I can load webpages on my laptop and my wife's laptop just fine....no issues whatsoever. On my desktop however I constantly have to refresh a page to get it to load or wait several seconds/minutes. I...

Hello all!

I have been having some strange connectivity issues on my desktop. My gear and details below.

RCN cable internet
Netgear CM1000 cable modem
TP-Link AC4000 wireless router
ASUS 4x4...

A simple restart fixes the persistent taskbar but I cannot for the life of me get the popups to come up in the notification/system tray area. Clicking the sound button does nothing, clicking the...

Hello all,

I have tried restarting the computer and then also restarting explorer.exe and neither have worked. First my taskbar will randomly show over a fullscreen game, fullscreen YouTube video...

CrystalDisk worked fine, all passes.

The WD Lifeguard Diagnostic Program would force close a few seconds after starting it on this drive, worked on all other WD drives (both my 1.5TB black and WD...

Swapped out drive, everything seemed fine as I moved data back onto the drive. Worked great for a few days and now back to same intermittent issues, videos pause randomly often times for several...

I will check now, and edit post shortly with my findings.

I used to map the drive but once I got this new router I just plugged the external in and both me and my roommate can access it without...

These settings are on for both, HomeGroup connections are no longer available on newest version of Windows.

Regarding credentials, yes I have tried logging out of both my PC and laptop and...

I did make the changes you mentioned as both services were set to Manual and neither were running, on both the PC and laptop.

I do see boxes under Network as you mention but my PC still does not...

Hello all,

Seem to have an odd problem between my PC running Win 10 x64 1803, my laptop running Win 10 x64 1803 and my TP Link AC3200 tri-band router.

I currently have a 6TB WD external hooked...

CrystalDiskInfo checks out fine. All in good status, 43 C temps.

This program force closes 8 seconds into this test on this drive. Could not get it to work. This test runs fine on my 1.5TB WD...

It's an internal HDD. Will do these when I get home later today but as the gentleman below mentioned. This happens when drive is active, I suppose the slow loading of a particular folder or the...

Hello all,

Purchased a WD 6TB not too long ago and it seems to be having issues. I store several video files on the HDD among a number of other files. It often will hang when trying to load a...

Thanks for this. I just did this.

Thanks for sharing!

Well then.....thank you for this info. I'll be sure to remove mine.

Yeah I bought those same ones for my rad. They will be here tomorrow. I have 3 140mm Noctua NF-P14s 1500 redux-1500 RPM on the back but they are definitely not running at full speed...I'll see how...

What do you have your top and back fans running at? I know you said rad fans at 1800 or so and only turn them up if you are benchmarking, etc. but what about top and back? Thanks again for all your...

Mine sits in a M.2 shield that helps with heat dissipation ;)

Thank you again for sharing vid. The only drive cage is below the radiator under the PSU shroud, airflow is well above this cage. There is still the air filter, fan mounting bracket and radiator...

Yes, that is where I have my rad. I think it works best here for my setup. I love the shroud, hides all of my cabling and makes the case look really nice. What would be the benefit of removing the...

This was my thought process....I also thought many of the components would not receive proper airflow?


The only thing I am doing differently here is intaking from the top. No fan on bottom like...

I figured this was the concept but good visual. This PSU has a fan on the back that blows out of the case and the fan is on the bottom. There is a removable filter underneath. Thanks for sharing vid....

I have the Noctua fans ordered. Currently the SP120s that come with rad range from 1300-1800 depending on idle/load. I flipped my 140s on top to intake and set them at 1000 with the exhaust at 800. I...

Thank you all for chiming in here. Just going to let it do it's thing and not bother with it.

By the way....NVMe speeds are BLAZING quick, a 960 Evo 250GB was only $129.99 which was slightly...

Hello all,


I am connected to the 5 Ghz band through my AC T8E and have a TP-Link AC wireless router but the status of this adapter in Windows 10 is showing the wireless N protocol versus AC and...
