Well you do have an AMD chip in there. What kind of ethernet cable do you have? That might be the problem right there.

RJ45.

Did you try to update the motherboard bios to the latest one?

M5A97 BIOS 1503

1.Improve system stability.

2.Enhance compatibility with some USB devices.

Yes. I'm running 1503

No idea. I wished I did.

I know what you're gonna say, but this isn't a Windows issue mate. If you're system is that unstable, you might wanna take a look at your hardware. There is just no reason your machine should be this messed up all the time. I've run all iterations of Windows and have never had a problem outside of XP's darker days. All I run is MSE, and have built two systems from scratch and they're still chugging.

Can you be anymore specific into the problems you're having?

I did. It cost me $980 in fried hardware.

Okay I will bite-

What makes you think Linux was the issue?

It could have happened even in Windows ... I myself had an issue that I didn't know about a few years ago under Win2k where it ran my cpu at 100% all the time and overheated it.

I have several posts about my issues. Appz break or slow down. System slows down on start/restart. Data transfers crawl along. Am always having to open cmd to use ipconfig to clear dns, release/renew. Win8 refresh has never worked for me.

Every single one of those just sounds like some bad hardware. Who built this PC?

If it's a local place that does custom built it sounds like they do a bad job on building things.

I've seen that a dozen or so times. I used to compete against some of them.

dude you must be joking right? I have Windows 7 on my gaming rig, Windows 8 on my laptop and I have absolutely zero antivirus, antispyware, none of that garbage and I have yet to see a virus - but of course, I use common sense (no porn sites, no poker/game sites, etc)

If you are running windows 8, you are running antivirus/antispyware. It's built in.

We are on cable.

No, I think he means like on a switch, router, directly connected to modem, or wifi?

On a side note: This place is awesome because you have so many people that can help you. There's always someone who will notice something that others won't and problems are solved reasonably quickly.

Well first noticed artefacts while booting / shutting down Ubuntu.

Can't really recommend it to anyone.

Other issues include lack of enabled-by-default and fully working h264/AVC GPU decoding with default player and Adobe Flash.

Disgusting.

I really don't want to stop using Win8. But for some reason, I just can't keep it stable enough to run.

Now you guys are just being mean. Take the Mac and well, use it to wipe your backsides.

What's wrong with a Mac?

I'm not ab Apple guy, but you can run Windows on there pretty easily. If you run into stability issues you'll know then that it's not the OS.

Never had those issues once I installed Proprietary Drivers.

Nvidia though can't say much about ATI/AMD

I have 8.04 as well as 11.04 installed and they run perfectly on Nvidia video card systems -

8.04 Intel PIII 900mhz 768mb memory 40gb hard drive - Nvidia Geforce 4 4000 64mb video card

and

Stock- except 4 gigs memory

http://desktops.productwiki.com/emachines-el1331g-01w/

that one runs 11.04

In the 15+ years I have used windows I can only ever recall getting a bad virus/malware once, and it was easily solved. When it comes to software, I rarely have any issue, and the ones I do have are generally a quickfix.

It is almost never the computer, but the user, when most issues arise.

I just always advocate people don't point the finger at what they are using when it comes to most things in computers, but themselves, cause that is generally where the issue stems from.

That said, it is your decision, and your choice, and that is okay. People can like or dislike many things for many reasons.

Good luck on whatever you decide to go with.

RJ45.

Get a Monster Cable brand Ethernet cable and all your problems will go away. I had the same problem with an AMD chip using standard ethernet cable. It has something to do with the positrons hitting the bus at too high a rate getting conjamburated by the AMD's processing method that concatenates the data and ends up freezing under Windows because of the things.

Or maybe I should just get a sonic screwdriver?

    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds

      By RejZoR · Posted

      Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By ExecutiveFunction404 · Posted

      This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.
    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles

      The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.
