Hello. Basically, laptop A (sony vaio) died due to charging/battery issues. It goes beyond the battery, and a fix won't be simple. (it's the charging port itself) Laptop B (an old Dell) is my Mother's old laptop that's very slow and bloated but salvageable. I put the Hard Drive from A into...

Since I am using on of these (http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NTAwWDUwMA==/z/BVUAAOxyRNJSlsBS/$_35.JPG?set_id=880000500F) to power the 6pin connection, while using another splitter to power the 8pin, maybe it's not receiving enough raw power?

Monitor settings... Didn't try that. I have the new one on dvi working fine now I'll see if there's a setting to make hdmi work.

To clarify what I tried, I had original monitor on dvi (with the blue vga converter on it) like usual, and tried hdmi for the new one. When plugged in, the second (hdmi) monitor was black, but my windows interface would dissappear from primary monitor (dvi) and, I'm guessing, move to the new...

Hello. Just got a new monitor and if I could use it with my old one I'd love to. I have a radeon 7770 with one each DVI HDMI and DP Using hdmi and dvi does not work. And I have no dp cable. What do I have to do to make them both display. For what it's worth the second monitor was plugged into...

I have a Cyberpower 1337 pre-built desktop PC. It's a couple years old, and I want to upgrade the radeon 7770. I want to spend $100-$200. Any suggestions for a good, compatible card? And I have a "600w Power Supply", with no info on the manufacturer. Do you think I'd need a new one with my...
