I don't use the computer for charging - I use the connection for file transfer.

Alrighty...I **think** the problem is solved! I got a can of electronic cleaner opened up...

You brought up a good point about the type A and type C. Many of the boxes use 3.1 Gen 1. This particular one has 3.2 Gen 2 Type C so it should in theory be the fastest one. I have 1 type C port...

Its looking like external is going to have to be the solution for now. Looking at the measurements of those cases, the enclosure in my desk that holds the computer is not tall enough or deep enough....

Both of my systems are there. System 1 in my profile is the laptop, system 2 is the desktop. The rear ones work. I tried updating drivers but it did not find a better one. First thing I'm going...

My computer case has two front panel USB 2.0 connections and I've had a problem with them ever since the beginning. Behind the front panel they are on a little pc board screwed to the panel with 1...

This one has 3 internal drive bays. I could probably use one of those 5.25 bays to hold another drive if I needed to. My motherboard is a smaller format so I think there would be more space between...

Yeah, I really don't know what to do. I've been thinking about it for a long time. There's a height consideration for a taller case, and few cases today are sold with optical drive bays - I don't...

What do you think about this for external drives?

I am reaching the point where I need a solution for more hard drive space. Problem is, I have a small form factor case and more than 1 drive is not going to be an easy fit. When I urgently needed...

Well so far it seems to work! I installed the new Corsair memory and I'm showing 16gb. My highest usage with photoshop open was around 80% so that's an improvement. I haven't tested it working...

Thanks. So I see that GSkill is compatible and its a 3200 frequency so I assume the board can work with 3200s? I was going to shop Newegg for that and a couple things but this memory thing is...

I need more ram for my system. I found a local store that carries DDR4 modules but from what I can tell its not the recommended speed (frequency). My board is an AsRock B450M Pro 4 and the CPU is...

Ok guys I apologize for lack of an update. During this extended trip I was too busy to experiment with different things. When I came home to my regular setup I stopped using the wireless internet...

A new problem has just come up. I am getting pretty severe lagging with my mouse mostly but also at times my keyboard. They're not new. Both are wireless and I've swapped the batteries but that...

I went to that link and where it says "download" but it downloads as a zip file and 7zip won't open it.

Also, I logged into the Arris modem manager and looked at the event log. There's a long...

By both devices you mean my phone and computer, right? As I said I tried bypassing the router (so that means no wifi to the phone) but the problem still stayed on the computer. So then there's...

This problem is REALLY frustrating me. I don't know if its my equipment or setup or if its a job for my cable company (Cox). Cox says they'll charge me a $75 service call if the problem is not...

Theres also a Seagate Firecuda for 130 and a Seagate Ironwolf for 125. But what's the difference?

I might need another hard drive because I'm running out of space. Looking for suggestions. I have always had a dedicated storage drive and thru the years its been growing in capacity with digital...

Alright, I put it back the way it was with the signal out of the modem through the router to the computer. I did a firmware update but the page said it was just security fixes. Its all current now....

The problem has been occurring more. Not only on web pages but also email - sometimes Outlook will say "server not found" but then if I hit it again it will find & download the email. So I decided...

I had it on both Firefox and Chrome.

Well, I had to revisit this topic. It seems that it lasted for several days but then began again. Malware Bytes didn't find anything this time. I'm getting random "server not found" errors in the...

Thanks! So far I think that fixed it. I installed Malwarebytes and it found a pup.optional.OpenCandy and I quarantined it. Since then I've had no links fail to open.

I use both Firefox and Chrome browsers both with current updates.

This is a weird problem that makes me think possibly my internet router (Netgear Nighthawk R6700) doing it - but I could be wrong....
