Have you tried using different DNS servers?
I believe this widget is mostly polling name servers to determine if there's "internet".

So after a few weeks with my new computer theres only one issue; extremely long boot times.
When turning the computer on, either from complete power off or from sleep/hibernate as its turning on the computer will get stuck in the POST process, showing nothing more than a solid underscore symbol on either of my monitors. It will sit there showing the underscore symbol from anywhere between 30 seconds to sometimes up to 10 minutes if I get let run that long. Once it gets past that, it loads windows as fast as expected. Once in windows, zero issues at all so far perfectly stable performs as expected.
Ive updated the BIOS to the latest version, go into the BIOS and disabled or changed any setting that could likely be causing this like memory training and "fast boot" etc. Searching the interwebs for a solution is a bit annoying as the results seem to pretty much all be for people having hard disk issues which is clearly not the problem here.
Processor is a 7800X3d
Mobo is a Gigabyte B650M Aorus Elite AX
Anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

Can you dump the POST to logs with that BIOS? It has to be obviously getting stuck on something. Otherwise maybe you need to just remove/replace parts until it boots. There's always a possibility the motherboard itself is the problem. Also power supply and connections.

I haven't used any of the AM5 CPUs, but this does sound like memory training, though longer that what I've heard. Is there a setting to enable memory context restore in the BIOS? Does this happen with XMP/EXPO disabled and the memory running at JEDEC timings?

So. I'm rebuilding an old semi-retired desktop rig of mine into a VM running system and NAS for my house. So far the spec is filled out as such..
I7 with 4 cores (8 logical processors)
64gb RAM
PCIe 2TB drive for boot
4x 7tb HDD's for RAID 5 storage space.
The Motherboard (and older ASUS Prime MB) has an Intel RAID storage chipset on it. And it's apparently utter crap. Just horrible, and currently one week in and still trying to "initialize" the array.
Are there any good suggestions for a reasonably priced RAID controller card for use in a system like this? Been prowling Amazon and some other sites and nothing is jumping out as a good call....
Ideas?

Don’t use a raid card. Hardware raid is fairly obsolete at this point. You want a hba or a raid card that can be flashed to it/jbod mode. Then just throw truenas or some other zfs option on it.

I bought a Samsung t7 shield USB ssd to store videos. Now, when I open them the windows 11 "films and TV" app to trim sections I get an error message. I have to copy them from the SSD to my main HD in order to use this trim function.
Any ideas?

Just installed my new PSU and GPU and now all of a sudden all my case fans refuse to work. Pretty sure everything is plugged in correctly and I've tried a couple things in BIOS but still nada.
Also, I bought 2 more sticks of identical ram to what I was using but I have to disable xmp/docp or my comp won't boot at all. Two of sticks show as running at 3200 but other 2 show as running at 2400. I even tried to manually set them to match the docp profile but that didn't work either. I've heard that running 4 sticks can cause this to happen tho but maybe someone else has more insight.

When was the last time you updated your BIOS? Used to be a very common problem with 12th gen intel and 4 sticks.
Also manufacturing-wise unless you get all 4 sticks from the same kit / box they are not guaranteed to sync. You might have to adjust the clock to 3000

I had to update it for the 5800x3d so it's at the latest possible version. Every single thing is as up to date as possible I'm pretty sure.

Surprised you dont have a controller with its own power source, directed off of a USB connection.

Ya I might have to switch to that it looks like. I built this thing 3 years ago and there were no issues with the fans or anything at all really.

Case fan problem solved. Apparently, they were just plugged in wrong. Only problem that remains is the memory problem but after looking into it a bit it seems that there's nothing I can do. At least all of the ram registers and 2 of the 4 are working with the docp settings which is weird because I have them turned off.

My desktop PC doesn't power up anymore but pulling the power cord out and waiting 30-60s fixes it. It powers on when the cord is plugged back in but doesn't complete the first boot, then powers back up automatically and usually starts
It's 7.5 years old intel 6600k and is only used for downloading/watching TV/movies in my living room on my OLED TV. I have a 3 year old Ryzen laptop I bought for my business, this also runs SF6 just fine. I don't play/buy games apart from a brief spell of classic WOTLK and SF6.
The desktop has a GTX 1650 Super that I could put in a new machine, the purchase of which could also go through the business. So just wondering whether best option is just buy a new PC and stick the GFX card in, or just buy a new PSU.
The new desktop could also become my main work PC as my home office desk is also in the living room. So I could run a HDMI or DP cable to the monitor. This could be advantageous for video editing, although most of my editing is just small trailers not full clips.
Storage space is also a factor as I have two HDs in the desktop for all the films/TV. At least one of those is ancient and I'm constantly deleting old shows I won't watch again to make space for new downloads. Although really the chances of me watching some of those shows again are non existent. I did recently buy a 2tb external ssd drive for storing my own content
