    Computer suddenly became laggy with certain simple tasks

    Good news! I resolved the issue. Still don't know exactly what was causing the problem. But I was able to fix it by installing the Windows 10 Creators update. Technically it wasn't ready for my computer yet, but I went ahead and installed it out of desperation. The problem is gone, and...

In the past week or so, my high end computer has become "laggy" with certain simple tasks. Here are some examples: -Moving the blue 'highlight box' on the desktop or any folder is very...

    Can an Ethernet cable suddenly stop working?

    Background info: I have my old gaming computer set up in my closet that hosts a small 2 person modded Minecraft server. Last night I was on the server with a friend and all of the sudden the server "crashed" it said "Server Closed." I assumed I could just restart the server and everything would...

    150 - 200 Dollar motherboard for new build (with NVMe support)

    The hard part is finding one with NVMEe support. It is hard to know if the motherboard supports it or not. I did find one motherboard, but it was over 300 dollars, and that is out of my budget. I have found this board: http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5838#ov Has anyone...

    Which "audiophile" headphones would be best for gaming?

    Question: I can't seem to find the uni-directional modmic with mute on amazon. They only have the omni-directional mic, do you know if it is available there or should I buy it someplace else.

    Which "audiophile" headphones would be best for gaming?

    Yeah at this point I'm thinking the modmic would probably be the best way to go. True the audio quality is much better with a full mic like the atr2500, but I dont really have room or the setup to make it work well. I have my noisy PC to the left, and 2 monitors to the right so there isnt really...

    Which "audiophile" headphones would be best for gaming?

    Ohh I am glad you pointed this out, I could have made a big ol' woopsie... As for my onboard audio I have an ASRock z77 extreme 4 motherboard which has the ALC898 audio chipset which is apparently one of the best as far as onboard audio goes. I'll definitely consider the card because for the...

    Which "audiophile" headphones would be best for gaming?

    Alrighty thanks for all this. I will probably end up going with the 518s and modmic (possibly BoomPro just for price sake...) as it seems to be the best bang for the buck for what I need. Either way it will be an upgrade from my px21 headset (especially considering they broke). And heck if...
