So, I guess I am left with no direction to go to figure it out? I am not highly PC competent. I have Killer intelligence Center on the PC, although frankly I don't know what it does or if I need it. Do you think it would make any difference if I upgraded to Windows 11? I suppose I can leave...

I have a Netgear 1900 c7000v2 modem/router (installed in April 2019) eternetted to my PC (March 2019). I normally get about 280mbps download and 10mbps upload. Recently, I am getting 0.6 mbps on the upload. I have reset the modem, changed the port and cable, checked for updates, etc. I...

I appreciate the advice, but it turned out, just finally hitting the power button for a second got a signal to the screen and all is working fine now.

This desktop has worked fine since 2019. About 8/9 August Dell Optimizer told me there were 4 updates to be made. One was for bios and one was for UHD graphics. I cant remember the rest. I ran the updates and had to restart the computer. Ever since the restart, the monitor gets no signal...

I found this solution on the Dell forum website and it worked for me. Someone else had the same problem at the same time, apparently due to a bios update around 36/37 March 2020. I shutdown the XPS 8930, unplugged the power cord for a few minutes, then powered it back on. I then went to...

Cin19, Thanks. I have a dongle for the fitbit if I can't get the actual Bluetooth fixed.

Cin19, Thanks. I have a dongle for the fitbit if I can't get the actual Bluetooth fixed.

Bluetooth stopped working yesterday on my desktop PC. It had been working fine prior to that except for one incident in the past. I have a Dell 8930. The warranty expired 2 weeks ago. Basically, the PC does not recognize the Bluetooth device. I have run troubleshooter on Bluetooth and get...

Wasn't sure where to post this, but I have a Netgear c7000 modem/router. Cox, Norther Virginia is the provider/ISP. Normally, the internet light is on and the upstream and downstream lights are steady green. the last couple of days, there seemed to be some signal problems from the Internet...

This is related to my moving my main user/cjohn folders from my default C drive and making my E drive the default for those folders. I moved most of my user files to the Hard drive (E) from the SSD (C), but one, Music, moved but also stayed on the C drive. Do I need to delete it from the c...

I have two external hard drives that I use for back up. If I get a new desktop, can I connect those to the new PC without any problems developing? Can I just plug them in, copy the files to the new PC hard drive, and then will the externals continue to back up new files created on the new PC...

Thanks much. I have everything backed up on two external drives, so that should not be a problem. I have been having problems with my mouse and keyboard freezing up for over a year now. Happens every 5-14 days and I have to hard power down, then power back up and it works fine. Recently, I...

I have a 6-year old 8500 Dell XPS. I am getting the 0142 error from the hard drive, although the desktop PC started working again and has been fine for a few days now. Given this error, and the age of the PC, I want to buy a new desktop. Once I do that, my question is, can I just copy files...

Have used Windows 10 for awhile now with no problems. Yesterday, on 18 Sep I updated I Tunes. I don't know if that is linked to the problems that followed since it had been more than 24 hours since I used the PC. I tried to play Day of Defeat and it worked for awhile, but then froze up...
