rustymarlin20 said:So apparently I'm some kind of Canadian... kinda funny. But hey, if that's what you want to believe, fine... Look, I'm young, I've got three different bank accounts, and basically everything I buy comes online. Sure, I grab the household stuff—cleaning supplies, booze, feminine products, Palmolive shampoo, whatever—at the local Walmart, but when I'm buying bulk computer parts and see a way to save serious cash, I take it. Haven't used them before, so I asked around. If all that matters to you, sorry, I can't help you. Arrogance is your choice, so since you've posted so much on this forum, you could have just taken the advice seriously and actually said thanks.
Nah, looks like you're either totally out of the loop or you just don't give a damn about protecting your rights. Or maybe you actually enjoy fighting through endless inspections and legal filings... who knows. And insulting someone who actually earned their moderator status on this subforum? That's just... how do I put this? Childish.
Look, if Kat Katic has access to that Facebook profile, she should just hit up a mutual friend of hers to get in touch. Try to settle things before they blow up... If that guy from the NBA team in Mexico just updates his email on his Facebook account to his actual one, the whole thing's fixed.
If you’re gaming today, an SSD isn't even a choice—it's a necessity. In a year or two, hard drives will basically be obsolete because they're just too slow. Besides, this one is a total steal...
If Kimberly Gomez34 put this together, take their word for it. They build gaming rigs every single day and know exactly what's worth buying right now.
Move this over to the Hardware subforum if you want to talk specs. You’ve got two choices: Wi-Fi or Ethernet. There isn't a third option. If you actually care about lag or ping, don't even bother with Wi-Fi... it's not going to work for gaming. Unless you're playing something slow like chess where every move takes forever, then I guess it doesn't matter what you're plugged into.
The setup would work, but online Electronic Arts wouldn't... the lag on Wi-Fi at that distance would kill you. You need a cable for gaming. Move the router if you have to.
Chrome.exe is usually just some background process hogging memory to keep things running smooth, you can kill it if you want. The other one is probably just an update checker looking for a new version. You can disable both, but honestly, don't...
Don't touch system interrupts under any circumstances. It's vital for Windows to actually function properly.
Here’s the link. Pick your OS and grab the driver. Just pull the PCI card out or hit up the Control Panel to scan for new hardware and install it from there.
James Thomas80 said:Got another headache; I'm working on a Dell's case, and it’s basically a vault. I've stripped every single screw and still nothing. I can pry the top open just a hair, but if I push any harder, the plastic's gonna snap... There's this plastic base on the bottom where everything is just slotted together. It won't budge unless I rip out all those side panels just to get inside...😵
I was messing with one recently, they use some kind of latch mechanism. Real pain to crack. Is yours built like that?
If it is, try holding that latch down (that little lever on the top edge) and just slowly slide the panel until it clicks loose. Don't force it... it should give way eventually...
Alright, try cutting the internet, nuking the WiFi adapter in Device Manager, rebooting, and then manually reinstalling it through Device Manager. Just make sure you actually have the driver installer sitting on the machine first...
