I'll give that a try, though desktop's IP is set to never expire, and the wifi dongle gets an IP without issues so idk, but I'll have a go and post back. If you have any other troubleshooting steps to try, please post them. EDIT: on a hunch, I dug up the BT smart hub I was given 2 years ago...

I followed your steps to a T, uninstalled the controller and its drivers, rebooted, windows reinstalled them again, ethernet doesn't work even though it would appear to "physically" work. No other devices are connected to the modem, which is a TP Link ADSL/VDSL modem, not a router. My bad if...

Nope, I have to use a little wifi dongle to connect to my router, ethernet flatout refuses to work even though network sharing centre sees my router and its name after punching in IP/DNS/gateway/etc manually. Defaults, ie "obtain address automatically" etc end up showing "unidentified network".

I've done all of that, but windows claims that a driver from 2015 is up to date, it also said the same thing about a 2019 driver that came with this system.

Funny story, I'm colourblind so my observation might be wrong. But from what I see, the left light [if you look at the connector sideways] is flashing, the right one stays on all the time.

There you go: Case FRACTAL MESHIFY 2 COMPACT BLACK GAMING CASE (Window) Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 5 5600G Six Core CPU with Radeon™ Graphics (3.9GHz-4.4GHz/19MB CACHE/AM4) Motherboard ASUS® TUF GAMING B550-PLUS (DDR4, USB 3.2, 6Gb/s) - ARGB Ready! Memory (RAM) 16GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4...

Hello once again, something weird is happening with networking and it's driving me up the wall, and I really hope someone can help me. A few months back, my internet connection went down...except it didn't. Internet kept working, but the ethernet decided to disconnect itself. I ran the windows...

Hi again, no whinging about non-issues this time, just a quick question. I've got a NF-S12B I could pull out of my old desktop and plug into the new one, but should I? Based on what everyone said thus far, the temps I've got are perfectly normal, so I was just wondering if an extra case fan...

I don't care that you're biased, if you find a make/model solid, performant and reasonably priced, I will definitely consider it. Though this is giving me strange vibes, as I got an AOC monitor with my 2010 toaster and it packed in after about 2 years.

I've just read the full review on KG. Is the colour uniformity going to be really bad and/or noticeable? Otherwise £180 for 1080p/144hz doesn't sound ridiculous.

Interesting ;) PCS price seems to hover around RRP, give or take a few quid. But one thing that really bothers me about the south american river's rating system is this: If a product is sold through a single listing with several options available, all reviews, regardless of style, go into the...

Max budget is none, really. I already spent £1500 on this desktop, but if my monitor happens to be on its way out, then I need some sort of contingency in form of one that's decent enough but not too expensive. I understand where you're coming from with "higher cost = quality" but I'm presently...

Not sure, something around £130-140 max, anything higher just seems like overkill.

Nothing super specific, just a 1080p monitor running 60hz. I know that's ancient tech but that's all I really need to get by.

Ah, yea I've seen that video, but those are mostly for gaming so they'll be anywhere between £50 and £100 more than I'm able to spend, really. I think my old one might be developing a fault in the power adapter, buying a replacement is risky because if you get the voltage/amps wrong, the monitor...
