Headshot!

They should because come January 20, asshat Trump will halt all assistance to Ukraine.

copy the contents of that 296GB partition somewhere, delete the entire hda9 and recreate it, hopefully sucking ouo those spare 2+1MB, then copying the data back.

You have too many partitions to begin with though and beyond that, those 3MB may be just outside of alignment with the other partions, meaning you may not be able to reclaim them.

Regardless, it’s 3MB, not a big deal.

Hunt their asses down!

Damn that’s a lot of Orcs.

It’s a common dysfunction with Orcs… It can be cured by going home though, in a bag or otherwise.

Stick it in Kimmies eyes and send them to South Korea.

Awesome! Glad to hear it.

You’re welcome, hope it helps. At least you now know what the issue is and can plan accordingly.

Known issue with the wd sn770/sn580.

Not sure if the fix will help. but it’s a start. I ultimately replaced mine with an sk hynix p41 m2. No issues since.

Cloud? Neva heard of it! AI is where the money is at now.

Buzzwords, that’s all they are.

vim with global ls_colors and dircolors kinda user huh? Nothing wrong with that.

On a default install on NP++ you can only save as rtf, but there are addable plugins that give some rtf functionality. So as a direct answer, no, it doesn’t, but it can.

Microsoft: We can’t spy on your usage when you use wordpad, use O365 instead! (guessing).

TBH, I haven’t used wordpad since Windows 98. Not saying others don’t use it, but Notepad++ and a myriad of other options are better anyway.

Possibilities:

• Laptop bios time is way off from the OS causing it to revert with every reboot
• Laptop mobo/bios battery (not li-on laptop battery) going bad, causing time drift on the realtime clock (rtc) from which the OS gets time from
• Laptop not getting proper time from internet, causing ntp drift

Suggestions:

• Check and change the bios time to current timezone and time
• If the laptop is >3yrs old, replace the cr2032 battery in the laptop
• Setup an alternate ntp client configuration on windows https://www.jaspreet.net/2024/06/30/2499/how-to-change-your-ntp-time-server-in-windows-11/

Considering some of these Fath-360s failed on their own when Iran used them on Israel in April, Russia has a 50/50 chance of hitting something other than their own country.

A second idea if you cannot source another gpu; Change PCIe slots. While I believe your video card is going bad or at a minimum: overheating: consider moving it to the other x16 slot on your mobo as it IS technically possible the slot is having issues. It also doesn’t hurt to spray your case out with canned air to get the heat capturing dust out.

While I call it init, many will assume I am referring to the boot init, but I am actually referring to the bios initialization (init).

That said, most BIOS inits go in this order:

• Power Detection check. If enough power, proceed.

• CPU program link, CPU calls the BIOS to basically wake up and run the bios program.

• Ram Detection check. If RAM is present, the BIOS will use about 64k to load from ROM to RAM (called the bios reserve area) that then does the next steps.

• Hardware Detection check. Identifiers of the hardware are detected, enumerated, configured and initialized.

• Boot Sequence is initialized whereby the BIOS does a handoff to the bootloader.

It’s during the hardware detection phase when the display is initialized by the gpu and you often see it displaying the bios version, then counting RAM. If the gpu is working BUT the display out isn’t, it’ll actually continue to boot 100% of the time (it doesn’t care). If the gpu hardware itself doesn’t respond correctly to the BIOS request however, it sends the hardware detection of the BIOS into a loop or shuts the system down, never getting to the final step: boot sequence.

Depending on the bios type, it may or may not show numlock. I’ve also seen it act differently on UEFI enabled systems than when it’s set to classic bios. So, it just depends.

Regardless, see if you can source another pcie gpu for testing this. It only takes a minute and tbh, it doesn’t hurt to have a cheap used pcie vid card in your pc tools for such things.

Good luck!

I agree with Brkdncr, this sounds like a video card issue.

I’ve had this problem multiple times before. The combination of display glitches and the fans spinning but no numlock or keyboard functionality simply points to the video card first.

In short, during POST of the BIOS it attempts an init to the display, fails and then stops attempting the boot sequence. It, the video card, is just as important during init as the motherboard registers, RAM and CPU all starting.

So, start with video, see if it works without the 5700XT and using the onboard or some other cheap pcie card. If that fails too, then it’s most likely the mobo as assumed. This just doesn’t sound like a mobo issue though.
