    HP "gaming" desktop won't boot (Windows 10)

    My 11 year old nephew said he was trying to log in but it said the credentials were wrong then next thing you know it reboots and tries to auto repair. The automatic system repair always fails and we get brought back to advanced options menu. Tried lots of things from the web not to no avail. I...

    Mapping Keys That Don't Exist

    Is it possible to ghost map keys into software without them being physically present? Currently I have a full size keyboard but may go the compact route. However I have numpad keys mapped to my Logitech gameboard and I don't want to lose those binds. Maybe I can use software that emulates...

    Audio Port Suddenly Stopped Working [SOLVED!]

    Thanks. Yeah I think the RealTek drivers got borked after a Windows update. At least I know what to do in the future now.

    Audio Port Suddenly Stopped Working [SOLVED!]

    Well, it was software! I found a newer version of Realtek. Following a YouTube video's instructions I nuked the old RealTek folder after uninstalling the software. I then rebooted, reinstalled the newer version, rebooted again. And now the ports work and Realtek HD Audio Manager is even working...

    Audio Port Suddenly Stopped Working [SOLVED!]

    The rear one's work I should've mentioned. The front output went out first, then the input went out later. I really need the front ones to work because I don't have easy access to the back. Any ideas on Realtek HD Audio Manager missing?

    Audio Port Suddenly Stopped Working [SOLVED!]

    I noticed yesterday that plugged into my case's front audio output port were no longer being detected, the system is still using my monitors built in stereos. At first my headphone jacks weren't fitting in snuggly, so I figured dust may be inside. I cleaned it out with an air compressor can and...

    Wifi Weak on 1 Computer

    If you use a wifi adapter with an external antenna, then its going to be the same. The one I have now gets all 5 bars much of the time. The problem is our house internet itself is not the most stable. My iphone has access to high speed 4G, that's why it's better for gaming. I got the chip free...

    Wifi Weak on 1 Computer

    Oh you are right, I don't know why I thought it was obstructed, its not. But honestly I think I am now getting the same performance as the laptop (actually upload is better), our wifi internet is the bottleneck. Its still too unstable for video games, but I tether my iphone while playing them...

    Wifi Weak on 1 Computer

    Good news I bought a wifi adapter with a big fat antenna and I get the same speeds now as other devices and full bars. I suffered for so long for no reason, guess I got used to my iphone tethering. Now I know, if you aren't in the same room as router, make sure it has an external antenna.

    My PCI-E slot is covered by my graphics card :(. A dongle with an external antenna is my best bet.

    Wifi Weak on 1 Computer

    There is no branding on it but the computer reads it as a Realtek. I ordered one with an antenna, I think that's going to make a difference.

    Wifi Weak on 1 Computer

    Speed test results on my Desktop yields only 4 - 8 Mbps while I get 34 Mbps on my phone (if I connect to the same wifi network) and the downstairs laptop gets 15 - 34 as well. The signal strength is missing one bar on this PC as well. I have a Realtek RTL8188ETV Wireless LAN 802.11n, it's a...

    Solved (SOLVED) External audio outputs don't work anymore...

    For the first few weeks on my new comp, I have been able to use external speakers / head phones without a hitch but now they just plain don't work. I plug something into the computer front panel output jack, and nada, Windows still uses my monitors (low end) speakers. I can hear the associated...
