    Have I destroyed my motherboard?

    There shouldn't be 5. This might work differently on a Dell PC but on a standard motherboard the pin header for the case switch is 2 pins, one will be ground and the other will be a signal wire, by shorting the signal wire to ground the PC should prompt the PSU to start. The pin header is...

    Have I destroyed my motherboard?

    Faulty case switch perhaps? If it's starting when the power cable is connected (this can happen for a few reasons), then one possibility is the case switch is stuck closed, and pressing it has caused it to open but stay open if it's broken. So now when you press it nothing happens. Use your...

    The New BIOS Hack That Bypasses Every Antivirus/

    I agree, but it seems to be happening. It's happened to a friend as well, slightly different circumstances though, he was on an OEM key and updating his BIOS deactivated his install, it was unrelated to the more current issue where an install activated off a W7 key won't re-activate the same...

    The New BIOS Hack That Bypasses Every Antivirus/

    It'll work fine if it is originally a Windows 10 or Windows 11 license, you'll not have an issue with hardware change there afaik. It's a specific interaction now with Windows 7 and 8 keys linked to an MS account.

    And this is with a Windows 7 license? :/

    The New BIOS Hack That Bypasses Every Antivirus/

    As mentioned in the other thread, I tried that. This information only applies after around October 2023 when MS decided to stop allowing W7 licenses to activate 10 and 11, if it was before then that you tried this off a Windows 7 or 8 key you should have no issue, perhaps that's why? Edit...

    The New BIOS Hack That Bypasses Every Antivirus/

    Folks should be aware that updating their BIOS for security patches may cause your hardware IDs to change and invalidate your windows activation if you're relying on a windows 7 / 8 digital license upgraded to windows 10 or 11, as I recently found out after updating bios for this very reason...

    ****The Official 5G Home Broadband Thread**** (Three/EE/Vodafone/etc)

    My usage of dual sim in the past (on android) is that the phone has 1 sim for voice and text and 1 sim for data. The wifi hotspot its self isn't tied to a sim card, it's just a wireless access point which can use whatever sim you've set the phone's data to. Might be different on iPhone though.

    ****The Official 5G Home Broadband Thread**** (Three/EE/Vodafone/etc)

    Honestly! Customer support nowadays is all like this it seems, they CBA to take on anything that doesn't have a directly obvious fault or solution. "Our internet service is not intended for being used as the internet."

    ****The Official 5G Home Broadband Thread**** (Three/EE/Vodafone/etc)

    I think you've misread his posts, he's getting 40x the upload speed on the *same* VPN when uses Voxi and 30x on EE compared to the same VPN on Smarty. Smarty is the only variable factor it seems.

    ****The Official 5G Home Broadband Thread**** (Three/EE/Vodafone/etc)

    Just tried to run it myself and it's telling me it can't reach the servers either (no VPN, just straight from my fttc connection). Sorry about that, dunno what's going on there, it's one I've used regularly in the past when I was tuning QoS to reduce bufferbloat since it has a nice chart.

    ****The Official 5G Home Broadband Thread**** (Three/EE/Vodafone/etc)

    It still seems all very weird that 3 are able to throttle VPN, for the TCP side they seem to use the standard SSL port, and you'd imagine the packets would be encrypted and wouldn't be tagged to give away what type of traffic they are so are they targeting the vpn provider's endpoint IP? But...

    ****The Official 5G Home Broadband Thread**** (Three/EE/Vodafone/etc)

    Thanks for that, do you know if the PoE stutter was definitely 5G related or could it have just been anything (like frame rate), you just couldn't track it down? I think ultimately I'll just load my phone with some data and do a test run, I suppose that's the best way to be sure.

    ****The Official 5G Home Broadband Thread**** (Three/EE/Vodafone/etc)

    I see you've got a nord app in one of your screenshots, I really don't have much clue how VPNs connect, but could it be something like the mobile phone is using the SSL port through the app but the desktop clients are using another port for VPN traffic (if that exists) and so it's able to...

    ****The Official 5G Home Broadband Thread**** (Three/EE/Vodafone/etc)

    When you say you tried it "on mobile" are you meaning with the simcard in the mobile phone, or is the mobile phone connected via WiFi to your 5g modem? It makes no sense if it's on wifi going through the exact same hub :/, I'd start looking at device specific configuration or pointing fingers...

    ****The Official 5G Home Broadband Thread**** (Three/EE/Vodafone/etc)

    I think he's posted a topic on ISP Review and came to the conclusion it's something to do with switching APN? I'm quite interested in this also since my FTTC speed is 24/2 but I have a very clean line of sight to the phone mast 1.6km away. 3 say they don't do 5g broadband here, but outdoor...

    The AMD Driver Thread

    I'd ignore the ryzen master stuff. Are you running overclocked, particularly your ram. Is there anything in the eventvwr system category regarding WHEA errors? Can you download OCCT and run the stability test for memory and CPU. I'm wondering if it's not necessarily GPU related given that it...

    The AMD Driver Thread

    This is really weird :/. Have you owned the card long and it's just started happening? And is it just any youtube video, or a specific one, and do other web videos do it like twitch? What about other browsers? Firefox? Edge? Edit: Can you go into event viewer and see the details of the BSOD...

    Did you clear CMOS on the original bios? Perhaps it just had an incompatible setting?

    The AMD Driver Thread

    Get furmark or perhaps valley benchmark or something that will run in a window, put load on the card in the background with one of those tools and watch the video again at the same time to see if it will crash. You might even be able to just download occt and use it as a load if you don't want...
