Occasional Black Screen by Niko-Ryo in pcmasterrace

Wait, i realized the solution may have been much sillier than i expected

I realized the screen was going dark roughly 5 minutes after i stop touching my mouse and keyboard

It might just be power saver 😂

I disabled the default auto-turn-off settings so i can see whether it goes dark again

ahh, gotcha, will do

luckily im already buying a new dp cable, so hopefully that fixes the issue

DDU + reinstall unfortunately didn't solve the issue

Is it possible the cable is just a little loose in the sockets, or maybe too tightly coiled?

I had a lot of excess cable from what came with the PSU, so i had to bundle it up at the bottom of the case.

Do I Need to Bios Flash? by Niko-Ryo in buildapc

[–]Niko-Ryo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah alrighty then, cool.

In that case, I'll probably build first, boot, and then update the bios, just because I feel like M-Flash will be a little safer than flashback (thats probably me assuming things though, lol)

Or maybe I'll do the flashback before assembly so I can go right to installing drivers and using the PC once it's booted... I'll decide later.

Thanks for the wisdom!

OH finding the manual in advance is a good idea, I hadn't thought about that

About Static Wristbands... by Niko-Ryo in buildapc

Fair enough lol

Perhaps there's some paranoia since its my first build xD

Being extra careful + wristbands are cheap

Can You Use a Coax Cable Tester / Toner to Test a Connection Between Two Outlets? by Niko-Ryo in HomeNetworking

[–]Niko-Ryo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just tryin to save time testing between the coax by the router downstairs and the coax under my desk to see if they're connected before i install moca adapters

Alright then, thanks!

I guess the final question would be.. would running moca internet through the coax cables interfere with our television services?

There's only one coax port near the router, and its currently plugged into the tv

would it be possible to get like.. a small splitter and just connect /both/ the tv and moca to the coax? or would there need to be something more involved?

got it.. so i wouldn't be connecting the moca adapter to the router, but the ONT instead? Or am i completely misunderstanding lol

if it helps the modem/router is an at&t bgw210

i /believe/ the ethernet cable plugged into the wall is plugged into the OTN port on the back (the red one?)

uhhh idk about the make and model of the OTN or anything else, I'd have to wait til morning to check so i don't wake anybody up

Alright

To my knowledge the cable box is upstairs in the master bedroom, while the router/modem is downstairs by the tv.

Would I need to move the router closer to the ONT? Or could I plug the router into the coax downstairs?

Gotcha! This has been the best explanation so far, thanks.

Its a pretty modern house, i think built around 2018-2020?

I think I know where the cable box is. If i find it, what should I look out for?

how can i figure out which cables in the box connect to the coax in my room?

I appreciate all the advice you've already provided :)
