    If you don't have fishing line, dental floss works very well. And smells minty after you're done.

    Win7's done, but customers asking for it !

    I recently had a similar issue. It was the USB to Serial chip driver for windows 10. It would install a basically dead version of the driver that wouldn't let it get a com port.

    Is this a modem problem or is it something else? Need help.

    Put an unmanaged switch between the modem and router. The first time it happens unplug the cable going into the modem and see if it still resets. Next time do the same thing with the cable going into the router. This should let you isolate which port is being reset by unplugging the connection.

    Is this a modem problem or is it something else? Need help.

    I had a couple switches that would overheat and do something similar. I removed the top of the case and installed a fan and never had another problem. I have also had switches that if i had to guess were trying to route to the wrong ports. As soon as i restart the switch the problem went away.

    Make sure they they both have different LAN addresses. Also a bad switch can cause this problem.

    Which GPU brand generally has the best build quality?

    My Asus Strix speeds hold very well and the cooling is exceptional. My Asus dual is pretty crap. It's very hard to buy based on branding alone. When i buy a card i usually fit the largest cooler i can from a good brand.

    VoIP Phone Service recommendations

    Almost every one of them would need to be reset multiple times per week. We would stop getting calls and customers would call my cell to tell me that our lines were dead. We tired a bunch of firmware revisions to see if any worked and they all had the same problems.

    email delivery report says “smtp;550 5.6.0. Sorry, looks like SPAM to me”

    We had a similar problem at our datacenter. We ended up forwarding all of our automated emails through sendgrid. It sends out through a managed ip address that is always whitelisted.

    any good deals on camera security systems?

    I just went through this for my business. I ended up setting up a virtual machine with ZoneMinder. I bought some 4MP POE cameras and ran everything through a POE switch. You can install ZoneMinder on a regular PC it doesn't have to be a VM though. I have had bad experiences with the cheap DVR...

    Is gig worth it at home?

    I have the homehub 3000. Apparently you can bypass it by taking out the sfp and installing it in a router. Haven't really looked into it yet though.

    Is gig worth it at home?

    Double check the pricing before you sign up. Gigabit was $149 and the package i got was $99 which includes gigabit. I don't have much interest in TV and the home phone is not even hooked up. Better to save the $50 though. I will say that the Bell box is MUCH better than the Rogers cable box.

    I don't know if this is the right area to ask this.

    If you pick one brand of kit as the main adapter you should be able to buy expansion kits which will sync to the original adapter.

    Mystery Malfunctions: Mainboard killed by PSU?

    I had a similar problem. It was a bad SSD. System would be running fine, slow down and then hang and reboot. I'm assuming it has something to do with the page file not responding and filling the ram? Not sure but after i swapped out the SSD i had no problems. At least it's something to try.
