I was just down mucking around with it. Turn the power supply on and off a bunch of times hit the power switch a bunch of times. Got it to turn on once after I had removed the video card but upon re insertion it wouldn't boot up. I pulled the video card out again it wouldn't boot up. This thing...

It's been eons since I had an AMD, not that I have anything against them. I think the last one was a 1900 Athlon? I'm not near a microcenter but I'll check out their AMD packages as a reference.

I had thought about the battery but ruled it out off hand. I just changed it for giggles and it is still dead. If I leave the ps switched off for a while to let the capacitors drain and then switch the ps back on and hit the power switch I get the briefest green blink from the led on the...

Thanks for the detailed and extensive replies guys. I upgraded my main HDD to a ssd a year or so ago and my video card to a 960 along with a new monitor a couple years back. It's been a solid system with upgrades as needed. My lian li 10 bay computer case has been the stalwart backbone...

I have (had) a GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD3R (LGA 1366) motherboard that finally bit the dust over the weekend. It's acted up before, not wanting to reboot from time to time, but after a neighborhood power failure, it's not coming back to life. The thing came out in 2009 so it doesn't really owe me...

Another update: I installed an inexpensive Rosewill RC-411v3 Gigabit LAN card this afternoon and, knock on wood, it's running great. I have no idea what the issue is with the ethernet port on the motherboard. All I can guess is that it's getting really old (7-10 years?), something is just not up...

Update: Issue has returned. It's definitely computer specific as the computer I built my son shows no symptoms when he's gaming at the same time I am. This is not ping (latency) lag. There's something going on where the fluidity of the motion in online games is messed up. I tried a few more...

Well, after doing some searching on the internets, I applied a couple of fixes. Unfortunately, I didn't check after applying each one, so I can't say for sure which fixed (so far) the problem. I first went to the Realtek website and downloaded some new drivers for my network adaptor and applied...

Framerate is fine. It's clearly not a FPS issue. Happens in all modes (windowed, borderless window, fullscreen) Yes, I have GeForce experience installed. All online games seem to be an issue. Tried a couple of offline games. All were fine. No stuttering (pr rubberbanding) at all. I have...

Been a long time since I needed assistance, but I can't figure out what's going on with my computer. I primarily game with a couple of FPS games, Overwatch and TF2 (mostly just OW now, but the boy likes to play TF2 still so...) Anyway, within the past few weeks, the computer has developed some...

People still play this? How is this even a topic of interest?

They don't know I have the wireless router set up here, and I have the wireless portion turned off. I'm only using the wired ports. I'm in a different building, in the machine shop office. I don't think I can set up a static IP on my computer without admin rights, which I don't have. The...

First off, I'm not new here, but I haven't posted in a long time and I can't access my old account (forgot PW and don't have access to old e-mail account). Also, I'm not that good with networking issues. I've messed with computers & hardware for a long time (20 years), but don't really deal with...
