It’s always the same thing: someone tries to do you a "favor" that you didn't ask for and definitely don't need. How many times can you politely say, "Thanks, but I'm good," before they just ignore you and keep pushing? To me, this fake kindness is nothing more than pure aggression. Most of them are secretly—maybe even without realizing it—calculating how to corner you so you won't be able to say NO when they eventually come asking for some vague, ridiculous favor. And then they have the nerve to brag out loud about what wonderful people they are, how much they care, and how they're always there to help... yet the second you don't call them back within thirty seconds of their ringtone stopping, they act like you personally insulted their entire lineage. They're incredibly thin-skinned.
Honestly, God save me from these "good" people and their unsolicited favors... there are way too many of them out there. Total vampires.

I hate this too. It's happened to me where someone forces something on me and genuinely believes they're doing me a favor. I didn't want it, and it isn't kindness—it's just them acting like they're smarter than me and know what I need better than I do.☕

I’d say that someone truly good—say, they cover the medical bills for someone who can't afford surgery, just as an example—won't go around announcing it to the world. They'll just keep it quiet. To me, that’s what being a good person actually means. You help because you want to make a difference, not because you want everyone to know about it.

If you're a decent person, you give from the heart without expecting anything back. You just feel good because you were able to help. No math involved. As for what happened with this guy, that's exactly why you shouldn't go through middlemen. You weren't taken advantage of—you were straight-up scammed. It happens all the time.

Got it. I'll give that a shot. Thanks a lot👍

I have no idea why it isn't working now, especially since it worked fine for me before.
This is my

And this is the one; hopefully, it actually works this time.😛

Alright!

I've got a problem, just like the title says. One of the fans on my graphics card snapped. It's an NVIDIA GeForce GTX series. I can't find a replacement fan anywhere, and someone is offering me a used card www.gigabyte.com/products/p... for about $70. What do you guys think? Would this actually fit my rig? It's somewhat similar to what I have now, and I don't want to overpay—I just want a decent replacement.
The old one looks terrible when I'm gaming because the fan is totally busted.
My build is running an Intel Core i5 750 2 67 GH.

Thanks a lot

But there’s gotta be some kind of trick where those PCI slots are glowing blue; I'm going to mess around with it a bit more and see what happens...

Did you actually plug in the SATA and USB cables and seat the cards properly? Or did you skip one of those steps?

If you're hooking up a dual-slot card to an internal PCIe bracket connector, the jumpers need to be on the right. If you're connecting to an external port, then the jumpers go on the left.

I did all of that and still nothing. I hooked up the USB, plugged in the SATA, moved the jumpers from one side to the other... still nothing. 👎
I even tried running just a single card to test it. Still nothing.

it says—oh my god 😳—that they all need to be on the left, but mine are on the right. Man, I'm going to go try that now.
I'll let you know.

Yeah, depends on where the USB is located.
Moved everything around, still nothing...🤷

Did you plug in the power cable?

Yeah, I did. First, it said the equipment was like new and the PC would boot up again, so I tried that, but nothing...😕

Got a new PC, but there isn't a single PCI slot on the motherboard. I think this is the one I have:

I've got two older video cards from my old rig that I can't just toss, so I need to use them.
I bought this:
http://www.made-in-china.com/showroo...ound-Card.html

Ordered it through eBay and plugged it in, but nothing. It’s like the system doesn't even see the connection. I tried messing around with the BIOS settings too, but still nothing. What now?
Anyone got any ideas? I'm not looking to buy a whole new motherboard or new cards—I've already spent way too much 😵
Thanks

Maybe those guys have some solid advice to offer:
Personally, I think you should just petition the same court to lift the freeze.
