Hello, I'm in the process of building my first PC and, as such, I'm rather nervous about messing something up. So I'm trying to be extra careful and, if there's any trouble down the line, I'd like to know if anything I did now could be the potential cause. Without any supervision whatsoever...

My dad called and asked me to help him find a new router. Here is what I know. His connection is over DSL through a DSL modem supplied by his ISP. His current router is an N. His max line speed is 50 mbps. He streams Netflix and that is his heaviest usage. 3 to 4 devices might be used at once...

How to hook up

Hello everyone! My windows 10 laptop doesn't recognize the microphone of my headset when I connect it in the audio jack. Only the sound works. I've tried with many different headphones. If I connect my wireless headset via Bluetooth, both the sound and microphone work fine. Thanks for your...

I know there may be an obvious choice but I’d really like to see a good modern choice for around $200 or less? Open back would be preferred as my closed back sennheisers are nice for travel, but a bad choice for gaming. Any ideas? Let me know, and thanks! Edit: I’m not exactly looking for a lot...

Recently, I have been encountering BSODs at random times, so I decided to go with a fresh installation of Windows. It did not solve the issue. Currently, the system is fresh, with only graphics driver installed (which is my main suspect) I also am not ruling out hardware issue. Sometimes...

So im stuck between RX 580 ARMOR MK2 8gb and the MSI GeForce GTX 1060 6gb. i have no clue what to go to because the 1060 has a way better core and boost clock. But the 580 has more vram. They both pretty much have the same memory clock so i don't know what to go for. Im new this kind of stuff so...

Long story short: My landlord is a prick and won't connect fiber to my our house cause he's greedy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. So I'm thinking about getting one of those satellite dish wifi transmitters. Something like this: https://www.ubnt.com/airmax/rocketdish-antenna/ One would be connected to his router...

So in the beginning I was getting intermittent computer freeze ups. I went thru disck cleanup, Malwarebytes scan, and then loaded CCclean and took care of bad registers, and cleaned again. Everything was working great for awhile, and then it froze up again. I figured I would check the...

Hey all, So I've had my PC for a couple months now, and twice this bizarre and infuriating thing has happened (btw I don't know if this is the right place to post as I'm not even sure what kind of issue this is). The first time it happened, I completely reset windows and it seemed to be...

I have a Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD3-P3 (DualBios, flashed years ago to UEFI) with i5-2500k with 8GB DDR3. With multitasking, my memory would run low, so I bought another 8GB on ebay (Ballistix sport) from a reputable buyer to complement my 8GB g.skill ripjaws, to hold me off for another year or so...

Hello! I'm kind of caught between which CPU I want for my build. I'm pretty much just doing gaming and maybe a tiny bit of streaming on the side but not very much. Should I go for the fairly cheap i5-7400, the more expensive 7600 or right in the middle with the 7500? Again I'm basically only...
