything back, meaning, the Cisco C9500K has been taken offline and connected back the Arista to the Aruba switch since this only happens when we connect the Cisco C9500K.
I am missing something here? Is the Arista not playing nice with Cisco? All works well when we plug back the Arista with the Aruba switch.
I have performed a packet capture, and DHCP does relay the information. See info on Cisco C9500K troubleshooting:

To get this up early, I’m splitting the two days of round 2. Here’s Wednesday’s ATP. The WTA Wednesday matches will go up around 12:30AM EST.

Rublev vs Martinez :

For a good chunk of his career, Rublev has made quick work of matches like this. When he’s the bigger hitter and his opponent doesn’t have a huge serve, he’s supposed to thrive. Lately though, Andrey hasn’t been automatic in these spots. He’s always had a temper, but it’s been on display following his errors lately and it has given his opponents belief. Taro Daniel won a set, and Martinez is at least as good as him. 5 sets with Tirante doesn’t indicate he’s ready to upset Rublev, but I would expect the bulk of this to be fairly competitive. Rublev in 4.

Muller vs Arnadli :

Muller scored a comfortable victory against Luca Nardi in the opening round, and he will continue to battle the Italian federation in round two against Matteo Arnaldi. Arnaldi had a fairly easy time with Arthur Fils, despite getting broken 6 times. Fils is a solid player with all the attributes to be a top player on clay, but he has no patience. He’s extremely willing to go for broke from any position, and when the rally stretches long he tries to hit the big shot as soon as it appears. As a fan, I want to see big shots, but to win on clay you need to play a more conservative approach. Arnaldi is way more stable from the baseline than Fils, but bailing out of rallies early isn’t the right plan because it means Arnaldi doesn’t really feel like he has to do anything special to win.
Muller will hang in rallies longer and is a good bit better than Fils on clay, but he doesn’t have this level of win on his resume yet. Arnaldi’s register is very high and I mostly only see him losing to players who hit bigger. I expect him to have to work harder and longer than he did against Fils, but this should go to Arnaldi in 3-4.

Sonego vs Zhang :

Immense power. A huge forehand. Inconsistent results. A cannon of a serve but a slightly subpar backhand. Which player am I describing? This is a matchup that is very close. Humbert fell apart against Koepfer last week in Lyon and his slump continued, allowing Sonego to get a much-needed win. Zhang had a great draw and took advantage of it, besting Vukic in 4. The big difference I see in these two players is the speed. Sonego is a bit quicker around the court and that might allow him to win a few extra points. Given they both have the ability to protect their service games I would expect a tiebreaker or two, and at least 4 sets. I’m a big Zhang fan but he hasn’t been as good on clay as he was in the Challenger grind, so Sonego in 4-5.

Altmaier vs Tsitsipas :

Tsitsipas was clinical in beating Fucsovics in round one. He’s back with Badosa, he’s a dark horse to win this event, and he’s playing great tennis. Having that focus is big for a player who’s struggled for confidence, and Altmaier is a player he can probably beat. Daniel has always been capable on clay, and he has some amazing clashes with big name players like Sinner in the past, but lately I haven’t loved his level. Beating an inactive Djere was honestly good, but I think Tsitsipas is fresh and will be hitting the ball bigger the entire match here. Altmaier moves the ball well but he will very likely get worn down as this progresses. Tsitsipas in 4.

Shelton vs Nishikori :

Nishikori pulling up and beating one of the better qualifiers was impressive, but I guess if we’re being honest Diallo isn’t automatic yet. He has a bright future, but big hitters can often be undone by a slick defender and Nishikori has all the experience in the world. I think this will be fun because Shelton is a lefty. Attacking Nishikori’s backhand will get him punished up the line and cross-court, because Kei has one of the best backhands the tour has ever seen. The downside is Kei just played a five setter so he might be a bit tired, and he’s not serving well enough to score easy points. Shelton’s team hopefully has told him to take his forehand inside out and down the line as often as possible. Shelton in 4.

Auger-Alliassime vs Squire :

Gutsy performance in round one from Squire. Even in the fifth set tiebreak he was still hitting his backhand down the line for effect, and while he double faulted in a few crucial moments he served effectively the entire match. I’m not sure how his game will fare against Felix. FAA is inconsistent but he’s had a good month and he does everything a little bigger than Squire here. Felix in 3-4.

