    Question USB Ports not working after MOBO change

    I can't remember off hand (it was about a month ago, and it has been hectic, even though I am locked down.) I didn't need to back up data, I did a media creation tool, then it installed over everything. I was able to keep all my settings, if that answers anything. I have a question regarding...

    Question USB Ports not working after MOBO change

    I contacted Microsoft support, and followed their instructions on reinstalling Win 10. It did not resolve the problem. I have power coming from the ports, (I can charge things plugged in.) I don't know what to do going forward. It sucks only having two ports, especially when

    Question USB Ports not working after MOBO change

    I remember having to call Microsoft to fix the system, but I don't believe it was reinstalled. Ô, à full reinstall should take care of the issue? How do I see in bios if the ports are working?

    Question USB Ports not working after MOBO change

    Before the whole pandemic hit, I had my motherboard fry on my PC I built. I purchased a TUF B-450M Plus board, but since I already had the CPU installed in my old one, I was not confident enough to switch the motherboard, so I got a local repair shop to do it. When I went to pick up the...

    GA-AB350M-DS3H No Ethernet detected

    I tried to check that BIOS, but it was very complicated, and I didn't see where to click. There were two places, and I tried them both. I don't know if it did anything. I am not very strong in this area, that is for sure. I did check for hidden devices. I forgot to mention that. (I edited the...

    GA-AB350M-DS3H No Ethernet detected

    Good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone here would be able to help me with a problem I am having with my new computer. I built it with my son 4 months back, and up until the other day it was working beautifully. I went to use it the other day, and I saw the internet was not available (it is...

    Father and Son want to build gaming computer together but have no experience

    Like the title says... I've always wanted to build a computer system, and my 10 year old son has expressed interest as well. He really wants to get into programming, and he absolutely loves playing games, especially like minecraft or Terraria. We currently have an XBOX ONE, but we have both...

    Solved: Ethernet connection problems after changing ISP. Wifi works, but direct Ethernet doesn't.

    Solved this by unplugging both the modem and router, then waiting 2 min. Then I opened up CMD prompt as admin, and used winsock /reset. I restarted 3 times, and all seemed to be fine with all the rest of the computers.

    Solved: Ethernet connection problems after changing ISP. Wifi works, but direct Ethernet doesn't.

    Here's the situation: I have a computer that does not have a WiFi card, and is connected to the ISP router through a CAT5 cable that Bell installed. I have since changed over to Videotron Cable, and when the tech was here, all seemed to work fine. Little did I know that my old computer was...

    How can I upgrade my HP Pavillion a6030n?

    I currently own a system, but I think that it's a shame to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Before I commit to buying a system and throwing this one out, is there any way that I can update it? Here is what I am looking to do/currently am doing: I use the computer as my main entertainment...
