Ah yeah, I should buy some stuff to check those. But could it be PSU in this case? :F

since it's old, look for swollen capacitors on your motherboard and psu
Computer Symptoms
Bad capacitors on a motherboard can severely affect a computer's performance. The computer may not turn on. If it does, it may stop at some point in the startup process. It might shut down or "freeze" unexpectedly. The behavior may be erratic, working some times and shutting down at others.

Wow, thank you! Unfortunately, I have the same problem that I've had before where the monitors (5 of them; windows 64-bit as well) turn on right after they turn off. I didnt move the mouse or anything afaict. It's also random too -- sometimes the monitors stay off for over 5min, and sometimes they turn on sooner than that. I can't really find a pattern. The longest they have stayed off was like 30 min before they just turned on. =/


Edit: I'm starting to think they're haunted.

You probably just have some software waking them. Doesn't sound very easy to narrow down..

You're right. *reformats*

Uh, I unplugged any extra peripherals (like 3 controllers and a bluetooth mouse). I'm going to systematically figure out what's doing this now that I have time. Thank you all for the continuous help, though!

Edit* I think I did it!

I first turned off as many startup progs in msconfig but that didnt seem to do anything. In fact, the monitors were restarting immediately after they were turned off whereas before I did that in MSCONFIG, they were at least staying off for 5min lol.

Anyway, so I uninstalled some programs but it still had the issue. So I finally went through and disconnected more stuff and it seems to be working. Ill have to figure out which item was the culprit

I have DSL 6000 (means 6Mbit/s downstream and 600kbit/s upstream). My PC ist connected wit dlan and only see 2,9Mbit/s :/
I feel that my smartphone has more speed with WLAN than my PC. Is there a speedtest site for mobile drive?

Wake on LAN might be a culprit to look into if nothing else works, but I wouldn't expect that to be in use without you having set something up.

Actual speeds are very rarely near advertised speeds. I'm getting ~28 down, 5-7 up while paying for 80 down, 20 up. I'm not sure of mobile speedtests but generally desktop + LAN cable is quite trustworthy for max speeds

I found the culprit! It was an xbox360 controller from gamestop (off brand lel) that was causing it cuz I disconnected it and the monitors stay turned off!

Yay!!! Thanks, everyone!

I know about actual and advertised speed.

I can't connect my PC with LAN or WLAN (router&modem are in cellar and my room is in 2. floor). My Laptop with WLAN in ground floor sees 3,9Mbit/s.
I can watch a twitch stream 1080p flawlessy on my smartphone in 1.floor, but no reception in 2.floor (same for my laptop). My PC dont even on "high" (720p) with DLAN. DLAN sucks :/

To be honest, I get like 95% of my advertised speed at least in terms of download

Look into Ethernet over Power as an alternative to running a CAT5/6 cable. This works best in single family homes.

It is called DLAN (only in Germany?), which sucks in my case.

Any phone experts here? My iPhone 4S is going to hell - wifi stopped working and randomly crashes. I would like to buy a new phone but I do not have 700 euros for a new iPhone. Is there anything good around 100/150 euros? The thing I am mainly concerned is how will I syncro all the music with itunes...hmm

I have a question about browser security.

When browsing team liquid or at my clan forums (Zetaboard), I sometimes get re-routed to this dumb page which explains Jennifer Anniston's miracle diet. This happened to me on Opera. Now I switched to Vivaldi to try it out and I got it again when visiting TL.

I'm a noob at browser security so does anyone have any ideas? Should I go back to Firefox and noscript or what?

You can get malware on your system that will redirect you like that regardless of browser used

It's at least worth it to run stuff like Malwarebytes regularly. I'm not a fan of that always running stuff that stops you from running .exe's or clicking on links (while messing up your system performance) either