Korda vs Kwon :

Korda winning in straight sets is honestly surprising the way it feels like his season is going. Checking his history though he’s been winning his fair share of matches, it’s just watching his losses that makes me feel he’s struggling. More surprising is Kwon winning in straights. Ruusuvuori continues to struggle on clay and Kwon returning from a layoff to black him is a great result for him. His insistence on pushing the pace and hitting to the open court will bother Korda a bit, but he’s a bit out of his weight class here. Korda’s serving is good enough to get him through here, but Kwon winning in straights means expecting him to just lose in straights is pretty unreasonable. Korda in 4-5. The problem here is Korda is supposed to win this in straights, but Kwon is supposed to lose round one so he’s at a level beyond what we’re estimating him at when we say Korda in 3.

De Jong vs Alcaraz :

Jesper De Jong won the best match of his career in round one, getting past Jack Draper and setting up a matchup against the current tournament favorite. It almost has to be the end of the road, but De Jong will give us our first look at how Alcaraz is playing. Carlos was immaculate in round one, losing only 4 games, but Wolf is just not good on clay, and is having one of his worst runs ever on tour. Alcaraz in 3 is likely again because De Jong doesn’t have the hugest serve, but this will be much more competitive than the Wolf match. Alcaraz in 3-4.

Hurkacz vs Nakashima :

Considering Mochizuki took Hurkacz to 5, Nakashima has to like his chances here. Mochigoat is one of the fun players to watch on tour and his volleys at net are unreal, but Hurkacz is supposed to win that match in a safe manner. Now he’s playing Nakashima who won against Moreno De Alboran in a solid performance, and has been grinding clay events the entire year, using them almost exclusively to earn his way back into the top 100. Hurkacz won’t necessarily struggle as much in this one; it’s fairly common on tour for players to squeak through a strugglebus performance and feel like they’re freerolling in the next round. You already should have been out, so you play with no pressure and your best tennis comes out.
Hubert’s serve can get him to the finish line against pretty much anyone as well, so Nakashima will have to lock in and try to wear Hurkacz down. It may sound silly, but Isner used to struggle more against the guys that couldn’t ace him. Putting the serve return in is great, but if the other player is a solid baseliner, it means you’re playing 6-8 shot rallies over and over. This can take the legs away from a big server, and Nakashima fits this bill. While I’m bullish on Nakashima here, I think it’s more likely that this will be close enough that anyone can win, and whoever plays the big points better will. A server like Hurkacz in tiebreakers is pretty efficient, and playing a servebot in a 5th is a really tough ask if they’re serving first. Honestly, I saw this match in the draw and thought Nakashima was 50/50, so I’m sticking with it. Nakashima in 5.

Shapovalov vs Tiafoe :

Shapovalov is winning tennis matches again. It’s great to see, but he’s in Dimitrov territory for me. Sure he’s winning, but I’m not going near it because I don’t want to get hurt again. His opponent this round is a player whose range of play goes from “does he even play tennis anymore?” to “omg he’s going to win the US Open” Bellucci almost had Tiafoe, and a few big returns for Tiafoe ended up being the key in the end. Tiafoe will probably be competitive here, and playing a lefty the round before means his backhand got a good workout and he’ll be comfortable with the generic patterns that a lefty will bring. Shapovalov hits bigger than Tiafoe regularly, and it will take a big step up in effort/consistency from Tiafoe to win this. Given his serving ability and the underlying ability to play top level tennis, being sure Tiafoe will lose here doesn’t make sense. I’m expecting a match where both players will be pretty frustrated at times, and I think the one who’s more willing to lock in and play stingy defensive tennis will win. For once, that seems to be Shapo. Shapovalov in 4-5.

Bergs vs Marterer :

There were some wild first round results, but Tabilo losing quickly to Zizou Bergs was one of the biggest. Not only does he get a huge result, but he’s a favorite to win his second round also. Marterer has gotten a lot of respect and fallen short on tour for a few seasons, but he made good on the respect and beat Thompson in 3. Marterer is a powerful lefty who crushes the ball, and the one problem with his game is he sort of plays at one speed. Hitting big is great but he sometimes plays his opponents into form by showing them the same pace over and over. Shapovalov had a similar problem during his slump as well. Marterer shouldn’t be counted out of this match at all, but Bergs is much quicker around the court and I think Maximilian’s backhand will get worn down eventually. Bergs in 4.

