  1. Locked out of my PC


    For some reason, when I opened my laptop a few days ago, I was no longer connected to the Wi-Fi. Which of course means that my pin didn't work.After I clicked on sign-in other ways, the normal Microsoft login page didn't work because... You guessed it. I don't have Internet! There are no networks displayed on my sign in screen. The only option is Airplane mode. And no it's not on. I've powered my computer on and off, repeatedly.

  2. PC Build Steps

    Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval
    • Install system in case
      • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
    • Turn on PC
    • setup HDD
    • run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
      • run realtemp at the same time
    • While in Prime95 test
      • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
      • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
      • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!
    What do you guys think??

    1.1 - Ideally put optical in SATA 0, and SSD in SATA 1, this will cause the optical drive to be the default 1st boot option. You can change it manually if not, but I like it this way
    2.infinity - yes, that's fine. if it's above 70 +/- 5 degrees, then it may just need a repaste/remount
