  1. The screen on my laptop has been flickering on and off for a while. I have ignored it successfully, but now it has gotten so bad that I have to do something about it. I have tried updating the display adapter, but it did not work. I am thinking it may be a loose connection between the screen and internals since it seems to get work when I tilt the device towards the touchpad, but I am looking for feedback if someone else experienced something similar to this. I have attached a video of the problem. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. New video.mp4
  2. Yes I have tried another cable, and I also tested the current cable and it is working.
  3. I am having a problem with my internet connection. I just upgraded my system to Ryzen, replacing the mb, cpu, gpu, and ram. I use a Netgear EX3700 wifi extender to connect to the internet using the ethernet port on the side of it. Ever since I upraded, i have been dropping connection constantly. I noticed initially that the port on my mb (MSI Tomahawk B450 Max) wasnt locking in, and I thought I was losing connection because the cable kept coming loose. I added a TP-LINK TG-3468 ethernet card, and the problem was fixed for about 2 days. The problem came back, so I decided to reset the wifi extender, no luck. I tried moving the ethernet card to another slot, no luck. I tried connecting via a usb-ethernet adapter, no luck. Everytime I lost connection, I tried fiddling with the cable, and the connection would come back. I am sure the wiki extender, cable, router, and usb adapter are working. I tested them with other known working hardware. I also checked to make sure my cpu has no bent pins, i found none. I am worried I need to replace my mb. Please help CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 GPU: Nvidia 2060 Super MB: MSI Tomahawk B450 Max Wifi extender: NETgear EX3700 Ethernet card: TP_LINK TG-3468 Cable: AmazonBasics ethernet cable OS: Win10 64
  4. I just upgraded to Ryzen, and I am having problems with my internet connection. I have a wifi Range extender connected to my pc through an ethernet cable. Every so often, my internet will drop, saying that windows has detected a network but is unable to connect to the internet. When i wiggled the ethernet cable around, it would connect, but lose it shortly after. I tried installing a new ethernet card, thinking the port on the mb was bad. This helped the situation for a few days, but now the problem is back. The range extender is known good, the cable is known good, and my router is known good. I am thinking the mb is defective, but would like suggestions before I rip apart the pc to replace the mb.

  6. I am looking for a replacement power supply for my qnix monitor, but all I am finding are overpriced pieces of generic trash or a ps that I am unsure about the connector. Does anyone know of one that will work for sure? It requires 12V 5A but it also says 45W???
  7. Thank you, I only ask because they are both OEM and things can get strange with them.
  8. Can one motherboard be bound to multiple OEM windows licenses? I have an OEM version of win 7 pro and am about to install win 10 pro oem. Will i run into any problems?
  9. The subwoofer on my speaker set is making a humming sound whenever it is plugged into the wall, doesnt matter what else is connected.
  10. There is a low humming sound coming from my speakers and I cannot figure out what it is. It is not from my PC and I tried multiple outlets
  11. I am attempting an upgrade of my PC to windows 10 because of the upcoming games only on the windows store. I am using the media creation tool to upgrade, and it keeps getting stuck on "Getting things ready." I am not sure if it is supposed to take hours, if it is actually, or if something is messing with its operation in the background. Any help is appreciated. Updates specs of my machine are on my profile.
  12. Im not really interested in capturing gameplay, just playing my switch in a window. oh okay so theres nothing out there that just displays, good to know, thanks for the help.
  13. I am looking for an expansion card for my pc to act as an hdmi passthrough. Basically I want something to plug my nintendo switch and play it in a window on my pc. Not sure if this even exists but any help is appreciated.
  14. I got an ASUS Zenfone 3 zoom, and i installed the google now launcher. Now the clock on my lock screen is not showing up and I have no idea how to fix the problem.
  15. I was thinking I could use rufus to create an ms dos startup disk and run setup from there
  16. I don't think so, I was wondering if there was a work around
  17. I have an old Dell Optiplex 780 that I am trying to turn into a Steam Machine. The latest version of the bios does not support UEFI Boot mode. Is there a way to install in legacy mode?
  18. I should have done more research before posting here. As it turns out, there is a setting buried in the app that allow you to include all sms and mms data in the backup.
  19. I just upgraded my smartphone (android to android), and I want to transfer all my old text messages from my old phone to my new phone. I already tried SMS Backup/Restore after hearing good things about it. As it turns out, it doesn't backup any photos or group messages. Does anyone know of a better method?
  20. Thanks, that fixed the problem. I should've known as I am a certified specialist in excel, but I haven't used it in years so I am a bit rusty.
  21. I am working on a spreadsheet, I have a formula to reference another sheet within that same workbook. The formula only retrieves that value and it's there if the value changes, everything else will change too. When ever I try to copy the cell to other cells, it is pasting it for the corresponding cell in the other sheet. For example, the formula is retrieving the value in cell L2 in sheet1. Whenever I copy that cell in sheet2 with the formula to the next cell down, it references cell L3. I have neither no idea what the problem is nor how to fix it.
  22. My modem/router is in the basement of my house, and I use a powerline adapter (TP-LINK AV500) to connect to the internet from the second floor. However the powerline network constantly breaks and I have to run all the way downstairs to fix it. Should I replace the powerline with something, and if so, with what?
  23. Right now its only running at 700 rpm, but it ramps up when under load, to about 1800
  24. I have a Sapphire Nitro RX 480 in my pc, and it constantly runs at 80 degrees C when playing even the lightest game. Ive got 2 intake fans and 1 output fan in my pc, but it runs hot all the time. Not sure what the problem is.
