Just as an aside, you actually can use rebar on that board with a beta bios update. BIOS version 4.20I adds that support for that board.

From the monitor page: 1. 1920 x 1080 @ 180Hz only works with DP port. The HDMI port only supports 1920 x 1080 @ 60Hz.

Based on the product ID in the first screenshot, this is an HP workstation PC with a 4th gen intel processor. It is very unlikely that there is more than one drive in the computer, especially if you can only locate one. It is also very unlikely that this computer has an SSD unless you put one in yourself. If you were seeing a C and D, it was almost certainly because the one physical drive was partitioned into two different logical drives. Knowing HP, the D drive was likely a recovery partition unless you were actually storing data in it. You can replace the drive with either a SATA SSD or a normal SATA HDD, though unless you're storing a huge amount of data, I would just recommend the SSD at this point for performence. Just be aware you will have to reinstall Windows on the new drive, so make sure you have or are able to create an install drive for Windows.

This is your problem. You should be using A2 and B2 if you only have two sticks. Move the sticks to those slots and DOCP should work normally.

This appears to be a driver issue with newer intel WiFi cards and certain hardware configurations. MSI laptops specifically seem to be affected as I was having this exact issue with my MSI laptop with Intel AX201 wifi. The newest intel WiFi driver found here basically completely resolved the issue for me.

Network transfers are limited by the slowest link in the chain. Your devices cannot connect with each other directly over the switch. They are going device -> switch -> router -> switch -> device. The router is still the bottleneck in your situation.

Looking at the screenshot in the previous topic you made, you were running 2Mbps I/O with 20% network utilization, so it appears that your ethernet link is only running at 10Mbps. You stated you have already used different cables and different router ports, and have gotten normal speeds with other devices. This means that the issue is either a driver problem or a hardware issue with the port on your computer. Try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers for your NIC first. If that doesn't work, it's fairly likely that the ethernet port is failing, but it wouldn't hurt to boot to a linux flash drive and try there just as a sanity check before getting a new NIC.

Have you tried what I suggested in your previous thread? Open up device manager and find Intel Management Engine Interface under the System Devices section. Open that up and click the Power Management tab. Uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" and click OK. I have seen this exact issue multiple times and this has fixed it every time.

Likely a power setting issue with Intel MEI. I've seen this multiple times. Open up device manager and find Intel Management Engine Interface under the System Devices section. Open that up and click the Power Management tab. Uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" and click OK. Enjoy, everything should work normally now!

The second error is likely due to the drive you're copying to not being formatted as NTFS. NTFS adds a lot of metadata to files and folders (owner, read/write permissions for various users, etc) which cannot exist on other file systems like exFAT or FAT32. When you copy from an NTFS source to a non-NTFS destination, it will show you that message letting you know that if you do the copy, the file will no longer have that metadata once it is in the new location. This loss of metadata won't affect the actual contents of the file or folder.

If the same activities that are causing the issue in normal mode are not causing it to happen in safe mode with networking, I would start looking at programs you have installed first. First thing to try, If you have an antivirus/firewall installed, remove it. To be sure it's gone completely, use the removal tool provided by the vendor of the software. Misbehaving antivirus/firewall software can cause all sorts of odd issues including freezes like you have described.

If a normal reinstall did not help, you may need to try using the removal tool, or failing that, do a manual removal. The removal tool and manual removal instructions can be found here. Please be aware that manual removal involves making changes to the registry, so be careful to follow the instructions exactly.

As AugOwnz alludes to, Macbook Air thermal throttles under normal use, not to mention something taxing like mining. I would strongly suggest not using that system for mining if he values it.

Honestly, unless your entire system is build around wireless (Sonos for example), any solutions for wireless rears are likely going to be janky at best.

If you want to reduce the temps and power draw and increase the hashrate at the same time, reduce the power target for the card to around 50% and pump up the memory overclock. You should be able to take the fan off of 100% that way as well. Mining can deal with a much higher memory overclock than gaming can. Just remember to set the settings back to normal when you are using the computer.
