Is anybody with Windows 1903 or 1909 experiencing loud crackle pops in their Windows sounds? When I go to control panel/sound/sounds tab and play back the Windows scheme .wav files I get loud pops on each file. It's most noticeable when repeatedly clicking the test button. I am trying to...

Two pins on my new Asus Maximus XI Hero's USB 3.0 connector were either bent out of the box or the cases USB 3.0 plug was faulty and bent them. Upon trying to straighten them one simply broke off. Diagrams indicate the damaged pin is pin 10, the ID pin but upon looking in the XI Hero manual the...

I accidentally spilled a few ml's of cooling liquid onto my motherboard during maintenance, it was unpowered. I attempted to dry it as much as possible and repowered the system fairly shortly after the spill. On the power up the Display Port connection keep cutting out quite soon after reaching...

Forgot to mention there are bucket loads of rt640x64 warnings in Event Viewer (Realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller is disconnected from network.) But that's not surprising is it?

I have had both enabled yes. I thought that I tested with the Wireless adapter disabled but I may not have so will test again and post result. C:\WINDOWS\system32>ipconfig /all Windows IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : DESKTOP-G5JQDHL Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . ...

Is there anything that could be done in the Dell's network card configuration that could solve the issue or is it purely a hardware thing? I've definitely never heard of a network adapter needing to warm up... The Dell's WiFi connection seems fine and while the Ethernet is rapidly...

Well I did plug the Ethernet cable via UPS into an Asus laptop and it connected just fine. So it has to be an issue with the Dell G3 but what? What is the difference with the Ethernet cable through the UPS? It's just a surge protector...

I've unfortunately had a liquid spill in my custom build desktop while the machine was powered on. The machine was also connected to my CyberPower UPS. While the desktop is being replaced I am using my notebook and I have it plugged into the existing UPS. The issue I am facing is the Ethernet...

Download a program called WinDirStat. That will show everything that is using space accurately.

I just brought a Samsung 869 EVO to run some games off. The particularly game I'm playing only reaches a peak of around 250 MB/s read speed while the drive is capable of 570 MB/s. Wouldn't my game be loading faster if it was utilizing the maximum read speed of the SSD?

My 8700K is currently running stock (no OC) for testing purposes. I noticed in the software HWiNFO the CPU Current reading under load is 50A. That is almost the bulk of the 63A on my 750W Seasonic PSU's 12V rail. I also have a 1080 Ti FTW3 that I overclock. Is that reading correct or do I need a...

Recently I have removed all overclocking from my GPU and CPU and reset the BIOS to defaults. Everything is bone stock yet these hard freezes persist. In FFXV (PC) there is a clear pattern of the constant GPU usage drops particularly during demanding scenes such as fighting multiple monsters...

First of all I did tack on to some similar threads here but figured it was probably best to create my own. This has been an ongoing issue for me in some of the games I play. It spans back many drivers to when I was playing Watch Dogs 2 in 2017 and early 2018. What is happening is intermittently...
