    Finally ran Memtest. No errors after two passes so I doubt that's the immediate problem (but what do I know?).

    Started uninstalling lots of stuff to see if it magically fixes itself. :rolleyes:

    I haven`t been on these forums for like 2 years but it is as good as anytime:

    How frequent the issues are? Memtest is usually a good test to see whats happening, as it is testing both your memories and memory controller, so it seems like it is either an intermittent hardware issue or software.

    Software: Are you opening those files with a specialised program? If the program is misbehaving/glitches (for example misinterpret data) that can cause memory leaks/failure if it loads garbage into RAM.

    Hardware: So you have an i5 4670k, and the motherboard and CPU is 7-8 years old probably. Over that many years you can have leaky capacitors or generally worn out components. It depends on how expensive components your motherboard/cpu/RAM uses or whether you got lucky/unlucky. I would start investigating the software issues first (maybe try to use different software to import data), as hardware is expensive to replace.

     

  2. just to put Guillermos post into English:

    Just simply tie all grounds to ground and neutrals to neutral, and switch the live with switches.

    Your diagram  you are switching the neutral while the device always has live. I would advise doing it the other way around.

    Lets say you need to change bulbs. With your wiring it will always be live, no matter if switch is on or off. 

    If you switch live to them instead of neutral , then you can switch off the power and they wont be able to shock you.

  3. just a note:

    if you are on a budget (or anyone) and wants a good and cheap brake, you cannot go wrong with shimano.

    I had a Deore (not sure about model number) at the back and SLX at the front on a street trials set up with 180mm discs, and they worked perfectly for a beginner, especially for the price of around £50 each

  4. Also, if you want a decent phone, look into mid range.

    Generally speaking, high end phones and mid end phones have largely same internal components (maybe the high ends have a teeny bit better, but nothing extremely note worthy), and the only things you are paying for is a name and gimmicks

    I have a Note 8, just because I love shiny electronics, and I like the pen as a gimmick. 

    A oneplus 6 which has really similar specs and nice display and everything you want in a high end phone, I would look at it if I were you

  5. I was missing 1 part from the vid:

    If you like what you see then LIKE THIS VIDEO, SMASH THAT SUBSCRIBE BUTTON AND HIT THAT MUTHAFUKKIN BELL TO BE IN MY NOTIFICATION CREW!!!!!1

    This video is sponsored by PENIS PILLS, if you want to have A HUGE PENIS TAKE THESE TABLETS, AND NOW WITH 20% OFF IF YOU SIGNUP WITH MIKEVLOG CODE, Do it now!!!!!!!!

    In the next video we will play Fortnite so make sure you tune in 8pm tonite!

     

    But yeah, as said before, your riding is decent, but the only part that is missing is something,, extra? Like Ali C vlogs are good, as it is about a great rider, showing behind of the scenes of his videos, some of the Team Toast videos are decent as it is full of banter.

    There has to be something extra if that makes sense?

  6. I rode on an off in Northern Ireland for a few years, and I moved to Leeds 2 years ago.

    I brought my bike over, hit up the Bike soc like hey, any more trials riders, and they told me that yeah, there are some BMXers and some trails here.

    I was riding on and off for a year, but my mate rode BMX, and it was difficult to find spots for both of us. I tried BMX last year, but it was short, too high gear ratio and just weird.

    I could not find anyone here, especially at my skill level (pretty poor). That big isolation was kinda the last nail in the coffin. I am still back here lurking, looking at the sales forum, and if something 24" cheap comes up nearby I might get it, but it is getting to a 3rd hobby, especially next to full time work.

    Haha, cheers Hippy. I spoke to Silvercar yesterday, unfortunately they don't do multi-city rentals, and once we leave SF we won't be returning so it doesn't work out but really appreciate the heads up. Nice cars and great prices as you say! Apparently they used to do multi-city, but it was a $350 additional charge so for the few days we need it probably wouldn't have worked out anyway!

    fair enough, I was thinking about multi city as well, but it was cheaper LA-SF-LA with an extra day in SF with a car

    Have a great trip! 

