    How on earth do you share a VPN connection over WiFi?

    I found the solution. For future reference everybody who tries to enable internet sharing over HostedNetwork and finds it doesn't have any internet connection try setting Routing and Remote Access service (in services.msc) to "Automatic". It was disabled by default for me. Then stop and start...

    How on earth do you share a VPN connection over WiFi?

    My computer is connected to a VPN (Torguard) and I wish to enable internet sharing over WiFi to connect on my other devices, specifically on an Xbox One which doesn't have any facility to configure a VPN connection on the device itself. My reasons for doing this are I have issues with my...

    Help me understand TCase vs Core Temp

    Well that rules out the BIOS bit. I believe my Core Temp idle temps are perfectly acceptable for Haswell too. But I was wondering if my gaming temps are a little high. I was confused about 75 Degrees Core Temp being acceptable when TCase Max is 72.72 Degrees Celsius (but then TJunction Max is...

    Help me understand TCase vs Core Temp

    Hello, I have an Intel i7 4770 Haswell CPU and I use the stock heatsink/fan (I know it's rubbish but it "should" be "good enough" since I don't overclock or anything like that...but I do like gaming). Now, on idle, my BIOS reports that my temperatures are in the 50s Degrees Celsius. Core Temp...

    Haswell Gaming Temperatures

    So how does TCase work exactly? I've now moved on to playing AC Black Flag and the temperatures are averaging at 65-70 Degrees C on Core0 but Cores 1,2,3 are still averaging at 50-60. Well Core1 is averaging at 60-65, Core0 is averaging at 65-70, Cores3&4 are averaging at 50-60 I would say. I've...

    Haswell Gaming Temperatures

    How long would you say a CPU would last at these temps? I tend to use my high performance PC for gaming and 3D blu ray playback mostly. I do other stuff on it though like web browsing but the main reason I built such a beast was for gaming and the likes. I never overclock...one of my things...so...

    Haswell Gaming Temperatures

    This is what Core Temp read when I took the photo: http://i60.tinypic.com/v62dkl.jpg The current reading for Core0 is 63 Degrees C but it averages anywhere between 60-70. But, as you can see from the picture it has reached 80 Degrees C (it's done so twice so far today). It's swiftly gone back...

    Haswell Gaming Temperatures

    I have an Intel Core i7 4770 (not the "K" model) Haswell CPU. I do not overclock and I use the stock heatsink/fan (which came pre-applied with thermal paste). When idle the temperatures are around 20-30 which I believe is pretty good for Haswell. But when gaming on max settings it averages...

    Cable Management Advice

    Ok, but what if Core Temp and Asus GPU Tweak (or whatever GPU tweak you happen to use) both report that temperatures are normal? Where's the problem?

    Cable Management Advice

    Is cable management as important as it once was now that ribbon cables are out of fashion?

    I am unable to format my blank Bluray Disc as it has write protection

    A BD-ROM means it's a Blu Ray Disk "Read Only Memory". The DVD Rewriter part means it can read AND write DVDs. Therefore you cannot burn blu ray disks, only read them. You need to look for a drive stating BD-R/BD-RW capable.

    Random BSOD new computer self assemble (ntoskrnl.exe)

    Try taking your RAM out and reseating it. If that doesn't resolve the issue, try testing each chip individually to locate the faulty chip(s).

    Internal Microphone and Webcam on Dell Vostro 3560 not working

    Sounds like a possible hardware issue. If you still have a warranty might be worthwhile contacting the manufacturer. Before you do anything, though, can you open DEVICE MANAGER and see if it can detect your microphone & webcam?
