    First startup Asus ROG Strix Z690-E mobo issue with post

    Got windows installed. Now on to drivers. Bios seems really flakey though. Seems like you change much of anything from optimal default settings and it won't post.

    First startup Asus ROG Strix Z690-E mobo issue with post

    The computer was failing post and booting into safe mode. I changed all mobo settings to default optimal settings and it boots and posts fine. But I can see that changing much at all in the uefi will make it go right back to no post or boot into safe mode. Now I'm loading windows and trying to...

    Sorry I can't figure out how to delete it. The computer was failing post and booting into safe mode. I changed all mobo settings to default optimal settings and it boots and posts fine. But I can see that changing much at all in the uefi will make it go right back to no post or boot into safe...

    First startup Asus ROG Strix Z690-E mobo issue with post

    I will have to check the aio connection. Would that make that big of a difference? I combined two new sets of ram to get 64gb. 4 X 16gb. Maybe the two are not compatible, even though they should be the same.

    First startup Asus ROG Strix Z690-E mobo issue with post

    They don't make a 4 stick set of 64Gb for what I was looking for so I went with (2) sets of 2 X 16gb Corsair Dominator Platinum. I wonder if that could be the issue? I should try and take out the 2nd set of DIMM's to see what that does. Thanks for the input.

    First startup Asus ROG Strix Z690-E mobo issue with post

    Hey everyone. Just booted up a computer I finished building just the other day. Only the 3rd one I have ever built and I've been out of the loop for awhile so go easy on me if it's something stupid. Lol. Last one I built was 12 years ago and still going strong. Here's a parts list. Asus RoG...

    Need basic video card for Blue Ray movies

    I told a friend I would help him find a video card for his system. I have done research before buying my own but I have only bought gaming video cards, so for just a basic card, I don't really know what to look for. He has a Dell Inspiron 530 running Windows Vista 32bit. He's looking for a...

    Dual monitors for gaming. What my best choice for cables?

    No. I use headphones almost 100% of the time. I just assumed HDMI would have the best picture.

    Adobe Flash Player updates

    Why is so hard to find an Adobe Update from the actual Adobe website? You look for an update and you get multiple updates from third party websites. Most often, you get updates with extra software you don't want, and who knows what else. I have updated several times to find software I...

    Dual monitors for gaming. What my best choice for cables?

    Hey everyone. I have a fairly competent computer, (in my sig), running an Asus GTX 670 video card. Also running dual Samsung T24C550ND 24" monitors. This video card has an HDMI port, a display port, a DVI-I, and a DVI-D port. Right now, I am using an HDMI to HDMI cable for one...

    Dual display, text not very sharp

    Hey everyone, I have two 24" Samsung T24C550ND monitors set up and something somewhere along the line got changed and now my text seems hard to see. It doesn't look as dark or focused as it used to be. It is especially noticeable when looking at text against a white screen. I have been...

    Upload speeds are terrible

    My ISP tells me there is nothing they see wrong with my router. I think I may have figured out the problem, and it wasn't what I was expecting. While doing some research looking for NIC drivers or my motherboard I saw other people with the same board having similar problems. A motherboard...

    What should your ISP be able to do about a bad traceroute?

    I'm surprised you had to upload that much data. I wonder if my slow .20 Mbps upload speed is making the site so slow for me? I ran a program I found call Netalizer that told me I had a very high buffer time that could affect uploads. Not sure of the exact wording, I'm at work right now...

    Upload speeds are terrible

    Hey everyone. I have noticed for the last couple weeks my speedtest.net upload speeds are terrible. I have 10 Mbps cable internet and speedtest tells me it's right on. But my 3 Mbps upload speeds are down to .20Mbps. Verified on a couple different sites. I have an Asus rt-ac66u wireless...

    What should your ISP be able to do about a bad traceroute?

    No firewall filtering or disallowing third party cookies. But I think I will disallow third party cookies after reading up on it. In developer mode I can see everything you mentioned. I can even give you a screenshot if you like. But there were a lot of long bars.

    What should your ISP be able to do about a bad traceroute?

