So, I finally fixed the problem after many attempts. What I found out is this: I used to have Surfshark VPN installed. A few months ago I uninstalled it completely (supposedly) and started using Express VPN since I got it for free from work. Apparently the TAP for Surfshark while removed from...

I have disabled all network adapters except from the Ethernet which is the one I am using, restarted the PC and done a network reset from windows, but the issue still persists. I might be mistaken, but I believe that it now occurs much less often than it did before, so I will try disabling the...

Supposedly the way it works is they test combination of dimms during manufacturing and the ones that work best together are sold as "kits". Doesn't mean that the rest don't work together, it just means the manufacturer doesn't guarantee it the way I understand it

The response was from G.Skill support, they said that for the particular kit I am looking into I will most likely have no problem, but I might need to run them in lower frequency than 3200 depending on die lottery. In general they don't recommend combining different kits because there is always...

G.Skill says that I can add a second set of this RAM kit without any problem from what I read. I was thinking 5800x over 5600x for futureproofing somewhat against future games using more multi-core processes, but that might still be further in the future than my next CPU upgrade I don't have a...

I see your point On that one pc I have the embedded ethernet adapter and the USB wireless network adapter enabled. I use the wireless adapter mainly for printing stuff on a printer which is connected to a different network, and mainly use the ethernet adapter. I have used this configuration for...

I suppose I am wrongly including the nice-to-have factor in this part of the decision. Boils down to me thinking I am too bored to update all the BIOS versions I have not upgraded to so far, but not too bored to take the entire pc apart and rebuild-respec it Sounds dumb even as I am writing it...

Good evening! I have been having this issue for some time now, but lately it has gotten somewhat worse. Sometimes my internet will randomly disconnect for a few seconds before reconnecting (I am using ethernet cable and my router is a Huawei HG8546M and a Netgear GS108 switch) It happens...

Hello! I think the time has come to upgrade my pc because it has started having trouble coping with gaming and all that My current setup is this: CPU: Ryzen 5 2600 MoBo: Asus x470 F-Gaming RAM: G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16GB DDR4 3200MHz (F4-3200C14D-16GTZRX) GPU: ASUS ROG STRIX 1080Ti OC Storage...

So from what I can see no conductor is exposed and no cable seriously pinched. I can't really see the PSU cables well because they are all covered in protective sleeves which I would have to cut in order to check. What I noticed though was that the noise insulation layer on the backplate has an...

OK, so I don't have a multi-meter and don't think I know anyone that does. What I found was that if I remove the backplate cover of the pc case appears to have solved the problem. It could have been a cable management issue I guess? I have a BeQuiet Dark Base Pro 900 rev.2 case, and all the...

Good Evening! I have had the pc with the specs below for a couple of years now and never had a problem: CPU: Ryzen 2600 MOBO: Asus ROG F-Gaming x470 COOLER: CORSAIR H100i RGB Platinum RAM: G. Skill RGB TridentZ 32GB 3200MHz c14 GPU: GeForce Gigabyte 1080 Ti PSU: Seasonic Focus PX 650W...

Unfortunately it was indeed a hacked account :( On the plus side I got a refund plus an extra 20$ because the seller was late to report the compromised account. Came out ahead by 20$ but still feel like I lost... I decided to wait for the 3xxx series and see what price range they end up in.

I was thinking some seller got hacked at first but since the trade was covered by ebay insurance I thought "screw it, give it a try", but I haven't gotten a message so far and it has been almost 3 days. Fingers crossed!
