Audio Re-revelation

So I'm an old geek, from the before time, in the long long ago. Over the years, since my first PC, I've used the following soundcards (yes, I kept track):

Soundblaster Pro
... AWE32
... Live Value
... Live 5.1 Platinum
... Audigy 2 ZS
... X-FI Extreme Music
... X-FI Titanium PCI-X
... SB Z SE
... X5

I have also, for several years now out of sheer laziness, used onboard audio from some Asus (always) mid-range gaming-oriented motherboard.

Got a little bonus at work, so thought, what the hell... and ordered the Soundblaster X5. Hooked it up, and.......

How Did I Forget That Audio Matters??????

This is my first off-board soundcard (guess it isn't technically that?) and holy forking shirtballs does it sound amazing!!! I otherwise listen to music exclusively by bluetooth to headphones or the car. So I accept that there's going to be a limitation to how good that can be. But sitting at my desk in the spot I listen to music most (while doing geek things)... I simply can't believe how much better everything sounds through the same speakers and (wired headphones).

Blarg.

Monitor keeps going into power saving mode

I have one monitor thats plugged in that works, but no matter what monitor or wires chosen it won’t stop going into power saving mode the second its plugged in and the computer turned on. Is there any way I can fix this? I have already checked the connections inside the pc and those are fine.

Internet issues

We never had an issue till I got the tower, now whenever I turn it on, the PC eats all the internet when doing nothing. I don't need to download, update or do anything and we lose all of the internet, and I mean all of it. I've searched up why it does this and nothing helps, our internet company is the same as our neighborhood Internet wiring, the router is in good condition. Hell, even when IM the only one who's awake and uses the PC, the internet craps out. I'm sitting on a $2000 paper weight and feel disappointed cause of it. Also I cannot do wired internet as I'm living with family.

Looking to buy a computer to play Sims 4

Hi all,

My monoblock computer has been slowly dying after its brave service of 6+ years. I'm looking for something new, whether laptop or another monoblock, but preferably former, which I would love to use exclusively to play Sims 4. The market has vast amount of options so I am absolutely lost and would love an advice within reasonable price range. By reasonable I mean what you think is best fit with its quality.

Thanks!

Help!! When I turn on the PSU switch, the RGB lighting starts flickering

About two weeks ago, when I plugged in my PC and turned on the power supply using the PSU switch, the lighting on my graphics card and microphone started flickering (basically all the RGB lighting connected to the PC). I searched for solutions and people told me the PSU was the problem, so I replaced the power supply.

Yesterday I connected everything and it worked fine, but this morning the exact same problem happened again. To explain in more detail: I connect everything, flip the PSU switch to supply power, and all the lighting starts rapidly flickering. This includes the GPU indicator light and the microphone lighting. I can also hear a quiet electrical whining/buzzing sound.

Please help, I’m already desperate!!

What’s one thing antivirus software still can’t protect people from?

Feels like modern antivirus tools are getting smarter every year, but honestly a lot of security problems still seem to come from human behavior more than technology.

Things like clicking random links, weak passwords, fake downloads, oversharing personal info, etc.

What do you think is the biggest mistake people still make online even with protection installed?
