    Just upgrade Intel CPU or get AMD CPU/mobo combo for Plex server?

    From what I have read and have experienced with my shield TV's and HDR content. You must change the color-space setting to enable HDR, but if you leave it set for HDR, SDR content is dim and washed out, so you need to manually change it. Supposedly Nvidia is working on auto color-space switching...

    Just upgrade Intel CPU or get AMD CPU/mobo combo for Plex server?

    I agree I have 2. but HDR on the shield is still not perfect. You must switch the color profile each time you switch from SDR to HDR.

    Just upgrade Intel CPU or get AMD CPU/mobo combo for Plex server?

    I have a GT 1030 in my HTPC and it does not handle 4K content. From what I have read a 1050 or 1060 is needed and you must use windows for HDR.

    Just upgrade Intel CPU or get AMD CPU/mobo combo for Plex server?

    A newer gen i7 would be better, one that would allow hardware encoding using Intel quicksync. I am not sure if Plex supports AMD hardware encoding as of yet, you should check the Plex forums to see. But first, the issue may be with your HTPC, can it direct play 4K content? It seems like your...

    Where to begin diagnosing what's wrong with my PC?

    We are getting off topic. Had nothing to do with my graphics card or drivers. Already stated what the issue was.

    Where to begin diagnosing what's wrong with my PC?

    Good advice, however in my case bluescreenview and who crashed me gave no information that was helpful. Just that a video scheduler internal error had occurred.

    Where to begin diagnosing what's wrong with my PC?

    Are you running hardware monitoring software? In particular CorsairLink and any other at the same time. I had run CorsairLink and Aida64 together for years, up until about 6 months ago when Corsair made a change to CorsairLink causing very similar issues to what you describe. If so, see this...

    Bunch of 2 TB HDDs, best RAID/array solution?

    I have not tried running it in a VM. But do use Dockers and VM's in unRAID, they work great.

    Bunch of 2 TB HDDs, best RAID/array solution?

    I have built many NAS systems both FreeNAS and unRAID. For ease of use, unRAID is the way to go. It has a great web UI, lots of community support and setup is a breeze.

    It's all a conspiracy to get people to upgrade to newer processors. ;)

    GIGABYTE Z270X Gaming 7 LGA 1151 Motherboard Review @ [H]

    I built a new system with this board back in January. In the first 2 months, I had the sound issue once. Then it started happening every 2 weeks or so and then every other day. Needless to say, the board is out of my system and going back to Gigabyte. Just great, the main reason I picked the...

    NVIDIA GeForce Game Ready Driver 364.72 WHQL

    I have a Asus Strix 980. The system would lock 4 out of 5 times after leaving it, not allowing the system to sleep only the monitor in power save. I could game for hours without issue, then it would just randomly lock while web browsing. Not that much of my actual time, but running a full deep...

    NVIDIA GeForce Game Ready Driver 364.72 WHQL

    Hopefully these will fix the black screen lockup bug from the last ones. Nothing like building a new system, having it lockup randomly with a black screen. Spending hours testing everything only to discover its the video drivers.
