[QUOTE=tratzzz;52230345]What GPU / Drivers do you have? It doesn’t sound like an issue w10 would create. A few days ago, I put my PC to sleep but the screens plugged into the GPU were still lit up. That was weird.[/QUOTE] This happened to me with some AMD drivers before ReLive came out.
[QUOTE=garychencool;52230147]Windows 10 seems to do this weird thing where when in idle, the screen turns off and after a long time (lets say an hour), it will never wake up/get the screen to turn on again. Peripherals and such don't wake it up so the only way is to either wait (forever) or restart the computer.[/QUOTE] Check for a setting that is like "Use Windows Hello to determine if you are away" or something like that. If you find it, uncheck it. I was working with someone that had a Surface Book and that caused a similar issue.

That was weird.[/QUOTE] MSI Nvidia geforce 1070 desktop, driver version 382.05. I disabled the screen turn off timer so it seems to have fixed it as I left it for several hours. I've also had the same issue with my thinkpad running windows 7, but typically it's when I remote desktop onto it and I just see black and nothing else.
I got to work this morning, went to turn my (freshly upgraded to Windows 10) work laptop on, and... poof, magic smoke. Thing is dead. Dell™

So I decided to try a new way of uploading crap onto Google Drive. I installed the desktop app for Drive, set the download/sync directory to its own (large capacity) hard drive, then copied a bunch of stuff onto said hard drive and dragged stuff into that directory. Hopefully with this, it will constantly upload in the background as long as the computer is running/Internet is working, and I don't have to manually check it or anything. It should all automatically sync and upload eventually. Then when I'm done, or when I want to clear some space, I can unsync the specific folder, make a new one and upload stuff into that. Then on Google Drive's web browser or ExpanDrive or whatever other file browser, I can rearrange the files and folders into where they need to go.

It's raised for ventilation as well. It literally hasn't moved for a week, so whatever it was was spontaneous.
Seriously though do you have clean power at your desk? Have you tried replacing your dock? You've had an obscene amount of failures.
[QUOTE=Levelog;52231545]Seriously though do you have clean power at your desk? Have you tried replacing your dock? You've had an obscene amount of failures.[/QUOTE] Most of the failures were display failures which the M3800 has pretty commonly if you do a google. This was the first magic smoke motherboard failure I've ever had. The dock is just a USB3.0 port replicator so I doubt that has anything to do with it. Everything is surge protected.

nvm
I hope that stuff actually ends up true - if Intel seriously releases a 4C/4T 112W TDP chip as an i7 HEDT, I'll giggle for 4 hours straight.
Exec "We've stagnated, how can we get people to think we're improving things again?" Marketing Guy "Let's make a new i5 but call it an i7, and make our higher end i7's called i9's. They'll eat it right up"
God 16 core consumer procs blows my mind.

We had to add a new enum the other day to handle having a new client in NZ, as enums are zero-based they got comments on them. [code] // Zero the hero. Australia, // First the worst. NewZealand [/code] I knew who wrote it before I checked the logs. Our Kiwi didn't appreciate it as much.

So so far I think I like this Latitude tablet more than Surface Pro's. Spec for spec they're a hair cheaper. They're heavier, but they can actually be somewhat serviced and they have ports. 2x Type C (Also how it charges) and 1x Type A 3.0. Far better than a proprietary charger an one Type A.

Might be trading a 3GB 1060 + $60 for an RX580 8GB card B)
[QUOTE=Dr. Evilcop;52232701]Might be trading a 3GB 1060 + $60 for an RX580 8GB card B)[/QUOTE] An RX580 is kinda gonna perform slightly below or on par to that 1060, though Remember, it's not meant to be a flagship, but a mid range price competitive product.

[url]http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1868?vs=1771[/url][/QUOTE] What you linked is versus the [B]6GB[/B] 1060. The VRAM deficiency of the 3GB version tanks the framerate whenever there's too much post processing, and it has roughly 10% less processing units than the 6GB version. The 8GB RX 580 is most certainly better, especially since I might want to play with VR which eats up a shitton of VRAM. [editline].[/editline] I should mention I got the 3GB GTX 1060 for super cheap so it's a worthwhile trade

[QUOTE=Brt5470;52233390]Google is testing their new FileStream tech. basically first party cached mountable drive. I am waiting to get it since I got Gsuite Business.[/QUOTE] I wonder how well that would work with a gigabit Internet connection to do video editing. It would probably work, only slow down is when it has to download it off the cloud but once it's local it should be fine.

We were testing Veeam Agent at work since it's out of beta now, spun up a VM of the test workstation in the cloud on their end. Surprised how well it worked.
