Apart from making a NAS, I'm also looking to make use of this old machine and not just throw it out. If I upgrade the ram to 4gig, will it be a viable option to run TrueNAS installed on a seperate SSD, for 2x 1TB HDD?

Hello all, Recently I've thinking of making a basic NAS server for my backup need to basically get the photos and other important documents off my phones and on something more central. I looked around and most people recommended FreeNAS. Upon looking into it, it seems really powerful but it's...

I thought that'd be the case, but when the TDP is increased the CPU heats too much and starts throttling hard (0.4Ghz) in order to stay within limits. I've seen TDP of 20-25W go as high as 95°C which I'm pretty sure isn't the best for a laptop, or the CPU too in the long run. I tried getting an...

I figured out the problem. The VMWare adapters were the issue. I'd initially installed VMWare on an external HDD due to reasons. The system worked fine for 6 months. But apparantly a couple of days ago it started actually caring about them. Even after I'd uninstalled the VMWare adapters they...

Hello, I connected a wireless dongle, it showed up the same as using a usb tethering. Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing device, and the status is the same as the installed wireless card. Code 56. Sorry for bad formating I'm on phone.

Hello, as I don't have any ethernet adapters so I can't test that right now. I ran the troubleshooter, it recommended a network reset same as before. But after restart it didn't solve the problem. Sfc /scannow didn't find any violations and dism also didn't find any component store...

Hi all, I have a laptop with Ryzen 5 3500U with Vega 8 IGPU with 1GB VRAM. 8GB Ram, dual-channel and a 512GB SSD. I know this processor isn't all that bad ingame and has decent fps, but mine has been underperforming since the start. At first, it was due to the temps being limited to 70°C which...

Avita Liber, 3500U with integrated graphics, 8gb ram. Yes, well I did have some VMware virtual adapter installed but I've uninstalled them after this issue started. Now I've only got one adapter installed. Right now I'm using the internet via bluetooth. No tried usb tethering, detected but...

Hello, A couple of hours ago I restarted my laptop because it wasn't detecting my earphone when I plugged them in. After restarting the audio problem was fixed but my wifi adapter (Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 Wireless Network Adapter) was no longer recognised. I restarted my laptop again...

Alright thanks. I'll see what I can do.

Just games and documents from old pc

Yes both are on same HDD. Here's the screenshot,

System is very new 9 days old. C drive is using 118gb out of 361gb, D is 127gb out off 568gb. SSD I'm going to get is Crucial P2 250GB 3D NAND NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD - CT250P2SSD8 (https://www.amazon.in/Crucial-250GB-NAND-NVMe-PCIe/dp/B086BKGSC1)

Hey guys, so I have a laptop with only hdd in it and wanted to upgrade and get a ssd for windows. Now I'm first confused if I should use a software like macrium reflect to copy the windows partition to the new SSD or install windows again on new one and if I install windows on new one will I be...

So I tried chaging the adapter to another one I had lying around, but it wasn't the right socket so I couldn't use it. I just changed the 3-pin cable that connects to the actual adapter and it worked! I'm not sure why or how, but it did. I'm assuming that due to prolonged use, sparks may have...
