Well, just had my 3rd BSOD.
the Stop Code was : SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION (which I believe was also the stop code for the first one). and once again, it happened while browsing facebook. This is starting to get irritating.

Ahh, your "window" to pause feature updates/major releases must have expired so you are on 20H2.
I am guessing facebook is trying to do something uncouth with memory.
But you probably want to check and make sure your motherboard BIOS is up to date, and that your drivers are all also up to date.

Whelp, BSOD Number 4. Stop code: SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
Probably going to spend an hour or so tomorrow checking for Bios and Motherboard Driver updates, too tired to deal with this shit at the moment.

And now I had my facebook app on my ipad crash three times yesterday. I think it's this thread.

Anyone have any favorite mesh wifi? Our Archer C9 doesn't quite get get to the front of the house (lathe and plaster walls).
Wondering if I just need a wifi extender; I get signal but it drops frequently.

I've got an older Dell PC (I dunno, maybe 10 years old 8? Fuck if I can recall) running Windows 10 and it's got a 2.4GHz wifi card. I have no idea of any of the specs of the card, or how it's slotted, or anything. I can look them up I guess?
I'd like to replace that with a 5GHz one but.....what should I get?

OK, yesterday we had a power blip at the house and upon rebooting the BIOS was throwing up an error saying there was a problem with the CPU fan. This now seems to happen every other time the system is rebooted.
Given that there was a distinct cause and effect, I figure something has an issue. I'm guessing it's either the motherboard, the AIO, or the power supply. Am I right in that I should probably look at making some replacements here? The system is a few years old.

What is the BIOS reporting the RPMs of the CPU / AIO fan(s) on boot up? Is the CPU fan variable RPM (PWM)? If it’s variable speed if you adjust the RPM settings / fan curve is the fan changing speeds accordingly? Is your AIO pump plugged into a fan / PWM header on the motherboard? Which AIO are you using?
Some (hopefully) simple things to try before disconnecting the major components:
* Plug the existing CPU fan into a different motherboard fan header
* Plug a different fan into the fan header used by the CPU fan
Doesn’t sound like a power supply issue given how little power fans draw relative to other components especially if the fan is powered from the motherboard and not a molex / SATA power supply connector (I’m assuming it’s powered by the motherboard because the BIOS “sees” that fan). Hopefully it’s just bad fan(s) rather than the motherboard fan header. If it is a fan header if there’s another one you can use like “case” or “aux” that might be a workaround. You can also get a SATA / USB powered variable RPM fan controller but you may lose the ability to set a fan curve based on a temp.
Also get an AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulation) UPS, preferably a sine wave one, if fluctuating power is a semi-regular thing in your area.

My Orbi (AC3000 2 stations) seems okay, it doesn't piss me off on a regular basis and seems to do the job. I did have to convert it to access points instead of a router and ditch Disney Circle (which I liked) when I switched ISP's since the AT&T guy couldn't figure out how to bypass the AT&T router and I was getting some weird dual NAT issue. I have had the Orbi for 2.5 years and run 15+ devices through it and it covers a 3800+ sqft house (doesn't quite hit the backyard as much as I would like).

I have a 6-year-old Zenbook that needs a new power adapter. I don't think ASUS sells replacements anymore since everything is USB-C now and it's an older barrel-style plug ("ADP-45DW" is written on the casing and yields search results that look right). I would prefer one that does not burn my house down. Are there reputable third-party manufacturers in this space or is literally the whole market overseas fly-by-nights?

Did you contact ASUS?
Usually they have ways to sell you replacement power adapters that isn't obvious on their website.

Interacting with a human had not occurred to me, no. Nor was UL Listing on my radar as a thing to look for. Thanks to you both.
