Off Topic / Re: How do I uninstall Linux Ubuntu?

« on: February 24, 2013, 03:47:40 PM »

If you delete the partition (provided it's on the same drive) without reinstalling the Windows Boot Loader MBR code, you will not be able to boot back into Windows, as GRUB will be missing. If you've already deleted the Linux partitions and cannot seem to boot, insert your Windows 7 disk and enter Recovery Mode. Open a Command Prompt. I think the command is "BootRec.exe /fixboot" or something of the sort, if I'm wrong, there should be tutorials somewhere on the internet. If you can boot into Windows, install EasyBCD. After you get it running and have already selected the BCD Store to edit, click on "BCD Deployment", select "Install Windows Vista/7 bootloader to the MBR" and click "Write MBR."

ALRIGHT, LISTEN UP, I GOT A PROBLEM AND IT'S PISSING ME OFF

So recently, I built a new computer, and it worked fine for the first few weeks or so. Then, it started freezing. Not random freezes, mind you. It developed an oddly specific habit of freezing anywhere between 2-5 minutes after startup. I have Windows 7 Professional and an AMD Phenom II x4, but I can hardly imagine the processor freezing because of the strain of running windows. When it freezes, the mouse can move for a few seconds, then that freezes too, and the numlock key won't work while it's frozen, indicating a CPU issue.

Sometimes I'll get lucky and it will live past those initial 5 minutes and run with no problem forever. I'm using the stock cooler, but no overclocking involved, and the CPU idles at 39 degrees and never gets to any sort of dangerous heat level, and it never goes past 75% load.

Has anyone ever dealt with this stuffballs annoying issue or one similar?

I get this issue when I'm using Windows XP or any Debian-oriented Linux distro, it's got something to do with memory exceptions, meaning you probably got a faulty RAM stick, or a driver is causing memory exceptions. Uninstall any recently installed drivers. If that doesn't fix it, run Memtest86+ or the Windows Memory Diagnostics if possible.

I think proof of purchase (such as PayPal payment confirmation or amazon order history) would be enough to get the key back, contact support@blockland.us to sort this out.

Seems as if that's a bit overkill for your system, a 550W or 600W would do at peak efficiency
