Same issues. I ran a separate ethernet cable from the source and put it on a separate hub. Same deal, it will randomly cause everything on that hub to lose connection. However, everything on that other hub stays connected now.

To update, I factory reset the modem/router. That fixed everything for... it looks like 3 days. For three solid days it was good, and I suddenly had that same issue again. Lost all ethernet connection, but the instant I unplug that one computer, they're all back online.

I setup new static IP addresses for all my LAN connections and turned DHCP off. So now the wifi doesn't work of course, but I have the same issue. Would that rule out the spoofing?

The lights are still double green on the switch. I checked in the router home page and everything has a different IP address. I don't know anything about MAC conflicts, so I haven't looked into that. It's so odd that it works for a random interval of time then kills everything. Also when I...

This may be a fairly specific question. I have 2 normal PCs, a media server running windows, and a mining rig running hiveos plugged into a TP link TL-SG108 8-port unmanage switch. The switch is the only lan connection to my router/modem. It has all been running just fine for 1-2 months. For the...

Hello, I have an MSI Z270 SLI PLUS motherboard. I've been using this build for 3 years with a sata SSD and 3 sata HDDs. I recently upgraded to an NVMe M.2 SSD as my main drive. After cloning, it took a while to get the computer to recognize the M.2. I had to re-seat it multiple times and tried...

UPDATE: I just did the paperclip bridge trick to test the PSU. The case lights came right on, the fans worked, and then the PSU exploded. On my way to Best Buy. >_>

Hello, I just moved halfway across the country. I have built many PCs and have moved frequently. Upon setting up my custom PC, I found it will not start up. Here is my build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7MhkYH When I hit the power button, I hear a rapid clicking sound coming from the PSU...

It was the PSU. I Installed a new one (80+ Gold this time) and it's working perfectly again. Thank you.

Thanks for the reply. My case has not been moved in the past 3 months except for cleaning, so I doubt something would have happened to the power button. I'm going to rule out the case power button by starting the PC with a short now.

I'm running a custom PC I built 2.5 years ago. I take good care of it - the internals are cleaned regularly. It shut down once last week without warning. This happened again today. I couldn't power it on for about 40 seconds; the power button simply did nothing the first few times I pressed...

I've switched back to the old RAM with which I never had issues. I reset the settings in the BIOS, and I am having the same issues as with the new RAM. Now I'm really confused.

I was able to run 4 passes on each of the DIMMs alone and 5.5 passes on the pair of DIMMs together. No errors. The 5.5 passes took over 10 hours..... I'd be content to run these at 1600 at this point. I've tried a plethora of different DRAM and CPU-NB voltages on both 1866 and 1600 now. The...

I tweaked the voltages two more times, and it looks like they stuck, but there's no improvement. This computer is used to get my work done and is my primary source of entertainment. I ran a memtest this morning on one stick, and it took an hour and a half to do one pass. :/ I reinstalled my...

I changed my voltages and played a game that previously would not go past the intro videos (which worked fine oddly enough). I played for about half an hour with no problems. Afterwards, my PC suddenly crashed with nothing but Chrome open. This is the first time I've had problems outside of...
