    M5A97 Ethernet Port Issue After Storm?

    So we had a GIANT storm last night, things were shaking and the boom woke me up at 2AM... Today I wake up and find that there is no LAN or ethernet. My internet modem seemingly works, as there is wifi working perfectly normal. But I am not sure how to test whether there is a problem with the...

    Connect Bose Sub to PC

    I have a Bose Acoustimass 10 III subwoofer, don't know if it's passive or powered, it has an AC plug so I assume it's powered. I want to connect this to my PC, whose motherboard has a single 3.5 out plug. Is this possible to do without a receiver? On the bottom of the sub, there is an "input"...

    Reset/Remove BIOS Password

    I shall reword the question: How do I reset the CMOS on a laptop? I've unscrewed the 710m, under and above, but the casing still adheres in the location of the DVD drive.

    Reset/Remove BIOS Password

    I have an old Inspiron 710m, and I abandoned it a few years ago when I (being unwise) created a BIOS password, which I don't remember.

    Win10 OEM Reinstallation Process

    I'm going to try and keep it simple: I bought a Seagate 1TB 7200rpm. AFTER I bought it, I read reviews that it dies within a year. I'm buying and installing Win10 OEm onto the drive. Will I be able to reinstall the OEM copy onto a new drive (which replaced the dead Barracuda)? Please explain...

    Component Manufacturer Decals or Stickers

    I know this is an utterly stupid and useless question, but how many manufacturers of components (Corsair, WD, Intel, etc.) have stickers or decals that come with the product, saying something like "Powered by Corsair" or whatever the name is? I got an ASUS one, G.Skill, and AMD FX-Series decal...

    MSI R9 280 and CX500M

    These are the build's main components: http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/ Will the M12II PSU from SeaSonic work fine with all these components?
