Yea, I have the video card, thank GOD I got it when I did, you can't find good cards right now unless you have a gold mastercard. YIKES. OK, I'll have to check out the order in which the monitors...

Hi,

Stupid question but I thought I'd ask. I have my larger monitor set up to be my main monitor for all things I do, the second monitor is a smaller monitor for extra stuff or viewing tutorials...

Strangely enough when I went on Facebook 4 other folks I know had the exact same thing happen to them AND another guy I know from a local cafe' had that happen to him as well. Mercury Retrograde or...

Not sure if anyone can shed some light on what may have happened but here's the scenario... I get up and boot the computer. I have a two monitor set up. One of things I totally hate about this new...

OK, good to know. I guess when I do the migration it will be on drive #4 then! LOL

Well I can't do that though. The M.2 drive is directly on the motherboard (is not connected with a sata cable) so it's SUPPOSED to claim the #0 slot by default... this isn't the case though!

I'm...

So here is the scenario....

My new rig has given me hell since I got it from hardware issues to software issues... most of it's all cleared up now so I'm thankful for that and many thanks to all...

Well after a long haul I have things just about where I like them. I uninstalled quite a few programs that were getting red flagged by Malwarebytes and other programs. Then came the big May update...

Ah, well most of my friends in the CG industry use it and love it. Folks need to understand that many in the CG business are sort of brilliant when it comes to computers considering they have to...

Well I am running Windows 10 Pro 64 bit so not sure if the drivers and what not are better.

I don't know about the RST... how do I go about looking for an update for that if it does need one?
...

No, not yet. I'm still convinced it's an issue with Explorer. Hardware all checked out just fine. I've done a full system scan that's lasted most of the day and is still not completed.

Hi, So I ended up investing in PCDoctor and ran full on tests. The hardware seems to have passed completely so not sure what's going on with all this.

Something new that's happening now is...

OK, I think I'm narrowing it down. I have the XYPlorer file browser and running around Windows with that is giving me NO slow downs or lags. I'm annoyed that it keeps asking me what program to open...

Thank you.. will do. Not a laptop though. It's a huge ass desktop computer for graphics content creation... so I'm running big programs like ZBrush and Autodesk's Mudbox as well as other big...

Well not doing much right now so it's really not much of anything to so but here is a screen grab

Hi, Sorry for the delay. At work all day yesterday and got home late so didn't boot up..

Here is the CoreTemp results.

#zinou what I mean that every process seems to take up to a few seconds...

Hmm no help with this from all these brilliant folks here?

Here's what I've done to try to determine what's going on.... I've set the paging files up.... the default seemed OK but since I've got...

Hi Folks,

Back again. Hoping someone can shed some light on this issue. Being a graphics artist I need a zippy computer. The new rig I'm working from now is not as zippy as I expected. I...

OK, reset the CMOS using the screwdriver to the CMOS reset prongs! WORKED and weirdly the optical drive is NOW showing up in Windows. I sort of want to have the M.2 as the Windows installation. ...

Hmmm, I tried to tell him about that with the zero sata port being disabled but he disagreed with that. He said the M.2 was in a port all it's own. He has told me he has the SATA array set up for...

Thanks so much. Too late. The tech showed up and as it turns out the reason I couldn't see any other drives that I was hooking up is that everything had to connected sequentially! Seems sort of...

I made an image backup of the C drive so that seems to be something that Marco agrees with. This guy I hired to come out this evening is late.. I'm hoping it's just traffic. According to all the...

Thanks so much for your help Ken.

Nighty night

YUP, it's there:

RM-M2-101 16GB INTEL OPTANE MEMORY ACCELERATOR M.2 PCIE NVME 1 0.00 0.00

Not sure myself. I just wanted a Graphics computer to run 3D graphics programs to create stuff for my business but I got this mess instead. I don't even remember asking for the M.2 bit. So not...
