| 11:46 | <@abudhabi> | Hmm. Just adding the HDD into the box has drastically increased boot time. |
| 11:46 | <@abudhabi> | Not for Windows itself, but pre-beep time. |

| 13:15 | <&ToxicFrog> | POST generally waits for all the drives to be awake and reporting status |
| 13:30 | <@abudhabi> | Didn't realize that HDD takes so much longer than an SSD to wake up. |
| 13:33 | <&jerith> | Motors and inertia. |
| 13:53 | < Degi> | When I attach my external HDD it can take what feels like about two minutes |
| 13:54 | < Degi> | Is it normal that the startup time varies? Sometimes it is a few seconds, sometimes it stays in the BIOS screen for a minute (no external HDD). |

| 15:31 | <@abudhabi> | Does it still work aside from the damaged area? |

| 16:12 | <@gnolam> | "what idiot called it "YAML Parser Error" and not "A Series of Unfortunate Indents"" |
| 16:18 | < Emmy> | heeheehee |
| 16:21 | <&jerith> | gnolam: You may be thinking of subtly broken Python code... |
| 16:35 | <@gnolam> | YAML also uses whitespace to define blocks. |
| 16:35 | <&jerith> | I know. :-) |
| 16:35 | <&jerith> | But subtly broken is rather more unfortunate than parse error. |

| 18:40 | | * abudhabi is puzzled why his gaming box just died. |
| 18:41 | <@abudhabi> | Won't turn on. Even hotwiring it doesn't make it light up. |
| 18:43 | <@abudhabi> | Hmm. Different power cable in different socket didn't help. |
| 18:44 | <@abudhabi> | Mmm. Delicious low voltage current in the PWR wires. |
| 18:45 | <@abudhabi> | Preliminary suspicion is that either the power supply or the motherboard are bricked. |
| 18:45 | <&jerith> | PSU broke? |
| 18:45 | <@abudhabi> | How would I test the PSU to make sure? |
| 18:57 | | * abudhabi finds some tips on SU. |
| 18:58 | <@abudhabi> | Nope, PSU is fine. |
| 18:58 | <@abudhabi> | At least according to https://superuser.com/questions/23788/how-to-test-a-power-supply |
| 19:03 | <@abudhabi> | Awright, it started working again! :D |
| 19:04 | <@abudhabi> | I have no idea what I did, but apparently pulling it apart, testing, then putting it back together did something. |

| 19:11 | < Vorntastic> | Loose connection maybe |
| 19:12 | <@abudhabi> | Could be. |
| 19:15 | <@abudhabi> | In the process of eliminating possible causes, I have broken the power button. (Not that it worked really well to begin with.) And since I don't want to go to all the trouble of firing up the soldering iron, witness my new power button! |

| 19:21 | <&jerith> | I hope that's carrying 5V or whatever and not 220V from the mains. |
| 19:27 | <@abudhabi> | 220V mains would fry that. |
| 19:27 | <@abudhabi> | I know from direct experience. |
| 19:29 | <&jerith> | (Most of the PSUs I've worked on have been the older type that have the power switch on mains input.) |
| 19:36 | <@abudhabi> | This one isn't that old. |
| 19:37 | <&jerith> | I don't think there are very many modern computers that work with a PSU that old anyway. |
| 19:39 | <&jerith> | I forget the relevant standard, but pretty much all recent motherboards use the one that has the "connect these two pins briefly" kind of power switch. |
| 19:39 | <@abudhabi> | This one is that sort. |
| 19:49 | <@gnolam> | ATX, isn't it? |
| 19:49 | <@Tamber> | ATX standard is what most modern PC stuff is built to, where briefly touching the motherboard power switch header to +ve (I think) causes it to switch the PSU on (via grounding PS_ON pin) |
| 19:50 | <@Tamber> | AT power supplies (with the 2 ten-pin plugs for supplying motherboard power, that will fit on the wrong sockets and damage things) used to have a large switch at incoming line voltage pretty much inline with the PSU, I think? |
| 19:53 | <&jerith> | Yeah, AT vs ATX. |

| 20:16 | <@abudhabi> | gnolam: ATX/BTX per the label on the PSU. |

| 22:58 | <@macdjord> | abudhabi: The power switch on my desktop failed a couple years ago. I just changed the BIOS's 'On power loss' setting from 'Restore last state' to 'Start up', and now my 'power switch' is unplugging the machine for 10s. |
