    hmmm... probably the network port itself then. though humor me You connected on a gigabit Ethernet port on the router. if you switch the port your PC is plugged into at the router what happens? Just trying to eliminate all possibilities here

    In the Zip file (I used windows 10 Steps recorder) is a screenshot step by step guide on how to check those settings... (I can upload the MHTML file on it's own if you prefer or if this forum doesn't allow it ) network settings.zip
  3. Metal_Kitty
    then while your doing that I will get a step by step guide thingy for you on disabling the network options I suggested.

    well it would be the realtek PCIe GBE Driver there - right click and check the options... also before you do - make sure you have (as a precaution a copy of that driver from realtek. Top link in the list where it says global http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

    It might seem unrelated. but it really sometimes isn't! is it possible that one of your sticks of RAM is causing the issue... I had a similar problem spent hours looking for a solution - bought new RAM (which I was going to Do anyway) and games stopped freezing on me...

    oh and if you need to turn it back to the other partition format- I would do that first before using transmac

    this piece of software has saved my ass enough times that I bought a license for it...
  8. Metal_Kitty
    if the partition is Mac - then use a piece of software called Transmac to read the disk - as you are probably only going to use it once . the free trial (is a full version trial) should be fine... Once in (need to run as admin) look for your drive in that - it will show up I promise. then browse through the files copy what you need and then do with the drive as you need to... Transmac - little blue exe download link near the top of the page - http://www.acutesystems.com/scrtm.htm

    rather than use MSI's driver - uninstall the driver for the network card Via Device manager, and let windows find the correct one for you... see if that makes a difference, if not run all the trouble shooters. and make sure that windows QOS and IPV6 is disabled in the network configs... If that fails - - I would say that there may be something wrong with the network port on the PC.

    RGB.... Say no more... Function - Lights up the room Looks good too when it's properly colour co-ordinated

    just to explain my WDS network at home is to an elderly Lady across the street who I have been teaching to use the Internet and other basic tasks for her to publish books with... So bearing in mind that the coverage is from my house to a house over the other side of the road through 2 brick walls... I can safely say it's pretty good coverage... though the speeds do tend to drop a little in bad weather... (but then that is only across the road and I am yet to have the signal cut out entirely... Now there is an idea for an informative video - either @ Tech Quickie - What is a WDS Network (wireless distribution service) or for the main channel - what's the best router to use for a home WDS Network! and I have forgotten their Usernames to tag them in posts

    https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833704038 Just a clouple of bucks more has good wireless speeds, reliable connection - I use them for my WDS network - plus 4 gigabit Ethernet ports. Their blurb below Reliable 450 Mbps Wi-Fi for streaming and internet connectivity anywhere Three external 5dBi antennas for greater coverage Gigabit wired connections using four Ethernet Ports Quick, one-touch WPS button setup lets you easily connect devices to Wi-Fi In my experience - Very simple to set up and use too if your a novice at these things. - and if your not a novice then great features are available through DD-WRT if you search for TL-WR1043ND in their database here at this link should you want custom firmware. http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database

    Yup - see step three in my post!!

    So it stays black from when you hit the power button... Step 1. Plug the Graphics card into a different PCI Slot. see if that works. if it works then it may not be the card. Step 2. test the card in another machine. even if the other machine doesn't have drivers for the card It should show something. Step 3. If no results on any of those tests, RMA the card. If "visable" results in either Step 1 or 2. then your PCIE slot / motherboard may be an issue - however it would be worth checking the power delivery to the card. (use an alternative cable and or moduler slot if you have one)
  16. Metal_Kitty
    So the gist of this is - we have unplugged and plugged everything back in again. We have a screen when the monitor is plugged into the motherboard, but not when it's on the Graphics card, We have all the power plugged in properly, and only a black screen when loading up the PC to it's OS. My question is this. when you are booting up the machine off of the graphics card do you see the motherboard bios logo / windows startup logo before the black screen, or does it just stay black from the moment you hit the power button? Two very different possible issues here.

    I always keep a PS2 keyboard spare! - it's a must.

    SImply put though you will need to find a VPN solution that you want to use, then install the software on the server, or enable the role in server manager, create a new VLAN for the VPN service, then ensure that the ports in the firewall are forwarded correctly to the VPN server. Setup the NAT in the firewall solution that you are using to make sure that only the resources on the network that your looking to use are accessible, over VPN, and make sure that you have the IP Address range, scope and subnet set in your DNS on your domain controller, to issue the IP address on DHCP. If you want to give only certain users access to the VPN then you can set settings in the active directory via the OU, and GPO. (Please note it's sunday morning and I am not at all being technical with this at the moment!)

    There may be a setting in the bios that needs to be enabled - which would be USB support on boot... normally under the peripherals section of your bios menu you need either an adapter or a PS2 keyboard though
  20. Metal_Kitty
    depends on the firewall that your using, Dell SonicWALL for instance has it's own VPN Solution, which is Aptly named Dell SonicWALL GVC (global VPN Client) which works off of a preshared key built into the firewall. no key - no access... It can also be tied into a two factor authentication method such as an RSA key or mobile app if you so choose.

    There was a video released recently by Fidra Group on youtube which was directly related to the recent spate of cyber threats in this particular case aimed at Ports across the world where IT and Automation is becoming more and more prominent. The video was aimed at raising awareness of where the weakest links in security on a network is, and It's quite a chilling but true video. and I think it might be worth a watch regardless of if you work at a port or not, but what are your thoughts on it.
  22. Metal_Kitty
    well that's inherently wrong - They do have a plan - but it never works out the way they want!

    exactly - On Camera!!!

    after threatening a 15 Y/O to be precise EDIT: Article was misleading on the information when I read it - not a 15 Y/O

    Check the power connector headers on the Mobo are connected properly! and if they are - then look at the PSU followed by the Mobo...
