Let me know if there is a better sub-forum to post this type of issue/question. I have a 6 month old build that randomly re-boots all the time. I get no warning, no blue screen, nothing. I have power on set to off on AC loss. I have restart set to off, Win Update set to off. Most common...

My thought was to purchase my own cable modem instead of the monthly rental from Xfinity/Comcast. I'm looking for reasonable ROI. I don't need wifi built in as I already have an AP I can use. However eliminating wi-fi from the modem/router doesn't seem to really save much, supply and demand...

I consistently get a 0x8007003B error trying to copy pictures from my Win10 machine to any of the two Win7 machines on my home network. Files sizes range 1.5 to ~13MB *.jpg. I checked the target machine during the copy and the CPU was pegged at 100% I don't have this problem copying between...

At present my home network is on a 10/100 ProSafe VPN Firewall switch that sits behind a cable modem. A while back I added a 5 port gigabit switch for the media PCs. I want to add more ports and clean up the distribution panel by consolidating to a single 10/100/1000 switch. I don't need...

The WOL Win7 issue seems well documented. I just can't find a solution. I've checked all settings; BIOS; NIC; OS; tried all the common solutions posted on various sites; magic packets, etc without luck. I've tried a couple third party utilities that broadcast the magic packet without...

Recently a new device is appearing on my home network. I'm running three Win7-64 computers. I don't know what it is or where it came from. It properties are; Computer Name: BRCM-LVG Computer Type: Windows NT4.9 Server WorkGroup: Workgroup Should I be concerned?

Can Raid-1 support 4 and 6 disks? That is what I take away from this article. http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2011/10/raid10-vs-raid01/ On a single drive failure does Raid-10 recover as easy as Raid-1?

I have the Xfinity X1 Router HOW5220_TC_8717 acting as a gateway. Prior to its install my router and switch ran addressing 192.168.0.xx Now the expected addressing is in the form of 10.0.0.xx. On my old router (NetGear FVS318) I had to turn off DCHP to function as a switch. Now I...

Never set one up so I have a lot of newbie questions. What is the easiest configuration to recover from a drive failure running Win7 or Win10? Is it Raid-1 because each drive is a copy/mirror or is it 5, 6, 10 etc.? I have a GigaByte GA-880GA-UD3H Rev2.0 board with AMD Athlon II x2 240e...

I build a computer every 7 to 10 years so I'm always behind on things. On my current build a friend recommend a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU cooler. When used on a vertical mother board (mid tower case) Are there any issues with the weight of these types of CPU coolers with the fan and sink...

I'm looking to build a quiet/silent office PC mid-tower case. I'm thinking i7 CPU and a fan-less GPU card. Probably the most intensive activity would be HD video editing. The cases I've identified in no particular order are; Fractal R4 Gigabyte Cupio 6140 Corsair 550D Antec P280 Any...
