    Question Issue with driver(?) on custom build: crashes & BSOD

    Thank you so much for your fast reply! I've tried anything that seems to have any issue with it. I got an error message for my graphics card, so I've been mostly focusing on that, but also drivers relating to sound, network adapters, disk drives etc. I haven't kept an exact log but I must have...

    'No Wifi Networks Available'

    I’m having trouble connecting to wifi on my new desktop. It constantly says that there are ‘no wifi networks available’. I know that there is a wifi signal available where I am, several in fact, because on my laptop (positioned right next to my desk) I pick up between seven and twelve signals...
