Tried it with a different graphics card so it’s definitely not the card.

Never mind that light is supposed to be on

Hey all! Got an odd one for you. My pc froze and I tried to let it fix itself but wouldn’t after a few minutes so I did a hard shut down. I left it for about 2-3 minutes then booted it back up again. It started fine but nothing displays on the screen. Fans are going, my graphics card is...

Ok, next question then haha. I found a really good deal on a RX 580 8gb. So should I upgrade my gpu first or my cpu? I was going to upgrade my cpu first and then wait for my tax return then upgrade the gpu and any other parts. But maybe I should do the opposite?

@celeron1200, are you suggesting it might be the HDD? What would be a better suggestion other than an SSD? It is a hybrid drive so it's got a small amount of SSD that I installed the OS on.

@Celeron1200 I'm not sure the 4GB VRAM is the issue. My GPU rarely ever hits even 50% usage while my cpu is closer to 100%. Even on lowest settings and dropping the resolution down I still get the same FPS hits which would indicate a CPU bottleneck correct?

That's the other option I was thinking of. If I get another stick of ram and do dual channel at 32gb, do you think i'd see a significant improvement? Or is it pretty much just upgrading the cpu.

Hello All! I was looking to upgrade my rig but I had a few questions because I want to make sure i'm upgrading in the right direction. I have started recording videos for Youtube and it is quite obvious I need to upgrade something. I'm thinking it's my cpu but I wanted to check a few more...

I did some more research, called Razer as well, it turns out it was in showcase mode. Apparently as th cat pulled the cords I was hitting the perfect combo to turn it on when I plugged it in next haha. All good now! Thanks for the help!

I plugged in my wireless keyboard which works just FYI

Hello All! I was playing CSGO and my stupid cat decided it would be a great time to jump on my cords and pull them out. Anyway, my keyboard now won’t work or type anything. My mouse and headset work but not the keyboard. It’s a Razer chroma and it’s just sitting here flashing colors across the...

Does anyone have any ideas???

Hello all, I apologize for another thread on this. I did look through the other threads first to try and find a solution but none of them worked. :( I am wanting to get into YouTube and downloaded OBS to get started. However I cant seem to get a stable recording. I was hoping to get some help...

Just finished my first pc build and it was successful! I have a second graphics card here as well. I bought an rx 480 with this new rig. The other card I have is an r9 290 can I put that in the new rig and get more power with both cards? Or would it not really make a difference? I've never done...

Thanks for the help! So I have a backup already should I just wipe the drive now and do the fresh install of windows on my current computer? Or do I need to wait until I have the new parts in to install Windows? If I need to wait what's the best way to get Windows on the drive since I won't have...
