Hello, When I got home from work today, my connection icon had the yellow exclamation point. I ran the troubleshooter and got the error in the title. I've tried restarting the computer, modem, and router; also connect the computer directly to the modem and neither of those worked. I also did...

Hello all, My modem is a Motorola Surfboard SB6121. Router is a Netgear WNDR3700v3 When my desktop is wired to my router, the internet is almost non-existent. When I wire it directly to the modem, everything is fine. It makes sense then that the router is the culprit. However, I am able...

Purchased a DVI-D to HDMI cable and hooked it up to my second monitor. Worked like a charm. edit: can't seem to mark this as solved, but it is.

I learned that apparently there are two different types of DVI connectors; DVI-I and DVI-D. Both of my adapters are DVI-I, so I think that's why the second port wasn't detecting a monitor regardless of which wsa connected. Going to head out and buy either an adapter or DVI to HDMI cable. Will...

I've done that. When I turn on the second monitor, it says it's scanning for a signal, doesn't find one, and then goes to sleep. I've tried detecting the monitor through the change display settings menu and it doesn't detect the second monitor. Would the fact that I'm using two VGA cables...

Okay, the only monitor currently connected is the one that's connected to the working DVI port of the video card. What do I do with the other one?

Hello all, I just build a new computer with an ASRock H97 Pro4 motherboard and XFX Radeon R9 280x video card. I have two monitors that have both DVI and VGA connections; however, I only own VGA cables with DVI adapters. I can't seem to get a dual monitor set up working. I've gone into the...

Hello all, I recently started playing computer games again. I'd been running them off my HTPC because I wasn't sure if it was something I was going to keep up with. I've decided that I'm going to keep up with it and need to build a desktop PC (nothing extravagent, just a $600 or so gaming...

Greetings all, I have a small home server set up on my network with Ubuntu Server 14.04. Recently I acquired a Netgear WNDR3700v3. It was given to me by a friend, but I reset to factory defaults before connecting it. It is connected with an ethernet cable, not wireless. I've been having a...

My machine currently: MSI A78M-E35 motherboard AMD A6-5400K APU 3.6 Ghz processor. There is no video or sound card. I have three hard drives an old 500 gb that I'm using as the bood drive, and two 2 TB for storage. Previously, I had a version of Debian installed on the 500GB drive and that...

Thanks for the help! I have a couple of questions, though. Yeah, I was going to have either 4TB useable or RAID 1 (2 Terabytes seems plenty; I have a 2 terabyte drive in my HTPC and it's still half empty). However, a question: will I be able to switch RAID modes down the road if I start...

Hello all, Looking to upgrade/build a linux home server. I used my old desktop to see if I could do it, and now that it's running, I'd like to make it better/make a better one. I'd like it to have the functionality of what's described in this guide. Mostly it would be used for media storage...
