Hi there,

 

I'm having some problems with my memory settings, whenever i set the memory to do its rated speed (3000 mhz) through the docp option in the bios, my system will sometimes work but also sometimes start up, shut down and startup again, spewing an error message telling me that my memory settings have been reset.

 

I just want my freaking pc to work stable, if you can help me achieve that, please

 

Thanks!

How many DIMMs of memory are you running? If multiple, try running with just one.

Would this be a more viable option compared to just purchasing an extender? This was my first consideration for dealing with this problem.

Well, depends if you need ethernet. If you don't, a Ubiquiti access point is a much cleaner solution and you can either wall or ceiling mount it. If you need ethernet, what I'd suggest to do is buy an AC Wireless router with gigabit ethernet, such as the TP-Link Archer C1200.

Set up a samba server if you have Windows computers. Also consider an external USB hard drive for your Pi, you can only put SD cards up to 32GB.

I can also recommend Ubiquiti, however they can be a bit difficult to set up at first. You could also buy a router and set it up as an access point, disabling all the routing functionality. It also doubles as a switch so if you want to run ethernet from there to your PC, you can do that.

Can I use it on a USB? I don't have an CD drive

I think so. Try making one with Universal USB Installer.

Windows says that it can't find anything. I could reset the PC or restore it from a USB But the windows oin the USB Has nothing on it but chrome

Maybe try running the BitDefender Rescue CD?

Have you tried running Malwarebytes?

You'd be better off with a separate modem and router than a combo. My suggestion for a router would be the TP-Link Archer C7. Assuming you're on DOCSIS (Cable internet), your best modems of choice would be from Netgear's CM series. Now I don't know what exactly you mean by "fibre", will it be all the way to the house or just a cabinet on the street? 

Hello

I've had my HTC one m8 for over 2 years now and recently the micro USB port has been acting up. It only works , i.e can charge and transmit data, when the cable plugged in is at a certain angle, usually it has to be bent downwards (with the screen facing up), but not too far down. Sometimes it needs to be bent to the right or left as well. I've tried moving the connector around in the port with a flat head screwdriver, but it doesn't change anything. Since my warranty ended in November, is there anything in can do?

Brother?

If you go to sleep from the start menu, it will remain open when you wake it back up.

How do you select the different link speeds?

Yes, it is possible with most routers. You could just create an additional WiFi service set with a different, or no password. Some higher-end routers can also isolate the traffic between these two networks and prevent guests from communicating with other devices on your network.

I would just create a layer 3 VPN, it will be the easiest and most flexible. If you want a security layer for the VPN just use regular IPsec, by default it doesn't allow multicast/broadcast traffic to pass through. If you want to allow some multicast/broadcast traffic but not others, I'd use GRE, and IPsec if you want the security layer.

I'll just do layer 3 then, thanks. The VPN software I use (SoftEther) has capabilities for both types of VPNs, but their tutorial made layer 3 routing sound more difficult.

Hello.

I'm building a site-to-site VPN between 2 LANs, and I have a question about how would DHCP work on such a network. I will have 2 DHCP servers on the VPN and I want devices on one network to get an IP address from a DHCP server on the same physical LAN and use the router on the same LAN to connect to the Internet, and not the one on the other LAN. How would this work? Would a newly connected device get an IP from a local DHCP server? Would it even be able to contact a DHCP server on the other site?

This is the main reason why I'm skeptical about layer 2 bridging. I need devices to use the local router to connect to the internet, not the one on the other site. I know I wouldn't have such problems with layer 3 routing, but that seems more difficult to set up with the VPN software I'm using.

Yeah that's why I'm a little scared.. backing up my computer will take a long time too since the transfer rate from my hdd to my external drops to like 20-30MB.. it's really slow. I've probably got like 300GB+ to backup. I think I might just go and update my win7 because specifically the game required win7 to have 'Service Pack 1' installed (screenshot below).

 

Thanks everyone else for the replies, didn't think I'd get that many, great to see a friendly community

You can just get SP1 from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5842

Why shouldn't it? I'm sure there are people who are having problems with your CPU and Windows 7, for example. Give it a try, see if it works. Usually it will go without problems, but if you encounter any, a clean reinstall will usually solve them.

How about you just try rebooting your computer? The WinRE environment (the blue dialog screen with options to continue, troubleshoot or shut down) is sometimes loaded after an unexpected shutdown (did you unplug your PC without shutting down Windows?) or a failed startup. Just go back and select Continue. If all is good, your PC will boot into Windows 10 normally.

I have a leather case and a screen protector

Then there's me, who's been using a HTC One M8 with no case or screen protector whatsoever. Dropped it several times, only a few scratches on the back and a very small one on the screen that's barely visible.

Depends on the publisher. Some allow free usage for YouTube, some require you to pay a fee.

Buying a USB C cable wouldn't help, Lightning is limited to USB 2.0 speeds anyway.

for data transfer speeds, I can tell you that there's really 2 main units. b/s (bits per second) and B/s (bytes per second). There are 8 bits in a byte, 8 kilobits in a kilobyte and so on. So, if your ISP advertises a download speed of 8 Mb/s (eight megabits per second), your browser or download client would, in ideal conditions, show 1 MB/s (one megabyte per second). You can use speedtest.net to get your connection speed in Mb/s, but real-world performance varies by program, bandwidth usage, latency and many other factors.

You could add a library folder in Steam and just copy the game files from the steamapps folder. Steam, and games using it, are quite portable and don't really use files outside of their installation folders.

"1080p"

According to the SteamVR performance test, no. My friend and I both have a GTX 970, but I have an i7 4790 and he has an FX-6300. We both got nearly the same result, so I assume that VR depends more on the GPU than the CPU. You should be fine with an i5.
