It turns out my issue is not a hardware problem. Or more correctly, the hardware problem has been solved. My hard drive enclosure has a USB...
My laptop is having problems, so I took out the hard drive and put it in an external 2.5 inch external case connected by USB. Windows finds the...
Thanks for the information. That's good to know. Sorry to hear that you had the problem, but glad to know I do not.
Good point, Arie. It looks like I probably need a different board anyway, like this one. But I'll check for sure when I get a chance to take the...
Thanks for your comments, Arie. As you suggest, I'll try Neil's suggestion first. But I have found a motherboard that I believe will work. I'll...

Thanks for the suggestions. Before I saw the suggestions, I tried to access the websites that I was unable to access before. They worked fine....
Suddenly today some websites started loading slowly, and some won't load at all -- they get stuck. That was with Google Chrome, but when I tried...
Good suggestion. I'll check those.
To be sure, I decided to go down the list of steps in the list linked to in my last posting. That caused a big surprise. I had apparently NOT...
When I searched for more information about powercfg, I found this. But I did all the steps, and found nothing that would indicate a problem.
