I can't manage to extend my wifi.
I have:

Internet -> Modem/router (connected with wifi and ethernet to other pcs) -> router (connected with ethernet to other pcs but wifi doesn't work).

I can't fucking isolate the problem. The second router is completely transparent. Bridge mode, no nat, no firewall, no upnp, dhcp disabled.

First router is 192.168.1.1 and gives ips in the 192.168.1.100-200 range, the second router is 192.168.1.2. Subnet mask is the same for both of course.

There is connectivity on the second router, but not over wifi. Tried with same SSID, with different SSID, with either different channels or autoscan. I tried to lower the signal a bit so that they would not overlap at all in some areas of my home. I don't use wps.

It doesn't work and I can't get why. Wifi devices are assigned an ip and the wifi signal seems to be optimal, but nothing loads.

You're my last resort, /g/.
Or I'm buying a new one, it might as well just be broken.

KVM also has USB pass-through, but if you just want to do a dd, why not directly from your OS? Or if you don't use a Linux system, try booting from a live CD/DVD/USB. Note that dcfldd is much more accurate and forensically sound, and can display status in a verbose way.

Hey guys i'm trying to get a new graphics card. I had an r9 270x but my roommates dog bit into it.

I'm in between these two ones: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?CompareItemList=-1%7C14-127-884%5E14-127-884%2C14-202-166%5E14-202-166

I was basically wondering if the 50 dollars more would really be worth it? the stream processors are different on the two but i have no idea what the difference is at all. Im just trying to play free games and trying to be able to play AAA titles if i want to but im not trying to make sure its ultra settings all the times.

Thanks. Sorry for weird post.

Recently had my laptop stolen, so I'm in the market for a new computer. Unfortunately this has come at a time when I am poorer than I've ever been, due to studying full-time and trying to pay for all of my living costs on a part-time job. So I want a good quality computer for cheap.

What do you guys think about this, or the similar ones on Amazon?

Built a new PC but kept the hard drive the same as my last built, pretty much everything has changed except for the drive I use to boot Windows. I'm getting this BSOD which is apparently HDD related.

Is it not good practice to use the same hard drive in a different build or is there some other issue I should be looking for here?

You can't just throw in a harddrive from 1 build and then boot from it on another. You need to format it to use it as a new boot drive.

I'll use my build as an example. I had this problem using a laptop HDD in a desktop years ago. I found an easy fix. If you were using 8.1 Windows can automatically adjust for this problem (not important, just saying this was fixed)

I'm sure you're familiar with device manager. The drivers for your CPU (pic) are preventing you from booting Windows. You need to get into Windows, right click uninstall all displayed, shutdown and startup in the new build.

The new proper drivers initialized. The only way I know you can get into Windows is through the old build, I'm not sure how you could do it now. Maybe safe mode? But you know what needs to be done

I think my motherboard is fucked, /g/. The RAM slots are acting weird. It's a Gigabyte GA-Z97X-SOC, and when I turn the machine on, I get a continuous beeping until the machine decides to reset and begin the process anew. This happened about a year ago and I was completely lost, so I called their tech support and it was apparently RAM-related. It's happening again.

The machine only fully POSTs and boots when a single stick is in either slot 2 or 3, having two sticks in 0/2 or 1/3, or having a single stick in either 0 or 1 causes the continuous beeping. I've tried two different sets of memory and it's the same thing. Do I need to RMA the board? This would be the second time in two years.

I take it that's just for the monitor? Could've sworn $130-$150 gets you a decent one. Hell, my brother has an Asus monitor that has yet to fail him. Looking on getting the exact same one. Right now I'm trying to wonder if 16GB of memory is worth it. Current laptop has 8GB but due to hoarding tabs on Firefox it tends to take up 1-3GB of memory for days before crashing.

Also, why the hell is Windows 7 more expensive then 10? Tempted to save money with an ISO but I rather not get nagged with a "this Windows is not genuine" message.

