Hi everyone, As I’ve been using Linux as my main operating system for a while, I’ve been doing some virtualization experiments to also use Windows with it. I discovered QEMU/KVM and virtio/VFIO PCI-Express passthrough, but unfortunately, one of my CPUs doesn’t support the Intel’s VT-d extension. This extension is used to enable direct hardware access, which enables us specifically to pass PCI-Express devices to the VM and act like if it was connected natively. My old CPU was an Intel…

After diagnosing the issue and trying it on another PC, I realized that the card may have an internal malfunction preventing the Nvidia Windows drivers from working with…

Hi everyone, In case you may be wondering why I didn’t post something yesterday, it was due to a heatsink fan malfunction that caused my AMD Ryzen 3950x CPU to shutdown my PC. The fan started making some weird noises and wasn’t spinning correctly. This made the CPU temperature rise to the point of system throttling and eventually, shutting it down. I took this chance to see some CPU coolers and settled with the Thermaltake TOUGHAIR 310, which Amazon had…

Hi everyone, Recently, I came into this issue where my Lenovo Y720 laptop, with an Intel Core i7-7700HQ CPU seems to be stuck at running at 0.78Ghz even when the power options are set to High Performance. This issue would persist even when the machine is shut down and powered on again, for some reason. The task manager looks like this in this case: Laptops, especially those with dedicated graphics, would throttle down the CPU sometimes if the temperature gets…
