To close of the thread; thanks for your help, guys. As a result of my mentioning in conversation my need for the described graphics card and the recommended GT 1030 I was given a secondhand GTX 1050 that I fitted yesterday. It is probably overkill for my needs (photographic image and video...

Thank you, Lokken86! I think you are right and you have saved me both time and the risk of mistake. :)

I need to replace the graphics card in my Windows 10 PC (ASUS P8Z77-V-LX mobo) with one that will drive an extended desktop across one 3840x2160 60Hz monitor via HDMI 2.0 and one 1920x1080 monitor via HDMI or DVI. The card will sit in a PCIe slot and the bay above it is empty. If need be I...

A couple of weeks ago I upgraded my PC from W7 Pro x64 to W10 Pro x64. All seemed great. Yesterday, I came to use the Akasa AK-ICR-14 3.5" front panel memory card reader for the first time and found that neither the SD or CF slots work (the only two I have cards for) but the USB 3.0 port...

Oh boy. Ask a clear question and and the thread goes off on tangents anyway, supposing things when in fact the available information isn't there and the suppositions are plain wrong. :) Per my original post the memory stick forms one component of a multiple layer backup strategy. The...

With respect, you misunderstand. Every time the stick is plugged in to the router, yes, it has the same I.P. address. This is an essential part of the backup working. When I am in Timbuktoo on business and the same stick is plugged in to the laptop it becomes a local drive, F for the record -...

Many thanks for the replies and suggestions. My broadband upload speed is typically 100kbps so yes, cloud really is out of the question. Been there. Tried that. Suffered the frustration. Yes, the router turns the USB stick in to a NAS. Very handy as my three "real" NAS devices are rather...

Please no cloud suggestions; it is not a viable option with my poor home broadband upload performance. :( My home router has two USB ports in to one of which I plug a memory stick that forms one component of a multiple layer backup strategy. The reason for writing this backup layer to a USB...

After yet another mistake when an event noted in the family calendar (paper, hanging on the kitchen wall) had not been transcribed in to my Outlook calendar I have decided to migrate the family calendar to a Google Calendar; a quick test to set up appropriate iCalendar permissions shows that the...

Well, I'll now eat some humble pie as I have learned that the username and password are significant - at least if a Home Hub is not being used. Although I always use my e-mail address with its btopenworld.com domain, I just tried configuring the TP-Link router to use the btinternet.com...

Many thanks, dfarrall, but I've tried that. I believe that there is no need for a password with BT ADSL Max (see final comment below) but anyway I've tried: [email protected] / No password [email protected] / "BT" as the password (which several websites suggest) My own...

I'm pulling my hair out that something I thought was simple (perhaps it still is!) can be so frustrating! My TP-Link TD-8817 modem happily connects to my home's BT ADSL Max service but won't then establish an internet connection. Please will you be kind enough to look at the following...

Background My current home network is comprised of a BT Home Hub v1 directly connected to the master telephone socket and with one of the two Ethernet ports connected to an Ethernet cable network that through a series of Netgear GS605 unmanaged switches, serves all nine networked devices in my...

For some years I have been in the habit of using my PC to charge my smartphone, even when the PC has been powered off, not just sleeping; clearly the mobo was still live power-wise. Since I have a USB cable anyway for transferring files to and from the 'phone, this means one less cable creating...

BTW - Plenty of CPU cooling with the following CoolerMaster Freezer 13 and thermal paste. The case is a well cooled (and filtered) Xigmatek Asgard Pro complete with 4 induction fans and 2 exhaust fans plus the large case top vents (the case is run at positive pressure to reduce dust ingress)...

Thanks for the kind advice. Unfortunately though, leaving voltage to Offset (with auto control), setting BCLK to 100, and the multiplier to 44 has increased CPU voltage to beyond what I am comfortable with based on what I read on this forum: If I leave BCLK at 100 and the multiplier at...

I still haven't heard back from the supplier, so have made some simple manual adjustments via the BIOS and taken the overclock up to as near as makes no difference the 4.4Ghz that I purchased. The PC is entirely stable in usage and also passed both blended and "maximum CPU" Prime95 stress...

Hi jorum. Just wondered if you had had any joy by now? Cheers, E6600

Many thanks, jorum. Most kind. E6600

PERFECT! :) Thank you, AtaRo.
