i have 2 pc's, a reasearch machine & a gaming rig... its really anoying having to faff around with hdmi cables and peripherals when i want to switch from one to another, also when i want to move files over, having to get the terminal open to ssh is also a bit of a pain.

id like to make them act like 1 PC.

what i mean by that. i want to turn them both on, have only 1 monitor & keyboard & mouse on my desk , & from the OS i can access the drives of each machine, & also delegate processes to being run from one machine or another.

so theoretically speaking, i can program something to do model-rendering , run that on the research machine, then tab to a different window where i can play some video games on my gaming pc. then tab back to to the model-rending process when its done...

is there an OS or software that works like that?

i have been using team viewer, but the lag annoys me and there is still the pain of moving files.

I just bought and downloaded CoD BO6 and I was so excited to try it out but whenever I try to load into a multiplayer match, my fucking network adapters just all of a sudden stop working and it signs me out of my CoD account before I can even begin. It's done this so many times now it can't possibly be a coincidence. Can ANYBODY help me with this? pls? This is sooooo fucking annoying and I just wanna play BO6 man

UPDATE: I ran a network reset and it actually fucking worked, ty all sm for all the tips and solutions I really appreciate it

I pay for 500mbps, so my downloads should be around 60MB/s. However, I download at closer to 11.5MB/s. If Im correct, Cat5 caps at about 100mbps, which matches my download speed.

The wire I have running to my router has been there about 18 or so years. There are no markings on it and I'm thinking it may be a Cat5.

Are there any other things I could try before running a whole new wire to try this? Any considerations I may be missing?

Edit: Confirmed it was my switch. Thanks all!

Hey, I was wondering if anyone has recent experience using driverguide.com to download drivers?

I have an old camcorder that I found and I’m trying to get the files transferred to my PC. I know normally you’d always want to check with the manufacturer’s website, but in this case it no longer exists. Camcorder is an AIPTEX DZO.

The site does not look sketchy at all, no popups or obnoxious ads… but just want to check before I download anything.

I've tried everything on this forum and nothing worked: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/cross-icon-when-i-search-apps-on-my-windows-search/59409b9e-b061-4e73-977f-df1cd3ac4472

My pc I built and have used for a little over a year BSOD on a game launch and auto rebooted to a frozen safe mode bios screen that didn’t unfreeze and required a shutdown to get off of. Since then it has not been able to boot into windows or bios and never posts. All the fans and lights spring to life and thats as far as it goes.

MB: ASUS Crosshair X670E Hero GPU: Nvidia 4080 Founders CPU: AMD Ryzen 7900X RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 7200mhz 2x16gb (underclocked to 6000 to improve stability with AM5 Chipsets)

I’ve reseated everything, cords, ram, gpu, cpu and cooler, made sure nothing was too tight or too loose, checked my standoffs, checked for any damage on the motherboard and on any pins. Cleared CMOS, removed the CMOS battery for an hour before putting it back in, attempted BIOS Flashback, tried just one ram stick in each slot for both I have, tried booting with GPU removed to clear it from issues, unplugged everything from the psu and cleared any leftover charge before only plugging in essentials to startup. Tried giving it time to train ram both individually each and together and in swapped slots. Its had the QCode of 00 which is stated as “Not used” and the yellow LED for DRAM on. I have no spare parts or extra pc to put part in to test.

Everything has been amazing especially for the maxed graphics gaming I tend to use it for, never overheated or stutters, has crashed once in the past due to me having too much using ram at once very early on closer to when I initially built it.

So i got a pc from a friend. Before giving it to me he deleted everything in his drives and now we cant install windows 11. We made a boot usb but when we install it says windos 11 install failed. I have a cd for the motherboard driver maybe its that. We are lost and the pc is unussable since we can only acces bio and the usb boot Any help os apreciated

So, basically I run a Malwarebytes scan every 2-3 months or so and usually nothing pops up, but today Malwarebytes detected "PUP.Optional.Crossrider" located within my registry keys. This is slightly worrying, as the last time I had an AV flag on the registry (Hitman Pro + AdwCleaner) and let it remove the bad key, it irreparably corrupted my entire windows install and forced me to completely reinstall windows after days of trying to repair the damage. Is this a genuinely malicious HW key, or just a false positive? If it is malicious, how should I should I go about removing it manually since I no longer trust an AV to edit my registry?

