Who can help me troubleshoot a PSU? I thought mine died yesterday because my PC wouldn't turn on. No fans, no LEDs, nothing. I took the PSU out of the case and shorted pins 15 & 16 on the 24 pin connector to trigger it to turn on and the fan spun up. I took my multimeter and started to test the voltages on each pin and found the 3.3V, 5V, and +/- 12V outputs all seemed fine, but some pins didn't have any voltages at all. I can't find the manual with the pin diagram to know whether this is normal or not. It's an Enermax Liberty ELT500AWT

Quality control on the Enermax Liberty models wasn't even that great when they were new. Time to replace it.

Hi thread. I'm building a house and want to have Ethernet drops everywhere I have a cable drop, and want an Ethernet patch panel in one of the closets.
Thanks in advance for any advice. Edit: Formatting. Ynglaur fucked around with this message at 16:22 on Oct 25, 2015 |

If the electrician is properly licensed, they will have a low voltage license, which means they should know how to set up any keystone jacks. Most electricians will pull your wiring and tag it for you without hooking it up. However, call your local building inspector and find out if there are laws in your specific area. I know my area is too dumb to know what cat cabling is. There are a lot of ways to gently caress up communicating with the builder. Staying on point and going to your house frequently (especially with pulling any communication cable) to make sure they're doing it right. I know a guy who was building a house and the builder kept getting what he was saying wrong (He was running phone and cat5 together, but having it terminate at different places, but the builder kept putting them in the same spot). Cat6e should futureproof your house for quite a while.

I know my area is too dumb to know what cat cabling is. Thank you! I had thought that it was a separate certification, but its good to know a licensed electrician should have it. What do you mean by they will pull the wiring and tag it but not hook it up? Do you mean they won't terminate the Cat6e connection into a wall jack? I'm planning to put Ethernet jacks in the same location any cable port comes out, so that should keep things simpler. Basically, my plan is to eventually drop cable and landline phone and just go with 150Mbps internet via cable modem, and push Netflix, etc. to TVs via Ethernet. Wireless is great, but with 3 kids growing up the spectrum is going to get crowded, especially with neighbors.

If they have the low voltage license they should do it without a problem. Some electricians simply don't screw with it at all, at least in my experience, but they will pull cable. Talk to your electrician (or the electrician the contractor is using) to see if they'll pull, terminate, and tag cat6 cabling.

Quick clarification: there is no such thing as Cat6E, that was a fake standard a bunch of cable manufacturers made up hoping it would turn into a thing. You're looking for Cat6A, where the A stands for Augmented. Though Cat6 (no letters) should be good for up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 55m. Cat7 is shielded so good for applications where you have radio frequency noise or need a mechanically stronger cable.

When I was doing residential wiring we ran the cat cables (Cat5e I think?) to the locations and installed the mounts for the ethernet jacks, but we didn't actually finish them, there were separate low voltage guys to handle that. That seems like the minimum, there're enough concerns about routing that I wouldn't want to have to figure out how to run data after the fact with the power lines all nailed up.

I'm just looking for the builder to wire the house, and have everything terminate at a single patch panel. ill take care of the router, wireless access points, etc. Theoretically the patch panel and router could be in a different location than the cable modem.

I'm on the process of leaving my country for another European destination, but I never made a move this big and I got a big rear end desktop computer; what are some general concerns should I have? Do I unmount everything, shrink wrap everything and just use MRW or what?

Are you shipping the desktop via car/truck? If so I'd at least make sure that any harddrives were locked in place, and I'd remove any really big cards such as GPUs and ship them separately. If you have a large aftermarket CPU cooler you should remove it before shipping. If this is a commercial shipping company you're using, I'd remove anything I could and ship them separately. Drives, cards, coolers, etc., take it all out of the box and ship it separately with antistatic bags and padding.

Anyone got a recommendation on a USB 3.0 ethernet/usb hub combo device? I just got a Surface 3 with W10 on it and would look to hook it up sometimes and have the option to plug lots of things into it if need be.

Is there a way I can get my GTX 970-equipped Windows 10 pc to switch playback device from my computer speakers to my tv when switching inputs? The monitor is hooked up via a DVI cable and I have a HDMI cable that connects to my HDTV.

In Windows (7 in this case, since the machine doesn't have NX bit), is it possible to have 3 monitors, and for two of them to be mirrored and the third one is extended? Monitors A, B, and C. Monitor A has its own display. Monitor B extends monitor A. Monitor C is a mirror of monitor B. Is this possible without relying on third-party software?

