It went down again around 2:15 this morning. I tried pinging but it couldn't reach anything on the network or on the outside ie: router, printer, other PCs... the only thing I could ping was itself. In the event viewer I get a lot of codes for 27 & 57, basically it's disconnecting and then...

Not using split tunneling. For some reason It typically loses connection overnight so go figure. I tried removing the driver but soon as I searched for hardware changes it just reloaded the same one it was using. I have 7 systems that run 24/7 and this is the only one having issues.

It's working now and I can ping my pfSense box, I figured that would only make sense if it was down.

Yes it seems to appear that way.

It was same as before, the globe icon showing there's no internet, I was able to close out the VPN and then disable and re-enable my network adapter. It's just odd that when using Nord and Surf Shark that it breaks my connection, not at the same time as I've uninstalled Nord for now. So far I've...

I created another image of it this morning and went to the dark side.... I don't really have a whole lot of experience with it but so far it's horrendous. I know there are websites that get into tweaking the settings to get the look and feel back. So far it's been connected since this morning...

It's back again, disconnected sometime last night. At first I thought it was Nord but I ended up getting Surf Shark but it still lost connection using the new VPN. I've been slowly adding things back which is why it took awhile for it to come back. When I installed this one I uninstalled Nord. I...

Streaming out of network. I must live in a hole because a lot of stuff isn't available in my area and/or blocked out.

I do not use their DNS servers. Just kinda odd that I started having issues with Nord again and wonder if my recent issues were just them. I just went with Surfshark and got 36 months for $84.74 plus an extra month free, all for about $2.35 and some change per month.

I don't know if I recommend Nord or not, when I first signed up it was horrible but then overtime it got a lot better but now I'm having issues with my desktop disconnecting and before their support recommended changing the protocol and I had it on auto but then I changed it to NordLynx. From...

I see HDMI listed, was that the port it was trying to output the sound? if so should be able to just change which port it's sending the audio out but at least it's working now for you.

I finally got to install the Phanteks fans this evening and I figured out how to install the front fans. The spacing for the fans are spread apart and not the close spacing that the radiator is, before I just used the holes for the middle fan that attached everything together but this time with...

I did too but I currently have one that bit the dust, HL-5250DN and honestly it didn't get that much use. I have had it for years and only replaced the toner maybe 2 or 3 times and never the drum unit. I still have it but from what I remember it's a power issue and won't turn on so I ended up...

So far it's been rock solid at least as much from what it was before I started having this issue. I didn't really like the other answer of upgrading to 11, I know 10 is basically dead and on it's last legs but that's opening another can of worms. I went ahead and created an image of this system...

I was able to find another firmware that had not been updated, it was listed with the bios but only as a hyperlink so I didn't pay any attention to it. I think some manufacturers include it with the bios so it does it all together but then others you have to update each component separately. I...
