  1. the drivers are all up to date. and i was on the adapter i was using. im using https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833320333
  2. 5 ghz does work outside of games, but if im doing anything else the connection will drop instantly if i launch a game. Signal strength is about 83% (router is in another room)
  3. I can connect to the game servers fine on the 2.4ghz band, just not on the 5.0ghz band. I assumed it was the adapter since i don't know what else it could be.
  4. Im not sure what the problem is with my current network, but i cant connect to my games at all (path of exile and dota 2, havent tested others). This only happened while I was on the 5.0ghz band and everything was fine on the 2.4ghz band so i assumed the problem was with adapter.
  5. I need to look for a new dual band network adapter. I currently use https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007GMPZ0A/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 but the 5.0ghz band is either faulty or just not working because when im on 5.0 im not able to connect to game servers. Budget: 45$
  6. I found the issue, the 5.0ghz band on my adapter was bad 2.4ghz band was fine and was able to play after i switched
  7. This started happening yesterday. Everything was working well before that and then suddenly I couldn't go online in any of my steam games (Dota 2, Path of Exile). The things I have tried with no fix: - opened the ports (it didnt allow me to just turn port forwarding on and off so I just enabled ports 10000 to the max number from the router settings) - netsh int ip reset and netsh winsock reset - rebooted router - checked firewall (everything was fine and nothing is being blocked). A little more info: I just moved in to a new apartment that has at&t internet 300, but it there was no problem until yesterday. Surfing the internet works fine but whenever i launch a game that tries to connect the internet just goes down until i close the game. Specs: Win 8.1 64bit GTX 1070 I5-6600k 750W PSU Asus motherboard z170-A SSD, HDD, corsair ram. network adapter: TP-LINK N600 The network adapter has given problems before but never like this.
  8. Hello all, I have corsair k65 lux keyboard. Today I spilled some coke on my desk and some got in the top left of the keyboard, thankfully it was only the ESC key that got most of the liquid. I took out the key and washed it and then used a q-tip (with water) to clean where the key goes (on the outside of it). I then let the key dry out for it and put it back in. I guess it wasn't dry enough because now the ESC key is unresponsive and every few minutes or so it triggers itself constantly for about 5 secs then just goes back to being dead. How do i go about fixing that key?
  9. Wouldnt it void the warranty if i opened it? one of the fans smells burnt (not the actual fan but whatever its under it). Im guessing is the vrm since everything else in the system seems to work just fine but when i put the card in, the pc doessnt even turn on.
  10. Yesterday my gpu just decided to stop working and went out with a bang. It sparked up and then the entire pc shot down, took it out and everything else is fine thankfully. I have an EVGA gtx 1070, can't remember the exact name. I bought it from amazon little over a year ago, and I didn't get any insurance for it. My question is, do I have evga warranty, and if so how do I RMA? Thanks in advance.
  11. Hello, I have posted about my problem several months back, on multiple websites and no one knows what it can be, all the lights are on when the pc goes to sleep/shutdown and the fans are running, but nothing else works, its like its frozen. I came to the conclusion that it was the network adapter causing this since i took it out and i ran the pc on ethernet and nothing happen. I switched the adapter and nothing changed. I have changed every setting thatr can deal with the wireless adapter (power options) and nothing works. I came to another conclusion and that's where i need help, could it be a faulty pcie slot? both adapters i have give me the same problems (and they are both compatible), i put them on the same slot as well, and only when there is nothing on the slot does the pc work fine. could this be the reason?
  12. Ya I forgot to say it can only be ATX since thats the only motherboard i have
  13. Hello tech dudes, I been using my enthoo pro since I made my build last year, but now I have to move the pc into a table with a smaller compartment than the enthoo pro. I can't really change tables because it was gifted, and I can't put it outside the table because I have no space (small room) or on top because it's stupidly weird design makes impossible to put anything on top... so I need to look for a new case. Dimensions of the compartment: H: 19.75in W: 11.5in L: 17.5in Preferably a front intake so that it doesn't heat up. Or top intake is fine if it's less than 17in so that it has some room for air, there are multiple fans in the room at all times (florida) so it shouldn't get too hot. ---Edit--- ATX only
  14. Yes, i tried with displayport and hdmi, in the motherboard and in the gpu, both didnt work.
  15. I didnt shipped it, i moved it myself. And yes i just moved it as it was, i just took out the cables and put it in the case's box, it was very tight so it didnt move the entire ride.
  16. Hello, I just moved from my college back to my house. I moved my pc as well, and I tried putting it in my home but now it doesnt send signal to monitor. Everything turns on, all fans, and all lights, the keyboard lights(caps lock). I have tried with multiple monitors and still get the same result. I took the ram out and put it back in to now avail. I took out the gpu and plugged the monitor to the motherboard and still nothing. Please help, im freaking out because i dont know whats wrong.

  17. Hello guys, ever since i built this computer I been getting this problem, I asked some time ago but couldn't solve the issue, and stopped asking since the problem stopped, now I have it again. So the problem is basically that most of the times the computer goes into sleep mode, it kind of freezes. The pc is still on, with all lights and fans still working however it is unresponsive, the keyboard, and mouse are also unresponsive and don't wake the pc up, the monitor doesn't show any picture either. At first I started troubleshooting by taking off different things and seeing if the problem persisted, and taking off the network card worked, so I got a new one, but the problem persisted with the new card, however, it stopped doing it for a while. The other day I reinstalled windows (clean install) and the problem just stopped completely, both network cards worked perfectly fine and I wasn't getting any problems. However, a week ago, it started again, I think it started when I installed an editing software and a quick message about .net framework showed up, I payed no attention to it and went about my day. When I put the pc to sleep that day, the problem started again. Now it does it around 60% of the time the computer goes to sleep. I looked up some solutions, and the only straight answer was someone that set the sleep mode state to S3 (however I don't know how to do that since it is not on my bios). I would really appreciate some help with this problem.

  18. Well rip. If i move my games to the other drive will all the launcher programs be able to detect afterwards (most of my games are steam/blizzard/origin).
  19. Hello. I'm about to upgrade my old win 7 with a win 8.1 key I got from kinguin. I have a lot of programs and games on the drive in installing the new version of windows, can I just use the windows backup and then restore it after the new version installed? Mainly so that I don't have to install all that stuff again.. (i have another drive I can backup the things too). Thanks in advance, cheers.
  20. Yes, i been testing it on my desktop but it gives the same error. It said something about SMART. I cant even boot to my usb windows kit when the hdd is plugged in to the desktop.
