Would this be a good game for someone who sucks at video games? As in, is it story/puzzle based and less technical skill based?
Excuse me, my crimes obviously involved interstate commerce so that I could get charged federally.
Please don't cut Mike. He's a good dude.
It's funny because Americans have been radicalized against taxes saying its wage theft and taking away all their earnings..., but historically, when taxes increase, firms have an incentive to pay their workers more so wages generally increase with tax increases. You're pecking at the reason why tit works that way. It's arguably counter intuitive but that's why the propaganda against higher taxes works so well.
Yeah my sli was useless about 4 years ago when games stopped supporting it. That's why I'm giving her my 2nd card because it's useless in my rig.
As for a new build for me, I should probably just wholesale and upgrade to a DDR5/current chip mobo because I think my i7 6700 is really what's holding me back past my card.
I vaguely remember ~7 years ago when I built it having issues with the gpus. The main issue was that I needed to boot my OS with a single card, get everything up and running, then shut down again and add the SLI and 2nd card. I also vaguely remember thinking the wiring was silly but it worked and for 7 years it was "if it ain't broke don't fix it" until now.
Update on my building journey: my wife's new build (waiting for 3 more case fans):
Posting this on all threads:
Fixed: this was my first ever build and after reseating my gpu, I saw some less than intelligent wiring (6+2 pin coming out of my card, daisy chained to a 6 pin that then went into the VGA port on my power supply). I cringed and pulled those wires and replaced it with a PCIE cable from my wife's new build (the reason I removed my 2nd 1080 in the first place). That cable only went into a CPU slot on the power supply but didn't think much of it. Turns out using cables that are not associated with your specific PSU is a nono. Everything works fine and I am dumb for several reasons but at least I learned with (seemingly) no catastrophic consequences.
Thank yall for your help and consideration and sorry I wasted your time.

Updating drivers was suggested by a friend to do after I started up but now I don't have any video output so I guess I need to figure something else out . I feel dumb
Tried that, got the monitor to wake up but still didn't display anything. Then I replaced the power cable to the card and now the whole pc isn't turning on so looks like I get to figure that out tomorrow. I'll check if I have a jumper on my board too and get back to you. Thanks for the help though
Would that erase all my data?
Im building my wife a PC and now that my SLI is useless (for a few years now), I figured I'd give her my extra GPU.
I disabled the SLI in the control panel, powered down, popped the SLI and 2nd GPU out and gave my wifes pc the extra 1080. My PC started up fine, I booted up a game, and about 10 min in, the screen froze for about 10 seconds and then appeared to restart and now I have no video output. Did I brick my gpu? Any ideas on how to proceed?
I'm only panicking a lot.
Part List - Intel Core i5-14500, Jonsbo Jonsplus Z20 MicroATX Desktop
Trying to build a pink case for the wife that's relatively future proof. No gaming, just web browsing, music (not production), YouTube, and ms office stuff.
The problem is that I've only built two machines and this is the first time I'm doing a color scheme. Im also stuck between DDR4 and 5. I don't think she needs the power but if I don't get the 5 now I feel like I'd have to replace the mobo if she needs to upgrade.
If theres any suggestions yall have to make it more compatible, more pink, cheaper, or more powerful without spending much more, please roast me on it (don't change the case though she's set on that).
Use your geography knowledge to figure out the mystery country in as few guesses as possible!
Please note that I use it to learn so when I'm stumped, I go to maps and figure it out.
Hey yall, not sure if this is the right place for this, but I figured I'd give it a shot.
When I accelerate from a stop, I hear what sounds like unmuffled engine noise that sounds like it's coming from near the front of the car. It's not a complete roar like the muffler fell off but it's way louder than I'm used to. After I hit 2nd gear (automatic) the noise essentially stops and it sounds normal again. The sound can't be reproduced in neutral. I inspected what I could and the exhaust line is rusty but doesn't appear to be broken. I also don't see any issues with mileage.
Anyone have any ideas?
And if this isn't the right place, can someone direct me to the right place?
Jeep Grand Cherokee 2012 Automatic V6
Built a gaming PC back in 2018 (windows 10, GTX1080, i7, eset security).
For the past year or so it wakes up every now and then and for a few months it started waking up to my logged in desktop screen. Hasnt happened for about a month or so but it still eakes up even with my mouse and keyboard disconnected. I don't do any tormenting or anything sketchy. It's a really clean machine built for gaming, YouTube, office work stuff. I don't visit any "low brow" sites (that's what my tablet (not connected to the PC) is for). It didn't start happening after any specific download that I can remember.
Anyway, I can't find anything relevant online that helps me so I figured I'd ask here if anyone knows what this is about.
