    How do I send a mass email on gmail with the google excel sheet that I have?

    Posted: 24 Sep 2018 10:38 PM PDT

    I'm in a club, and I'm responsible for sending this email to everyone in our club, but I have never sent a mass email before.

    Do I have to input all the emails in my google excel sheet one by one? Is there a way that I can somehow just plug in ALL the emails in the google excel sheet at once? Either in "to" or "bbc"?

    Please help me, I don't want them to think I'm really dumb.

    Thanks everyone!

    [Spooky Windows 10] Task manager shows CPU at 100%, RAM at -1%, all other drives at 0%.

    Posted: 24 Sep 2018 09:42 PM PDT

    Signed into my computer just now and noticed it took especially long to bring me to the desktop - about 15 seconds instead of 5. The start menu wouldn't open once I got their clicked. No big deal, just a simple lockup - so I open task manager, and see that I now have 0.0GB memory and my usage is at -1%. GPU % wasn't shown.

    I signed out and back in, same thing. Decided to reboot, but I couldn't open the start menu, so I signed out, clicked the power icon from the sign-in screen, and Shut Down. It took about 5 minutes to shut down, then I see a BSOD:

    STOPCODE DRIVER POWERSTATE FAILURE

    I haven't installed any new software or devices recently that would require drivers. Now that the reboot has finished, everything seems back to normal. But it left me curious: what caused it? I couldn't find useful results for -1% memory usage on google.

    System Specs, in case that helps: i7-7700k, GTX 1070 Ti, 16GB DDR4, 750W PSU, 512GB SSD

    Thanks in advance

    Just built friend's new computer, so far every game he's downloaded has crashed.

    Posted: 24 Sep 2018 05:03 AM PDT

    Dead by Daylight: Gets through loading screem then crashes to desktop with no error message

    Abzu: gets through loading screen and gives error message about video card drivers not being installed (they are)

    Totally accurate battlegrounds: gets through loading screen and then within 30 seconds will crash with an error saying a Unity dll had a problem with itself

    Tried resolutions: turned off Windows Defender, Reinstalled Nvidia Drivers 411.63, changed card back to stock clock, restarting the computer.

    His specs are very capable: GTX 1060 6GB i5-8500 16GB RAM 550W PSU

    I'm going to try installing older drivers later today, but after that I'm kind of at a loss, maybe I could go and download DirectX, MS C++, and VisualStudio, but I'm not sure what to do. Now that I think about it, I never downloaded the latest drivers for his CPU, but I doubt that's the problem. Any suggestions are very much appreciated, thank you.

    edit: just realized that the night of building it we played tf2 without any crashes or problems, so maybe it has to do with more recent software

    UPDATE: REVERTING TO OLD DRIVERS WORKED THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HAS HELPED ME IN THIS THREAD, I ALSO INSTALLED THE LATEST CHIPSET DRIVERS THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU ALL!

    Failing HDD, anyway to get the data off it quickly?

    Posted: 24 Sep 2018 11:33 PM PDT

    HDD suddenly became very slow. Been checking the HDD with CrystalDiskInfo and the bad sectors are growing by the hours. 7000 Reallocated Sector Count at 6am this morning to more than 8200 at 4pm in the afternoon.

    I have been trying to get the data off it for the last couple of hours but the transfer rate is killing me-speed fluctuating between 0KB/s -1MB/s, avg around 300KB/s. With more than 800GB (i am kind of hoarder) to take out of it, it will take more than 30days... The files are mostly video clips and softwares so not all of them are irreplacable but my internet speed is around 700KB so getting them again is gonna be difficult.

    Is there anyway to transfer the files faster or i should just suck it up and re-download them later? Is the slow transfer rate caused by software as a precautionary measure against further damage to the drive or is the problem purely hardware related and there is no software magic to speed up the transfer?

    Internet speeds are fast but webpages load very slow.

    Posted: 24 Sep 2018 10:36 PM PDT

    Computers in my house get around 50mbps/15mbps (that's fast for Australia), but the actual speed at which we can load websites is at a crawl sometimes. If I connect my phone to my computer and use its data, my computer goes fast as normal, so it can't be my computer (I think).

    I'm not very familiar with tech stuff as far as networks and the internet are concerned, but any help would be appreciated.

    Snapchat using camera in the background ��

    Posted: 24 Sep 2018 06:57 PM PDT

    My phone has been alerting me lately that Snapchat's doing stuff in the background. When I look at the permission history log, it reads: "The apps below were detected using permissions in the background. [...]"

    It then lists three seperate times on the 21st. One time yesterday. Five times today.

