    [SOLVED] Games freezing

    Well as far as what's been said. This is a new PC build. It's very possible the hardware itself isn't seated properly? And the reality is, faulty hardware is possible. No matter what - your PC runs fine until you begin playing games. Then abruptly, the game freezes but not your computer. Use...

    [SOLVED] Games freezing

    Try your best to isolate the issue. Sounds like either CPU or GPU issue. Definitely run Task Manager while you play and monitor the usage. I'm leaning more towards a GPU issue, try to run tests / benchmarks. Narrow what's causing it

    [SOLVED] Games freezing

    I will say there's not enough info provided. Does you entire computer freeze? Or just the game? Have you tried running benchmarks, does it freeze then? I'd recommend looking at Event Viewer for any red flags you may notice If possible, run Task Manager while you're playing. Pay attention to the...

    Question Win 10 - Powerbeats Pro cannot stay connected.

    No worries, friend Sounds like Windows recognizes the Bluetooth connection, able to connect to them. It sounds like Windows is having trouble communicating audio to the device. I wish I had better answers for you. But I feel as if the solution is in plain sight. I would recommend Googling this...

    [SOLVED] Suddenly high data usage

    And yes, I want to add. If you compare aspects ratios (via Google) you'll see the 4K ratio is a considerable amount larger; 4K eats plenty of data. But it's 2022, you shouldn't have to worry about this. My solution: find a better ISP

    [SOLVED] Suddenly high data usage

    Well, may I recommend my ISP: T-Mobile 5G Home Internet; believe it. It's something an average person will laugh off - having 5G internet be your primary internet...must be a JOKE! However, since I've started using 5G internet I haven't had a single issue with it: Unlimited data / No...

    Question Win 10 - Powerbeats Pro cannot stay connected.

    I'll start by saying, I'm no expert in Windows 10 BUT: It sounds like a software conflict issue; as in something is preventing Windows from identifying that Bluetooth connection as audio playback; here's a clue: "..even when it says they're paired and connected it doesn't show in the playback...

    Question Brand New Gaming PC Crashing

    Bummer! It hurts to read all that. You just bought this, last thing you want is issues. From what I can determine this will be narrowed to either a hardware or cabling issue. I am leaning more towards a hardware issue. It's possible there is simply a lose connection between motherboard and GPU...

    [SOLVED] 2 routers share name and signal

    Here's my opinion: Why bother? It seems you are jumping through hoops to accomplish a "mesh network" - Review 'repeaters' online If your goal is to have multiple "APs" thus increased signal through out the home, simply look-up 'Repeaters". It doesn't make sense to have two separate devices...

    Question How do I set up multiple networks from 1 incoming line?

    I continued reading your post: The ISP provides the internet. You can have separate networks, that don't see each other without having to physically separate them. Point is: everything feeds into the "network room". The switch ultimately decides what data gets sent where. Your best bet friend...

    Question How do I set up multiple networks from 1 incoming line?

    Well, I won't be so harsh friend Internet comes from a device or a wall. From there, it feed into the modem/router. From there it feeds into the switch. The switch is what determines what gets sent where. I'm not a networking Guru but I know this. Basically, you have multiple rooms with...

    [SOLVED] Suddenly high data usage

    And side note; I highly doubt ads or Google is to blame for doubling your data usage. Bandwidth taxes networks on both ends. My opinion is a rogue device found it's way on your network or a known-device hatched a rogue troublemaker. Run anti-virus scans / block MAC addresses via your router...
