This page has a similar build and the initial problem is close to what you describe. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/4020619/computer-crashing-due-to-dpc-watchdog-violation-co?forum=windows-all&referrer=answers There are some references within the answers provided on the...

Look beyond the first part, the page was posted to show that the devices are on the whole relatively inexpensive. That you can buy from a reputable source, not just Ali Express.

My purpose is getting around a problem caused by a customer. They got bought out and blocked internet access for the kit I service. Those little usb dongles work well for the required downloads and updates. For the purpose I use them they are excellent, cheap, cheerful and quick enough. For...

Not saying they are good but they work at a pinch. There are more options on the page at different prices. The point of the page was to show that even in a retail chain they aren’t that expensive, there is little reason to go to Ali express.

https://www.currys.co.uk/computing/networking/wireless-adapters The link is for a general electronics shop in the UK, think washing machines to televisions. They have cheap USB WiFi adapters for as little as £9 to more expensive internal parts. If you are happy with TP Link the tiny USB part...

Rumours and hype lead to overinflated expectations and disappointment… Best to wait till the release and be happily surprised. If you are looking for a CPU today you pay your money and make your choice. The site has good reviews as do many others.

What do you want to use it for, what games/programmes?

Unless you are chasing high frame rates the 9950x would be a better choice for your build. The x3d parts will fill up a Nvidia xx80 or a xx90 card. The 5060 will not benefit from the x3d cache. Memory : 4 sticks puts a lot of load on the memory controller. You could look at 2x48GB 6000...

You get/got good quality with quality tapes. I I used to use metal and chrome. With Dolby there was a very very low level of hiss on my (now dead) technics hifi. The difference between ferric tapes and chrome was huge. Look up “techmoan” on YouTube his channel does a good tape type comparison.

Thing with ads, they don’t have to grab your attention. You see them often enough and they embed themselves in your psyche. You don’t notice it. It would be interesting to use a pair of these and be made aware of the amount of advertising that is worming its way into our brains. The red...

First time I had a processor without pins, 4790k I got the shop to install it.. safe not sorry. I’d suggest asking the bricks and mortar vendor to update the bios if you are buying across ‘generations’ e.g. 9000 series AMD with 600 series motherboards.. if they want a sale they will...

At the worst it will run at JEDEC standard timings. Try it. Once you have seen it running, reboot and enter bios. Turn on XMP and see if it will post and boot windows. Depending on timing subtleties it may be less stable though that’s doubtful. If you have just bought the memory from a...

First steps, download the latest bios for your motherboard. Copy it to a thumb drive. I think the instructions say it must be called MSI.rom (or something very similar. Check the motherboard documentation, on line if needed and confirm. This is to be used for a processorless bios update...

20 millibits megabits is really low bandwidth…. @editor mb milli bits, Mb megabits, MB mega bytes. Your edit was correcting me pointing out the error in multiple posts. 20mb/s really is a low bandwidth The supplied router provided by SKY in the UK is gigabit wired, with CAT 6 cables that...

Perhaps devs could target AMD levels of performance using DX12 and not using the Nvidia special sauce. Make Nvidia irrelevant?
