Hi All, So earlier today, I received an e-mail from Comcast stating my internet speed was being increased from 300 to 400 Mbps. I restarted my router/modem combo and tested the speed on my laptop; it was around 280Mbps. I then tested it on my phone; it was 370 Mbps, which is correct. I had thought that maybe my account didn't update or something, but this proves that it did. I can't figure out why I'm not getting the upgraded speed on my computer. My router is a TP-Link Archer CR700. My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 7586 which has an Intel Wireless AC 9560, which according to Intel's website, has a max speed of 1.73 Gbps. I wouldn't think this network card would be a bottleneck since I'm nowhere near the max speed. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S21 (not plus or Ultra). What I've already tried: -Restarted computer -Disabled then re-enabled network card -Ran ipconfig /renew & ipconfig /flushdns commands I'd greatly appreciate any help you can provide.

Hi everyone, Around two years ago, I purchased the following monitor on Tmall: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32975586687.html I was really disappointed when, shortly after using it for the first time, coloured vertical lines appeared on the screen: I included this image in a reddit post where I explained the issue and the troubleshooting steps I'd tried, but was unable to find a solution to the problem. Eventually, I gave up, and the monitor went into storage...until recently when I stumbled across the following post on this forum: I tried adjusting the power cable while it was connected to the monitor just like Vamo_Elysian did and sure enough, re-positioning the cable does temporarily cause the artifacts to go away. I hadn't even considered that the power adapter might be at fault, but it looks like that could be the case. My question is, do you think my current power adapter is faulty, or do you think it's output isn't suitable (too low/high)? I don't want to waste money on an adapter that's exactly the same if that isn't the problem, but I also don't want to do any damage to the monitor by undervolting/overvolting (if that's even possible, I don't know much about electronics ). The power adapter in Vamo_Elysian's post is rated for 19V & 3.42A (65 watts), whereas the one this monitor's currently using is rated for 12V & 4A (48 watts), which is quite a bit lower (translation) : The only information I could find on the monitor itself was this (translation) : The connector looks like it has the same inner diameter and outer diameter as Vamo_Elysian's one: Any help with this would be much appreciated

ram 16GB RAM installed but only 11.1GB usable
FastByte17 posted a topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Hello everyone, I recently upgraded my RAM from 8GB to 16 GB (2x 8GB). The RAMs are detected correctly as 16GB but the problem is that the Task Manager displays only 11.1GB is usable. Is this normal? Is there a way to increase that? P.S: XMP is enabled in BIOS. Thank You -
Hello everyone. I've been recently trying to set up a samba server for home file sharing. I'm trying to create a share that my whole family can access and write to, even if the file or directory isn't owned by them. For some reason Samba is ignoring my config (unless I did something wrong) and it is creating new directories with a 0750 permission, meaning that only the creator of the directory can put files in it. Any help would be appreciated, below is my samba config.

Hello! I am a gamer like I am sure a lot of members of this forum are. I play games such as battlefield, league of legends, rainbow 6 siege. A couple of days ago we had our internet go out in our house, and ever since we have been having weird internet issues. All of the games I play have had ping/latency increase anywhere from 15-20ms. Also, when we run speed tests (tested on multiple devices), it is finding our default location (based off of ping) to be somewhere in Kansas. I am aware that some ISPs have locations in these areas and it could be what is causing this issue, but when I run a check on my location using our IP address, it gives us the correct location. Speed tests are not the only issue, where as the typical chat services I use are detecting my location to be in south/central US region (I am in Ohio). Also, when I ran a traceroute to my typical game server IPs with help from a rep at riot games, we found that my home connection was awesome; however, there were nodes causing extreme packet loss and high ping due to what we believe is improper routing/pathing/node selection(that sounds about what they were telling me). I contacted my service provider and of course they are only able to tell me that my devices is working fine since the speeds are fine. Obviously my device is fine. I have changed regions manually in certain tests and the results came back normal. I am not a networking expert, but for some reason in ALL of my games there seems to be an issue with the nodes/routes selected to reach the server, all going back to finding the incorrect location. Not sure why all of the sudden we are having these issues, but it is annoying to constantly find new ways in which this is messing my internet/gaming experience up in some way or another. My ISP is Time Warner Cable(Spectrum). I am not able to switch ISP. They have attempted to "reset my connection" and "refresh my modem's settings" among other things. None have helped. I have flushed DNS. I have cleared my host's cache. I do not have a VPN. Also, about any other response that I get has not led to a solution. The representative at Riot believes that this is on my ISP's end, but again I am no expert. I am not sure how cable internet works, but when attempting to rescue the internet after it went out, we found an ethernet cord coming from our modem/router and not connecting to anything. We were not sure if this was ever even connected to anything and it is highly unlikely that it became disconnected (since the way our cables are managed). We decided anyways to plug the cable into our cable box(the only similarly branded device with an ethernet port), and all of the sudden the internet began to work. We do not know if it is because of what we did, and we do not know if it was necessary or if it is causing our issues. When we have tried disconnecting the cable again and restarting the modem, we are incapable of getting internet access. Not sure if any of that last part is irrelevant, but I am attempting to provide as much info as possible. Hopefully someone can help me resolve my issue. Thanks!