Maroszan vs Dimitrov :

I’ll take tickets to this match. Both are through in straight sets, and both hit extremely clean and play skilled tennis. Maroszan can win this match, but I think Dimitrov’s ability to defend will eventually get him through. Maroszan’s power and forehand are good enough to hit some winners, but he also scores a lot off of dropshots. I think it’s still a viable option, but Dimitrov’s speed will make it a risky option. Expecting a high level clash here and when both players are extremely skilled sets usually get traded. Dimitrov in 4 is what I suspect, but since it’s his defense I expect to get him across the finish line this could easily go 5. Maroszan is really good, and it’s just fitness and decision-making that are left for him to work on.

Moutet vs Shevchenko :

Moutet’s coach got a bit spicy before the Jarry match, allegedly mad about fans’ behavior in the Moutet Jarry clash in Chile. It seemed to work, as Moutet played some of the best tennis he ever has and beat Jarry in 4 exhilarating sets. That same level should win this contest, but a slightly different style of opponent can complicate things. Shevchenko is a plucky baseliner and he will make Moutet earn all his points. He managed to outlast Karatsev in round one in a 5 set clash that had a million changes in momentum and 21 breaks. Moutet’s level was higher, but besting another offense is sometimes a simpler task. Shevchenko is going to put the ball in annoying spots and try to outlast Moutet, so this is a mental test. I think Moutet is up for it, but I could see it taking some time to happen. Moutet in 4.

Ofner vs Baez :

Gustavo Heide should be on everyone’s radar now. He hits the ball huge and clean, and has one of the better serves from the young crop of talents on tour. Honestly, when I first saw him 2 years ago I think he was a servebot and an old guy, and now his baseline game has developed in a major way and somehow he’s 22. Stay still Gustavo! Baez had this mostly wrapped up and Heide was tired, and then he won 2 lopsided sets in a row. I was expecting Baez to go on a run here, and he played Ruud close in Geneva so this is a good reprieve for him (playing Ofner). Ofner beat Atmane in 5 and he has the power to compete with Baez, but not the consistency. The 5 setter with Heide was surprising, but I’m willing to chalk it up to Heide’s high level rather than Baez being a flight risk. Baez in 4.

Kotov vs Wawrinka :

Hehe. Kinda fair for these two to play each other. If there were any two players to look both ways during a changeover and then sneak a cupcake out of their bag and scarf it, it’s these two offensive wizards. Kotov managed to outlast Norrie which is honestly a tremendous win, and Wawrinka continued his clay dominance against Murray in a straight set win. Kotov is a little better and has more stamina at this point, but Wawrinka is serving well and I expect him to win at least 1 of the first two sets.
Wawrinka has been losing to a lot of players right around Kotov’s level recently (Martinez in 2, ARV in 3, Borges in 3) so it’s tempting but tricky to declare him a winner. Tennis-wise, my brain won’t let me see Kotov winning. Pavel serves well and hits big, and for a guy who appears out of shape he wins a lot of marathon matches and has good power late in the game. 5 sets with Norrie isn’t going to help him here, and if Wawrinka can get up 2-0 or 2-1 it could easily be goodnight just because he can then open up. Norrie is a tough out, but on clay his shots don’t really clear the court. Wawrinka is almost a clay specialist at this point in his career, and he serves a lot bigger than Cam also.
This is wide open, and if I could skip a match, it’d be this one. Wawrinka in 4 or Kotov in 5. Stan needs to win quickly, but his recent results don’t make it realistic. You can point to him smoking Murray, but Murray is really a gimme these days on clay.

Gasquet vs Sinner :

Jannik Sinner has filled the void that the gradual departure of the big 3 is creating. He was always a tremendous player, but now he’s become extremely reliable at that level. His returning is world class, his serve is constantly improving, and his baseline game is now measured and tactical rather than an all-out assault. He knows when to just put the ball in play, and his footwork is constant. I love it. Gasquet turned back the clock and smoked Coric in straight sets, but the road probably ends here. This will be a high-level match and the crowd will be behind Gasquet in a major way. Jannik is a classy kid and will understand the atmosphere and respect it enough to navigate to the finish line. Sinner in 3-4.

