    Intel Ethernet Connection i218-v disables itself in device manager

    This is embarrassing, my solution was that I had a program called InternetOff starting on boot, whenever this program runs: the name is self-explanatory. All I did was uninstall the program and it's back to working again!

    Intel Ethernet Connection i218-v disables itself in device manager

    For some reason, my computer network adapter disables itself in device manager. I can't connect to the internet for more than a minute before the device just disables. Apparently it's a "code 22". I already tried downloading the latest drivers and uninstalling the device and rebooting. I'm...

    Thank you guys for the advice! I decided to cancel the item, get the money back, and purchase a GTX 1080ti in a couple weeks when I can gather the remaining money! :)

    GTX 1080 $550 and GTX 1080ti $750

    I just bought (literally today) a GTX 1080 for $550 and can't help but think I could've bought a 1080ti had I saved a bit more money. Is the 30% performance worth the $200?

    Installing Linux on an old computer?

    My dad has an old Lenovo J Series 3000 computer lying around and I want to make some use of it instead of just having it there. I got rid of the old hard drive and just bought a new 80GB HDD to install Linux on it. My question is: will the computer work if I were to just add the HDD and Linux...

    How do I make a yes or no question with different outcomes depending on input?

    Adding "Or" Line worked! Thanks but I'm still confused with the last thing you said about comparing it with "Yes"

    How do I make a yes or no question with different outcomes depending on input?

    I have Programming in Basic in High School and was tasked with a project in which I was to make a program that says hello to the teacher as well as give a paragraph describing why programming is valuable in today's time. My initial idea was to make a program that greets and asks the teacher a...

    What cpu to get?

    May I recommend the i7 6800k or the 6850k, slightly same as the 6700k in performance + 2 more cores for a total of 6. Also be aware that since the 6800k has more cores, single core performance won't be as good as the 6700k but those extra cores might compensate ;)

    Will my CPU bottleneck gtx 1070?

    Your CPU will NOT bottleneck the GTX 1070. EDIT: Did some research on your CPU and yeah, your good to go. Be aware that it also depends on the games your playing, if a game heavily depends on the CPU then it will bottleneck. How much bottleneck? I can't really say but I'm positive it will...

    i7 4790k + Corsair H80i Avg Temps?

    Hello, as of two weeks ago, I noticed an increase in my CPU and GPU (GTX 970) Temps. I don't if it's because of season changes but during December-January I've been receiving 34 degrees Celsius on my CPU and 40 degrees on my GPU while idle. Now at idle CPU goes up to 42 degrees and GPU goes to...