    All of these were of Snapchat using my camera when I didnt have it open. It's a little funky. Is that normal? If I disable its permissions then I cannot use the app to communicate with friends. Can anything be done? (I have an s9 if that helps. I've only ever recieved these notifications on this phone.) Thank you in advanced! 😊

    Spam Emails Getting Past Filter, Can't Unsubscribe

    Posted: 24 Sep 2018 10:29 PM PDT

    I've been getting spam emails that share the same... parent company...? That's the best description I can think of. Each time they come through I try to go to the Unsubscribe link and they all come to the same screen but with the "Unsubscribe from _______" changed. Each has the "Bilco Media" in the corner too. I get at least one, sometimes two every day for the past couple of weeks. They're never the same email address, promotion, or company, but they all end up leading to that same unsubscribe page. I could definitely use some help or direction. Thank you.

    Edit: This is a Yahoo email address

    Bought a new SSD and installed Windows 10 on it. PC is now LAGGING.

    Posted: 24 Sep 2018 08:42 PM PDT

    So here's the deal.

    I've decided to buy a new SSD to make things go better and faster. I got the Kingston 240gig SSD and connected it inside my PC tower. I download a Windows boot thingy from Microsoft that I copy onto a USB.

    Power up. Plug in the USB. Boot the installation. Install Windows, yadda yadda yadda.... Now, everything works well. I have an old Windows 10 running smoothly. Google Chrome is working, my Wifi is working... However, the screen resolution is too small, drivers are missing and my second monitor isn't detected.

    So, I decide to run Windows Update. It takes about 30 minutes but everything is done.

    NOW. This is the part that sucks. Everything is downloaded and updated... BUT the computer is lagging by intermittence and Chrome is not working anymore ("Site can't be reached") However, Internet Explorer and Edge are fully working.

    What is happening??

    Some specs:

    AMD Ryzen 7 1700x (3.40 GHz) 8 GB DDR4

    MSI B350M Nazooka

    Nvidia GEForce GTX 1060 3GB

    Windows 10 Home 64-Bit

    Bought the PC here: https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883230273&_ga=2.134253617.1787618158.1537846753-79984644.1537846752

    I'd like to know why things went downhill with my SSD? Everything worked perfectly well when I was using my old drive with the pre-built PC.

    Pixels and lines on pc screen

    Posted: 25 Sep 2018 12:22 AM PDT

    Hello Reddit.

    I built a gaming pc for myself a while ago now and it has been working fine for a long time. As of last week, however, I have encountered issues regarding pixels all over my screen. I do not know how to describe it but it only shows up on some images, such as profiles on discord and YouTube video thumbnails. I have attempted to see if it affects google images but it does not. The strangest case of this is on some games I play such as counter-strike where the background of the game (only the loading screen) shows the pixels. There is an attached link of what is happening for YouTube thumbnails and CSGO.

    https://imgur.com/a/aQMOjWv

    My pc is not overclocked and everything is stock.I run two monitors, one is brand new and one is over five years old and the issue occurs on both. I have not found similar cases online so i decided to post my own thread here. Hopefully someone smarter can help a brother out with this one.

    Thanks,

    PC doesnt turn on, RAM issue

    Posted: 25 Sep 2018 03:55 AM PDT

    My pc has been running properly for over a year without any significant hardware interventions.

    I travelled with it by car to my dorm and started setting it up, cables, power, location etc.

    The problem is the pc was turning on, but i was getting no signal on my monitor, and also the sound it does wasnt the same. (When it turns on properly i can hear a faint 'initialisation sound' (best way i can describe it) which i think comes from the hard drives spinning , not sure though.)

    I started my troubleshooting procedure and checked everything without dismatling every component, everything seemed fine. Cleared the bios multiple times, checked the cpu placement... I moved on to the RAM and found some weird things happening. My mb has 2 slots, i used a 4gb stick and an 8gb stick, both of them Kingston hyperx fury red. Now i can only use the 4gb stick in the 1st slot (the one closest to the cpu). I tried every possible combination and it wont work( 4 + 8, 8+4, 8 - 0, nothing but 4-0 works). A friend helped me and brought me some other DDR3 memory sticks but again, it wont work with them(in any combination. So the only possible way to use my computer right now is by using the 4gb memory stick from kingston.

    Specs:

    MB: MSI H81M-P33

    CPU: Intel i5 4570

    GPU: MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X 6G

    PSU: 450W Sirtec ECO 2 (it is enough power for my whole system)

    RAM: 4GB+8GB Kingston HyperX Fury Red

    SSD: Kingston 120GB V300

    HDD: WD Blue 1TB + Old Samsung 160GB

    I really wish the problem isnt the motherboard, so i hope you guys can guide me through finding a solution.

    Any suggestions or questions appreciated.

    Recover Text messages from Android phone

    Posted: 25 Sep 2018 03:51 AM PDT

    Hi

    My android phone (Xiaomi Mi4) screen broke a few weeks back. It appears to still work otherwise fine, charging and notification lights illuminate etc appropriately.

    I have text messages on the phone I need to recover. Is there an way to do this without access to the screen itself? I can't even use the screen to confirm allowing usage of a screen mirror etc.

    4K@60hz with my laptop

    Posted: 25 Sep 2018 03:51 AM PDT

    Hi,

    I have Asus ROG GL752VW with nVidia GeForce GTX 960M and a 4k monitor Philips BDM 4350 connected with miniDisplayPort - DisplayPort which supports 4k.

