i have been experiencing regular internet disturbance around the time I upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 . what could be causing this? what can I do to fix this? I've only been able to find fixes focusing on wifi but I'm using Ethernet. I know it's not a wifi issue. the wifi works on my...

it's US$88 for the overclocked GPU + US$15 shipping. I bought used GPU before (no idea if used for mining) that lasted 8years and that seems like a good run. my budget says I need to buy one used. & seeing as to how there's always a chance that sellers could neglect to mention their GPU was...

anyone has experience buying used graphics processor on ebay? a seller listed an overclocked 8GB MSI Radeon RX 580 Armor that was used for crypto mining. he claims it's in excellent condition. what are the chances of that? but then again it's not like the rest of used GPU on ebay that didn't...

Could Windows OS incompatibility cause GPU driver to stop working? My display driver would crash whenever I play Lost Ark. All the specs requirement are met except the OS. The game requires Windows 10 minimum, I have 8.1 . I have AMD driver version 17.7.1 but some other games warned that I...

Here's one example: https://www.ebay.com/itm/143974723624?hash=item21858ff028%3Ag%3AKdkAAOSwRhVgSd73&LH_RPA=1&LH_BIN=1&LH_ItemCondition=3 There are others in the same price range and volume range that do not have problem with the NTFS like this one...

What's the downside of using exFAT external HDD to store video games? Can exFAT even store video game files? I found cheap HDDs on ebay but they're in exFAT format. the prices look too good to be true, but as long as they can store video game files, I'm fine with that.

Could someone explain, how my SSD where I store my OS within a span of a couple of days, went from 11GB of free storage to only 1GB, even though I've only been storing files in my secondary hard drive (HDD) & external hard drives? It'd mind-boggling if cookies or caches from browsers are...

Windows 8 groups files together that are very different in duration or size. For example, if I were to group video files by duration, 5min videos will be grouped together with 30min videos. If I were to group files by sizes, 200MB files will be grouped together with 2GB files. Is there a way...

Does clearing cookie or cache remove items in Chrome's Reading List? (I don't want to assume too much that it stores memory like Bookmark does)

yesterday i let my computer auto hibernate. when i tried booting up my computer this morning, the monitor shows no signal. and the mouse's laser did not light up. i also noticed that the restart button on the case does not do anything anymore. the fans and LEDs in the desktop case seem to work...

SOLUTION: apply thermal paste
