    Why am I locked out of my new PC


    I have a new PC and when I signed into my Microsoft account, I noticed the phone number was my old land line, so I changed it to me cell number. I set up fingerprint for access to the PC and it's worked fine the last 10 days. Today it wouldn't accept my fingerprint and requested I enter my PIN. I thought I remembered my PIN, but I get PIN is incorrect. When I click Forgot PIN, I'm prompted to enter password for my account. I enter password and it prompts window that states "Your security info change is still pending and it shows the pending phone number change". I click the Cancel button on th

  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

    Throttlestop overclocking Desktop PCs

    Has anybody worked on that suggestion of putting together a list of unlocked CPU's?
    I've got an E.S. E5-2650 that appears to be locked and the BIOS on the Motherboard is locked down even tighter.
    I would like to play with it without buying a new board, CPU's can be cheaper.
