I read that the max length for a usb cable for low power devices like a mouse/keyboard is 9ft 10 inches? Would this not work for a mouse/keyboard?

I upgraded to windows 10 on my desktop pc on july 29th and haven't had any problems since. I know that upgrade/updates are forced to happen so when random issues occurred today I feel that maybe there was an update sent out? My ethernet no longer works, only to connect outside my LAN, but I can...

Receiver is years old and doesn't support audio through hdmi, will be getting a usb sound card thanks for your help

Oh lol, where do I find a surround sound source, I have windows 8.1 Pro and realtek installed but neither has any special settings turned on for surround sound. In audio devices it doesn't seem to let me "test" more than two channels and only through my tv. It goes hmdi into receiver out to tv now

I have moved it up and down by removing the pcie slot covers and the rivet wont fit through any slits in the metal and it won't move towards the drive cage at all since its still partially into the pcie slot so is it just impossible to remove?

I am just worried moving the card might bend the pcie slot itself, its no longer snapped in but still seems partially inside the slot.

I am having trouble removing my graphics card as a piece of metal appears to block the card from sliding out but i don't remember hitting it when putting in the card. The case is a corsair 500r. Here is a picture...

Should I send the card back? I also notice artifacting on the bios as well which probably confirms that it's faulty
