    What is happening to my pc? [Lost Hope]

    ensure your cpu temps are monitored. you wouldnt want anything above 60c under load especially now with the nvidia 970 . the phenom cant keep up, you will always experience cpu bottlenecking , core hitting 100% usage in most gaming scenario so temps can easily skyrocket. so stock cooler wont...

    Dvi d to hdmi help please

    most monitors if not all of them wont do 1440p through hdmi unless they have HDMI 2.0. since your gpu doesnt, you should run through dvi. if your gpu doesnt have 2 x dvi ports, alternatively you can use a displayport to dvi active adapter for the second monitor.

    Can my pc run 144hz monitors?

    it is good enough to drive 144hz monitors however not good enough when gaming is involved since its not strong enough to score above 60 fps in 1080p , so you wont benefit from the higher refresh rate.

    Mini DP to DVI ?

    the higher the ppi number the smaller things will look in windows desktop. try here https://www.sven.de/dpi/ 2560x1440 32'' = 91.79 PPI 1920x1080 27'' = 81.59 PPI 1920x1080 24'' = 91.79 PPI

    Mini DP to DVI ?

    144hz capable monitors come with the necessary cable out of the box so use the one provided. Dvi or dp will both bring the same result.

    Will a Display Port to DVI adapter work from the GPU to monitor?

    What you need to know is that there are 'passive' and 'active' adapters . The later are mantadorty when signal conversion is needed (analog to digital and vice versa) or resolution exceeds 1920*1200p. In your case a common 'passive' adapter like the one posted, will work just fine.

    21-27inch monitor with 3 HDMI ports

    what is your pc hardware? you are limiting your options for no good reason. you dont really need 3x hdmi , your desktop will easily run trough dvi or dp at 1080 or 1440p.

    How do I hook up 3x1440p monitors @60Hz on a 390X?

    if im not mistaken your gpu has 2 x DL-DVI-D 1 x HDMI 1 x DisplayPort and although your monitors have support for HDMI 2.0 your gpu is limited to 1.4 , so for anything higher than 1440p/60hz i suggest to use 2x DVI D DL and DP for your monitors or all of them on DP through MST hub. keeping the...

    VGA not detected, fan is on, monitor goes into power saving

    well im surprised it actually lasted over a year! it is on the verge of death.! it could just die and take everything else with it.! the antec is ok but if planning to keep it with the future upgrade i would get a better one. 550 - 650w will be plenty for a single gpu setup.

    thats hardly a monitor issue.thats a terrible psu!!! throw it out of the window asap.!! doesnt even have any pcie power cable so you shouldnt be running that gpu with it anyway.! molex to pcie isnt safe to use.! if you arent planning any upgrade in the near future , here is a cheap but decent...

    you are already stressing the memory controller enough with all slots occupied and 32gb of ram.! manually set all memory parameters latency(primary and secondary , you may also need to loosen them a bit) and volts at 1866mhz. i dont think you will manage 2400mhz at such config. you could try...