Should be able to tell Windows 7 and later which displays to duplicate and extend to no problem the way you're describing it

I have been able to do this on a past computer, using just the built in display controls. It's been several years though so I can't describe which precise things you need to do, but it did it with just the standard video card drivers and the control panel.

I don't know that just any computer can do it, but I have a couple of users on consumer grade Toshiba laptops with Toshiba USB3 docking stations (i.e. two video devices and three screens available) and one of them routinely duplicates her laptop's small-ish screen to her 23" 1080 screen, with a third screen in the mix. If your setup isn't going to get plugged in and unplugged regularly I'm sure something like that can be set up to persist, strangely we've got three of them and only one gives us problems, but that user has lots of stuff open every time she needs to disconnect and take the laptop away. I use a home desktop (Win7) with a discrete video card and support for on-board graphics with two screens, one into each adapter. It's doable to use both, but certain things hate moving between video adapters like Windows Media Player, which crashes. Netflix windows will hesitate when moving from one screen to the other, Youtube seems to have a slight micro-stutter right as its moved, but nothing like the multi-second pause Netflix needs.

If you have the box the case came in, and styrofoam, awesome, you are mostly-okay. But movers don't give a poo poo, and your system will get tossed around.

Had to replace the board as the heatsink flexed the socket out of working shape, and the door on the case had to be removed completely as it was cracked and twisted up. Assuming any service like that that isn't a dedicated moving service is going to drop or toss your shipment so pack accordingly.

I have a new gtx 970 that won't work, no video output or anything. When I turn on the computer the fans on the graphics card start and stop, start and stop, over and over. I have a power cable going from the VGA 1 slot on my PSU (evga gold 550w GS) which splits into two 6-pin connectors which I plug into the video card. In that same configuration an old ATI 4850 that takes a single 6-pin connector works fine. I've also tried another power cord from the VGA 2 connector, and I've tried one 6-pin from each. So is there any chance in hell it could be anything to do with the PSU, or is this definitely a dead graphics card? Mother board is ASRock H170M-ITX with a 6600k. Something else pertinent occurred to me, the onboard video works when the 970 is plugged in, which I am assuming shouldn't happen? With the same PSU, this does the same thing on an older motherboard I have. edit: PSU is brand new as well.

If the card doesn't work when you reseat it in the slot (or try another PCI-E slot) then it's probably a DOA card. That PSU should be fine for a 970.

What model GTX 970? Looking around at a few different cards I would expect two power connectors on it and at least one of them to be an 8-pin.

Okay, fair enough - there have been a few people recently looking at their card and seeing two connectors, reading the manual that says connect power cables to both connectors and still not doing it  As you get the same issues with a different motherboard I would agree with Rexxed that it is DOA - it happens, it sucks, time to RMA it

I ended up buying a new motherboard and cpu etc and I had to RMA the new motherboard too. Just got the working motherboard today and tried the video card and...yeah. Sucks. Anyway, thanks guys.

It's quiet as a mouse during reads or writes, but it spazzes out during idle and makes constant scratchy noises like a dirty fan. Do I need to return it, or fix a setting? e: Fixed, the case's 2.5" toolless drive holder had a retainer clip that was pressing down on the lid of the drive that says "do not press". Nice.

I have a couple Cisco 3500 switches. For whatever reason, I cannot create any VLANs. Its driving me nuts trying to figure out why and I havent had any luck googling it. So I go into global config mode, enter the command: vlan 10 And I get back a invalid input detected message. I know for a fact that is how you create a vlan. Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong or if there is some setting I have to change to do this? These are used switches, and did have configurations already from the previous owner that I wiped. The weird thing is I can go to a specific switch port and assign it to a vlan, thus actually creating the vlan. I dont know whats going on....

Not sure if this is the right place.... I wish to play League of Legends. My flatmates wish to download videos (and whatever else, 24/7). This causes my gaming ping to rise to 300 from 30. Can I resolve this issue with a router with QoS? Any recommendations? Just tested my connection as 3.39Mbps down and 1.47Mbps up. I'm in Australia.

Because I believe 3 megs down isn't even considered fast enough to watch HD Netflix let alone have an online game running on the same connection at the same time. Like others have said, QoS isn't going to help you much in this case. Upgrading your connection is the best bet.
