This badge also appears to no longer be working for myself and a few others. Perhaps something to look into.

Whoops, I just realized I never got this badge. Too late to add it to my account?

Congrats to all of the winners, and thanks to the sponsors and everyone that helped organize such a huge event for a relatively new community! Amazing stuff.

Woohoo looks like the issue is back! No updates since, so maybe it's not Windows Updates after all. Starting tomorrow I'll be out of town, and I'll be bringing this desktop with me. Hopefully it won't be too frustrating and I'll get plenty of opportunities to diagnose.

It indeed seems to have been fixed with the second Windows update. Only thing that's unusual now is it wakes itself up from being asleep about every other day, which it's never done before. Much easier thing to look into though, I haven't toyed with anything yet.

I didn't have any time Monday night, but last night I played around with it for a little bit right before going to bed. I tried running everything as it was and got the same issue. I saw that I had some new Windows updates available, and installed those and restarted. That appears to have resolved it. I'll do a few more rally stages today to confirm. If that's the case, to me that clearly points to Windows updates as the original cause here, but it's odd that it wasn't resolved when the problematic updates were uninstalled. Perhaps that's just an idealization of the situation and uninstalling Windows updates doesn't always work cleanly? Never had to uninstall updates before so I'm not sure.

Just swapped out my 3070 Ti for one of the tried and true 1070 Tis so I can use it for testing in another rig. Just submitted a request for a hardware change. @u3b3rg33k how's your hardware holding up? Looks like @Hacksword has been mia from the forums for nearly a year now. I'll look into recruiting someone else. I should definitely check on our stats/points outputs more often.

I'll try a studio driver tonight and may play with clocks. I'll also try a hardware swap, though I doubt that's the issue if it's running flawlessly when under load.

Alright, update (but not Windows update) time. I uninstalled two Windows updates from 2/22, roughly the time this started. Not sure if it's the exact day. Uninstalled GPU drivers again with DDU in safe mode, reinstalled, disabled fast startup. Same issues. I triggered it consistently, three times this evening. All three times, the screen froze for a few seconds, then went black with a cursor. All three times, I tried to manually restart video drivers with Ctrl + Win + Shift + B. The first time, it did nothing, and then restarted on its own. The second time, it half-recovered before I could even hit the shortcut. Game window was black, but I could return to Windows and keep using my PC. Game would have to have been restarted, and the "night light" was reset, but otherwise functional. Just a typical video driver crash. Third time was same as the first; shortcut did nothing, then it restarted on its own. Attached is a screenshot of the relevant event viewer error. Do you guys have a suggested video driver version to roll back to?

In as CptAsian. Thank you guys for organizing!

Black screen but I still have audio, sometimes the audio will loop after 20 seconds of continuing to play normally and then it'll restart automatically. I'll try Ctrl + Win + Shift + B though. Never heard of that before, interesting to see that function bound to a keyboard shortcut. I'll try that if the issue persists when I'm next on my sim. I don't think I had any Windows or driver updates around that time. Are Windows update logs or some sort of update history in Event Viewer to double check that? I remember it's a thing but it's been years since I've looked. I don't think I get auto updating drivers, but I'm not 100% sure. My Windows settings aren't super consistent across my PCs. I'll try disabling fast startup right off the bat though, can't hurt. I did see that mentioned once when Googling, but I didn't think it was relevant. Perhaps it is, haha.

Phoenix V3, so 2080 Ti. I should have mentioned that I did check event viewer and it mentioned the 'ol nvlddmkm, which I interpret to be video drivers. I uninstalled with DDU and installed newest drivers; behavior didn't change at all.

Starting mid last week, I'd exit to the main menu of a game or close a game and after a few seconds, video drivers would appear to crash, wouldn't recover, and I'd have to restart my PC. This is my racing sim PC that's acting up, so I've only tried this with iRacing and Dirt Rally 2, but both exhibit this behavior. Oddly, once restarted, I can use my PC normally and while playing a game, everything runs perfectly. Has anyone experienced anything like this? Any suggestions? I don't recall anything changing around the time of this issue starting.

Neat, I figured it was something along those lines. I've somehow never seen one before.

Updated! All added, thanks for posting! Nice collection. Honestly I don't think I've heard of the Aqua King switches before, I'm curious about how they feel despite my typical lack of interest in linear switches.

Looks good. What's the cover over the rearmost side windows? Some sort of mount for something?

Can confirm, I've played a decent amount of FH5 on my Steam Deck with zero issues whatsoever. I've spent so much time in driving/racing games with an Xbox controller though that I definitely drive better with a separate controller rather than the Steam Deck controls. Not sure if that's something that others experience.

Exciting stuff! Vorons have interested me for sure, but I'm 100% not in the market for another printer at the moment. Will you be posting updates somewhere as you build/run it?

Yeah that's been the theme for them for the past several years, it seems. Frustrating to see, and considering they've rotated team principals a couple times recently, I think it's becoming clear that it's a larger, perhaps organizational, issue. That reminds me of the Williams situation, I'd assumed that a lot of their troubles were due to the fact that running a "family" team in the traditional format doesn't work in the modern era of F1, and that the structure of the team changing would fix their woes, but it doesn't seem to have done so yet. I'm interested to see what their next few years will look like.

Bumping this thread to see if anyone that's joined EHW recently has some motorsports interest. What series will you be watching/following this year?

What I remember hearing was the Aventador was going to be the last V12, and the Huracan replacement would have a TTV8. I could have things confused though.

That's neat, I'm almost surprised it's still an NA V12. Maybe they said that earlier and I missed it or something though, I haven't been following what Lambo's been up to super closely as of late.

Looks good! Updated photo and added keycaps to the list.

Ah, I'll definitely consider that. I've heard about foam packing, but haven't seen an example of an exact type of foam that's usually used, so the Amazon link in your previous post is super useful. Thanks!

Yikes, fingers crossed.
