I wish it was easy. I'm fond of refined sugar. If I could lower my sugar intake then I would be in good shape. It's hard to do because it tastes so good. That and the white starches.

I've been using Monk Fruit for a sugar substitute. Zero calories and it tastes good.

Ok I called H&B, and they said as soon as the part is in, they will come out and install the missing part in the gas furnace, then the gas furnace repair will be complete, and I do not owe a thing to H&B.

Oh good a win at last Vic. :-)

Vic....
If the outlets are junk, what is plugging a surge suppressor/splitter into them going to accomplish?
If they cannot make proper contact in the outlet, something is either not going to work or burn up.
Just wondering.

Meow?

Well it's not that the outlets are total junk, it's just objects heavier than a cord for a vacuum cleaner will fall off, like My CO detector, or the heavy cord for the room a/c, the surge suppressor has a screw to secure the suppressor in place tightly to the outlet, as if it were a faceplate, then it'll be fixed, I know this is just a workaround, but for $10.85 and $7.99 each, it will solve a problem, and for low cost.

OK, that might help then. Good luck.

Vic,

I LOOOOVE APC stuff; BUT, that particular unit is built that way to allow furniture to be moved closer to a wall WITHOUT blocking outlets. If you don't need the functionality of that APC unit, then save some money and get all units in the second type you mention. However; if you do need the functionality of having side mounted electrical access, then by all means get one or more of the APC units.

Home Depot has one that is outward facing for a little less than $8


and one that has 6 outlets and different angles for under $6


and Walmart has a 6 outlet side adapter for $5.



Sorry about the picture size. I just hot linked instead of resizing and hosting.

I could be wrong, but......
I doubt that it has anything to do with the video card, Vic.
I think that just watching videos is well within the processing capabilities of even rather old cards.
It's probably either crunching Seti on the card is too much whilst trying to view videos, or your CPU is maxed out.
I get lag sometimes when watching vids on my 980. And it's because the CPU is running at 100%.

Have you checked usage of the GPU and CPU when you have this problem?
You are running Win7 Pro 64, just like my daily driver.
It has a CPU/RAM monitor widget. Bring that up and see how your CPU is doing when you have the problem.

Like Mark I don't think it is the GPU or the CPU as I can watch video's and live TV streams on my old laptop. That has a celery cpu and intel gpu.

I have the same problem. If I want to watch flicker free video I need to pause Boinc. And I am running twin 1060's.

I suspend GPU use, if I want to do anything more than play cards, which also frees a needed CPU core.

You could also try to see if suspending BOINC network activity helps .

If you were not watching a video, then by

"I've found My video is laggy on websites"

you are saying the image of a static web page took a while to load?
That most certainly has nothing to do with the video card. Nothing at all.
The video card will render that before you even have time to blink once the data is fed to it.

Look elsewhere, Vic. A different video card is not going to fix this.
