This is great to know, will try this. Not sure this is the case though because its way more then a 15% drop, and it's changing the core voltage of the chip. But it sounds like something to install anyway.
Nope, will try this too.
I did re-thermal compound the chip, and made sure my kraken was circulating properly. I have a suspicion that maybe the chip was overheating, because I can't explain the problem that will keep the chip in that state unless I pull the physical power cord of the machine to fix it. I have to assume maybe its some kind of built in mechanism, however, I have an alarm that will sound at 90c and it's never gone off. I put it under stress and the highest I've been able to get the chip is 86.4c (post-recompounding it). I've been told thats kinda high but should still be well within acceptable bounds of the chip.
I'm keeping my eyes open though thanks for the help.

it's most likely not an error on the physical cooling b/c if you have a modern solution (i.e. fans are temp controlled) you'd hear it spin up to turbo first b4 weird thermals come around.

Just the couple bits Ive watched of Linus talking about WIndows 11 - I aint touching that shit for a while. The chip you have to have on your mobo, the fact that Win 11 is trying to control your bios settings and more just sounds awful. I was late adopting 10 from 7, so its sounding more and more like Ill be a late adopter for 11 as well.

Its for security and with all things security there's always performance hits. The "chip on the mobo" is really not a thing since, at least for newer AMD CPU's , the functionality is built into the CPU and just requires enabling it in the BIOS. I went Windows 11 and my biggest issue is functionality. They've totally fucked over UI elements/ease of use menus for..god knows what fucking reason. Like the taskbar

Alright, this is not a computer issue per se, but I didnt want to make a new thread.
Please help, if you can.
I have a lot of pdf files at work, I convert them to *.docx and they look like this
.
Now I need to select only the dialogue from these files, so I need to select somehow all the lines of text that start at that line I drew just to indicate here.
The fuckers that made the script made the dialogue lines and the scene lines the same fucking font. I can select all the character names, because they are all in caps but i need an automated method of selecting only the dialogue lines, and the only thing that differentiates them is that they all start at the line.
I tried converting the pdf into rtf and importing the RTF into Final Draft, but then the Final Draft crashes.
Anyone knows a solution to my woes?

I just bought a new SSD and decided to switch out the old one and use this one as my main drive. I went to the official MS Windows Installation Media site here and downloaded the Windows 10 installation thing to a USB before I switched them out. After switching I stuck the USB into a port and booted up the computer, however, for some reason, the options that came up were ONLY for repairing a Win10 installation. Nowhere could I find an option for a clean installation. And since that drive is empty, there was nothing to be done. I thought I must have messed up with the USB so I went on my laptop and reinstalled it. Same thing happened.
What am I doing wrong, and how can I use a USB stick to do a fresh Win10 installation onto a brand new SSD?

Have you confirmed in bios that the new SSD is detected? That's the only thing I can think of off the top of my head.

Honestly, it sounds like you aren't even booting from the USB. Did you make sure to change boot options in BIOS?

I was thinking that as well? I feel like its something very simple, but since I'm not looking directly at it .. Im kind of at a loss.

In my searching I failed to either find or click on that link. A lot of what I found was talking about going into and making changes to my registry, which I am not super comfortable with. Can't really deal with it at the moment, but when I get time I will try it and report back. Thank you!None of the options on here work?

you tried the simple method first of opening app and placing it in the monitor you want it to default to, unmaximize it (make sure it's not full screen) then closing it right?
you believe it's a dvi/hdmi issue?

I think this is actually fixed in Windows 11, as it has all sorts of multi-monitor workspace fixes, particularly for machines that dock/undock frequently, not that I recommend 11 for any other reason.
