Epyc adventures today. Got the system running. but on install, linux was making GBS threads dmesg screams every five seconds tried swapping ssds (the only pcie things in it) between slots. no dice. tried removing one. nope. tried removing the other. nope Then i found one of my P1600x gen3 optanes, tried it on a lark, and....perfect. Just to confirm the test, added one of the WD 770s in the other slot. Errors returned. After some hunting, i found this quote:
And since i can force the actual pcie slots to gen3, but NOT the m2 slots, these will never work in the onboard m2's. But they should work with a PCIe card. Since it's dumb to run a system on a 56g drive, i have two gen3 SSDs coming in tomorrow which should let me populate the onboard slots, and then i'll get a card to put the WDs in a pcie slot and all will be fine.

well the computer froze on me twice today so I'm gonna try two things I guess 1) reinstall windows 2) remove a couple of useless expansion cards (wifi adapter, usb adapter) and if that doesn't work ??? buy a new computer seems to be the only option

ok so I installed win11 while I was at it, because idk when I'd have a better opportunity to try. maybe it will fix the issue my unbiased win11 review: it's fine, I guess, haven't run into anything that makes me hate it yet. I got my music production pipeline going again which is what I was worried about most. I did already install ExplorerPatcher though - I just can't handle taskbar on bottom with my ultrawide, even with auto hide. maybe I could. idk. don't really care to figure out at this point

it's fine. they made some stupid ui choices. these stupid companies are full of stupid people who never studied ergonomics and they don't understand that operating systems are basically critical infrastructure now and you can't just gently caress with people's work processes for no reason. this pisses me off every single time photoshop or fusion get a forced update that moves all the buttons around. you can propose something new, but you have to allow existing users to keep their old pattern if they don't like the new one or just need some time to get used to it. at least for incredibly fundamental features like "where you click to switch tasks." car analogy: if you got in your car one morning and the stalks had disappeared and been replaced with capacitive buttons on the wheel because elon thinks it's better. fortunately explorerpatcher lets you revert the stupid parts of the ui, and it just becomes windows 10 with round corners and presumably more support going forwards. and i genuinely like a few features like the new terminal app

built up a pc for my kid and msi board has onboard wifi but w10 it’s like it doesn’t even know wifi exists?? tried installing intel wifi drivers .. idk next step is move the pc next to the router and cable that poo poo in and somehow make windows KNOW that onboard wifi exists and force it to work

if it's literal first-time setup then the install media probably doesn't have drivers for the wifi (if you're super unlucky, it won't have ethernet drivers either) you gotta get the drivers from the motherboard manufacturer, put them on a usb drive, and install them from there

yeah I checked bios and it was on and finally yeah I did get it working, plugged it into ethernet and downloaded everything msi motherboard I could find and then yes .. it finally acted as if it had wifi and I got it working ok I mean .. if this was 20 … even 10 .. years ago that’s one thing.. or if it was linux … but how does onboard wifi not just auto work with a windows 10 install?? even at some base slow level?! shameful imo

it might be too new to have windows 10 drivers out of the box. windows 10 came out in 2015 the motherboard should have come with some kind of driver disc or something though, that's stupid

Put a little switch on the back to turn off port 2 if it bugs you in explorer or w/e. I'm really into programmable macro pads and 10keys and poo poo and whenever i want to reprogram them, step 1 is to look up my amazon order to remember what the thing's model number is and go from there, lol

Put a little switch on the back to turn off port 2 if it bugs you in explorer or w/e. I have a Razr keyboard that has this and it’s a little annoying since for some reason it will auto play plus nowadays the software is completely out of date. I do get the sentiment though and agree in theory. funny enough I just opened a new motherboard I got with a microcenter bundle and it has a tiny usb flash drive. I haven’t used it yet because I’m waiting on the cooler to get here, but I was surprised it was in there. it looks crazy cheap, lol “MSI mag z790 tomahawk WiFi” if anyone’s curious. I may just disable the WiFi on it since this is a desktop and will be wired most of its life

you can add your own drivers to the install image yourself, if you know what you're going to need. they don't constantly update the images with drivers for every piece of hardware that comes out. really the problem is if you're setting up a computer and you don't have access to another computer at the same time.

re: DVD drives; my pc has a dvd burner that I salvaged from work years ago that's at least 10 years old. it's a nice one and it's always worked fine but i haven't needed it in years. fast forward to the other day when I found some old mystery discs that i wanted to check out and now the drive tray doesn't open anymore. 😓

Why are there basically no USB splitters with two male ends? I can't be the only person who wants to plug a wired keyboard into both my work and my home computer at the same time and toggle. As far as I can tell either I'm searching for the wrong thing or Amazon has literally one option and I've tried it and it sucks and has massive connectivity issues. The gently caress do people do, crawl around behind their PC plugging poo poo in and out every time they switch computers?

that's not a splitter, that a switch, like this https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Computers-Peripheral-Switcher-One-Button/dp/B01N6GD9JO but most of the time you want to switch displays too so you use a kvm switch, or even better use a monitor with a built in kvm
