  1. usb 3.0 hubs don't work with windows 10! Mine is forever failing "root hub" in device manager.. drivers r fine..it'll right itself then fail again...unreliable SIMPLE piece of technology!! disable/uninstall - none of these fixes work... SOMETIMES you can power off and disconnect the hub then do the device manager routine and it rights itself but it ALWAYS fails again! Super frustrating
  2. Seems to be solved after loading optimised defaults in bios....which is strange as i changed everything back (pretty sure) when i was fiddlin...ah well take the win - thanks people :-)
  3. i was playing around in there yesterday when it started but everything is how it was before the issue. It is a china/ebay psu but its been solid for almost 3 years now - 1000w - system only draws 550-600ish and thats when gaming loads up. motherboard is a gigabyte 970 gaming
  4. Hi guys! My pc has started having a delay when you hit the power button before "powering on".....this is also happening on a restart.....it seems to completely power down then 2 secs later boot up... I've had a dig around online, some people say maybe the CMOS battery on the motherboard needs replacing..if that is even possible? OR and simply the PSU is about to crap out?... HELP PLEASE :-( I don't have $170 for a new PSU

    wifi dongles

    hey team, NEVER used a wifi dongle on a desktop before - i've purchased a realtek rtl8811au wireless dongle 802.11ac to use with an old system running windows 10.....I install the drivers...plug her in....the thing shows the available networks in the area just like a phone,. i try to connect as you would with a phone and all i get is Unable to connect to this network! this is driving me nuts! has anyone had this issue before??
  8. Referb its ok, i wanted to see if all these bits would work before i went and got a nas server as all it needed was a psu and a couple cables. SHE'S ALIVE!!
  9. oh ok, cool no explosions today then :-)
  10. Hi, I bought this psu as i am throwing some old parts together to use as a server or something.. It has 2 plugins??.....CRS SWITCHING POWER SUPPLY.... Question is...do i need to worry about the male input? or just plug a cord in as you would any psu and switch it on..
  11. cool ok, adapter simply to run a 2nd display but that is good to know i'm not missing out using hdmi for my main display
  12. Hi Guys n Girls, I've just been slapped in the brain... I've been using an HDMI cable connecting my monitor to my MSI R9 390x..... *prepare to laugh* I just bought a vga to hdmi cable thinking i could hook up this old screen for S&G's (S#%T's n Giggles) The HDMI wouldn't fit in the second jack in the GPU... SO - After looking into it i find the 2nd jack is something called "Displayportv1.2" *Que Laughter* My question is..... Is it better to be connected to my monitor via this displayport jack or is there really no difference? (note- if so i would be going for a Displayport - DHMI adapter as i have cable managed out the wahzoo) *Monitor is an AOC 24inch 60Hz*
  13. Yeah the brand seems common here in NZ in the booklet they call it an ION F11 which has hits on google haha. I only want it so my gear doesn't just switch off in an outage..not expecting to be running it with it. With the added bonus of keeping alive my fibre box and router plus the landline (which total a pull from the wall of 20w)
  14. i've got a power meter coming too to measure the draw from the wall ( wasn't going to buy ups till i knew figures but the damn place went and had a sale! haha) It sounds worse than what it is.. i have so many multiplugs simply so i dont overload them. i mean one socket powers - pc - monitor - printer - speakers n sub - RGB led lights and a couple of chargers and the other pretty much only runs the router - landline - 2-3 cell chargers and a strip which sometimes runs laptop charger - hot glue gun etc..NEVER shorted the power in the office just from a double plug in the wall
  15. I just brought this guy which has 2 plugs in the back...I currently run 2 plugs from the wall... 1x extension cord to the other side of the room running 3 multiplug strips - (WALL-EXT CORD-MULTIPLUG STRIP-MULTIPLUG STRIP-MULTIPLUG STRIP.) and 1x multiplug which has all the pc stuff plugged into it and 2 other multiplug strips in total...(WALL-MULTIPLUG-EXT CORD-MULTIPLUG-MULTIPLUG) Will it be ok to simply plug the ups into the wall then plug these two cords into the ups?
  16. mmmm yeah i'm looking at a ups $100 done and dusted prob less hassle haha
  17. Hi does anyone know the name for the 6 square plug?? mains plug has this end which goes into my fibre box... I want to find a USB to (whatever this is) so i can plug a powerbank into it during an outage
  18. Thanks yeah i've just submitted an inquiry with them. gosh i hope not. I had to get this all the way from the states as most stuff sold in NZ now does not work with the Karaken G12 :-(
  19. Hey guys, My AIO has started making this weird noise almost every day that i've noticed which last about 10 seconds and sounds like a cell phone on a table vibrating...brrrr...stop...brrrrrr...stopAny idea what this could be?I've had the h105 since January this year and to my knowledge it has just started doing this the last couple of weeks..I don't know if this is by design (like printers self clean or whatever randomly) or if this is a known issue that is going to require attention..?

  20. Hi Guys! I updated to an "evaluation copy" of windows lastnight given that i joined this insider program...NEVER had the watermark on maybe 2 updates since joining this.... but lastnight it updated and gave me the watermark and didnt seem stable so i reset to previous version...but now i get this error... I've tried uninstalling all updates listed etc - it did re download a cumulative update...restart...same same.... can't find anything helpful online....troubleshooter does nothing... HELP
  21. seems normal now after changing this setting....just weird as i've NEVER fiddled with the settings before but somehow they "changed" without changing lol it's always been on balanced..
  22. Has ANYONE else found that their desktop etc brightness "gamma" is way higher for some reason after the latest update the other day?
