I haven't done a malware scan, I installed Windows only a couple months ago and I don't download anything but games on Steam and Epic. I do almost all of my web browsing on a beater laptop. I think what I have in there now is the Corsair CX750M Temps always seem good, I forgot to mention them...

The best I can figure is the 5600 XT is downclocking but I'm basing that off of next to no information. If it starts happening, there's nothing I can do besides restart the computer. Usually it happens after beingplayed for a while, but sometimes it can be spurred to happen faster by a Steam...

I reset my modem to factory defaults, and unplugged it for a minute after, and also restarted the computer at the same time. Also, before I restarted, put these in the command prompt after running it as an administrator: netsh winsock reset catalog netsh int ipv4 reset reset.log netsh int ipv6...

This problem is driving me nuts and I've tried everything I can. I'm going to try to include everything wrong and everything I've tried in my first spin at this but I may miss something. First, the problem. I have 100Mbit internet, and Steam's current peak D/L speed is 1.2 MB/s. I do understand...

I hate to post this much, but I'm just posting as I figure things out, and still attempting to get the help I need to get this computer working correctly. Anyhow, I had another hard drive lying around that had Ubuntu installed on it from an old laptop. I unhooked my WIndows 10 hard drive and...

Another thing that just happened, I went to change what I'm connected to and it went from having ~10 SSIDs listed from around my apartment complex plus my phone and modem, down to just 1 other. Also I'm sure I said it earlier but everything in my house uses my 5GHz signal, while my PC can't...

A little update. I've connected to both my router and my phone set up as a hotspot. When I use my router I can't resolve any website but if I use my phone as a hotspot I can get some websites to load, but I'm not brave enough to do a speedtest because it is still incredibly slow. Basically...

The DHCP, is that a setting I'd change on the router? Because the router works great with every other device in the house. I don't want to mess it up for everything else in my house by shifting around some settings. I'm pretty sure the firewall is off. I haven't made any allowances for any...

I have a PCI card currently installed. I've tried 3 different methods and they all have the same issue, although the PCI is currently what's installed. I'll check out the DHCP thing.

A Windows 10 PC I bought from a friend won't connect to my router. He built the PC a few years back and he just formatted it and installed Windows 10 on it. My router's 2.4 GHz SSID pops up intermittently (sometimes it doesn't appear although a lot of my neighbor's SSIDs still appear) and my...

I should say, I didn't build this PC, a friend did and he's been using it as a multimedia PC hooked to his living room television. It's not a top-tier PC and I'm pretty sure he built it in 2012 or around that neighborhood. Everything is still basically current as far as components go.

There are a bunch of details here, and I'm sorry if they end up scattered, but I'll try to keep it short and simple. -I have an Arris TG1672 Telephony Modem. I only use it for Internet connection. No other features such as telephone are being used. -I have several Android devices, and a...

I'm checking out this motherboard right here, because it has every feature I want at a price I like. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-z97ar I've checked out the TH Best Mobo for the Money article, and the prices have gone up on the boards I was checking out, besides the Z97-A, but...

Just curious if this is even a possible combination of features. Looked at the TH Best Mobo for the Money article - http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-intel-amd-motherboard,3902.html - and the only one under $150 is the MSI Z97 Gaming 5, which looks fine, I just wanted to see if there...
