    [SOLVED] Really bad lag when trying to play games with my brother

    I was scrolling through a few different threads regarding Apex Legends. At launch nobody could play with somebody else on the same network as them, soon as you did it would kick one of you off the game. Somebody had posted a comment on that thread saying that for him all he did was disable upnp...

    [SOLVED] Really bad lag when trying to play games with my brother

    So, enabling upnp on my PC has done the trick. For some reason it has been disabled on my PC ever since I built it...

    [SOLVED] Really bad lag when trying to play games with my brother

    Right, a very quick update. I've just gone into control panel > network and internet > network and sharing centre > advanced > turn on network discovery as it was off. Also gone into services to see if UPnP was running and it wasn't, now my brother is able to ping my PC and is getting 3ms...

    [SOLVED] Really bad lag when trying to play games with my brother

    I've been pinging everything in the house, all is fine. Routers in an average of 4ms, highest I'd seen is 7ms. Everything else is basically 4ms average, no packet loss. However when my brother tried to ping my PC he got "Request timed out" all 5 times he tried. I assume that means that my PC is...

    [SOLVED] Really bad lag when trying to play games with my brother

    The router is just a standard router (Sagemcom PlusNet Hub One) that comes when getting Plusnet Fibre Extra, so it's definitely not the best but to say we never had issues before is what confuses me. Truth be told I can't actually remember what was up with the previous router, probably changed...

    [SOLVED] Really bad lag when trying to play games with my brother

    This is an issue that's been bugging me for a while and I've not be able to figure out what's causing it. I can't play games with my brother because of really bad lag. I'm pretty sure this started around the time I switched to PC, but it could have also been the fact we got a new router because...

    System not posting, is it the RAM?

    It's working now, it was either the 24 pin. Just taken both the 24 pin and 8 pin out but I realised the 24 pin wasn't all the way in. Thanks for all the help guys

    System not posting, is it the RAM?

    I'll make sure to check all of the cables when I get home. If I remember correctly though all of the cables should be plugged in because I put it all together to make sure it was all running, all the lights and fans were on, but I hadn't got my monitor at that point to check if it would post...

    System not posting, is it the RAM?

    This is what got me thinking it could be the RAM. "DDR4 MEMORY 1866/ 2133/ 2400/ 2667Mhz (by JEDEC) 2667/ 2800/ 2933/ 3000/ 3066/ 3200/ 3466 MHz (by A-XMP OC MODE)" That's what's listed on the specs list for the motherboard, also I have no idea what JEDEC is

    System not posting, is it the RAM?

    It's connected to the GPU and I've swapped between both the display port and hdmi. Also the ram is in the 2nd slot. I'm going to do some checks when I can later today.

    [SOLVED] Curved Vs Flat Monitor for 3D Modelling

    Hi, so I've just built my first rig so that I'm able to use Autodesk Maya whilst away from college as well as to game. So I know that there's not a particular winner out of the two (flat vs curved) and that it's fairly subjective but I want to know if a curved monitor may distort the models on...

    Radeon R9 390X vs GTX 980

    So it's basically that AMD use different hardware and software which allows them to fetch-decode-execute commands in a different manner to that of NVIDIA, meaning that two GPUs utilizing different architectures can never really be compared directly through specifications?
