I have recently developed a boil in my diaper area that is becoming painful, and was wondering if anyone else here has had this issue before. I have never had one before, and don't know why this suddenly appeared. I shower pretty much every day, only missing getting cleaned up occasionally. The boil got painful enough that one night after work I took a safety pin and punctured it to relieve pressure on it. It drained pus and blood, going down in size quite a bit though not completely gone. It has now started to come back, but it's not as big yet. I looked up treatments for them on youtube (I punctured it after learning that I shouldn't have done it), and what I'm seeing are things like: -warm compress -tea tree oil mixed with coconut oil -turmeric paste -drawing salve I have tried to refrain from diapering up while this issue is there, and am hopeful that I can go back to it once it goes away. I usually sweat a lot down there even when not diapered, and wonder if that could have been part of while this boil showed up.

I probably am, but I'm never signed in while on the computer. I use an ad blocker on the pc, but don't have one on the phone though.

I don't know if this is where this needs to go, but I've been noticing lately that I'll get a lot of ads for LL Medico on my phone while watching youtube. Sometimes it is just for walkers and canes and the like, but many times it is for Abena diapers. I don't look at anything like this on my phone, so I was surprised when I saw these ads popping up. Any ideas why they have started showing up on my phone? I kinda don't want to watch youtube in public anymore since I don't want one of these ads to pop up and be questioned about it.

I had a thought the other day about applying baby powder without getting it on my hands before sticking the tapes of my diaper. I've noticed a lot of times in videos from Asia, most likely Japan that the caregiver would apply baby powder using a little hand mitt or something that was kept in a container of the powder. I was wondering if anyone knows what this is called, and if they are available in the US? I wasn't sure where to post this, so feel free to correct me if this is in the wrong place.

I have gotten a new cpu for my test build, an AMD Ryzen 5 5500. I have it installed now, and it appears to be the fix for getting this thing running again. It has been running great so far since putting it in, and it is also running a lot quieter as well. I'm kinda glad to have gone through this hassle (sort of), since it is teaching me some things about troubleshooting. Now I just need to put the actual pc together and I'll be able to play games and stuff again too.

I think there are stress test programs for the cpu, but I can't get the pc to run long enough to do anything. I had tried to do a fresh install of windows11 to my C drive to see if that would do anything, but it never got all the way through the install without crashing. Now it is acting like there sin't an OS on the disk at all. I'm not convinced that this isn't geek squad's fault to some extent now. When they first built the pc back in april of 24 they never removed the film from the cpu cooler when putting it on. I never realized this until I went to swap it into the case I'm using for the test rig. I have removed the film, but I wonder if the damage is already done.

The MSI B450 mobo isn't in this test rig that I'm running at the moment, and it is using a different psu as well as gpu too. The test rig is running a Gigabyte B550M K mobo, a Gigabyte Nvidia Geforce GT710 gpu, a Thermaltake Toughpower GX2 600W psu. It is still using the same ram from before (Corsair DDR4 or Crucial DDR4), and the same cpu and cooler (Ryzen 7 5800X and a Thermalright Peerless Assissin 120mm air cooler). All of the parts in the test rig other than cpu, ram, and cooler are brand new pieces. I have also tested out 2 different disks, one of them being hdd and the other being an ssd. The hdd I had gotten Windows11 to install to, and the ssd had Windows8.1 on it already. Neither showed any improvement of the blue screen problem. I have all of my components to build my main pc again, but I was wanting to try and figure this issue out first. If desired I can post all the new components in another post later. Getting tired.

I have tried different sata cables and ports to no avail. My dad even let me try an ssd with 8.1 loaded onto it, and was no helpl A coworker suggested maybe a failing cpu, which I hadn't really given much thought. I pulled my cpu out of my old pc, which is an AMD FX 9590, but I don't know if this would fit into an AM4 socket or not. The test rig is running a Gigabyte B550M K mobo, the ram that I was using before, and the Ryzen 7 5800X that was in the pc before as well. Stop codes have been things like: PFN LIST CORRUPT SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION something about spaceport.sys something about partmgr.sys bxois.sys PFN LIST CORRUPT is the one I have been seeing most often, but it does seem like the codes change quite often too, which is making this very troublesome to try to pin down.

