I've been using a custom built PC for a while now, and I've never had an issue with it. Recently, I forgot to clean it out and the PSU got dusty and overheated. I got a new PSU (Thermaltake TR2 430W) and suddenly the display doesn't come on, even though nothing but the PSU has changed. I figured...

I know there are already thousands of threads all over the Internet about this, but I'll preface by saying that I've already tried EVERYTHING. That said, the problem is this: When connected to an xfinity wifi hotspot, my computer tells me I have Internet access, but I don't. If I connect to my...

(Sorry if this is the wrong section) I'm planning on making a 2D platformer for the PC, but I don't know which language to try out. I know small bits of C++, C#, and Java, but mostly just simple if-then statements. Anyone got a recommendation for a powerful (I don't care about how complex the...

They are seperate. The modem is in our basement, the router is on the first floor, and I'm on the second floor. I use a desktop. My Mom is old school. Not a bad thing, she just doesn't know too much about technology ^^ And I'm more of a software person, so all of these is completely new to me...

0. ... w00t :3 1. Well, I know that my Dad's computer is like that, but I can't access his computer since it has a password. He gets back Monday so I can ask him. I'd do it to my computer, but I have absolutely no idea how. 2. We has broadband. Comcast. 3. Well, I'll still check if we have...

0. I'm terrible at all this network stuff. 1. What do you mean by hookinh just the modem up? Connecting my computer straight to the modem? 2. How do I find out? I think it's broadband. 3. I've confirmed it's not my computer. My sister's and mother's computers also have the same problem. When...

Another note, it's not only browsers. I just opened steam and had a game update of 1.3 gb. It told me the estimated time was 1 hour at 1,024kb/s. I started the download, and I get speeds averaging 10kb/s. It says a 2 day download ^^

Nope, that didn't fix it. Still taking 8 minutes to download this 2.3 mb mod for morrowind. I tested to make sure it wasn't just the servers and I started a download from the Humble Bundle. This 72 mb game is estimating 1 hour to download. That's normally how long it takes me to download a 1 or...

The Modem is a Linksys E1500. It looks to be from 2011. I just reset and I will now go try to download a file to check speeds.

Ya, and right now I'm playing CIV IV online ^^ So I'll reset it afterwards and let you all know how it went.

Maybe it is the router then. My dad didn't remember why he had it as a spare , so maybe that's why. I'll try a download on anothe computer to see if its only my computer. It also might be worth noting that when I go to planetelderscrolls.ign.com and press mods for morrowind, the page gives me a...

Indeed I have tried it. But now that I think about it, it could be the router. I forgot until now, but we replaced our router 2 days ago. Our old router was going bad (randomly dropped internet) so we replaced it with a spare we have. Could the new router be the problem?

Don't know if this is the right section, but I'm here anyway... As of 2 or 3 days ago, my downloads are insanely low. I'm downloading the morrowind Rebirth mod, which is a 316 mb file, and it's going to take 2 hours while I'm doing nothing else (7 hours if I start browsing the internet). This...