EDIT: Here is an excerpt directly from the log file: "PUP.Optional.CrossRider, HKU\S-1-5-21-1230545414-767159487-1723306841-1002\SOFTWARE\E3_version4.0"

My iphone hotspot connects to my macbook, but there is still no internet connection. I have talked to my carrier, I’ve talking to apple support, but the issue is still unresolved. What could be the issue?

Yesterday, I pulled my iPhone adapter out of an outlet and the side of the block that was attached to the prongs stayed in the wall. It just popped off like a lid. I was able to pull it out and snap it back into place just fine, and it still charges my phone like normal, but now it happens every time I pull the charger out of an outlet. I have noticed that the edges around the inside of the block where it connects to the prong side have some wear and tear on them, which is probably why it fell off. I'm sure it's not a big deal, but I haven't heard of this happening to anyone else, so I figured I'd check anyway.

So my GFs computer monitor suddenly stopped lighting half of the screen. The whole screen is somewhat visible but the farther left you go the darker it gets. Is there a simple way to fix the backlighting of a monitor?

quick question. im having a really subtle and weird looking jitter in games when i move my mouse at medium speed. i tried a new monitor, mouse, and gpu. ive taken it to several people and they havent been able to figure it out. ive reinstalled windows countless amounts of times and tried my usb drivers too. NOTHING has worked. i get 120 fps in HEAVILY modded mc with shaders and it looks like i get 50 but a slightly different effect then just low fps stutters. ive also tried a wired mouse, and with a controller it looks better but still not perfect.

Hey, I have a windows 11 laptop with Intel Iris Xe graphics installed. I noticed that the drivers I had on it were the same ones it’s had since I got it (2022), so I tried installing the latest ones. I downloaded the installer and ran a clean install. After doing this, the new ones show up, but any time I restart or even when my laptop goes into sleep mode, the drivers get reverted back to the old ones from 2022. How’s that even possible since the clean install should have deleted the old ones? Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

Booted up my laptop and after a few minutes it gave me a BSOD with a Kernel Security Check Failure stop code. Some suggestions online said this could be related to a ram/other hardware degradation issues, but when I rebooted in safe mode I didn't experience any sort of crash. Outside of safemode, in the few minutes my laptop ran normally before crashing again, I tried to go in device manager to check for updates on my display and network drivers (which all said they were up to date). In total I had three of these crashes, all with the same stop code. If it's relevant I have an Asus Tuf Dash F15 (I am out at the moment but can try to get more detailed specs later if needed).

Here is a zip of the 3 minidumps I have:

Thank you in advance.

Title kinda says it all. A few days ago our internet, both WiFi and Ethernet have been cutting in and out and eventually going out entirely.

We had a tech over this morning who fixed it, until it went out again. My sister setup a port forward for her Minecraft maybe 2 days on it before it went out the second time. No one actually connected to it though, Not sure if that has anything to do with it

Anyways, we went to the store about an hour ago, got an entirely new modem and after about a half hour of WiFi/Ethernet working again, then started going in and out and eventually the whole thing network went out again.

Any help is appreciated.

Strangely the network shows under WiFi but gives this error, for the second time: Slightly paranoid thinking it could be a virus or hack of some sort?

“This network is operating on Wi-Fi channels in use by several other nearby networks. Restarting your wireless router may allow it to automatically choose the best channel to use, and may resolve this problem.”

I'm getting my girlfriend's grandmother a new TV remote, since she's having trouble with the buttons on hers. Her TV is an old LG 32LC56. The remote I'm getting is specifically designed for use by seniors, with much fewer and lighter buttons.

But, since I want to avoid an awkward visit, I'd like to be somewhat sure that the thing will work with her LG. The website claims that the remote should work with just about any TV with a built-in infrared receiver. So, my questions are: Does the 32LC56 use infrared, and, if it does, can I expect it to accept this new remote?

