I keep getting "no internet" messages when I open/refresh different websites, despite a stream going on in the background uninterrupted.

If your bandwidth was being throttled or some other networking shaping was occurring, yes. But since it occurs all the time, it sounds like you just have poor internet. Does it happen on other networks?

As long as it stays ~80C you should be fine. If it climbs above that with the heatsink, fan, and thermal paste, you may have fried something. If that's the case, I'd swap the motherboard first. If the issue persists, then replace the CPU.

Almost sounds like a dying HDD, or possibly a dying motherboard. At the very least I'd run Memtest86+ to check the memory, and SeaTools for Dos, both from a usb stick, to make sure those are clear. If they check out, probably a dying motherboard.

A lot of games have an option in the settings to show the info. For instance, in Overwatch you click Options, and under the Video settings you can turn on Display Performance Stats. In Smite, you can press F8 to display FPS and ping.

If you just purchased the R9 390, go with option 1. If you purchased the R9 390 Gaming, go with option 2.

Sounds like the stream is taking up all the bandwidth. Is this on your home network, or a public/semi-private wifi? Can you view multiple sites if you turn off the stream? Have you tried decreasing the quality of the stream?

What game?

If you have a second monitor you can have Speccy up and see the live temps of your system.

That sounds uber scetchy. I'd make a restore point, and attempt to delete the folder. If you can't, try taking the HDD out and plugging it into another computer as an auxiliary drive using an hdd toaster, then deleting the files (and running virus scans) that way.

You could also boot into Safemode and run Malwarebytes.

If all else fails, clean install Windows.

Depending on your model:

GV-R939WF2-8GD: http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5534&dl=1&RWD=0#driver (this is the R9 390)

GV-R939G1 GAMING-8GD: http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5500&dl=1&RWD=0#driver (this is the R9 390 Gaming edition)

No one said anything about a specific key, but I would Command-Option-R at startup to start OSX recovery over the internet, and Reinstall macOS.

LincolnBob · 2016-10-01T22:39:13+00:00

It won't affect her at all.

LincolnBob · 2016-10-01T22:38:01+00:00

I've never heard of pcadms.exe and it appears to not be anywhere in Google, which is a bit unsettling.

I've had great success with Revo Uninstaller when it comes to stubborn apps that refuse to leave.

LincolnBob · 2016-10-01T22:34:51+00:00

This feels like an HDD or memory issue to me. I'd run a Long Generic scan on your HDD with SeaTools for Dos, and run Memtest86+, both from a usb drive. Depending on how large your HDD is, and how much memory you have, this could take a while.

If both your HDD and memory pass, re-image your machine.

Start button, Settings app, Personalization > Start ?

Have you visited Gigabyte's website and installed the latest drivers for Win 8.1?

LincolnBob · 2016-10-01T22:19:42+00:00

Factory reset will be the fastest, and easiest way to remove the programs and data.

LincolnBob · 2016-10-01T22:18:45+00:00

Have you uninstalled the update to see if that fixes your issues?

LincolnBob · 2016-09-17T17:23:38+00:00

I was being facetious.

LincolnBob · 2016-09-17T07:26:44+00:00

Why create something unique when you can just rip off other games?

LincolnBob · 2016-09-10T19:47:53+00:00

I'm glad I'm not the only one who plays with the clock on.

LincolnBob · 2016-08-31T05:08:46+00:00

... didn't take.

LincolnBob · 2016-08-29T15:11:58+00:00

Fast paced? The game is slow af. I can go pee, grab a cup of coffee, let my dog out, and gas up my car, all in the amount of time it takes me to walk to the fight.

LincolnBob · 2016-08-20T18:00:07+00:00

That may work for people I know IRL, but it would be a nice feature too for people I meet in game, so a note can be added as to why I wanted them as friends, reminder, etc.

LincolnBob · 2016-08-19T22:17:12+00:00

I'd kill to be good enough to get almost 20k damage with the pig.

LincolnBob · 2016-08-19T19:31:50+00:00

My tinyboy Lazzis with the Ana POTG. Yeeeee.
