    Question Did MS just stealth update adwarer on my PC just now?

    So all of a sudden, my modem rebooted itself out of nowhere. I wasn't even using my PC, but using a tablet sharing my router's wifi. After my modem came back online, I see this picture of a Leopard in my search engine on Windows Taskbar. Hovering over it brings up a ad & MS news crap. I did not...

    [SOLVED] Bought a mobo with wireless in it, but have no clue how to set it up? Am I transmitting my wireless without a password?

    Oh so it's not a internal router. The page for the mobo said: In fact, its integrated Wireless-AC 9260 Wi-Fi adapter pushes wireless data up to 2X faster . I thought that meant it had a built in router inside it.

    Question Will my old motherboard have any trouble running a newer Ryzen 5 CPU?

    I'm planning on building a gaming PC later in the year. I was hoping for the prices of the i9 & 2080 Ti to go down in prices or the new i10 or Ryzen to come out this year to see if they drive the prices of the older CPUs down. Right now I just need a home PC to browse & my CPU is barely able to...

    Question Will my old motherboard have any trouble running a newer Ryzen 5 CPU?

    :( hmm looks like my options aren't too great for a current CPU. Anything on that list stand out from the rest? Looks like the most powerful CPUs are either the AMD FX-Series with the FX-4350, 4.2 GHz, HT 5200 MHz, L2 4x1 MB, L3 8 MB, TDP 125 Watt or FX-4170, 4.2 GHz, HT 5200 MHz, L2 4x1 MB...