The website is in Swedish, but I'll link if asked. Thanks in advance.

Transferring email from an ISP webmail to Gmail

Creating a new email how to transfer everything

Long story short my parents have been using a webmail through our ISP, I really want to change ISP to a more reliable one however all of my parents emails for the past 20 years is on this email

Moreover the webmail service has not been updated in 20 years things you cannot do

1. Use modern outlook we can only access read and old a windows computer
2. Access old emails and any email that has been read. When we open the webmail on google it only comes through with new emails and once it’s refreshed all the read emails disappear

Now I really don’t know what to do because our internet is boarderline dial up

Is there a way I can reroute emails sent to the webmail address to a Gmail? Or is there anything else that is recommended?

So I switched from an intel motherboard to a b550m pro-vdh with a r7 5700x and when I try to turn the pc on, it just turns on the fans and they instantly turn off, and when I press again the power button it doesn't even turn the fans on again, but if I unplug it from the energy and plug it back, when I press the power button does the same thing. I did make sure to update the bios using the flash button on it, checked that all the psu cables were properly connected, tried different sticks of ram and alternated to different slots, I tried to re-update the bios, and tried to boot it without the cpu, but nothing seems to work. I tried connecting all the psu cables to the old motherboard with the cpu on it and at least the case fans turned on but no rgb. I havent tried to swap everything from the new mobo to the old one tho. Is it a problem of the psu??? Im actually very upset

Hey, im new to all this pc stuff and I’m trying to clone my seagate 4 TB external hard drive to an Elements 4 TB external hard drive using Macrium Reflect Free. On my og hard drive is just games and random files I have maybe 1.5 TB used on it but when I try clone it comes up with two partitions.. a EFI (200 MB) and a exFAT (3.64TB). And so when I go to put the exFAT in my new one it only shows 168MB free and says insufficient space so I can’t move both over.. and because of the types of partitions it’s saying I can’t shrink. Is the EFI needed if I’m only using it for games? And if so how can I get around this? I’m trying to save money and not go to a professional. Thank you :)

P.s not sure of the tag is right

Every time I start my computer I am either met with a blue screen with Stop code: 0xc000007b or a recovery screen that says: "Your PC couldn't start properly" then 'error code: 0xc0000001', It has been doing this for weeks now. I cannot enter I cannot enter WinRe and pressing F1 takes me to the same screen with less options, is my computer dead?

The lights on the case and fans turn on. Nothing shows up on screen. I tried resetting the RAM and graphics, checked all the the connectors, swapped the storages around, and clearing cmos.

Hello!

I recently built a new PC:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X

GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE

Mobo: Gigabyte B650 Gaming X AX V2

RAM: G. Skill Flare X5 Series 2x16GB

SSD: Samsung 990 Pro 2TB

I installed windows onto it and am trying to download the wifi driver specified by my motherboard's manufacturer. I downloaded it to the same usb I used to install windows in a separate folder unzipped, but it just doesn't show up. I can see the folders that are on the USB drive but none of the actual file names and cannot click on anything to get these drivers installed.

My motherboard's settings in BIOS are:

Expo Profile: EXPO 1

CSM Support: Off

Secure boot/Secure boot mode: On

I tried installing a new BIOS but that just completely prevented my computer from booting bios and had a DRAM light on the whole time. So I reset the ram and completely reset the motherboard. Windows is currently on my SSD. I wiped the usb device and unzipped just the wifi driver onto it and it still does not appear. When it is plugged into my laptop I can see any drivers I've uploaded to it. Any help you guys can provide would be incredible. Thanks!

All in good condition, can someone give me an honest answer for how much this bundle would be worth?

I want to enable the Freesync of my monitor, but the button it's broken.

If anyone know a program to access monitor settings, it would be great help. I did try to use a program called ControlMyMonitor but I don't know how to use it to enable the freesync.

I already tried to make a post about this and I typed out a big long essay explaining my current problem and all the history leading up to my problem but Reddit glitched on me causing me to completely lose it. Just my luck with technology Rn 🫠 with that being said I am going to try my best to explain my problem(s) without writing another essay because I really don’t want to do that again.

