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 since MS recommends using O365 Word in its place).

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.

Try Synergy!

https://symless.com/synergy

This software allows you to use one keyboard and one mouse across multiple Windows, Mac and Linux systems with ease. I am in IT and use it between three desktops and laptops with different operating systems.

I bought Synergy when it was a kickstarter and I believe you can download and try it for free before you buy.

Worth a try, sincerely.

edit: Reddit has a few reviews on it just in case you want to ensure it’s a real thing and it’s not malware from an Internet stranger:

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/

Jonny 5: I’m alive dammit!

Definitely have to do it one by one. Process of elimination!

I’ve had times where I’ve pulled the motherboard from the case, laid it on a rubber cloth and hooked everything up one at a time to find the issue. Even had one time where the mobo was shorting out on a case itself. So yeah, it doesn’t hurt to do that. Good luck!

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.

Noooooo!

I’ve been following Anand and his replacements there at Anandtech since Anand only did early youtube type videos on Yahoo lol. Anand was considered a n00b by Comdex goers and reviewers alike. Back then, competition from the likes of Kyle @ [H]ardOCP, John @ AMDZone, cmdrtaco @ /., TheInquirer (now theregister), Sharky Extreme, Tomshardware and many others I honestly don’t remember off the top of my head that really ruled the roost.

Anand made a name for himself in the company of some very tough competition.

Hats off to the man and his team over the years, they had a really great run.

JD Vance has it in his shopping cart.

TL;DR: The answer is an astounding NO.

God of rain may not like that and send a zeus bolt at you… Otherwise I love it lol.

Pliers it is then… sigh

Don’t forget Pulse audio!
