    Question PLEASE HELP! No display after i3 CPU upgrade to i7.

    From what I can tell - my MoBo doesn't have any video output? It seems to run through the graphics card HDMI only (currently a Radeon HD 5670). Unless there's a port I'm missing? I do currently have a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1050 Ti G1 ready to go, but haven't attempted to put it in the PC yet as...

    Bought the CPU and was promised it was fully working. I'm not holding my breath on Alienware responding as my Service Tag is LONG expired. SHould I complain to the person I bought the i7 off then? Is there no more option for me to try? 💔

    Question PLEASE HELP! No display after i3 CPU upgrade to i7.

    Hello, everyone! I'm working on upgrading an Alienware Aurora R2's CPU. Previously was an i3-540, but hoping to upgrade it to an i7-860. When I do though, there is no display. Having lurked over many forums and posts, I can see this isn't an uncommon issue, but I've seemingly done every step...
