So far....it worked! I unplugged the cable last night before going to sleep. Woke the computer up this morning and there was no wake/sleep cycling at all, just when I put it to sleep and then woke it up in the morning. I went into Device Manager and unchecked allowing the network adapter to wake...

In all of the googling I've done I've seen people find out its something with the network adapter, but usually something clearly pointing to it. I will still unplug the ethernet cable to try it.

Hello everyone, I posted this while ago but didn't get much help, and I've been battling it off and on since. I've tried more things recently. When I checked powercfg -requests I was getting nothing. I used the 'reset this PC' function and reinstalled Windows while keeping my files. Right off...

I don't have another mouse on hand to try but I unplugged my mouse completely and no change. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Hey everyone, I've been battling my Win10 machine(main rig in sig) wanting to go to sleep for a few weeks now. I've tried changing power plans, starting and running as few apps as possible on startup, none of that mattered. I recently found and tried the powercfg -requests command and that found...

Ok I downloaded all of those and I ran HD sentinel real quick and all of my drives are at 100% health. I don't have time to run memtest before work today, but I did go deep into the power settings and saw that one of them had the HDD to turn off after 20 mins, which it was never put to that...

Thanks for the tips guys, I will reconnect everything and re run some stress tests. What is everyone using nowadays? I tried Prime95 but it refuses to run on this PC for some reason. I have all power saving and sleep settings turned off since its my home server that I run 24/7, and nothing was...

Hey everyone, my basic server build I threw together a few years ago with an i3 is locking up after sitting idle for a period of a few hours. It will lock up and need to be hard reset. Full system here: i3 6100 MSI B150M Pro-VD 8 GB RAM 5 HDD Thermaltake 850w Toughpower PSU Event viewer is...

I'll take it, PM sent.

Everything in my home network that was originally supposed to be streaming is connected wired, but I hooked up the TV wirelessly since the router is right behind the tv and I didn't expect to be using it to stream. That does explain why the same movie worked fine 1 time and then not later on...

Well I've been messing with this a little more and now the same movie I watched thru the Plex app on the TV is now not playing, and the CPU load on the server is still minimal. The movie stutters alot and then the Plex app becomes very laggy. I'm wondering if its the Plex app that is having issues.

Damn, when I searched which card to use for 4K that was the recommended, I'll check out some 1050 or 1060 cards, and I do use Windows on the HTPC.

Ok I did a little more testing, the HTPC cannot direct play 4K, that has an even older i3-3225 using only the onboard graphics which doesn't support 4K, I don't know why I forgot about that. So I downloaded the Plex app on my TV and that played 2 4K movies just fine, and I checked the CPU usage...

Hey guys, I was searching a little bit but can't really find an answer for my specific question. So heres the backstory, I built a low end Intel based server a few years ago with an i3 6100/MSI B150M ProVD/8GB DDR4, back when I was just storing stuff on it and then streaming to my HTPC thru VLC...

Switching to Chrome would have been a last resort, I was still going to try whatever I could to fix it. Speaking of that, I didn't even know about the about:support page, I went in there and saw there was something called "safesearch.incognito" under extensions that I didn't know was there. I...

It's driving me nuts, I'm about to switch to Chrome because of it.

Hi all, I'm just noticing that my default search engine in Firefox has changed from Google to Yahoo without me doing so, and I actually can't change it back to Google after many attempts. In my searching I saw that apparently Mozilla has made a deal with Yahoo to make Yahoo the default, but I...

Hey guys, I'm looking for hopefully 8GB of some DDR2 RAM for a coworker. I gave him an old AMD desktop for his son to see if he would be interested and he is but he needs more RAM. I just ordered 8GB(4x2GB) off ebay but it was cancelled and refunded because apparently the shipment was stolen...

If it happens she said after a couple times of restarting it works fine. Never tried in safe mode. I don't have access to the PC, and I'm not exactly close either, just trying to help her troubleshoot over text lol. I'll get back to you with specs.

