    Question How to switch between headphones and speakers on a PC with only one green audio jack ?

    I used to have 2 green audio jacks on my desktop PC, with headphones and speakers connected to each. I could switch between them without unplugging, using an app called Audio Switcher (audioswit.ch), so output would come out of only one of them. But one green jack broke so now I have only one...

    Question USB ports stopped working, how can I tell if its a hardware or Windows problem?

    I plugged in and out a few times in short succession a wireless adapter to test it, and since then the USB 3 port I used and another such port next to it (which are both inside the same box on the motherboard) stopped working. Although I think I might have used the other one too at some point...

    Question RAM for gaming- should I add another stick or upgrade the current one too

    Yes, I saw that later on. Definitely has a "small print" quality to that statement... I also notice that the Corsair RAM I ordered is listed as DRAM, not SDRAM. Is there a difference or it's just terminology? On Amazon its listed as SDRAM, so I'm not sure what's going on...

    Question RAM for gaming- should I add another stick or upgrade the current one too

    Thank you for your answers. I found a good deal on 2 x 8GB Corsair Vengeance 3000MHz and ordered it. Having a CPU and motherboard with default 2133Mhz support, I guess I'll have to play around with XMP as you suggested. Or just use only 2133Mhz of the RAM's speed.

    Question RAM for gaming- should I add another stick or upgrade the current one too

    I'm thinking about upgrading my RAM to 16GB, only for the sake of better gaming performance. I currently have one 8GB stick of - FURY DDR4 2133MHz. I understand now that I'm losing performance because of using single channel. I also understand that its not optimal to mix RAM speeds or even...

    Windows 10 "Server" service periodically stops

    I use my PC to stream videos from the PC to a KODI box. When Windows starts, the "server" service (which if I understand correctly is responsible for sharing) starts as well. However during the day for some reason occasionally is just stops running. Then to share videos I need to restart it. Not...

    AVG can't remove "Trojan horse Inject3.AUPR"

    AVG has been detecting as of today a "Trojan horse Inject3.AUPR" every 5 minutes in my Windows/Temp folder. Each detected file is an EXE with some random name. I click to remove it, AVG says it has been removed succesfully, and then exactly 5 minutes later AVG finds one again. This is the said...

    (Sapphire Nitro) R9 380 4GB: Temperature issues?

    Hi I'm trying to decide between a GTX 960 2GB and a R9 380 4GB, probably the Sapphire Nitro. My concern are some reviews I've read about high temperatures of the R9 380, mainly IDLE temperatures around 50-55 c. Does anybody have the Sapphire Nitro R9 380 4GB and can attest if this is indeed the...

    PSU, Case and Fans for Mid-range gaming PC

    I've built the attached PC to order. I'm pretty confident about most of the parts, but I have a few questions: 1) Online PSU calculators indicate that I need around 400W power. So the corsair 550w should cover me, right? 2) I have no idea about cases. Is there much difference between cases? I...

    I have a "Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio" installed and I'm simply not getting any sound. My motherboard is an Asus P8H61-M LX. it says it has PCIe 2.0 ports. I've attached the sound card to it. I see the soundcard in the device manager. It says "the device is working properly." I...
