Re-Purpose Intel Server Board S1200V3RPS for Windows 10

Good Afternoon, I have an old Intel Server Board S1200V3RPS in a old custom built server. I have been asked if that box can be re-purposed for a Desktop Machine (The hardware is still in great shape), but running Windows 10 Pro

--I can find a few drivers on Intel site that are for Windows 10, but no clear answer on if this board would work with Windows 10 Operating System

--I can't determine if the rest of the drivers would be pulled by the Windows 10 OS and so I would be good to go after running Windows Update.

--Does anyone know how to tell if a MotherBoard can be re-used for another OS, and which drivers would be required to get from the Vendor and which ones would be pushed through Microsoft Windows Updates, or would already be baked into the OS?

Thanks,

Justin

The user has a current TiVo Bolt. They have home videos that they have digitized, currently in .avi format.

They have a Synology NAS

Can they store their videos on the NAS, and play them back using their TiVo?

Thanks

I did not pull out my hard disk after an overnight backup with Time Machine. But this window popped up and shows the spinning wheel when I cursor over Cancel and Force Eject...

I tried relaunching Finder and can not Restart MacOS, since this hangs.

I hate doing a hard restart of my MacBook.

What are my options?

Thanks

Keyboard controller NPCE985LLA0DX

Laptop: Sony Vaio
Model: SVF152C29M
Product name: SVF1521B4E
BIOS Chip: Winbond 25Q64FVSIG
Motherboard: DA0HK9MB6D0 REV: D

The problem:
- The keyboard and the touchpad are not working at all anymore.

Questions:
1) Assuming I will be able to replace the Nuvoton NPCE985LLA0DX part, can someone tell me if this component needs programming or do I just buy it new and replace the existing one?
2) If NPCE985LLA0DX requires programming, then with what programmer do I have to program it and from where do I take the code/image to program it?

I have a Lenovo laptop Model Q551L that has backlight on the keyboard. When the Laptop first comes on the backlight comes on only momentarily and then goes right back off. I checked the Bios and it is updated to the latest version. What do I need to do to get the backlight to work properly?

Any feedback so far on the most recent updates for vSphere 6.7? I'm looking at updates from Esxi670 - 201903001 to Esxi670-Update02. These would be applied to Supermicro hardware. Just looking for any gotchas that would suggest waiting.

Thanks!

What's the best tool to use to get a list of all the devices on a network?
What's the best tool to use to do a thorough report on an individual machine?

In the past, I've used Belarc Advisor. I still think it's great, but I'm wondering what other techs use.

I am sure that you all are aware of Open Hardware Monitor (https://openhardwaremonitor.org/) or something similar.

Do you know if there is a similar program (to read temperatures, fan speeds, et cetera) that logs data so we can see it over say an hour, a day, a week, or even a month rather than just the real time data?

We are talk 2 - 3 servers plus some routers and switches. It looks like a fancy device that does not deliver UPS features. I think this is more what I need but this fancy PDU was offered in a quote so I figured I get acquainted with it before shutting it down...

I'm trying to clean a machine that randomly freezes.

I'm seeing lots of errors in the Event Viewer, some related to Permissions and VSS problems.

Can somebody please take a look at the screen snaps in the attached pdf file and try to make sense of them? Thanks

DVD drive controls windows devices

Are there any features/group policy options for WIndows 7/10 devices that could disable DVD drives from being used to write data to them, and only allow access based on exception/approval. I have seen some pricey DLP options but wondered if there is the same options as you can use for USB controls (e.g.bitlocker to go policies) on DVD drives for our desktop machines. Or any alternative solutions you deploy to prevent users burning sensitive data to a DVD, above and beyond disabling the drive itself?

From a security/management perspective, how do you handle devices that have not connected to your network/domain in a set period of time, and therefore would be behind on AV updates OS updates App updates etc, posing somewhat of a security risk? Are they simply allowed to reconnect at will, e.g. 3-6 months after their last connection, or do you do anything in AD or elsewhere in your network management process to deny them access to the network, and how do you go about updating them before they can reconnect, e.g. an 'offline' process? Or is it acceptable to let them reconnect and allow the update servers apply the updates in due course.

I have a apple laptop running their MAC OS X 10.13.6. For some reason neither shift keys nor caps log is working. Everything else works fine, except that I can't get any form of capitalizing of letters. I'm about to say that I need to take it to an apple store. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Steps I've taken thus far:
1. Rebooted
2. Powered off and left off with battery out for 30 sec.
3. Verified the "Speak selected text when key is pressed" was deselected
4. Verified "Enable Slow Keys" was off
5. Verified "Enable Mouse Keys" was off
6. Verified the correct US keyboard layout was selected
7. Deleted com.apple.keyboardtype.plist

Hello and Good Morning Everyone,

I wish to add a third HDMI device to my VIZIO television, but, it only has 2 HDMI ports. That said, I am wondering if there is a device which can be hooked up to my television which would extend or add HDMI ports. In concept, it would be similar to a USB hub. But, I am unsure if such a device exists for HDMI interfaces.