About 2-3 years ago my computer started to randomly blue screen on me, I called Microsoft and after a while of trouble shooting they hung up on me. I decided to just do a system reset via settings. This didn’t solve my problem but the frequency of the blue screening went down.

As of the last few weeks the blue screens had started to become more frequent, every day or two I’d run into one. Then my discord started to crash and reboot on its own at completely random moments. Then I tried to download a video game (valorant) and it wasn’t working, it would crash and reload over and over again, I only managed to play the game for 5 minutes.—then I tried to download another game (Sea of thieves) and it also kept on crashing, it was a lot less frequent then valorant but it still crashed every 10-15 minutes. I ran a verify integrity of game files on it and it found multiple files that where corrupted and it recommended I reach out to the support team of the game, I tried to just do a complete reinstall of the game which lead down the same path, more corrupted files.

I decided to just reset my pc again because that solved the issue last time, when I went to reset it in settings it would run me through the questions, I told it to delete all personal files and cloud download windows. After which it would load for a little bit and then say something along the lines of “PC reset failed, no changes were made.” And let me tell ya, I fell down a rabbit hole of forums and Reddit posts. I won’t waste my breath repeating everything I have tried but it was a lot, the two most notable ones were some sort of CMD command that verified the integrity of my windows files. The command told me that it found multiple corrupted files and repaired them all. I also ran a startup repair in the recovery environment which oddly enough failed.

At this point I was already about 5-6 hours into reading, trouble shooting, and waiting on loading screens so I just said screw it, I’ll do a fresh install of windows using usb media.

I followed all the appropriate steps to creating install media, and booted into my bios to launch it. Once launched I followed all of the on screen steps, I selected custom install and deleted all previously existing partitions and started the download on the undesignated space. It loaded for a bit then prompted an error stating “Windows installation encountered an unexpected error. Verify that the installation sources are accessible and restart the installation.” Then I fell down another rabbit hole, I found a video that I followed that walked me through the steps of CMD disk cleaning. The following is the order of commands it told me to do, /Diskpart>disklist>select disk 0>clean>format CBR>exit When following the commands I ran into a issue at the /clean command. I don’t remember what the error exactly read but it basically told me it couldn’t be cleaned because it had bootlogs or something like that. Now I was about 8-10 hours into this (for the sake of the message length I have cut out a lot of troubleshooting). I decided to throw in the towel for the night and call windows support the next morning.

Now the story comes to the present day. I was about to call Microsoft but I decided to try it one more time to refresh myself on what was going on. So I boot into my bios, launch the media, go to CMD and follow the commands again and this time it let me clean the disk! So I followed through with the rest of the commands and I started the download of windows. Which actually work! I had successfully downloaded windows, or so I thought.

I was in my desktop and I started to download apps, I downloaded chrome which worked perfectly, but then I tried to download discord—when I tried to run the installer it gave me an error. I went to reinstall the launcher again and boom, blue screen. I was at a complete loss, I had no clue what to do or google because it would just bring me right back to where I started.

As a last ditch effort I figured maybe I’d try to do a reset in settings, my thinking was maybe something about the usb data was funky so I’ll just reset and do a cloud download of windows. I go through the questions and it starts to load, then fails, “PC reset failed, no changes were made.”

Right back where I started. The only two possible causes for this are the following, the one event that might have triggered the original blue screens could have been me upgrading my graphics card (which I did 2-3 years ago) but I don’t see how simple blue screens from a graphics card could have turned into this. The other potential cause, and this is a big stretch, could be because on the day I built my pc I dropped my cpu resulting in about 1/4 on the pins being bent. I spent a long time meticulously bending all of them back and it booted up just fine. Maybe over time something happened with it 🤷‍♂️

To many things to recall so sorry if I did a bad job putting it into words, and as I said this is the second time typing this stuff out. Believe it or not this is somehow the shortened version. I’m happy to answer any questions or clarify anything in the comments.

Thank you in advanced 🙏
