    PSU Modular incompatabilities across common manufaturers?

    Do any of the larger PSU manufacturers use the same pin configurations on the PSU side of their modular cables? And if not.... why? I have several different computers I have built and are still in use within my household. And over time things get lost. When it comes time to upgrade graphics...

    Looking for motherboard that fits case and can host Intel Core i5-8400 and GeForce GTX 1060

    I don't consider myself an expert, but I went through something similar the other day. Upgraded my wife's computer from amd to intel. A couple of things to remember are 1. the type of memory for the new cpu and board might not be the same 2. you will probably have issues trying to use the same...

    Problem with slow internet connection on desktop PC

    I have a similar problem, but no solution for you. I had a Netgear R6700 for almost a year and then we started having over 90% loss of speed through the router. If we unplugged everything and started over, things were fine for a few minutes at best. At the modem everything was fine. I replaced...

    Setting up Netgear Nighthawk router

    I'm certainly no expert, but of the two nighthawks I've owned, neither had a coax connection. The coax usually only goes to a modem so I'm assuming you picked up a modem/router combo and ..well.... I suppose beyond that you'll have to contact your ISP to see what kind of connection you should be...

    power LED flashes red

    so... I've tried a few things like unplugging any accessories and checking physical connectors. It seems to be a HardDrive Activity light, although I have never noticed it do this before. :P If anyone can verify this ,though, I'd appreciate it.

    power LED flashes red

    Seriously, at first I thought it was an actual spark that was showing at the power button light. It's certainly not "blinking" in any sort of normal pattern. Just sort of flickering on briefly at random times. (but at least once every couple of seconds) All the info I have seen has to do with a...

    trying to upgrade my wife's graphics

    I bought a new pc from costco for my wife the other day. I replaced the 300w power supply with a 500w one. Then I tried to add an old GTX 650ti. With the video card installed, nothing would show up on any monitor regardless of which video outputs I tried. The computer is an Acer Aspire...