Hey everyone,
I'm looking to upgrade my computer's storage and I'm stuck between two options: the Samsung 970 EVO Plus and the Samsung 980. I'm pretty new to all this, so I'm hoping to get some advice from the community.
First off, can anyone tell me the main differences between these two SSDs? I've heard that they're both from Samsung, but I'm not sure which one would be the better choice for me.
I've read some good things about the 970 EVO Plus, but then I saw that the 980 is newer. Does that mean it's automatically better, or are there other factors I should consider?
Also, I'm not really sure what the technical specs mean. I've seen terms like NVMe and PCIe, but I'm not sure how they affect performance. Can someone explain it to me in simple terms?
If anyone has any experience using either of these SSDs, I would love to hear about it. Did you notice a big difference in speed or reliability between the two? And is there anything else I should know before making my decision?
I just want to make sure I'm getting the best SSD for my needs, so any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!

So here’s how my ocd been treating me for the past 4 years, Hearing the news to articles to coworkers to pretty much any social media is this overwhelming sense of helplessness and dread fill me to the point of mental decline at such a young and fast rate, the fear started when I was 12, but as I got older it was much more intense, especially with the media nowadays? Forget it. (E.g 2020, I would lock myself away in a closet with no light or widows because I had such a fear of seeing an asteroid fall from the sky, I would rather be blinded than see it all before I go for 9 months, I was on seroquel, kepra, and Xanax at the time, this was all because I read a article about some meteor being really close to earth but not actually hitting earth. I misinterpreted it all, and believe it for 9 whole fucking months.) I would I would have imagined scenarios of asteroids hitting the earth whenever drove around or whenever I look out my window or be around a peaceful part of the Forest, it’s overwhelming and ruining my quality of life so of course MMJ was necessary and a last resort for me, I’ve been on many and various medications but none of them helping as much as MMJ did, but then the sense of being seen as lazy and all that stigma has me feeling like I really don’t need it at all, hence the shame being so overwhelming that I just stop and then wonder why my brain is going 900mph. So of course I need to be on top of it even if it’s a small dose. I have such a fear of death, demise and doomsday scenarios that I also barely eat at all, because while I live in America, the food quality with the amount of chemicals drive me away, and with fruits and veggies, all the thoughts, such as “this could have pesticides or e.coli or tiny maggots” overcloud a simple action (eating.) only way I can even eat at all if it’s my brain being stoned, I’m also ashamed of it.
It’s been driving me nuts not knowing what this is called. If this also helps, I also have autism, c-pstd and BPD.

So I went to go start up my computer one day and for some reason or another every once in a while it got stuck at the “in search of incredible, ASUS” screen with the windows 11 Loading Circle. It would spin around about 3/4 of the way and then it would just freeze.
I thought something was up maybe with the image so I ran a couple of repair utilities back to back, and it didn’t do it again for a couple weeks. Now yesterday happens and now it won’t boot at all, so I tried new ram, thinking that maybe it hit a dead spot in the ram, but still the same, I swapped out to a different hard drive and said screw it just thinking I would image it no luck, so then I thought OK maybe the motherboards bad so I bought a new motherboard and still doing the exact same thing with my hard drive in it and it also is doing the exact same thing with a portable USB drive that I created to try and re-image it, so I’m at a bit of a loss and thought this would be a good place to reach out.