Hey guys, friend of mine had her boyfriend build each of them a computer. I don't know the full specs besides its running Win10 Pro 64-bit. I have the dump file so hopefully you guys can see something from there. What I'm getting out of it is either HDD controller or HDD itself, but I wanted to...

My wife just told me about this. Not too bad if there's a game you have to get on day 1, save some money.

It's true though, it's crazy how people complain about the simplest things, yet there are people everywhere who just struggle to eat.

Under the circumstances I don't feel like either one has died, its like there's a conflict. Literally the exact opposite is happening. At first one drive was completely gone and the other was fine, now the one that was gone is back and the one that was fine is gone. I am transferring stuff off...

I've done multiple combinations of both drives using different SATA cables and ports, and with only 1 or the other plugged in at a time.

Hey guys, bumping this up. For some reason, totally out of the blue again, my other drive is now gone and the one that was gone before is back. As I said in the OP, there are 2 WD Green 2TB drives, one for Movies and one for TV Shows. Before it was the TV shows drive that completely...

Yes it is a custom machine and it was pulled from within Win10 and says it's for Win10, I guess he's SOL....

Hey guys, my brother doesn't like Win10 on his pc and wants 7 back but it's after the whole 30 day downgrade option. I've been searching and all I can find is people changing the old Windows folders before the 30 day period to be able to go back afterwards. I was wondering if I could do a clean...

It literally says in the OP that they are sometimes unskippable... Reading is fun!!!

Well, I'm an idiot lol. It's always something stupid! The default time never changed from like 2007, changed the date and time to current and everything works fine... Lol.

Hey guys, I'm having an issue with an old computer I gave to a friend for his son to play minecraft. It will connect to certain websites just fine like yahoo, but it will not connect to google.com, I get a message saying "this connection is not trusted" on more than just google, but thats just...

+1, I'm intrigued!

Nope no weird noises. I actually always have HWinfo64 running and only 1 drive has shown a Drive Warning for the SMART data, but its the old HP 320gb that doesn't really matter, and its been that way for a long time lol. Hm, I always thought they would start acting up before dying. So is there...

Hello, I'm trying to figure out if I lost a HDD in my server. I have 2 smaller HDDs, 1 for OS and the other for basic storage like music and pictures, and then I have 2 WD Green 2TB drives, 1 for Movies and the other for TV shows. I stream from the Movies and TV show drives to other PCs hooked...

I actually tried a couple CD/DVD checking programs and they both came back with no files and a few different errors, so I'm guessing the write was bad or the disc is bad. He is going to try to get the file sent directly to him from a file hosting site.

Hey guys, my father-in-law has a DVD-R they got from a place with a security camera with a clip they needed. The disc is showing almost a full gig used but opening the disc doesn't show anything. I even have show hidden files checked. Is there any type of program to find the file thats...

Did you even look? https://www.google.com/shopping/product/1764258851836102984?q=lego+super+star+destroyer&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&sa=X&ei=JERIVbTeJ8rBggTU-YGIDw&ved=0CH8QuSQ Heres my set as well, seems it goes for a pretty penny nowadays...

I've actually had this happen before with my 3500 piece Death Star II Lego set, one of my cats knocked it over a few years ago and it exploded even worse than the Destroyer did, so bad that I literally just got it rebuilt a few days ago after finally doing inventory on it and order a couple...

Thanks for all the responses guys. I guess I'll wait for a whole system refresh. @eddie; I've had the system since February of 2012, and to be honest, BeamNG Drive is basically the only game that pushes my system, mainly the CPU. I don't actually play that many games, and I just recently...

Hey guys, I'm running the "main rig" system in my sig for gaming, and I'm curious about upgrading my 2500k. I looked around and it looks like the best CPU I can get for my current mobo is the i7-3770k, which a Microcenter near me has for $250. Now I know what you're going to say, its a...
