    somethingawsome got a reaction from JAKEBAB in Patent to "force" phones into certain state when in a certain location!   
    This is the issue I have exactly. There are many annoying things about phones going off when there not supposed too, but in some cases there justified. Going to have a proper read over this during the day to see exactly what were in for!

    There maybe some syntax errors & some functions are not written, but hopefully you get the gist of it by the function names. Still a little new to this. 
    Bonus points, guess the language!

    It's plausible that the 2 bad sectors you've discovered could be responsible, a good way to check would be to check the S.M.A.R.T status of your drive using either a POST diagnostic, or program like HD Sentinel. If the S.M.A.R.T status reads anything other than healthy then your drive is most definitely on it's way out.

    Some of the symptoms you've mentioned sound very much like they could be GPU driver related also. Have you checked that your drivers are on a clean install, and up to date?

    With that said, I'd highly recommend running the "check disk" utility in Windows. Chances are it probably is the HDD causing the issues. But you should check that your system is also not over heating in any way, and I'd recommend running Memtest to check your RAM is working properly.

    Edit the order from most common to least common question.
    Suggest some good routers in different price brackets.
    Suggest some VPN providers.
    Maybe add more questions.
    General polishing.

    2.4GHz vs. 5GHz and what does dual band mean?
    What is QoS?
    What is the difference between a router, a switch and a modem?
     
    What should I look for when buying a router?
     
    What is port forwarding and how do I do it?
     
     
    How do I access my router's web interface?
     
    What is the difference between Megabit and Megabyte?
     
    I have heard about this thing called pfSense, what is it?

    Hi all the way from Ireland
    Came across LTT on YouTube as I was planning on building my first PC this past summer! Since then I've got more and more interested in the Tech world and hopefully joining the forum will help me learn more!
