I have the latest BIOS. I have the latest Killer drivers from Killer's website. The drivers Gigabyte was providing were unsigned... I tried port scan disabling before, I have to disable advance threat detection to make it go away. If I uninstall it completely, it seems to go away. I just...

I have a Gigabyte Aero 15 with BitDefender Total Security. I have recently come to notice that I get audio popping sounds when browsing the web and listening to music at the same time. I get it with Firefox, Chrome, and Edge, so it isn't from the browser. Interestingly, it only occurs when I am...

Sometime this year or maybe even early next year, I will need to get a new laptop. Right now I have a desktop that I use for gaming and most other things, and I have a laptop that I use basically just when I need to use a laptop (and rarely otherwise). I don't like this redundancy since when I...
