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....

I had a chance to use it some and kind of "test drive" it with the SSD. Its way faster than before. There's a few things that are noticeable slow like Windows updates...upgrading to the current w10...

I did it! I took apart my first laptop! I took the plunge and disassembled it, and installed the old SSD that I have laying around from my previous desktop. I got everything put back together and...

I should have been more specific. The clean install was on a new drive. THIS drive got "retired" and stored. When I installed it today in the laptop, it came to life just as it had been left when...

On my last computer build, I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and it created a backup folder of the entire windows 7 install in case I wanted to revert to it. It takes up a lot of space on the...

As noted earlier in the thread, this Dell will require unclipping the connectors & removing the board because the drive is on the bottom of the board. And the top cover/screen has to be unscrewed to...

Well, I've never done a laptop teardown. But seeing my success at desktop teardowns I think I could do it. I discovered that I actually have a 2.5" SSD laying around here...a Samsung 840 that was...

Looking on Newegg I can get an SSD from Team Group for $40 and I can get a Crucial memory kit 2x 4gb for $26.

Well, I don't want to spend a lot of money on a laptop since it is not my primary computer. I looked at some current listings for used ones and it would be confusing to tell them apart, to tell the...

Would it make a big difference to change out the CPU? As for the ram, I don't think I'd need 16gb based on how I use it so would I gain much to replace the 6gb with 8gb?
