Thanks for all the info. After a bit of experimentation, I realized that the computer does only wake up when it's in hibernation mode. Based on how it's acting, I doubt it would be the wireless waking it up. Most likely a peripheral USB, possibly my mouse since I don't currently have many...

Yea, wifi is on a wireless adapter.

I'll have to try shutting it down completely after work today and testing that out. Not 100% sure, but thinking this only happens when in hibernate. Thanks for the info.

I have an ongoing issue with my computer sometimes booting up when other appliances are turned on or off. At my old place, when I would turn my fan on or off in that room, my computer would sometimes turn on. I thought it was an issue with the wiring in the house, so I wrote it off. Since...

Wow, that's just horrible. It really is disgusting that people exploited the situation like that. I'm definitely going to wait a while then before I get one. While I'd love to make a new build, I don't see a point if I'm going to get gouged currently. More than willing to wait. Hoping...

Thanks for the info. I wasn't even considering shortages due to covid. So then are a lot of things harder to find on Newegg these days, or just higher prices? From what you wrote there, seems like a lot of it might be hard to find and would be better to wait a while for things to go back to...

Considering building myself a new computer while using some of the components of my current one. To cover the info about what I’m looking for: - My priority would be one that is optimal for gaming. Secondary use would be for video editing for YouTube content. - As far as my budget, I’m hoping...

Well thanks so much for all the information. You've all been very helpful, and I really appreciate it. @ Waldorf - I really like your suggestions. I think the one that would be most viable for me at this point would be to put together an offer to send out to local businesses to help them...

Well, I won't have time to put a ton of focus into something like this. All I wanted to make was just a website and local business listings to be a local resource for computer repair. From what I saw so far, there's only one actual website for a local computer repair business, but then...

I'm in the US.

Wasn't sure of the best place to post this, so here goes... I'm 34, and looking to change professions. Long story as to why, but the health and fitness industry I have worked with over the past 15 years is completely dead due to the economy. It is only a small part of why I'm changing...

But why would I go with a 3.0 that could be OC'd to about 3.7 when I can get a 3.7 that could be OC'd to 4.5+? would a slightly better memory controller outweigh that big of a difference?

Well after researching on the net, every single review I read about XCLIO PSU's (6) were very good, saying they are very stable, perform well, and all have high ratings from reviews. On a related note, Apevia seems to be the worst rated and also fraudulent since they don't put out the amount of...

Odd, because when I bought it the reviews for it were excellent. I've also had it now for about 3 years with no problems at all. I'm on a real tight budget, so Im wary of spending money on it if I dont need it.