I bought a new HX850i Corsair PSU and while awaiting for arrival I read about it, the key thing here is that the voltage input is 100-240v. Upon arriving and opening I checked all the cables and saw the mains cable, a UK kettle lead, says "250~ v". I'm wondering if this will be an issue, worries because I've heard a friend's PSU (not a HXi psu) had a capacitor or something else inside explode recently. If anyone could happily tell me to not use it and buy a 240v one, or just settle my fears, that would be great. For now I'm not using it but I will be cabling my PC.

Let me just preface this by saying, I've already typed a lot of this and my pinky hit a button causing this text box to be de-selected. I was hitting the backspace key as I did that. I now get to retype a good chunk of text. I hope you'll forgive me if at any point I come across as wanting to kill something, like perhaps murder a carrot. Edit: I found out after retyping what I had lost that there is save functionality. Goldurn. So, this story begins fairly recently. There was a Windows Update on Wednesday the 14th. I believe this is where my story starts, however this first issue may well have started Wednesday morning before the application of the update. Please be wary of this inconsistency. Issue #1 Anyhow, this first issue starts as such. Recently I have set my computer to hibernate instead of shutting down because it loads much faster. Normally this works beautifully. Recently it has instead resulted in a myriad of issues when I wake my computer. So, I turn my computer on and it supposedly loads from where it left off, which was having a couple of tabs open in Google Chrome. I start my day's browsing by opening up a series of new tabs to check my beloved webcomics of the day. If I recall correctly these tabs simply never did load. They hung indefinitely. During this period I also go to open Microsoft Outlook. So, I see Microsoft Outlook load and start downloading emails. I check them, and move on back to my browser to try and figure out why it's not working. Many refreshes later and looking in the networking center I find no reason why it shouldn't be working. Networking is saying that it is connected both to my dinky 100mbps switch and my 300 mbps wifi. Dafuq? Anyways, I exit Chrome at some point and notice that Outlook has stopped responding. I end the program. At some point I opened Internet Explorer and it never even did fully load the User Interface (UI). At this point I'm starting to think that my system may have been penetrated by something malicious. First thought and action? Open Avast Anti Virus. Again, the UI never fully loads. That scared me because it wasn't even a freaking browser. Next step? Run Malwarebytes. The UI loads. I click the "run scan" button. It wants to update the data base. I know it won't be able to connect so I just click the "Skip Update" button. It did not acknowledge that it was a button or that I was clicking it. It just hung there trying to update its database. Next step, restart the computer. At some point I believe I managed to get to speedtest.net with google chrome, speeds were abismal. 7 Mbps down, less than 700 Kbps up. Connectivity existed, just was barely functional. Internet should be 7 Megabytes (not bits) down and 1-2 Megabytes (not bits) up. Other devices were at proper speeds. Issue #2 Today I had the computer in hibernate last night, and went to turn it on. Similar internet connectivity issues. Wisened up and just restarted from the get-go. Issue #3 So recently I've been wanting to move my operating system over from my mechanical drive to my Corsair Neutron GTX ssd. The hard drive has more space, and was holding more data than the sdd had space. This means I've had to move stuff off of there. I started this a week and a half ago, originally just removing programs and moving files from places they had built up to my 3TB seagate external drive. I was using WindirStat to help me find the places with the most data. Originally it did not have any discrepancies with Windows Explorer. No differences in terms of space used were emerging. They were reporting the same thing whenever they were refreshed. So, I decided to continue making space today. This included moving 20 GB of music off of my (C;) drive to my Seagate drive. It was going swimmingly. Files were moving reasonably fast and WindirStat