Is there a way to run an Ethernet cable from the DSL splitter at the NID and have it go directly to a router? To me this doesn't seem possible because the modem has communication to make with Frontier that the router would be incapable of making on its own. Right now it is just RJ11, which...

The GPU mentioned in the title has never had an issue with playing games before now, and consistently remains below 50C when I am playing a game as taxing as Battlefield 4 on high settings. Fallout New Vegas (for a low resources example) runs just fine for now at about 30-35C. The same results...

I changed the RAM from channel B DIMM 1 to channel A DIMM 1, and moved the bios jumper from reset to normal. One of those solutions did the trick. Thanks so much for the help. If anything changes to make it stop again, is there a way I can update?

No idea if it worked or not. Never turned on to get bios. I will try RAM solution.

I have an Asus P7H55-M motherboard with an i5 655k CPU. When connected to a really old 305W PSU, a small green LED lights up on the motherboard. I connected a case switch to what I think is the proper location on the motherboard in multiple different ways. When I press the switch, nothing...

Running the deep check un-dirtied my hard drive and it started with no disk checks this time. How do I select an answer?

I will run the deep check and get back to you when it is complete. Also, the crazy thing is that CHKDSK will check all of the hardrives and volumes and not just the one that might be failing. And I am pretty sure they aren't all failing.

Is there another way to know if the hard drive is dying?

Okay, the boot manager issue has not resurfaced since the last time I posted. However, windows 7 just boots into a disk check and restarts over and over until all disks are checked and corrupted files have been deleted. This sometimes causes the computer to take up to 10 minutes to finally boot up.

I have fixed the boot issue multiple times, but then it tells me to do a disk check, then the boot manager is missing, then I fix it again. How can I fix the cycle?

Whenever I try to boot up my PC, it just skips the OS selector screen(I have another drive with Windows 10) and goes straight to windows 10 instead. Ideally it would allow me to select which OS I want to use, but it doesn't. When I override the boot with my motherboard, it tells me boot manager...

I had a budget build that I had to keep under $800, so I used hard drives from older computers. I was given an empty 60 GB hard drive recently. It has hindered the startup time of my computer a lot though and I am not sure if it is actually worth loading everything onto these two smaller hard...

My hard drive that I have currently is running out of space and is only 300GB. I want to add another, smaller hard drive to the computer (60GB) for moving some programs and definitely some pictures/video. My questions would be how I would go about doing such a thing and if it is necessary on my...
