| Posted: 01 May 2021 08:37 AM PDT Hey all, I'm back again. So I've got myself a good replacement laptop for the old one that went bust. Here starts the complication. I'll explain the hardware and then what I'm trying to do. Both laptops LENOVO T560 One died off (RAM and hard drive salvaged). The second is new and works perfectly. Hard drive 1: Samsung EVO PRO 850 Hard drive 2: generic SSD The objective: have Samsung SSD be the hard drive that I can use on the new laptop. The current situation is as follows: The new laptop works fine and I've removed the Samsung SSD from the old laptop. I can connect the Samsung up to the new laptop via USB and it works perfectly as an external drive. Problems: If I replace the generic SSD with the Samsung SSD in the laptop it does not startup and gives me an error telling me there's a recovery issue. Factors: the Samsung drive is password protected but I have the password so when prompted to input it, I do and it proceeds as normal until the recovery message. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Adjusting a legal formatted PDF Posted: 01 May 2021 01:55 PM PDT I got a PDF I need to sign, and it's formatted for legal paper (8.5x14 inches) as opposed to letter (the more common 8.5x11 inches) and the bottom was cut off. Is there a free/open source PDF parser that would allow me to either shrink the margins on the sides, or clip the top three inches of the page, rather than the bottom 3 inches? FWIW, my computer is Windows 10. I also have an iOS tablet. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Different Visual issues for Different Apps, Websites, etc. PLS HELP Can't afford to re-invest. Posted: 30 Apr 2021 10:23 PM PDT How's it going everyone, I'll get right to the chase, I know some stuff but not nearly enough. Hence why I am now here. The issue: I recently "upgraded" my computer going from an old Intel i5 with 16gb of ram and a GTX 970 to an AMD cpu with 64gb of ram and a GTX 1650 Super and am encountering several different visual anomalies. In chronological order of errors encountered, lets start with the first game I tried, Escape from Tarkov. I encountered Screen Tearing when looking around quickly and then FPS drops when going through certain areas of a map. I played around with both the Nvidia Control panel and game-settings and got it sorted out, I did not think of it too much just because Tarkov is a very "finicky" game and figured the settings may have just been mismatched due to the performance difference going from a 970 to a 1650. Next, I was watching Hulu, after 15-20 minutes, a gray rectangle would appear in the upper left of the viewer containing blue or purple pixels scattered throughout, it'd only occur for maybe a frame to a second before disappearing, it'd repeat throughout the rest of my viewing. No one on google seems to have the same issue as I spent hours looking for a solution. Occasionally I could refresh the page and it'd play at 480p quality with no rectangle, but anytime it was HD it'd get the rectangle problem. Hardware Acceleration had no effect on the problem whether enabled or disabled. I would go onto to view things on Amazon to see if their viewer had the same issues, there were no issues I observed while watching. Next, I was getting screen tearing while watching YouTube videos. I messed with many settings and eventually turned on Vsync in Nvidia Control Panel, did not fix issue, next I turned off the Xbox Bar and capture software. I left Vsync on, and after disabling the Xbox stuff, my problem seemed to be gone. I did eventually test whether hardware acceleration played a role for YouTube or not, for me it did. When I disabled it, the screen tearing returned. I've had no issues viewing videos from my own library (I make YouTube vids, who doesn't these days. And my videos on my hard drives work fine). Ironically, I would go on to watch Amazon's Invincible and towards the very end of the episode, the screen would flicker for a second and then a few moments later again. I exited fullscreen to see if it were because of what was going on in those frames it happened, and it did not occur again while finishing the episode. I ran the Heaven Benchmark and compared to other 1650 users and overall got a (albeit) lower score than expected, but not significantly lower. I installed not only the Heaven Benchmark but another GPU monitoring software, both showed stable GPU temps and fan use. I played CoD Modern Warfare, and while I expected more, like not having to play the game on low texture quality, it played fine. I didn't notice any issues which is strange because I know CoD is a very demanding game. Even as I type all of this in a word document (because I plan to post this to many forums) I am seeing issues in word now too. As I type, occasionally some characters disappear then re-appear in a blink of an eye after spacing from the word being typed. Then when my typing speed really begins to flow, the screen tears and displays part of the document text below the line I am currently typing on for a second then reverts. And had a line fragment across the page, then reappear only when the words were clicked on by cursor. I have reinstalled my drivers. Tinkered with all the settings I could find and that other forums recommended. I will note I have yet to swap out my DVI cable for another, It could be a bad cord, bad port on either the GPU or Monitor, I'm not sure. Maybe the GPU isn't fully seated right, and I didn't notice? I hope it's not a hardware issue on my PC because I really cannot afford to invest anything else. I honestly do not know what could be wrong as I am fairly confident I installed everything properly. I truly hope it's not a bad graphics card or bad mobo. I'm not super tech savvy, I only just heard about XMP the other day and still don't quite understand how it works if that gives yall some concept to where I'm at. Specs List: Nothing is Overclocked) CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor Motherboard: Gigabyte B450 DS3H GPU: ASUS GTX 1650 Super RAM: Unknown brand but 4 cards, making 64gb (This PC used to be a server PC my father built a year ago, worked fine then) PSU: Corsair CX650 M Monitor: Benq XL2420z [link] [comments]  | ||
