    Question Wifi keeps booting off certain devices, while others stay connected

    Howdy all, I'm pretty tech savvy until it comes to networking. Long story, we live in the middle of nowhere and recently upgraded our wifi, which required our ISP to switch out the dish attached to a tree out front. A cable runs indoors that plugs into some kind of box, and then a Cat6 cable...

    [SOLVED] What should I upgrade first?

    Alrighty, the order is placed. Much appreciation to all of you, and I'm looking forward to delivery day! I went with kwikgta's build but used richiestang_78's resources for the order, many thanks for taking the time. And SamirD, I sure hope so! I guess I didn't realize how outdated the 8350...

    [SOLVED] What should I upgrade first?

    Howdy, I looked around for a bit and couldn't find a thread quite like this one, so I apologize if this has been addressed elsewhere. My current setup is an AMD FX-8350 (120mm cooler) with a GTX 970 Windforce, and admittedly I haven't kept up with components over the last couple of years. My...

    Where could I find factory spec replacement glass for an S7 Edge?

    TheCPH here, I managed to drop my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge in a parking lot today, resulting in two sizable impact zones and spiderwebbing all across the rear side of the phone. The front was, thankfully, unaffected. When I search for replacement glass online I only see third party manufacturers...

    Strange display issues after laptop is woken from sleep mode

    I reinstalled the Intel 530 Graphics driver and that seems to have done it. It hasn't happened yet. Thanks to those who took the time to read.

    Strange display issues after laptop is woken from sleep mode

    Hey everyone, I recently purchased an ASUS ROG GL552 from Best Buy and for the first and second time just today I've encountered an issue where if the laptop is left idle and enters sleep mode, the display gets extremely wacky. It almost appears that only the dominant color that the RGB pixels...

    Far Cry 4 Won't Launch

    Hey everyone, I'm experiencing an issue with Far Cry 4 that I believe is due to installation location. I bought the game through Steam, which links into Uplay, but when I click play on Steam (which thinks it's installed) and it takes me to Uplay, Uplay gives me the download option instead of...

    AMD FX-8350 Overheating?

    Got my 8350 a few days ago, and its surpassing 60 degrees celsius. When I Alt+Tab from Battlefield 3 to AMD Overdrive, however, it goes from 60 celsius to about 38 celsius in a few seconds....so is it possibly that the temps are being incorrectly read? All answers appreciated. Side note: My...

    Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 problems?

    Poor ventilation may not be the ONLY factor, but since I have good airflow and never had any heat issues it would make sense unless some boards are faulty. If you're worried about case ventilation then the Hyper 212 evo would be a great solution since it blows air to the BACK of the case towards...

    Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 problems?

    I personally have this Mobo and haven't experienced ANY heat issues with my Phenom II x4 965 BE, which is 140 watts. Even when clocked at 3.8 GHz I haven't had heat issues. Now, I DO have 6 120mm case fans, so that could very well be why, but even so this is more wattage than the 8350 (which I...

    Will my Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 work with an FX-8350 out of the box?

    Title says it all really. Motherboard is a revision 3.0 990FXA-UD3, and I ordered my 8350 (which hasn't come in yet) for an upgrade from my current Phenom II x4 965 Black Edition. I just want to know if I need to update my BIOS. Gigabyte's website says the 8350 has been supported since BIOS...