I got my copy of windows 11 to install to an hdd that dad let me borrow, and within 5 minutes at the most from getting to the desktop it's been bsods like crazy again. I haven't even done anything on the pc with this drive, and every stick of ram that I've tested with memtest86 has passed. I still have one stick left to test, but I can't see it failing if all the others have passed. Any advice before I chuck this thing out in the snow? It's very annoying. Could my store bough copy of windows be bad possibly?

I borrowed a hhd from dad, but when I went to install to it I got an error saing "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks." It also said "Bootmgr is missing Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart" when I had the drive set to be first in the boot order in bios. I'm thinking of buying a cheap hdd and trying again, just to eliminate the variable of my ssd.

The SSD is about 8 months old, or at least that's how long I've had it. At the moment I can't do anything with the pc. When I turn it on, it tries to continue the windows install, but always blue screens by the time it gets to downloading updates. Then it goes back to the start, and goes no further the next time. There is nothing on the drive I can't live without, so that isn't as issue, but it would be nice to have this figured out before I go to build my main pc. Thanks again to everyone for their assistance with this problem.

I've been getting more bsod screens with the test rig. I was talking to a friend, and he said it sounds like it could be a dying ssd. I tried to do a fresh install of windows 11, and it was blue screening during that too to the point that while trying Automatic Repairs it just froze up entirely. This is making me not want to put my actual rig together yet, at least not until I can figure out what is causing all this headache, and hopefully how to avoid it with the main rig. I have some pretty expensive components ready to go, but am hesitant to get it started right now. Error codes were more of the usual that I've been seeing. PFN LIST CORRUPT is the main one though.

I have now built a test rig to test out the ram that geek squad was saying is bad. I'm using memtest86, and so far it is passing all of the ram that I've tested with it. I was getting similar bsod errors with this rig, as I am reusing the sdds that I had in my pc before, but am wondering if it would be worth doing a reinstall of windows? I have found my install usb now, so that shouldn't be an issue anymore. I have noticed that the bsods only seem to happen when I am booted into windows, but not when I go into the Bios. I don't know if this info helps or not, but I wanted to give as much detail as possible. The cpu seems to be running around 35-40 C at idle in the test rig. It is only using the cpu cooler, since the case I borrowed from dad has no real room for my 120mm fans anywhere (really old case). Unlike geek squad, I remembered to remove the film from the cold plate on the cooler before installing it, so that should be helping a little bit.

I have another update. I now have all the components that I ordered, and I'm looking forward to trying to put this thing together soon. I want to try to put a cheaper pc together first though, so if I make any mistakes I'm not damaging more pricey parts. My test build will reuse the cpu from my computer before, since the new build will be AM5 Socket, and won't be able to use that AM4 cpu anyway. I have borrowed a case from my dad, and I have a Gigabyte B550M K mobo, a Gigabyte Geforce GT710 gpu, a Thermaltake Toughpower GX2 600W psu, and I'll be reusing a storage drive ssd from my main build. I'm not planning to put any optical drives or anything like that in the test build, since It's main purpose is to see if I can put a pc together on my own or not, and to test the DDR4 ram I was using in my computer before. Any advice to a complete novice as far as building goes? I also found an old tube of thermal paste (like 10 plus years old), and was wondering if this should be thrown out, or could it be used? Thanks a bunch for all your help already.

I think I have a good update this time. I have received an email from Newegg's claims department that the replacement order is placed, and it should be shipping out by the end of 12/13/24. That is so good to hear, since I want to be able to put this thing together to find out if i am correct about the old mobo causing a lot of these issues. I have a copy of windows to reinstall with if need be, but would rather not have to do that. Edit: I have now received an email showing that I should receive the parts on Monday. Happy dance time. Too bad I can't dance.