    Initially I used a HDMI cable but the 4k resolution was at 30hz refresh rate, so I google it and I found that I need a DP cable (or HDMI 2.0).

    Now I have the DP cable but I'm still having the same problem. 3860x2160@30Hz.

    I dont think my laptop is setting the monitor connection through my Nvidia Chipset and is using the Intel HD Graphics 530...

    Any solutions or what I'm doing wrong or if my laptop actually doesn't support 4k@60hz. Thank you!

    Computer POSTing but not booting with GPU installed.

    Posted: 25 Sep 2018 03:48 AM PDT

    Hi guys,

    Any normal day, i've been running my PC fine for 3-5 years... turned it on, loaded up Rust and my PC crashed to a white screen? Never seen a white screen crash before...

    Rebooted, computer came back up fine, loaded up Saints Row IV to test if it was JUST one game, but crashed to white screen again...

    Rebooted but then didn't boot up?? It beeps once (successful POST) but my keyboard lights don't come on and it doesn't do anything??

    What's strange is - I took the GPU out, booted and it crashed again... Took all three RAM sticks out (i have 1 8Gb and 2x 4GB sticks, which I've had for years) put one in at a time til I found the one that crashes... it was the 8GB stick... so I thought "Cool, sorted!"... Put the GPU back in, no boot??? POSTs but doesn't go anywhere?? Take GPU out, instant boot??? if my RAM stick and GPU have both died at the same time, what the f**k has caused this?? Maybe my PSU is on its way out and has surged the components??? Is that possible?

    Any help I'd appreciate, I need to know whats the problem, I can't afford to keep replacing certain parts until it works.

    PS. i've done all the basics such as Reseating, pretty much taking whole lot out and reseating it, checked all connections etc. All seems completely fine? Not to mention I haven't even touched it for years so it shouldn't have unplugged anything

    Microsoft rewards problem at redeeming

    Posted: 25 Sep 2018 03:15 AM PDT

    I have lots of points in Microsoft rewards but I can't redeem anything. for example a simple 60min Skype credit. I go to the redeem page, I choose the Skype credit and it takes me to another page where it asks me for my phone number, I enter my number, which is a US number and the same one added to my account security info, and after that the next page says: "there is an issue with your account."

    does anyone else have this problem. am I doing something wrong or missing something?

    How to save a file on macbook locally?

    Posted: 25 Sep 2018 03:11 AM PDT

    i'm planning to not let iCloud sync my "desktop and documents folders" because it's taking up too much space (i only have 5.0 GB and its at 4.7 GB), i have read online that i should move the files to somewhere locally on the macbook before i do this.

    So I am wondering how can i save them locally on a macbook? i am new to mac.

    Would moving the documents into a folder i create in the "applications" or "downloads" tab on the macbook considered saving it locally (and not in the iCloud)?

    Additional question, how do i create a new tab under the "favourites"? So far i only see Airdrop, Recents, Applications and Downloads, but i want to create another main tab under here?

    Performance throttling on battery

    Posted: 24 Sep 2018 09:09 PM PDT

    My laptop is running terribly when unplugged. So terrible I can't even watch YouTube without stuttering every now and then. When on battery my CPU is undervolted by -140mV. My integrated GPU is updated to the latest driver. Is the CPU really supposed to be running on a clock speed lower than its base speed when unplugged? My CPU has a base speed of 2.2 GHz but it usually runs between 800-1500 MHz when unplugged. Is there any way to fix this so I can enjoy watching YouTube videos even if my laptop is unplugged?

    CPU: i7-8750H

    GPU: GTX 1060 Max-Q

    RAM: 8 GB (2x4GB)

    Windows 10 update crashing my computer

    Posted: 25 Sep 2018 02:49 AM PDT

    My 5/6 year old laptop (Samsung 770Z5E) is forcing me to restart 2/3 times a day to finish installing the latest updates.

    However, each time it does this it crashes on restart. I have to manually turn it off and back on until it decides to "restore to your previous version of Windows" which works fine until the next time it forces a restart.

    Solutions I've tried: disabling windows update on "services.msc". Changing the reboot file name in the windows update folders to "reboot.old" and creating a folder called "reboot".

    What is strange is that when it has restored my previous version of Windows, it still says I am up to date on the windows update settings and that there is no download history.

    Another important point is that I had to have my hard drive replaced a week ago and my windows reinstalled.

    Is there any way to stop my laptop from restarting?

    Intel Nuc brightness dims when on white background

    Posted: 25 Sep 2018 02:40 AM PDT

    Yesterday I setup an Intel Nuc (connected to an LG TV) and everything is great except the screen dims when it's covered in white. So for example if I load up YouTube it will automatically dim but when the videos appear on the page it will brighten up again.

    I have tried every Googled explanation such as adaptive brightness and Intel Graphics power saver and everything is as it should be but the problem persists. Also, it's an instant dim if that helps. Thanks.
