Hi guys, I just wanted to say thanks again for your suggestion - it appears to have been spot-on! I replaced the CMOS battery, ran memory tests, and everything appears to be good. The hard drives are currently in an external dock on another computer, having WD Data Lifeguard Diagnostics run on...

Hi guys, it's been a while. I could really use your help with this one, though - I feel like the water is right about up at my head. About one month ago, the breaker to my house was flipped (by a third party). Two computers were running at the time, and while "my" computer had absolutely zero...

You, or somebody else who uses your computer, has installed a program called "Plex." This program is NOT a virus - it's used to stream local video files. Think of it like Netflix, but instead of watching the shows and movies that Netflix decides to show you, you get to watch whatever shows and...

How much do you want to bet that THIS time, the leak brings down a rain of fire and brimstone... Simply because it leaked _corporate_ information, rather than consumers' information?

Don't forget the CEO walking away with a 7-digit golden parachute, and the IRS subsequently hiring Equifax for a seven million, no-bid contract. This is all just messed up on an unimaginable level.

Boy, this would be amazing. My money has been going to medical bills; either the steam wallet or the hardware would be an amazing bonus. The hardware would go to a friend who's building a rysen system (minus the graphics card ;) ) and the steam wallet, well... I haven't bought a new game in...

Nope, that's just the way torrenting software works. Don't even think for a second that it'll come close to filling your download bandwidth.

Honestly... I have the OnePlus 3, having come from google Nexus devices, and I have to say that it's the best phone I've ever used, and still performs perfectly when it comes to multitasking and such. The reason I was drawn to it was the amount of ram that it has; I typically leave 30+ tabs...

Shrapnel_indie, try using incognito mode. (At least on chrome for android, that fixes it.) It's been doing that for a week and a half now. Tonytran, this is a giveaway to have a chance at winning one of the computers that was already picked as one of the "best builds." If you win, you get sent...

Hmm, sorry I missed it, _Johnny5. Between some health issues keeping me away from "sit there and read tech news until an actual issue arises" (cough cough, I mean... Work productively, obviously) and serious problems accessing Tom's Hardware on mobile, I haven't been around as much. I'll keep my...

Actually, _Johnny5, I do have some feedback. Could we pretty please get a news post announcing that you're taking submissions for entries into the competition? I keep meaning to submit builds, but I don't haunt the Systems forums and have never once successfully caught a build competition...

Hey, I just wanted to say thanks for making us input our profile ID. Dunno if it was intentionally for this reason or not, but it seems to be totally preventing the thousands of gleam.io giveaway bots that normally make things like this pointless. That makes me very happy! Good luck to all...

So, an update to this: I just noticed that my server is having almost the exact same issue. The only difference is that, on the menu that lists available internet connections (Sorry, I'm not quite sure what to call it. It's what you get when you click on the network icon in the taskbar.), it is...
