    Question Seemingly random Instant PC shut off ?

    Hmm.. everyone seems to believe it's a power loss issue then. Which would be external and not a return of the PC nightmares I had to suffer from for months from Dec - Feb. Apologies all, if that made me annoyingly skeptical... I really hope it was just that and I don't have to worry about it...

    Question Seemingly random Instant PC shut off ?

    Yes, that much is true. But on two different circuits simultaneously? What is the likelihood of blowing two completely different circuits at the exact same time, exactly the same way (not fully tripping but just a millisecond trip) multiple times in the same day? No other devices flickered, as...

    So I did, thank you. I've edited the PSU in.

    Question Problem with Ethernet since changing Motherboard and CPU ?

    Just a quick update. I switched to Wifi yesterday, and it dropped me from my 900 paid for Mbps download to 200-300. But I got around to a reboot while it was powered off and I hooked up that antenna thing that came with the motherboard. Seems I'm getting very close to the 900 now. I haven't...

    Question Problem with Ethernet since changing Motherboard and CPU ?

    Tried the IP as a URL, it does indeed bring me to the gateway and I was able to login without an issue. I used to do this with 192.0.0.1 or something like that, but this was like 4 years ago or so when Shaw forced me to switch out to their new router and I guess I forgot exactly why I couldn't...

    Question Problem with Ethernet since changing Motherboard and CPU ?

    It's not so much that I'm reluctant, I would try it right this second if I had a spare brand new cable to test right this minute. I'm disabled and arranging transport to the nearest town from my very remote location is... a bit of a process to say the least. I'm better off ordering from amazon...

    Question Problem with Ethernet since changing Motherboard and CPU ?

    You really think this could be an issue? This cable has run flawlessly for 10 years across several PCs... it would be really odd for it to just suddenly be flawed exactly aligned with when the new PC hardware got installed. Especially since adapter cycling always fixes it instantly. I won't...

    Question Problem with Ethernet since changing Motherboard and CPU ?

    @Ralston18 Alright, I've set the DNS addresses I think. View: https://i.imgur.com/vl7utar.png Same for the IPv6? View: https://i.imgur.com/7RgQWW9.png

    Question Problem with Ethernet since changing Motherboard and CPU ?

    @Ralston18 "carefully look the various router configuration menus for any such references" I'm probably really slow about this, sorry, but what do you mean by that exactly? The communications company is Shaw, yes, though Rogers has recently bought Shaw out and I'm sure there will eventually...

    Question Problem with Ethernet since changing Motherboard and CPU ?

    Yes that's correct, completely fresh Windows install. I've edited the main post with the information. Hope this helps. Thanks for taking the time to take a look. Apologies for the delay, I don't have a ton of computer time at the moment.

    Question Problem with Ethernet since changing Motherboard and CPU ?

    I've noticed one issue with using this computer since I put it together a couple weeks ago with a new motherboard and CPU. It is very similar, almost exactly, to what this user posted in this topic...

    News Is your Intel Core i9-13900K crashing in games? Your motherboard BIOS settings may be to blame — other high-end Intel CPUs also affected

    After owning a newly assembled PC for around 13 months, I went through two months of literal virtual hell trying to diagnose why 75% of my programs were crashing / automatically re-opening themselves progressively more frequently every day (down to a few minutes per crash). Game crashes, Steam...

    Question How Would I Properly Install a Secondary Used M.2?

    So I have a new system with a new M.2 (Samsung 980 Pro - 2TB), just got Windows 10 installed onto it and all setup and working and such. I've migrated a lot of data over from my previous M.2 (Samsung 970 Evo Plus - 2TB).. but I've done so using an enclosure/adapter device that I plug the M.2...