    Just these two as far as I know right now. Same exact results. I use speedtest.net fairly frequently. Shows 10Mb speeds like they should be. Although my upload speeds are about .20Mb, but that's another problem I need to work on. Other wireless devices have normal upload speeds.

    What should your ISP be able to do about a bad traceroute?

    Walmarts site will load the homepage fast but take about 15 seconds before I can enter any letters in the search. Once I search it just sits there trying to load the next page which never happens. Any other activity I try on the website will show me the "walmart.com is not responding" box...

    What should your ISP be able to do about a bad traceroute?

    Going to those sites with Google Chrome works, but is still slow. IE with no ad ons is slightly faster but still slow (site loads faster but hangs). Disabling ad ons one at a time doesn't make it any better.

    What should your ISP be able to do about a bad traceroute?

    Walmart.com and Paperlesspay.com. Both of these sites take 2 to 5 minutes to load right now. Walmart.com was good a couple months back but for the last couple weeks anyway I try but give up on it after a minute or two. Usually its about the 14th hop. then all the rest time out also, up to...

    How do you set displays to come on with Desktop power button?

    Hey everyone, I just bought two Samsung T24C550ND 24" monitors to run side by side on my desktop computer. These both have tv tuners and I do use one to occationally watch tv on. One is connected through an HDMI cable and the other is using a DVI cable. There are a few bugs I've had to work...

    What should your ISP be able to do about a bad traceroute?

    Hey everyone, I have noticed a couple websites that just don't load for me the last couple weeks. I have run a traceroute on both and after about the 14th hop the request times out. I emailed my ISP about it because I have heard they can sometimes alter the route bypassing the slow...

    Dual display desktop background question

    Thanks, that was the problem. For some reason yesterday I was trying to do this but everytime I released the mouse button, the right monitor would return to the slightly higher position. So I didn't think that was the problem. Thanks.

    Dual display desktop background question

    Hey everyone, I got most likely an easy question for you, but not so easy for me. I just hooked up dual displays to my rig and am trying to figure out how all this works. It's definitely different figuring things out compared to a single display. I made a panorama picture with Microsoft...

    How do you have a pair of monitors but use one occationally for tv?

    I think I have halfway figured this out. My cable tv signal needs a little black box to hook up to TV's or monitors if I go standard definition. I may just buy 2 monitors, one with a built in tv tuner (or both) to save having to install an extra card in my computer. With one cable from the tower...

    How do you have a pair of monitors but use one occationally for tv?

    Yeah, so much different stuff to consider here. Guess I would need a lot of input from people in the same situation I suppose. So many different cards that do different things. I just don't know what to look for in a tv tuner card. I guess I'm looking at no need for video capture. No...

    How do you have a pair of monitors but use one occationally for tv?

    So basically I would have an HDMI or DVI cable to the monitor, and through the cards software, be able to switch back and forth from tv to computer output? Of course in my situation I would also need a little black box that my cable company/ISP provides for all my other TV's in the house...

    How do you have a pair of monitors but use one occationally for tv?

    By doing some more searching I see a lot of people are using their monitor/tv to record shows or stream movies. I really have no use for any of that. I just want to be able to switch from monitor to tv to watch anything live on our "basic" cable package.

    How do you have a pair of monitors but use one occationally for tv?

    Hey everyone, I have a gaming computer that I built about a year back. It is a pretty capable system with an NVidea GTX 670 video card. I currently only run one 25" LCD monitor. I was looking to buy a second monitor that matches this one as close to possible, even though it's not made...

    Wireless home router (Linksys WRT110) slows down after about a week

    Hey everyone, I have posed this question before without any real answers. So I figured I might try it again as I am ready to buy another wireless router to replace it. It would be nice to know whats causing this to make sure a new router would correct this situation. If I get a new router, I'm...

    Shouldn't my Windows Experience Index be higher?

    Are the 3D settings specifically for 3D monitors, or to push the card for better all around gaming performance? That is one part of the NVidia control panel I have left alone because I thought it was only for 3D monitors.
