First - yes I support old stuff... not blades and the like, Racks of 2 and 4U servers, up to 16 of them in a set. A hardware IP KVM solution in new deployments answers all of my issues, my gap currently is that I want to equip each location I support with a low cost Dongle they can connect to any troubled server (say they blow up the BIOS settings and need help or the RAID controller needs configured or maybe a server is blue screening and we need to capture the stop data after windows crashes r...

I was setting up an LG LG 27MB85R-B 27" monitor at a desk and after I plugged in all of the cables and plugged the Mini-DP into my macbook. I tapped the touch sensitive power button and... nothing. I rechecked all of my cables to make sure I didn't miss anything but everything was right. At this point I don't know what's wrong! Help! Let's block ads! بخوانید...

I am using Samsung SSD 850 EVO 500 GB. Instead of installing a fresh copy of Windows 10 on it, an old image of the OS created from an old HHD was used I am worried this may affect the performance/age of the SSD. Which I understood is made to run on 4k bytes per sector. screenshots are on my laptop now after the migration to the ssd. Let's block ads! بخوانید...

yesterday, I updated my Windows 10 x64 Build 1607 installation, and after the updates were finished, I decided to manually reboot. That took me to a black screen with a set of white circles rotating at the lower end of the screen. This process didn't stop, so after 10 minutes or so I began googling on another computer, finding a possible solution: unplug any USB receivers, and when I tried this with the USB receiver of my Logitech M510 mouse, Windows booted immediately to my desktop. Unbelievabl...

I will go in vacation in a couple of days to the beach. I plan to leave my computer (a mid 2012 Mac) in the car, which will possibly be exposed to the sun. It will be exposed between 14:00 and 20:00 and during this time temperatures can get as high as 38 degrees Celsius (100 Fahrenheit). Will this be a problem? Will I risk to ruin the battey / computer? Which precautions can I take? For example, is it better to leave in the trunk or in the back seats? Should i tu it off? (usually I just close th...

I am considering buying a Nvidia GTX 960 to put in a Proliant DL320 G6. The Proliant has: Dual Redundant 400W power supplies 2x Full sized PCIe 2.0 x16 slots From What I have read Nivida says 120W Graphics Card Power 400W Recommended System Power With current Hardware ILO shows I don't go over 200W... Thus I should Have 80W to spare, Right? I also know this would fill one PCIe Slot, but fill both PCIe Spaces. I am also aware that this card is meant for PCIe 3.0, Thus even with PCIe backwards c...

This just isn't documented anywhere on the inteet. I know that cells in an SSD have a limited number of writes, but since ATA secure erase just 'resets', does it decrease the lifetime of the SSD? ...

My laptop fell on the ground and its screen cracked. Everything works perfectly except of course the broken screen. I ordered a new one already. My conce is that, because of these large dark areas, it may harm the powering system somehow... may cause some power leakage of some kind, or affect the screen cable or the screen socket. My question is that if I continue working with my laptop for a few days, will it harm my laptop in anyway? Let's block ads! بخوانید...

I recently built a new computer, using a Z170-a motherboard, Intel cpu and gtx 970 graphics card. I double and triple checked all the connections before power up. However, when I powered up the machine, it would not boot into bios. I tried several tips off the inteet, disconnecting and re-connecting all components (and powering down each time). However I still get the same result - no boot up. The DDR4 ram chips I used were 2 x 8gb ram (total 16gb), plugged into the correct sockets. I just can't...

Network references by domain name do not seem to use current user's credentials. I must provide the password every time. Is there any way to cause them to persist? NET USE P: \myhost.mycomp.orgarTeamdocs /USER:MYDOMAINme /PERSISTENT:YES ...

My computer is not connecting to the Inteet. And we have an Intranet website which requires Java applet. It is found that whenever I enter the Intranet website, the Java console states that it is trying to download "securitypack.jar" from the Inteet: network: Checking for update at: https://javadl-esd-secure.oracle.com/update/securitypack.jar May I ask what is this "securitypack.jar" for? Is there anyway to disable Java from downloading this "securitypack.jar", but still allow the conceed Java a...

I'm looking at moving to Windows System Image for my backups as I'm realising that just backing up user files is still going to leave me with days of installing and configuring in the event of a disaster. I've got three disks - my boot SSD (128GB), an application/working data drive (1TB) and a user data drive (2TB). The total amount of data on these drives is about 2.5TB. Currently I already have a bunch of 2TB exteal drives for backups and would obviously like to keep using them if possible. Fr...

I am looking to purchase a new Dell desktop but don't want to go through what I did last time. I need to have dual monitors. Will a Dell Inspiron 3650 or Inspiron 3656 support dual monitors? ...

I've got a column of text. If the text of the cell contains el I want it to retu "M" in the adjacent column. If the cell contains la instead, I want it to retu "F" in the adjacent column. Below is an image of what I mean, but what you see has been done manually. From the beginning I thought there might be a formula that could do this, but thought it might be faster to do just do it manually. In fact, this may, indeed, be true, but should I need to do something like this again in the future, an ...

Check out the Chriscam on livestream. https://livestream.com/accounts/20408219/events/5782272?t=1468022368949 I am adding a high definition camera as the source for an upgraded Chriscam but the audio pickup is too close to Chris' television and high powered audio speakers and need to input the audio from a source closer to him. Chris' computer is a windows Surface. Chris loves YouTube and especially country music which he listens too at the max volume we have set his speakers to output. The YouT...

Looking at the PC you posted, it seems like a standard ATX case. I can't say for sure though, because ASUS didn't give that information on their website. The GTX 1060 will fit in a standard ATX case, as it can be expected to be as big as the 1070/1080. If you want to use both your GPUs for Gaming at the same time, they have to be of the same type and support SLI - in other words, you will have to replace the 760. Let's block ads! بخوانید...

I have an Excel file that generates reports using VBA. A portion of that process copies data from 1 file to append into another then saves the destination file. The process works on many machines with varying combinations of Windows and Excel. It has now decided to stop working for 2 of my users. These 2 users recently received new desktop computers with 32 bit Windows 7, MS Office 2013 (15.0.4787.1002). For these 2 users, the VBA prompts with the "Do you want to Save the file?" message. When th...

The problem setting involves 4 devices: I have tried the usual uninstall everything and system restart including all system USB controller drivers. When I plug the Fulla into the Anker USB hub, the device is not recognized. When I plug it directly into the Das Keyboard or the X1 Carbon laptop, the Schiit Fulla USB 2.0 DAC amp works. This leads me to believe that the Anker USB hub is the problem. However, the Das Keyboard is plugged into 2 ports in the Anker USB hub. So I tried to connect the Sch...
