In a worse case scenario you may be right but the computer is smart enough to but file and directory data close together and most usually have lots of buffer memory so when it reads stuff in it keeps it in the buffer until it is needed for something else. Chance is the file data is in the buffer...

Not quite correct. You can set up a VPN connection and see each other. You need to get some info the hard way though but it is possible but too drawn out to explain from work.

So I have a removable SSD so that I could install O/S to suit. I installed Windows 8.1 Pro on it and had 2 3GB data drives attached. Changed these to GPT volumes and windows didn't like it and I had to do a repair on it. Repaired okay. Tonight I decided I wanted to try out Server 2012 R2 to see...

Reset the BIOS. Your MB manual will tell you how. Sounds like you changed something you should not have when you made the change.

Okay used the suite to overclock to 4.3Ghz and it was stable as but when I reboot it has reverted back to the maximum of 4Ghz. Anyone know how to get it to stay at 4.3Ghz?

Well the new Asus board turned up and once I had everything in it booted fine so definitely the motherboard. This is the second dud I have had. The first was one with the cpu socket pins with a finger depression in it. Was a while ago now. The new system is lovely. As a start point I cranked it...

Also note that just because you are using RAID does not mean your data is safe and you still need backups. Found this the hard way when the directory structure of my RAID5 NAS drive got corrupted. The drives were all fine but the data was not recoverable without a huge expense

Well finally had enough parts to get my new beast going the other day. Everything except the GTX790 but I had an old 480 not doing anything so will use that till the budget allows. Put the 32GB of memory in and the 2x3TB hard drives, plugged the power cable in and pushed the button. Wow what a...

Laptops are usually not great gaming machines. They have very little fans (in size and quantity) so cant move much air around. The symptoms sound like the machine is just getting too hot and getting flakey. My desktop does the same thing. It is overclocked and most of the time it works...

Just because you have scanned for viruses and stuff and nothing was found does not mean there may still not be one there. It may be the scanner you are using does not know about that one. If it is being changed from auto back to manual then something is actually doing it. Did you remove the...

The USB stick is most likely in the wrong format and the PC cant read it. Usually should be formatted as Fat32.

Yes but he said he reverted it back to automatic. If his router has the details in them then the PC will automatically pick up the details from the router. If he knows what his DNS is supposed to be then these should be manually entered into the iPv4 details as manual. Then unless he has a virus...

You are certainly not answering his question so why reply?? He wants to use RDP so let him. You told him once what to use instead. Not very helpful

You may think so but being told to go away (which is basically what was said) is not a great attitude either. If the first bit wasn't there then maybe I would have taken it differently but hey I didn't. If someone has a suggestion that applies then thanks to them I will welcome it and try it...

Yes well that was the first place I looked and there are no answers there. It seems the answer they give to everything there is to tell you to call the support line. Well sorry but I am not going to waste my hours in queues waiting to talk to someone. If you don't want to answer then simply...
