Yeah I need to learn a lot more with server computers mostly, also running programs on servers

But as I had stated with hardware I am golden

I know almost every modern cpu on the market

but do you know how to unstick a stuck platter on a spinny disk harddrive

I don't do harddrive repair

i once literally got paid $50 to show up at a person's house and just give their hard-drive a wack

Lol

it blew their fucking mind

That's hilarious

yea but then there'd be times where i'd show up for some shit that should be easy and it turns out it was some super insane shit that was absolutely ridiculous and took like 5 hours of work that i couldn't really charge more than 2 hours for

Eh

there were some contracts i'd get where i'd have to read like a 100 page manual before going in the next day lol

but that's all contractor-related shit which i'm guessing you're not thinking aboutg etting into

Well I mainly do troubleshooting with peoples hardware besides drives. So lets say no video is displaying or their system isn't powering on I give them steps to tell them what might be wrong and what they have to do get said system to display said picture, most of the time it is the wrong ram speed for the system or it is just bad ram

yea one of my friends is currently having an issue with his monitor turning black once in a while and he has to put the computer in hibernate and back out for it to come back on

Sound like a driver issue or maybe not enough power

Mainly software I presume

yea he's going to swap out PSU and see if it keeps happening

But it could be power spikes

Yeah

need to get the GPUZ running or someswatch

Most of the time the powersupply isn't bad it is just getting way to much heat from the system

But it could be going bad

I had this problem where my gpu would only shutoff not my system just the gpu, and it was mainly because of a stupid dust cover stopping air flow coming in

i would hope it's not overheating he's got like fucking 6 fans running in that thing lol

but he IS in a super dusty house so probably a good idea to check that too

No I mean the PSU overheating

Because if air is being sucked from the inside that is most likely the problem

yea

Lemme get a picture to describe better

i had a client who kept having PSUs die on him turned out he had fucked up electrical problems in hishome

It is better to have it like that

damn yea i think his PSU is at the bottom

If the fan is in the system hot air will blow into the PSU

And that isn't good

I would highly advise not doing this

yea i will bring that up to him later when he's off work thanks

Yeah np!

If that isn't the case I recommend getting rid of the dust cover under the psu
