I've let Windows install the drivers itself. I disabled that just so I could install them myself to see if the issue was there. I also forgot to mention that I've completely reinstalled Windows.

Hey forum, Lately been having this frustrating issue with my ethernet port. For reference, it's a Asus Z170 Pro Gaming w/ latest BIOS and Windows 10 x64 It started happening a month or so ago maybe. I have an idea of what it could be but I just hope maybe theres something I've missed. A month ago was about when my old PSU started dying. Making cracking noise as if something was arching. I've had an ethernet port die due to a blown PSU before, so that only reinforces my concern. It's detected in Device Manager, only I get "This device cannot start. (Code 10) {Operation Failed} The requested operation was unsuccessful. Reinstalling drivers and all associated software completely has been fruitless (As well as turning off automatic driver updates from Windows) Resetting CMOS/Reflashing BIOS will cause it to work for 2 or so reboots. After that it goes straight back to giving me an error in device manager. I've tested the port while it was working with my router and I can't fault it's operation before it stops working entirely. When the port isn't working, I am still able to get a link between 2 devices, just nothing beyond that.

Done that many times already

Lately I've been working on someones laptop and believe theres a RAM issue with the system. The laptops been known to bluescreen a fair bit. Basically what I've been able to find was, all workers will stop after a few seconds in Prime95 only when both stick of RAM are in the laptop, memtest86+ will only return errors when both sticks are being used, and memtest86+/prime95 will run fine with only 1 of the sticks of RAM. I've tried putting either stick of RAM in each slot and ran a memory test, all of which not picking anything up. Tried running the laptop with just 1 stick of known good RAM, but the laptop screen won't even light up. Could it be the memory controller?

Not completely, the internet here is ridiculous and it says the download'll take about 400 hours They are

I'm working on a mac for someone and am trying to reinstall Yosemite. I've completely formatted the HDD (GPT, HFS+) to no avail I'll sometimes be able to boot to my usb and it'll start the installation properly but it'll get stuck at 'Verifying installmacosx.pkg/installesd.dmg", other times it'll start the installation weirdly, like the GUI is different and it'll say Install OS X, instead of Install OS X Yosemite. I've tried different USBs, rebuilt and reformatted the bootable USB. This is all using the 'Install OS X Yosemite.app' download from the mac app store, which I have used to install Yosemite with before I've heard third party ram can cause this, but there isn't any. I've also heard the installer could be picking up bad blocks on the hard drive (possible) and that's causing it to fail

Any suggestions to fix? Lower the graphics settings more?

I've also tried shutting a lot of my background processes down before launching the game

MalwareBytes, Chrome, Dropbox, Steam, and DisplayFusion are probably the only ones that would make a huge difference I guess. Nothing different to what I'd run normally prior to the crashes. Normally I'd only have 1 chrome tab open

Hey, I've recently been having some issues in GTA V as of recent. I notice after a while, I start to drop frames, typically when moving through GPU-intensive areas, as you would expect. Though this isn't really common for me. Up until recently GTA V has run fine maintaining 50-60 FPS, with most things set to their highest setting, the only real thing set much lower is the texture quality (Normal) As I get into these GPU-intensive areas, textures will stop loading, and will just be an ugly, extremely low-resolution texture. Once I go further into these areas my game will simply crash, usually taking my GPU with it, forcing me to restart (blank screen). I get low memory warnings from Windows, and programs will often crash (MalwareBytes, Chrome, etc) even though I'm only at ~85% RAM usage in the worst cases, with GTA V using up about 2.5GB, which is perfectly normal. I've been monitoring my GPU and the VRAM is at nearly 100% usage for some reason, even though I've played the game fine on higher settings. I've ran multiple different tools to see if my GPU is having a hissy fit, such as FurMark, 3DMark, PerformanceTest and compared benchmark scores to those with the same GPU, with normal scores. I've also tried stressing the VRAM and checking for errors using Video Memory Stress Test and memtestG80 (or memtestCL, I forgot which one). All my benchmark scores appear pretty normal and I've also tested my system memory (memtest86) to no avail. What I suspect is perhaps my GPU is failing to flush old resources from the VRAM and load new resources in. I guess it could also be GTA V, but I have yet to see someone with the same issue. I am running GTA V unmodded, completely Vanilla and up to date (v1.0.231.0), I have the most recent driver updates for my GPU and my temperatures are normal My specs are CPU: AMD FX 8350 Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 R2.0 RAM: 4 x 2GB DDR3 @ 1333MHz (2 x Kingston, 2 x G.Skill) GPU: Sapphire Radeon R9 270 PSU: Corsair CX600M Game is running off a Samsung 1TB HDD Windows is running of a 120GB Samsung 840 Evo

I've done both, Tedstar. Afraid the 2 aren't enough. I would like to put another hard drive and an ODD in it.

Hey everyone, I'm having this issue that I have never had before. I've recently got a hold of a couple identical PCs with not-too-bad specs. i5-2300, 4GB RAM, 500GB SATA2 Hitachi HDD, GGA-H67MA-UD2H mobo I wanted to basically put the two together into one and make a spare pc for myself. I moved the RAM and HDD from one to the other, and for some reason I can't get the PC to detect the drives in BIOS or in Windows when theyre plugged into any of the 3 SATA 3.0Gbps ports (SATA2?) All of them will be detected perfectly fine when plugged into any of the two SATA 3 ports. I've tried flashing the BIOS, formatting the drives and installing the SATA drivers, tried moving the parts over to the other PC, with no luck.

Bump

Recently I've started up my own little home computer repair shop, and have slowly been evolving it. Eventually I'll be setting up a file server for the sake of convenience, but for the time being I'm sharing a folder with files from my PC. The transfer is going from a Windows 7 PC to a Windows 8 PC, about 1 metre from eachother. When accessing these files and copying them from my PC to the PC I'm working on, I'll get very slow transfer rates, (Min 300KB/s, Max 1.5MB/s) and I'm not sure why. My PC has a 300Mbps 802.11n wireless adapter, the router is capable of 802.11b/g/n and the destination computer has a 802.11n adapter. I'm pretty close to the modem and get reasonable signal, about 10 metres and 2 walls between us The link speeds for both devices to the modem, according to the modem, are 11 and 6Mbps for some reason. Earlier when I was transfering files they were somewhere in the 30s, and still had the horrible speed There isn't any heavy network traffic during the transfers, as it's 2am and god forbid anyone in my house besides me is awake I've looked into disabling 802.11b/g on the modem, but have not had much luck finding the settings, with the modem being some bundled shit that comes with my ISP My modem is a Technicolor TG587n v3 Leave a message after the beep, I'm going to bed
