I have not tried changing the mobo battery, maybe I’ll try that before replacing the whole mobo

I’ve also tried new outlets and new surge protectors.

So basically every time my power goes out, even for a moment, my computer dies for 3 days to a week. It has always turned back on though. It happens even when the computer is turned off during the outage. It even happened when I accidentally unplugged the sure protector when cleaning. It...

Hello all, I have a questions regarding standoffs. I am preparing for my first build tomorrow. I am using a NXZT S340 case and a MSI z170a M5 motherboard. The NXZT seems to have pre-installed mobo standoffs, however, the very center one is not threaded. Instead, it is capped with a little...

I wanted to ask what a decent price is for the MSI 1060 6GB. I have seen it on Amazon for $350-$375. Is $350 a fair price? Thanks

I am considering upgrading my amd 7850 to a msi 1060. My psu is a corsair 600w. The 1060 requires an 8pin connector, is that the same as a 6pin+2 or a 4+4pin? Just want to make sure I will be able to hook up the 1060 to my current psu. This will be my first time changing a gpu. Thanks!

My drivers are 13.12 ( I think that's up to date). Just hooked up the dual link dvi and was able to select 144hz refresh rate.

I understand now! Thanks, the monitor came with a dual link dvi so I'll play with it. Off topic here, I have a 120hz rr tv hooked up with hdmi to my ps3. Am I only seeing 60hz rr on my tv when gaming? Thanks all, ill hook up the DVI cable and let you know

I'm confused...so I should use a DVI dual link cable instead of an HDMI cable? I thought HDMI was better?

So I need to use an HDMI and the DVI? Right now I am only using HDMI. I figured out how to adjust the screen size with the GPU scaling option in AMD catalyst control center, so that's fixed. I am still unclear on how to set it to 144hz refresh rate....or will it automatically set it the 144hz?

Okay, so I bought a new monitor that is 1920x1080 Full HD 144hz refresh rate. and 1ms response time. I have a 7850 hd and catalyst control center. When I open catalyst control center to adjust the settings for my monitor, it says its in 1080p @ 60hz. So I go down to settings to adjust it and...
