I just unplugged my network card and was able to log into Windows. Not sure what the deal is, but hopefully things keep working

Did you have to pick up a new Windows installation disk?

The only reason I'm hesitant to reinstall the OS is that I've been able to reach it once or twice. Not sure whether I have many options left though. I just tried booting into safe mode but was unable to

I disassembled my computer a few weeks ago and just reassembled it yesterday. Although it was working fine when I took it apart, I'm running into a problem now. When I boot up the computer, it gives me options to enter the BIOS and I see the normal Gigabyte screen with a loading circle, but...

I've been looking at getting the HD 598s since the pair of Bose OE2 headpphones I previously owned doesn't work anymore. Are the 598s okay to be used as everyday, transportable headphones or are they meant to be kept inside by my computer and not subjected to carrying around? If the 598s are...

I'll try uninstalling the and drivers

Accidentally selected your response as a solution. I just tried plugging in the 7770, but after a couple of minutes of laggy use, it crashed. I noticed that my psu fan isn't spinning. Should this be the case?

Today, I updated my old PSU and GPU (A 500W Rosewill and a Radeon 7770) to new ones (A 750W Corsair and a GTX 770 4GB). Upon startup, my computer crashed. I remembered having this problem before when I originally put together the computer, and I solved the problem by updating the BIOS. I tried...

While I'm able to plug a monitor into the graphics cards ports and have it work, I'm unable to install nVidia drivers, and the graphics card doesn't show up in Device Manger or HWMonitor. Because there's no drivers, my screen appears in an extremely low resolution. If my gpu isn't dead, what do...

Earlier it was crashing in the mdidle of the installation, but the problem's been resolved now. Thanks, though

Hi, I've been having trouble installing Windows 8 on a computer I put together, and I was notified by Microsoft Support that there might be compatibility issues between my mobo and Windows 8. The motherboard is a GIGABYTE GA-Z77-DS3H LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel...

Nope. I get to the screen with the Windows 8 logo, a loading circle, and "getting ready" and then the computer just shuts off. It's a clean install--just assembled the machine a couple days ago. I talked to Microsoft Support today, and a rep told me that it was possible that my mobo wasn't...

I tried installing Windows 8, but the install crashed. I was wondering whether I should install the things from the CDs that came with my motherboard and GPU first? Thanks