So... my mom has never really been loving. My dad had/had PTSD. It is his way or the highway. My mom will straight up tell people "I learned to ignore him", "I never wanted another kid, I should've got my tubes tied after the first one, his dad is the only reason I didn't get an abortion". She will buy me things, and then when i'm telling her she is acting horribly yelling at me for something minimal (not writing a note in the cashapp for example) and then say "I wasn't treating you horribly when I bought you this thing earlier!!"
I don't remember the last time I got a hug from either one of my parents.
My parents never actually helped me get my license, they claim they "Tried to teach me!!" but got about 20 driving hours for me, refused to fill out the time sheets, and would yell and freak out at every mistake I made on the road. They bought me a barely driveable $900 grandam @ 18 after I was told i'd get a new car when I graduated (I am 22 and graduated in 2020) I was expecting like a decent condition 2007-2008 car that would reliably get me from point a to point b but was bought a 2002 wrecked grandam with hood latches due to deer wreck damage and struts so bad that the back end would slide out from under it on minimal potholes and tires that I had the fill back up daily to keep it off the ground. I had to eventually buy my own car (they never helped me fix it depaite my dad being a literal jet mechanic) and drive it back and forth from work illegally until I got good enough at driving to get my license, because it was apparently easier for my mom to continue driving me to work on her lunch break and picking me up from work at 7 then to spend a few weekends and hours after work some days with me preparing for a drivers test.
Both my mother and my dad would get physically aggressive and spank pretty excessively but not to the point where I was like "this is abuse". As I grew older and grew to be a bigger teenager it turned into them moreso actually trying to physically fight me, me running as to avoid a fight as they yelled things like "I'M GOING TO RIP YOUR F***ING HEAD OFF" and locking myself in my room or running around outside until they were no longer violently angry.
One time I got a full blown blender thrown at my shoulder as a kid because I didn't help my dad find his shoes when he was late to meet some of his work friends, he also in that instance chased me a quarter way down our street (thankfully I was like 16 5'10 and fast) before going home and cooling down.
One time he also threw a tape measure at my shin and I still have a mark in my shin bone from that.
Lots of promises that were never kept and were forgot about. "If you help me with this massive months long hard process I will buy you shing expensive thing" helps and never gets said thing but gets yelled at the whole time for not doing things "the right way"
My mom also called me ugly as a kid, told people in front of me (and I quote) "Yeah I was pissed when he came out with red hair, i don't like red heads!"
She would tell people I was a little bastard and would tell them the amount of adhd medication I was on and how it was enough for like 2 adults (i already started questioning why the hell I was on that amount of adhd medication in the first place, i was basically m37hed out on adderall and vyvanse and concerts as a 7-14 year okd kid)
One time she bought me a pokeball as a kid at walmart, and our way home I did something she didn't like and she grabbed the pokeball and chucked it out the window and bragged to people about it
One year my brother got a laptop and an ipod and some other stuff and ya boy got some action figures
My mom thrrows a fit that I don't "contribute in the house" or clean when I stick to my area of the house, don't use the kitchen or dishes (i have my own dishes I use and I eat out mainly so i don't have to deal with them) and don't created that messes that need to be cleaned up and I keep my areas of the house clean. I could probably go count 7 wrappers and 6 pop cans and 3 plates down on our kitchen bar right now and I do not spend any time in the kitchen but I am apparently supposed to clean that stuff up as well as do the dishes that I don't use.
My dad will say "Here i'll tell you what you need to do" and if I do anything other than agree with him he will say "well then you're f***int stupid"
My dad would get violently angry at you if there was a tiny piece of lettuce in his taco or anything but meat and cheese on his burger and if you laugh at him for how ridiculous he is reacting he redirects that anger and amplifies it towards you
My parents and brother would kinda gang up and do things that would "trigger" me and laugh and yell at me when I reacted badly.
I just want confirmation that this is narccisism. I've been looking for what to call my experience with my parents for a while and I think this is it.

Hi I am having trouble booting the windows install iso file onto my computer. Everytime I boot it from bios it just kicks me out and leaves me where I was previously (as in video) I bought a new flash drive and installed it to this one as well so any help would be much appreciated!

My Dynaudio audio keeps ?Muting? at random, sometimes constant and sometimes every few seconds. Volume level does not matter, source does not matter. I cannot figure this out for the life of me. Even with Stock Radio this happens.
I've inspected the amps electronics and everything seems fine, nothing blown. I've replaced every single internal and external Fuse (Prev owner did not maintain the vehicle well) but not the relays, New battery (Costco H6 AGM), Tried every radio configuration settings on the Android head unit (built in amp on and off). I ordered a replacement BCM off ebay today in hopes that its just dying because of other faults I've seen (image below)
does anyone have any idea what could cause this and how I may be able to fix it? I have OBDEleven Pro if that helps.
Please help :(

For a while now, I have been experiencing random shutdowns on my PC with Reason Code: 0x500ff. I recently built a new PC and the only 2 pieces that I transferred from the old PC are my GPU and the M.2 SSD.
When I look through Event Viewer, this is the only event that I can find that seems relevant (Event ID 1074). After some Googling some, other users have mentioned looking for more events with the same code happening around the same time, which there are none.
The process C:\Windows\system32\winlogon.exe (MELON-DESKTOP) has initiated the power off of computer MELON-DESKTOP on behalf of user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM for the following reason: No title for this reason could be found
Reason Code: 0x500ff
Shutdown Type: power off

My temps have been fine and all drivers are up to date. My biggest thought is that it could be my GPU coming up on the end of its lifespan as I've had it for nearly 6 years now and it's one of 2 pieces that I transferred from the old PC. I can't currently afford a new GPU, but I'm hoping to see if I can verify my theory that my issue is with the GPU and not anything else.