was making me proud by telling me that there was less and less data. I then at some point went into widows explorer and noticed that it was still around 240 GB used (it was slightly north of that, and it has moved by small amounts up and down throughout the day, just I don't know by how much and when). Needless to say, I was alarmed. Moving 40 GB of stuff made around 10 GB difference. (Or perhaps less again, amounts are unknown. I wasn't religious about this). I then went on to see if maybe I had mis-remembered the amount of data I had started with. I went on to move some movie content and delete old IOS apps on Itunes. According to Winderstat I had moved a significant amount of data. Again, Windows explorer begged to differ. Fudge nutters. Issue #3 In what may have been fatal foolishness I went and right clicked the (C:) drive and clicked properties from the right click menu. I then went to disk cleanup (at the bottom right of the pie chart). It told me with a straight and honest face, that it could clear away a whole 60 GB of temporary files. First thought? HALLELUJAH! I'VE FOUND THE SACRED BUTTON! Guess what? According to Windows Explorer it may have done jack all. I may have accidentally interrupted it (I totally did) when I went to go do the same thing at the same time to the SSD (F:). This may have been a bad idea. So, I went and opened up the menu again, and guess what? It takes a couple times to get it to open again. Wasn't working at first. Eventually it works. Guess what? It says it now has around 53 or 58 GB of space from temporary files it can delete. After a little bit of user error I managed to run it correctly again. Windows Explorer is still not saying that there is any difference in data. Fudge. I forget when, but at some point earlier today (morningish) I was made to restart the computer. It did not restart properly. It was a basic Windows XP looking menu about how it needed to fix an issue with Windows. It said it could not fix the issue automatically, but when I restarted it Windows booted nicely. I also had an issue at one point where it was saying that the built in disc defragmenter was not installed. I got a menu telling me to go to the control panel and click "install programs". No such menu was showing up at that point in time. Issue #4 Today Microsoft released another Windows 7 update. I updated. Now, this update does not seem to have affected the previous issue. In fact, I am at a point where Windirstat reports 120 GB even and Explorer is reporting twice that, give or take 3 GB depending on the last disk cleanup and any other stuff it does. So, I after this update, I've notices that windows does not want to load certain programs. Even if I go to the location of the EXE, and I click that one directly, it will spit out an error saying the file can't be found. I can not run Windirstat as Admin, only normally. I can't get DXtory to work either way. Some things in Explorer don't work, like trying to get to the Uninstall programs menu. The button can be clicked but I see no disk activity when I click it, or some other buttons. At this point the only reason I haven't nuked it is because I don't want to lose my beloved Winamp Pro. With the service that allows me to activate Winamp Pro being down, nuking this computer will make me lose it potentially forever. Please Help. SOS. Will smooch if you can fix.

Solved now, thanks guys! Hello! I am having issues with getting Windows to read the correct speed of my Ram. My Memory is supposed to be 2133MHz (Im fairly certain i set it correctly in the Bios, it at least shows me that i have it set to that, maybe there is something else to allow the OS to use it in the bios?) But Windows 10 is telling me the speed is only 1333MHz (from Task Manager and from "wmic memorychip get speed") My motherboard supports 2133 MHz memory Gigabyte Micro ATX DDR3 2133 NA Motherboard GA-F2A88XM-D3H https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AG8WKYO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 My Memory is 2133 MHz Corsair Vengeance Pro 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 2133 MHz https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D80PPM2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 My Google attempts have not been helpful this time around so I must call on a higher power! Please, help me Oh knowledgable ones!
