This is true, remove the password on all of the computers you are putting on the new Homegroup, pick a host, then start from the beginning. Installing static IPs will solve your disappearing connection problem. After power is removed from a computer, DHCP (auto connect) has to reestablish all of...

This will refresh the list of computers in windows file explorer, under the "Homegroup" and "Network" Icons. Easy way: While the computer is on, unplug the Ethernet connection from the back of your computer, wait 10 seconds, then plug it, back it. The other way: If you can not get to the...

The processor is made up of billions of transistors, these form gates counters, an execution engine, cache, and other parts. The architecture is the way these parts are configured to work with each other. The more expensive processors , like the I7, have a more highly refined architecture. Is a...

There is no illusion. Intel said it best; ”Hyper-Threading Technology is a form of simultaneous multithreading technology(SMT) introduced by Intel. Architecturally, a processor with Hyper-Threading Technology consists of two logical processors, each of which has its own processor architectural...

Hyper-threading has a great deal in common with a multi core processor; its usefulness depends on the operating system and the program that will use them. Most programs are simple and are only written to use one core. But some programs and games are very complex and demanding, and are written to...

1. What is the difference between a Core and a thread? In all CPUs, each core has its own execution engine. The execution engine controls the L"x" cache, and thread traffic (including returns and request). A thread is an execution sequence (programing code). 2. A core and a thread are...

I think hyper-threading is a cool feature to have. In all CPUs, each core has its own execution engine. The execution engine controls the L"x" cache, and thread traffic (including returns and request). In a hyper-threaded core, the execution engine shares resources, and controls thread traffic...

How to solve a "power cycling on and off" problem. When confronting a "power cycling on and off" problem, If you know how that system works, it makes it easier to trouble-shoot. Never do work inside the computer if there is power connected to the power supply. The computer is alive unless you...