And just to be sure, its more stable to have two 1TB HDDs then a single 2TB HDD, right? Provided whichever case I choose comes with the bays and cables.

My Asus Q400a recently bricked after only 2 years of use. The power jack shorted. I bought a new jack and tried soldering it on to the motherboard, but I must have burned something, because the laptop still won't charge. A used motherboard on ebay is like $130, and the model has a history of faulty powerjacks, so I'm going to just buy a new laptop.

what should I do with this laptop now? It's got 8GB of ram and an i7. Should I sell it, or use it for parts? All I used it for was coding simple shit and browsing the web.

>I havent bought a monitor in 5 years, my brother got one last year, it was an asus it was a 1080p 144mhz for somewhere around that.
144mhz? Sounds like a gaming screen. Looking for a general one. 60mhz. True, I have games but the bigger issues are graphics and space for me.
>With current ddr3/4 prices its waste not to get 16gb.
Thought DDR4 was negligible or redundant unless you're doing heavy-duty video editing. I'll keep hunting for reliable and affordable DDR3 16GB memory. For some reason Logical Increments only lists DDR4 for that size, and at much higher tiers.
>I havent used windows since xp, and even then i pirated it. Im sure there is some way to fake genuine it as it has been with every copy ever.
I'll look into that. I already have the ISO (a leftover from a trade school) so that's a last resort if I'm not willing to drop $140.
>>52374527
>Do you want to handle splitting things across two disks?
Getting sick of externals and space always seems to be a premium with me (can't bear to delete stuff I think I'll never find again), so that might be why I up and said that.
>Your motherboard will come with cables
And I hope the case comes with those hook things for extra HDDs. Brother has a spare 5'' HDD lying around because his case doesn't have the proper stuff to keep it aligned in its bay. Think he should've done more research on that but its something I intend to learn from.

So, my VGA started acting really strangely, the "Nvidia Driver has stopped working" is happening all the time (and I did the little registry fix everyone talks about) but most of the time everything just freezes for some seconds and when it comes back, there's some static on the screen.

My home computer VGA is pretty old, a 9600GT, so I don't ignore the hardware problem possibility, but I suspect (and I'm by no means an expert, obviously) that it can be a problem with the last updates, since I heard 9600GT stopped being supported by recent drivers, yet it install new updates all the time.

Is there a way to know the best driver version for my VGA? Or it will probably not work?

32GB would be the lowest amount I would recommend,

64GB is enough for basic use.

120GB is ideal for dual/boot and/or every application other than specific/very heavy software that would justify a 240GB SSD.

I've had this problem off and on for the last few months (and the first time I had the problem, I tried the mouse on another computer and still had the same issue) and so I'd like to get it replaced while it's still under warranty in case this happens again since it is only under warranty for another couple months. Will they process the rma anyway? Google seems to indicate that it is a common issue with these mice.

TL;DR It was honestly giving me issues and now that I'm sending it in, it seems to have stopped. Will I get it fixed / replaced anyway?

>runs at 4.6GHz with the 970 easily
>motherboard dies
>get a Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3
>if I try to touch the multiplier, it struggles to boot
>restarts a few times before it actually boots

It's fucking weird and pretty annoying. Any ideas? I've tried all kinds of voltages on the CPU and I haven't overclocked the HT link or the northbridge.

I use rssowl, java based so works fine across multiple platforms, decent filtering (deletion, sorting, etc of rss articles) and doesn't perform too much like shit.

but when you say you want to use it for anime, in what sense? Many torrent clients have a rss reader built in that allows you to autoDL torrents from rss feeds, is that what you want or do you just want to be notified.

Personally I use rss feeds for just about everything to avoid actually going on sites since more often than not I only care about a subset of their information. Saves me the time of going there and checking shit, even on 4chan, it allows me to be notified of threads of interest since some of the anime I like don't often get threads.

64bit or 32bit
