I ordered an ethernet switch a few days ago but it still hasn't come in. However, I was experimenting with some options in the router, and I changed an option under Router MAC Address from "Use default address" to "Use computer MAC address" and I have not experienced a single random disconnect...

I need to buy a gigabit ethernet switch first so I will update this thread again when I do so. The "internet access" icon at the bottom right shows that yellow triangle with an exclamation mark whenever I experience these disconnections, if that helps. I also forgot to mention I'm on Windows 7.

Suddenly over the last 5 days, I've been getting randomly disconnected from the internet with seemingly no reason. I've always been on an ethernet cable connection, and the router I'm using is a Netgear Nighthawk R7000. The only change I can think of that might have prompted this is me changing...

I accidentally bent 3 or 4 pins in my cpu socket, which were located near the middle next to the empty space, of my gigabyte z170x ud5 motherboard, and I tried fixing them by pushing on them a little with a folded out paper clip. They weren't perfect but they were better aligned than before when...

Oops, the whole link to the TV didn't post: http://www.samsung.com/us/video/tvs/UN32EH4003FXZA-specs

Specs here: http://imgur.com/a/hGoRT I'm using my TV as a monitor, which is here: http://www.samsung.com/us/video/tvs/UN32EH4003FXZA-spec... I have the TV connected to my PC via HDMI, and all across the screen are these little flickering pixels. They are not dead pixels, because these ones...
