When i first had them...

    When connecting second display, both go black

    Download the latest stable driver version for your card direct from NVidia, dont get it from the manufacturer downloads...Download and run DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) in safe mode to get rid of all trace of previous display drivers and then fresh install the NVidia driver, this would be...

    Starts, lights on, fans spin, no mouse, keyboard, monitor signal

    Okay. Having re-read your original post (i orginally assumed this system was all working together previously), and seeing what looks like 2 different ram sticks installed on your video... if this is the case, never mix ram, only use identicals. Remove one and only install the best of the 2, have...

    The pic looks fine. Nothing stands out in the vid. Your motherboard isnt in contact with the case anywhere is it? Iv seen this happen and short stuff out before. Also, dont think it could cause your prob but do you have diff ram sticks?

    What should I upgrade? SSD or RAM

    Also, i have the same CPU as you, iv disabled the 4ghz turbo core and overclocked it to 4ghz... its plenty steady at this and gives more consistent performance over using turbo core.

    What should I upgrade? SSD or RAM

    Take into account the following that i mentioned in another thread: Dont get sucked into this craze of needing as much FPS as possible, its the biggest waste of time ever. The most important thing you need with FPS is for it to match your monitors refresh rate. Theres no point your GPU...

    What should I upgrade? SSD or RAM

    Your setup is pretty similar to mine, although i do have my OS running on a seperate SSD. Having the OS setup that way has given me much better all round performance. Id personally go for the SSD over another RAM at the min. I have 8GB of the HyperX and its not selling me short just yet. In...

    Computer Begins Acting Very Strange After Hours of Use

    You'd be surprised how quickly your temps can drop actually. The time it takes for your comp to shut off, then start back up (at which point your fans will run at 100% for a few secs) and you to get back in game.

    Is it bad to keep pc components in bubble wrapper?

    Cant see this being an issue. Iv always kept spare components chucked in a drawer or box with nothing round them at all and never had a problem.

    New Grahpics card and same or worse fps on csgo.

    May i ask what your monitor refresh rate is? Unless you have spent alot of money most are 60hz (60 refreshes per second)... Dont get sucked into this craze of needing as much FPS as possible, its the biggest waste of time ever. The most important thing you need with FPS is for it to match your...

    Starts, lights on, fans spin, no mouse, keyboard, monitor signal

    The most obvious thing to look for visually on CPU is bent pins. You really need to narrow the issue down, the cpu not firing could be down to your psu not powering it (bad psu, cable or connector), motherboard issue or cpu dead. Could you put your rig next to another comp and plug its cpu...

    Starts, lights on, fans spin, no mouse, keyboard, monitor signal

    First thoughts are that your CPU is not working or not receiving power. Can you test the CPU in another compatible rig? Your pc will turn on in terms of lights, fans etc as long as the motherboard has power, but nothing that uses the CPU is working - making CPU most obvious candidate - in my...

    Computer Begins Acting Very Strange After Hours of Use

    As above poster just mentioned... first impression here is a temperature problem, either CPU or GPU overheating and throttling down to prevent damage. Install a program to check temps and see what they are when you first start with good FPS and then check the temps again when your stuttering...

    thinking about selling pc for an xbox one x

    My opinion (having tried the pc gaming venture myself) is that console is just a lot simpler to play. You see a game you like, buy it, put the disc in and play it, when your console needs an update, its automatic. On pc, games dont seem to be as plug and play, certain settings will make them...

    Amd fx 8320 OC question

    I have successfuly set the clock to 4.0Ghz @ a slightly lower 1.332v vcore and everything seems stable. Not really a fan of prime95 as its load is so unrealistic and harsh on system but checked playing a demanding game and temp reached no more than 48c after quite some time... Which isnt bad for...
