I am having an issue where my virtual machines in VMware Workstation continue to lock up. I forget the error messages I've had before, but I've had several machines running and they all went to a BSOD and said no operating system was found. My actual computer had no problems with...

I asked a question elsewhere regarding my Corsair H100i cooler and which header to plug it into. Now they got me thinking about cooling changes. So here is my case with the direction of air. I'm using the stock rear fan, stock front fan, and stock side fan. My Corsair H100i is mounted on...

Hey! I ran Crystal Disk Info. So do I just open it up and that's it? http://imgur.com/a/EAslI

I have an Acer V3-551-8469 I decided to pull it out of my book bag and install Windows 10 so that I can use it alongside my desktop PC I've built. This Acer has (2) 4GB of RAM = totals 8GB. Samsung Evo 850 250GB SSD. When I install Windows 10, it works up to the point after it sets up my...

I have a 980Ti. My three monitors have DVI, D-sub, and HDMI. All are the same. 1080p. On my 980Ti, I have (3) DisplayPort, (1) HDMI, and (1) DVI. I have 3 VGA cables and 3 DVI. I'm wondering how I should plug these monitors in. What would give me the best performance? And I believe I...

I have a cable modem going into a router with Tomato. The router network is my home LAN. From the router, I have an Ethernet cable to a gigabit switch. From that switch, I have a single Ethernet Gigabit cable going down into the basement to my rack. It goes into a Netgear 24 port Gigabit...

VLANs! That is the 'idea' I was forgetting. I knew there was a way but I couldn't put my finger on it. So my ISP router sucks with any other third party firmware, because the CPU quickly jumps to 100% and performance seems to be much slower. I can actually VLAN from VMware, or vSphere (vSPhere...

I am pretty good with networking, have a few servers, few routers, few gigabit switches (3 8 port and 1 24 port) and a lot of Virtual Machines. So I have a background, but one thing I don't understand clearly is subnetting and putting a VM on it's own 'network'. I have my server2 on Windows...

So I'm trying to take use of this DSL modem/router I have laying around. The wireless is amazing and I haven't found another wireless router that has just as good wireless speed and quality. Anyhow, we have cable now. The cable company gave me the E1200 and it was a complete bottleneck. I...

Haha - eh I don't think so. I don't think the G.Skill sticker really has anything to do with it. :/ I think the BIOS type switched to legacy is the problem. I installed Windows 7 and because this laptop isn't shipped W7, it is hard to gather all the drivers from the website. With Windows 8...

According to Crucial - and Acer. But everyone else got 16 GB in it and the chipset supports it. Plus, I got the 8 GB and 4 GB in so those are not 'only 4 GB sticks' :P

I got a V3-551-8469 laptop and a few reviews I had seen on different sites says that they put 16GB of RAM into it. Definitely, it works... However, when I put two of the same RAM modules in, it crashes. It sometimes would go to the Windows 7 flag, but then freeze... It would power on, and...
