My new LG smart tv connects to the internet through Wifi. My PC is connected through a wired connection on the same network. However my PC cannot see my TV on Network. Sometimes when both PC and TV are left on for a long time, the PC recognizes the TV on network. But by default it doesn't...

Check if any other device plugged into the front USB turns off the PC. Although it sounds like a PSU issue, there could possibly be a short circuit on your mother board where the front USB header is connected.

Sounds like there is no earth connection in your room. If you have a spare bulb and a couple of wires, try this. Connect one wire to live and the other to neutral. The bulb should light up. Now remove the wire in the neutral and connect it to ground. If your ground is OK then the bulb should...

Is it important to match voltage, cas, and timing - Memory - Memory Go through this thread. I don't think the difference in RAM timings is not so noticeable.

Actually the RAM you mentioned has different timing than the one he has.

The frequency would match but the latencies don't. RAMs often don't perform optimally when you mix and match. It's better to get a 4GB stick of the same model or 2 4GB modules of any good brand like say GSKill (the one listed in my signature). 2 4GB modules, however would probably be a waste...

For Sony Vaio when you start your laptop, enter BIOS by pressing F2 or F9 or Delete key. I'm not sure which but keep hitting these three keys alternately and you'll enter the BIOS. Another thing that strikes me is that, may be you lost the HDD drivers when you formatted your PC. I'm not sure if...

Enter your BIOS and see if you can view the hard disk there.

What exact problem do you face?

Sometimes errors are reported on Pass#5 & 6. So better to do 7-8 passes.

Okay thanks dude. I'm gonna try install an electronic choke on the tube giving me problems.

Yeah but energy efficient chokes do nothing to filter the interference. I think an UPS or Power Filter would serve me better.

I hope you did not do it intentionally :P I believe you caused some connectors to lose connection for a split second. Remember, the USB port is very sensitive. In fact EM interference from my tubelight switching on causes my USB devices to disconnect and reconnect. Now I have two tubes in my...

At least the distributor name is genuine.

Okay my PC survived the whole of last evening which was mostly consumed by 207 Windows updates. Did some gaming and watched a couple of Youtube videos as well. Did not freeze even once. Still I'm on the lookout for any anomalies in performance. CPU and GPU temperatures are also doing fine. PC...

Try booting into safe mode and see if you can reproduce the error there. Then report back. It would also be a good idea to check Power Options in Control Panel and see if High Performance is checked. If it is try switching to Balanced and restart your PC.

Depends on what else you want to put on the mobo besides the CPU but Gigabyte GA-B85M-D3H will do. Other chipsets that will work are H81, H81M, Z97, H97, P81, P85, Z87X, Z87N to name a few.

Like I said, my PC was hit by a surge, according to my belief. So it naturally follows I wasn't using any of the two devices mentioned. A surge protector is basically an extension cable with a built in fuse which shuts off the power during surges (I'm not sure how this works i.e. whether it is...

An UPS would allow your PC to get a clean voltage immune from surges. Anyway, why I think there's nothing wrong with your sockets is because sockets are simple constructions having no electronic components except if you have MCBs in them. So if it works, it works. Otherwise it doesn't. They...

I personally don't think there's anything wrong with your electrical sockets. I think the problem may lie either in the PSU or Motherboard. Sometimes these tend to correct themselves temporarily and show up some time later. But till it happens again you cannot be sure. If you cannot reproduce...
