I use SurfShark for the very good price/perfromance, and have been very happy with it.
 

I have been using it for years before it was an LTT sponsor, my only gripe is they are much slower than allot of other VPNs. For example I have 300/15 but with them enabled I might get 50/5 if I am lucky.
 
Other than that I would recommend them, they have improved their software allot, and bit torrents works with them; allot of VPNs block that. Not the best but a great value.

Oh, that changes things. I don't think that there's an option for that.

I'd agree IMO. I've had many high-quality brands fail me due to just bad luck. It happens to all of us.

@CreamyCornCob I was giving an example that even though there are supposed high-quality fans, it's just a luck of the draw that determines if it'll last or be good as it's supposed to be. But maybe that'll work. 

Ahh there we go, took a few times with that narrow 2 second window and 'cant close, being used by another program'. Put a # on the end and - Cortona is worm food.
Little bugger!
 
Thanks for that help @Princess Luna ?

If you don't know what SOL, CSP shaders and more now do for Assetto Corsa, you're missing out. 
 

DDU - thats it TY

Fixed ! ! !
 
Well well ?
We did everything. Before ordering the new ethernet card, one more thing.
Power the pc down, unplug psu, reset/kill all power on mobo.
 
Damp, not wet or dripping, on goes the isopropyl alcohol on a que tip and lighty cleaned inward and out on the ethernet pins a few times. Blow to make sure its dry (it wasn't wet) and any fibers from the que tip.
 
Powered everything up and....

 
We did it!! Of all the swapping of ports, router ports, cables, running ubuntu, changing settings, plugging in other devices.... It was a single or few pins that decided to get dirty
Keep in mind, this mobo is new from 6 months ago and the cat6 were unplugged only a couple of times, but still somehow they got smedged.
 
It made sense with pins 1-2-3 and 5 making contact, the others not and it defaulting back to 10mb.
So I want to thank everyone from both threads, Thank you very much for all your time and help, LTT group is the best.
And that's : @mariushm - @SupaKomputa - @brwainer - @Tadrith - @Eniqmatic - @Lurick - @Mira Yurizaki - @_Syn_ - @Mdgtman91 - @Donut417 
Cheers!

Well thank you very much to the both of you. Years ago, I've built many many PC's, maybe 40-50 high end machines, but that was in the early 2000's. Then time stopped and got out of building, only to start a simple open air design for myself in 2019. So much has changed, but some things remain the same.
 
So its kind of all new, but it isn't if that makes sense. And that's why I appreciate the help. Its sort of like feeling your way around in a dark room that you're used to be familiar with - but all of the furniture has changed
 
Thank you again for all the help.
Will report back and touch this thread just to say it worked, which I'm sure it will.
 
Cheers 

It will boot up in to a desktop where you can test Linux. Though it should have basic Network drivers and at least allow you to test the speed. Keep in mind Live CD means it runs off a CD or Flash Drive, it pretty much just stores the data in RAM, nothing on your hard disk will be touched. So there is no issues with your system. 

Yes, assuming the adapter is indeed working 

the BIOS on that board will detect you have installed a high TDP chip and refuse to boot, 8370 is the best you could get on it.

even then it should still be fine it's only 4 months

Pulling out the USB drive might caused usb power pins to bridge 5v rail together momentarily (moister build up, bent usb shield, damaged physical usb port etc) causing the PSU safety circle to cut power. Seen this before :).
 
Can also be a super sensitive PSU causing the issue