Any shared thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I look forward to hearing back from everyone regarding this question.

Thank you

George

Left handed laptop

Does anyone make a left handed laptop? I bought a wireless mouse but still my left hand (which holds the mouse) gets burnt from being right next to the fan exhaust.

Could I simply reverse the fan direction so the hot air went out the other side?

Logitech Keyboard K350 I have been to the site and looked up solutions tried them all. The board is only 5 years old. THE ONLY thing I did unusual is disconnect the cables took my computer outside and with an air compressor blew out the dust and cat fur...! Put it back the unit came back up and unfortunately the keyboard and my Logitech M570 stopped working. So I went to the closet pulled out the old PS2 keyboard and fortunately was able to type this message spent about 2 hours on it last night following all the rules and nothing so far. Does anyone here know what I can try. Again nothing changed but the dust cleanout........frustrated.....!ARRRR!
I have been here to downloads at Logitech the drivers and update software. Restarted No Change.
And here with many other pages too long to list here.

I have an Intel processor DQ965CO motherboard with the following specs and slots available. My goal is to identify the limitations of motherboard and figure out exactly how much more usage I can get out of this machine. Wanting to find out the best memory for it the best brands of memory if anyone has an Opinion. Finally what is the most powerful most performing memory I can put on the board for the best performance.

On this question about the Intel Legacy Board DQ 965 CO The machine has Vista for Biz but will soon have a new license of Win 7 Pro. I did study the compatibility documents on the link above.

This machine only shows a possible 8 GB of memory I wonder if it can take more and actually use it?
Under Compatibility/ Memory - I did pick up one thing about “low-profile DIMMs” So I looked it up and it says something about the speed of “low-profile DIMMs” So I can assume that I need to avoid those. However. How would I ever know if I was buyng a “low-profile DIMMs” vs how to know to get a High or Medium DIMM. sounds like Gasoline Octane..?
Wondering what is the best performing memory I can install for the board.
I have always like Crucial and Kingston. Are their any as good as but reasonalble costs. New or used?

I am including the images of some of the specs currently on the machine.

We have four new Deco M5 that are updated to the latest firmware version (1.3.0 Build 20190419 Rel. 70702).

My iPhone always says I have a connection (the three "WiFi bars" top right of the phone) but no connection when pinged.

See picture below.

I have reset everything and have solved a few times by changing the "main deco".

It's an every day thing that can take up to an hour to "trick" it into working.

What is going on?

We have a client that the logon process was unable to display security and logon options when CTRL+ALT+DELETE was pressed. When it doesn't respond nor by pressing ESC we have to restart the computer by using the power switch.

Even so, pressing ESC, all monitors go black and the mouse starts spinning and lasts until we power cycle.

Is this a sign of a failed/failing HDD?

I have a Dell Optiplex 3020 (SFF) Small Form Factor running Windows 7 professional.

The back of the computer has a connection or a DP monitor and a connection for a VGA monitor.

The computer has Integrated Intel HD Graphics 4600/ HD Graphics 4400/ HD Graphics

The CPU is Intel Pentium G3220 (Dual Core, 3MB Cache, 3.0 GHz, w/HD Graphics)

Serial - support Serial / PS/2 Add-in Bracket or Serial / Parallel Port PCIe Add-in Card
Parallel - Serial / Parallel Port PCIe Add-in Card

I currently have a monitor with a VGA connection to the computer.

I would like to replace the VGA monitor with two 24" monitors for a dual display (extended desktop).

Question: Can I attach a device to the computer's Display Port, that will allow me to attach two DP monitors and extend the display?

or Purchase a graphics video card and insert it into one of the motherboard's slots below, that supports dual monitors?

or if you have another suggestion, I am open to it.

Wanted to get verification on these so if you do not know please do not answer else other members that do will assume the question is answered.
This motherboard and memory question. What is the absolute max Memory with all specifications maxed (speed throughput that "BUS pipe thing"out I can use on this machine. I hope to get more use out of it. Since memory is so inexpensive. This Mother board

I can see it says DDR2, 8192 and 4 slots I have 4 chips with 1024 in each so I figure I can double it? Here are the slots...minus one that got cut off in screen capture.

In addition I thought that these two were good candidates but i am not sure how to spec these out with MGHz and Speed. DO they need to match all the specs seen here or are there things I can improve on and purchase something faster in the specs not shown here.
I thought this one from Crucial

or this one from Samsung

Your thoughts and opinions appreciated. Thank you!
