    Poor signal to one computer on network?

    Thanks for the advice! Rechecked everything I am not near any phones/microwaves/ other electric devices, I have put it in multiple spots in the house, doesn't work. Scanned for malware with malwarebytes, nothing on the computer, it is brand new. Any other suggestions?

    Poor signal to one computer on network?

    The wired connection seems fine. The problem must be the card? I also tried a Wireless G from US robotics that had the same problem.

    Poor signal to one computer on network?

    I will try to wire it and see how it goes. What would be the solution if, infact, both wired and wireless are having problems? No malware. The computer is about 2 weeks old and it has been having this problem since I booted it up, although I can scan for it. Any particular malware program you...

    New Computer, several problems.

    I got on the phone with some techies and I reset the CMOS, and I am able to function fine after taking out the GPU. The Foxconn tech guy seemed to narrow down the problem to the memory, the GPU which is no longer in, and the bios which he "highly" recommends to update. I will update the bios...

    Just got back from work. Took the GPU out and tried to boot from the MOBO internal graphics but it is diabled and still no image on the screen. Should there be an image even though it was disabled? Also, I have no idea where to find that model number lol. There are a ton of serial numbers...

    New Computer, several problems.

    Little update. Rewired. No luck. The pulsating fan is just from the GPU, I thought it was the whole system but it is not, this happens at the same time that the three red lights go flashing. Is this a faulty GPU? I will try updating the BIOS when I get home from work, I hope I can do...

    Yeah I was worried about the PSU, was one of my biggest concerns. ChrisScar the link doesn't work but I am curious as to what that is. I think I will get the 4850 too now that you mention it. Do I need an additional heatsink for the system?
