Oh man I love cheap business surplus stuff. Got a CA$50 R610 in the mail today, booted it up and went to BIOS and found this lovely message on the front-LCD panel :v:

MS is removing ReFS from Windows 10 Professional.
"Professional"
They're slowly going to neuter Pro into Home Premium

Sure doing a good thing at pushing adoption of ReFS there, Microsoft.
Thinking of doing this:

Oh great, then how else am I going to use my already ReFS formatted hard drive if they remove it? Upgrade to fucking Enterprise?
You can read and write to ReFS, but you can't create ReFS volumes or format them.
I like using ReFS for my backups as I've mentioned before, so this blows.

I still keep one of my drives as ReFS because it's always uploading something so I wouldn't want to lose any data due to a power outage. That's literally the only reason why I kept that one drive I accidentally formatted to ReFS as ReFS instead of reformatting it to NTFS. Oh and laziness. I was tempted to just format the other NTFS drives (except for the one with the OS) for that same feature.
Because of AMD's [URL="https://s.gvid.me/s/2017/08/22/rbo453.png"]half-in half-out[/URL] approach to VP9 decode in Vega (which is, of course, broken), whenever VP9 plays in chrome it freezes my system for 5-10 seconds.
Plus the [URL="https://youtu.be/7wRJyCrluv0?t=23"]driver issue[/URL].
It doesn't even fully accelerate vp9? I just assumed everything did for a long time now.
The Vega's pretty good. But I'm also an average consumer I guess. I just wanna game.

I am officially at my wit's end with my GF's computer.
She codes and games, thats it.
Her machine was having [I]constant[/I] stability issues. [I]constant.
[/I]programs crash constantly, machine reboots randomly, event viewer gives no info, and BSODs are inconsistent as all hell if they even get the chance to make a dump.
Seemed software related, so we reinstalled graphics drivers. Issues on day 0, reinstalling was pulling teeth. Tested [I]all[/I] her drives, all have perfect health. new PSU, no change. Reinstalled windows 7, had trouble doing that, gave up and redid [I]her entire fucking rig to ryzen.[/I] Most of her issues went away, the remaining was graphics card related, so we upgraded from her aged 660ti to an rx580. She was buttery stable for [I]a week.[/I] and now we're back to constant goddamn instability.
Over the past 3 months we've:
reinstalled drivers after safe-mode DDU
reinstalled windows 7
reinstalled drivers after safe-mode DDU [I]again[/I]
brand new well rated corsair PSU
tested ALL drives repeatedly with CDI, all test perfectly (samsung evo 850, toshiba 1tb, WD 750gb)
bit the bullet and fully rebuilt into Ryzen, all well rated components
upgraded to rx 580
[I]and we're still having the same fucking issues issues.[/I]
the [I][B]ONLY[/B][/I] persistent parts between these builds is the same healthy drives and the fact that she's running windows 7, which she can't even do updates on because Ryzen and a fuck-you from microsoft.
[I]I don't understand anymore. Its practically a completely different fucking machine why is it failing exactly the same way.[/I]
Does anyone have [I]any[/I] advice??

Well if you replace the drives and do a clean install of Windows 10 then that should definitely fix things :v:
Unless you're cursed anyway.

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but I wear through tips far more than heater elements.
I get that there's a heat transfer and capacity advantage in having an integrated heater, but it'd be annoying if they stopped making them 5 years down the line so you had to chuck the entire thing.
(It's just really a matter of keeping a stockpile big enough to last the useful life of the iron though).[/QUOTE]
If you want a cheap soldering station that'll last for a lifetime, you need something that can take Hakko 900M series tips.
The legit tips are expensive as hell, but the Chinese knockoffs do hobby work just fine, cost under a dollar each, and still last for quite a long while.
I have a box of knockoff 900M tips that makes me feel like a prepper hoarding 7.62
[QUOTE=Kiwi;52601929]What's next hyper v?[/QUOTE]
Wouldn't be surprised. I have never heard of anyone using hyper-v outside of the Windows Server family
I used it on my Windows 10 Pro machine :(
So I got an EVGA 430 W1 PSU for my dads desktop and for whatever reason, Asus Anti-Surge keeps on tripping ever since I installed the PSU (previous one was a Corsair 650W as a temp solution to figure out what was wrong with the desktop). I swapped the AC power cable to the one that came in the box, reconnected all of the things needed and the anti-surge still keeps on tripping. What I haven't tried yet was a completely different power bar but the anti-surge indicator still looks good on it so it probably isn't that. Maybe it's just this one bad unit?

Oddly enough, I somehow was able to format to ReFS some time ago but I swapped a 120GB with a 500GB drive just now and I don't see the option to format as ReFS in Disk Management anymore.. I searched about the dropping of support and it said it will get rid of it in the Fall update. I don't think I updated my copy of Windows 10 at all so it shouldn't have removed it yet?

Just wait until they introduce "Windows 10 Enterprise Premium" for the Super professional power user and tie ReFS to this :v:

Did you updated the bios? Ryzen had microcode bugs at some boards on launch, got fixed by bios updates

So ReFS is weird on Windows 10. You can format an existing volume to ReFS, but you can't create a simple volume with ReFS. create one on NTFS then format it after.
[QUOTE=kaukassus;52603382]Just wait until they introduce "Windows 10 Enterprise Premium" for the Super professional power user and tie ReFS to this :v:[/QUOTE]
Nah, Microsoft will go the IAP route and make it a premium add-on for $20 or some shit.
What they are actually gonna do is push out Windows 10 Pro for Workstations. God damn it Microsoft, this is literally a step in the wrong direction if you want everyone running Windows to go to ReFS. However, you can't boot from that file system yet so your boot drive will forever be on NTFS, for now.

If that's true then.. what probably happened was the hard drive I had was already formatted to NTFS, and I wanted to re-format it for whatever reason (IIRC it had nothing on it and I already did a full NTFS format months before installing it into my Ryzen desktop build) and missed the NTFS option. Oh well. I guess I could just not update to the Fall Creators update or something.
Got another old-ish, used hard drive for free and it says that Current Pending Sector Count is 1 and Uncorrectable Sector Count is 1. Health Status says Caution. Is it worth trying to fix or should I just dump the drive? It's some 500GB Seagate drive that is slow with 75MB/s read/write.
Edit:
Hard Drive Sentinel says:
[QUOTE]
The drive found 65528 bad sectors during its self test.
There are 65528 weak sectors found on the disk surface. They may be remapped any time in the later use of the disk.
Problems occurred between the communication of the disk and the host 1698 times.

Health is 9%...
Yeah, time to not use this hard drive at all.
Open it up and take the magnets and the platters

Turn it off, it's highly unreliable, unless you are getting symptoms of power supply failure it's fine, also it has nothing to do with power surges despite the name.
So I crossposted on reddit to get a wider net of ideas. Of the 5 that have responded so far, 4 of them have bitched me out in some way about using windows 7 on ryzen, completely glazing over the fact that [I]the pre-ryzen build had exactly the same symptoms and instability.[/I]
They did recommend checking the wall power for dirty-ness and trying to power it from a different breaker.