    **and now I am going back to lurking mode**

    Cheers for the heads up, shall take a look tomorrow. Drifting isn't really my thing but if there's a Formula D event while we're there it could be worth checking out, and we going to need a decent car to trek around in - will be driving from at least SF to LA/SD and I don't fancy an i10...

    Edit: Formula D tickets are $5 each which is cool, bit we come home the day before the first round :(

    Sorry to hear about the Formula D part, great fun

    silvercar actually have a %30 off sale, A4 with insurance for £45/day. I dont want to sound like a salesman but it was easy and great and minimal human contact (not sure if I can post links here, but just add .com)

     

    I will post something happy as well:

    I had a lovely date with a lovely Portuguese girl on Friday, and she is coming over on Friday to taste my carbonara :D

    Flights booked for California over Easter :)

    try to go to Formula Drift "if" you are into cars, really great race and you can go upclose to cars, ask questions and so on

    Also if you want to rent a car silvercars is neat, brand new audi A4s with wifi and leather seats.

    I was there last easter, greatest 2 weeks of my life

    You know the rules. Lets be avin' a look

    Black spot= dirt on lens

    i wanted to write something very personal and meaningful, but without exposing it to the world with a quick glance, so thought ASCII encoding would be the best. Which actually shows how big of a nerd am i. It heals nicely, I love it

    Going backwards :P Watched season 3, currently on season 2. S2E6 is my favourite episode so far. It's the one with the car battery. The pickle episode was great too, as was the one you mentioned.

    Which would you recommend? 

    all of them

    Every episode has a great message in them

  12. House is in great condition finally, needs some bits and bobs, but it will be sorted. 

    Also this is one of the first time in my life when I WANT to go home, as everything is so nice and perfect. I am proud to say that I live in my dream home :)

    I have just started work in Dewsbury, the work is nice and chilled, quite challenging, main issue at the moment is to getting used to waking up 6 am. Also, salary is nice (standard industrial placement money)...

    Which means, slowly I am looking into buying a car again in 2 month time (2 part of September), as I have money, and insurance for an R56 Cooper S/Clio RS197 is £1000, insured to my mum`s. 

    I finally feel like I am getting my life together, which is compared to my previous state, feels amazing.

  13. Finally moved house!

    It was/is a proper pain in the arse, hob does not work, shower was weird, windows are seized (chances are previous tenant loved the previous landlord), but the place is amazing(and these are being sorted by my new landlord/agency)!

    I am sorting my life out bit by bit, finally I feel like my life is going forward. If this is how it feels to be adult (a mixed bag of crap with stuff moving forward) then I cannot wait :)

    Also I just got a random email with a job application, where I cannot apply atm (I need some more papers) but they are looking for similar guy than me, with a salary of £40 per hour, so I know which way I will direct my studies :)

    No, you'll pay 9% of £9000/12 so £67.50 which is a fairly small amount of money. In actual fact it's likely to be less because it's probably taken after salary sacrifice stuff, tax and NI etc. so it'll be less than £50 or thereabouts. I think.

    Edit: and even less with the £21k threshold Luke mentioned.

    alright, that is great, I got that mixed up

    Although I am pretty sure that the new threshold is £18K at Northern Ireland student finance

    I just wanted to add some points there as from someone who is in there atm, not arguing :D

    But yes, to have 10,000 students on student finance as they want to be students for 3-4 years that is way too expensive 

    The system in Hungary is a bit different ( it might have changed multiple times in the past 6-7 years):

    Students have 2 options:

    A: pay roughly £2000 per year by own/parents pocket (that is quite bit of money considering  £1200 is a good salary there)

    B: be a good student  (really high grades required) and the government pays for it ("free")

    I think option B would help here to make sure not too many "YOLO" students are going

     

    NOTE: if none of these makes sense, sorry, I am staring at physics books whole week long, I have not had human contact apart from my flatmates for a week
