    Router or Switch first after Cable Modem?

    Nukemaster, sounds exactly like the problem I was having on DSL with my Netgear intergrated modem/ADSL2+ router, all sorts of messages in the log files slowing of traffic. Actually fixed it by going back to OLDER firmware and barring any update checks or requests. Right now I have an ARRIS...

    Router or Switch first after Cable Modem?

    I may go with a gigabit router but would still have to deal with only 4 ports at modem location (doesn't anyone make a gigabit wireless router with more ports since it needs to provide DHCP). My current is just 10/100 and although the PC's have 10/100/1000 adapters I'm limited off the old...

    My computer turns on but the screen is blank and the fans don't turn on besides the PSU fans.

    I'm having the same problems. I had multiple CPUs so I tried another same results. NO FANS on CPU or CASE, but PS fans run, HDD spins. It's not the CPU because both work in another Gigabyte and MSI motherboard. Someone said BIOS, maybe, but the FAN ISSUE puzzles me??? Looking for answers.

    I have an a older HP media center PC m7250n that has been a workhorse outlasting newer laptops and desktops that have died shortly after their warranty periods ended. It's a secondary PC that I have updated with better video, a larger PS, hdd so I thought why not take the CPU to a Core2Duo on...
