    Computer having WEIRD issues

    ...and if you do think it's the SSD, why YouTube videos? Also an update, as I have been on here posting, I went back on YouTube, and now videos refuse to start playing again (Ads won't even play). I haven't shut down or restarted since they were playing just a few minutes ago. I feel like...

    Computer having WEIRD issues

    I am at a loss as to what it could be... A few weird things have happened since I did a fresh install on a new Corsair 250GB SSD drive (Windows 10 64 bit) but nothing that really made me question anything, until today. I came downstairs and turned my PC on to find "Steam" wouldn't connect to...

    When Should I Upgrade? (Kaby Lake or Cannonlake)

    By the way, yes, the Corsair Force-LE was on sale for $50, so that was my first SSD (Besides my very old 30GB SSD). Then I picked up the 850 EVO the other day, preparing for the massive amount of games coming out this Sept-Nov that I want.

    When Should I Upgrade? (Kaby Lake or Cannonlake)

    Are you sure? From what I've read is that Kaby Lake and Cannonlake will still be on the LGA 1151 socket, but both use a 200-chipset (Union Point). (Skylake boards wouldn't be compatible)

    When Should I Upgrade? (Kaby Lake or Cannonlake)

    So I just finished building my buddy a new PC (Core i5-6600K, RX480, 16GB DDR4), and it got me in the mood to give my computer some tender lover and care. In doing so, I swapped out my GTX 780 for a MSI GTX 1070, and also bought 2 SSD drives. (Samsung 850 EVO 500GB for Games and Software, and...

    Considering going back to College for Programming

    So do you kinda pick a "section" and just go with that? Seems there are so many languages out there, it's like endless. I suspect once I actually begin school, I would become more knowledgeable as to what area of programming I'd want to focus on? This is more than likely what I'll be going...

    Considering going back to College for Programming

    Thanks for the input gentlemen, greatly appreciate it. I know I have to start with Visual Basics in College, but looking ahead, what coding languages seem to be most common/desired in the workforce? With my current job at the state, my benefits are very nice and could probably easily slide...

    Considering going back to College for Programming

    I've been out of the computer field for quite some time now. 11 years ago when I joined this forum, I was so sure I'd have a degree by now in computers. Sure, I still build computers on the side for friends and co-workers, but my original plan to go to College for programming back when I was...

    Monitor goes black after a few seconds.

    So a family member just called me up. Their kids were playing with their computer yesterday, and now the monitor is constantly going blank/black after ~5 seconds. They say the light on the monitor stays green, but the display seems to turn off. I personally am stumped. They live a little ways...

    Looks like the GTX 280 OCX is kicking the bucket :(

    The reason that I originally bought my GTX 280 from BFG-Tech was because I once RMA'd an 8800 320mb GTS from BFG that was my friends card, which went bad, and he was just going to throw it out. BFG asked no questions, I sent it to them, and less then 2 weeks later, I got the newer 8800 512mb...

    Looks like the GTX 280 OCX is kicking the bucket :(

    Well, I RMA'd this card nearly a month ago and still haven't gotten my card back. While I am on vacation for this week, I decided to give BFG a call yesterday as I would like my card back for when I get back from vaca on Sunday. Come to find out, a card still hasn't been shipped to me, and BFG...

    Gaming mice?

    For the last 3+ years, I had a Logitech MX518 after my standard ball mouse started to not work out for me when it came to gaming. I loved my MX518, though early this year I did start to feel it was a little bit too small for me. When my middle mouse button stopped working on it a couple months...

    Lose Wired Internet Connection for 20 seconds now and then?

    I don't want to get over confident but I have yet to lose connection since I did this Soulphire. May I ask what changing the last numbers in the IP Address could've possibly done to fix such a problem?

    Lose Wired Internet Connection for 20 seconds now and then?

    Thanks. Changed the settings, I'll see how it works out and will let you know if I continue experiencing this disconnect problem. :)
