    Would a bad CPU cause this

    Thanks. I checked this right after I posted the question. Drunken purchases don't always work out I guess. I hate how they never changed the socket so everything appears as if it should work.

    Would a bad CPU cause this

    I am doing a new build: 7700k Maximus x hero g.skill 3200 16gb ram I built the PC initially, and it had no POST. Lights came on the motherboard, fan turns once then it shuts down. No error codes on the mobo just dead. I tried a different PSU and still nothing. Tried putting RAM in different...

    EVGA GTX 1080 FTW Issues

    I ended up contacting EVGA and they recommended to RMA the card and get a new one. We will see if this fixes the problem. If not I might have to try a new mobo. Thanks for your help.

    Using Three Monitors on EVGA GTX 1080 FTW

    For anyone with this same question I have contacted EVGA and found a solution. To go from the Displayport on the card to an HDMI or DVI input on the monitor I would have needed an active adapter. However they have informed me that running triple monitors using 1xDisplayport, 1xHDMI, and 1xDVI...

    Can Walmart Gift Cards be spent online AND in-store?

    As gift cards are typically a credit card there should be no reason why it wouldn't work both online and in a store. As long as there is a balance remaining on the card it should be fine. Alternatively you could simply call your local Walmart and ask them, or go down and try it. If it doesn't...

    I need help in cleaning my PS4.

    Hey, While I wouldn't recommend running the PS4 without it's shell, I don't necessarily think it would cause any harm as long as nothing was touching it. If you are already taking the cover off I did find an album on imgur that shows a step by step of how to clean the fans using air and cotton...

    Play PC Games on Mobile?

    Hey, As far as I'm aware there is no way to do this. You would also have to deal with the lack of input devices as well. The closest solution you probably could get would be to get something like an Nvidia Shield or another cheap PC and hook it up to a TV in your bedroom (if you have one). That...

    Looking for decent 1080p VESA compatible monitors for vertical setup - reading and productivity

    Hey, I don't know how set in stone you are at the 20" mark, but if you can budge a bit (this is 22.2") I just found a BenQ that seems like it would work. https://www.amazon.com/BenQ-GL2460HM-24-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00IKDFL4O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1494192933&sr=8-1&keywords=GL2460HM&th=1 I...

    EVGA GTX 1080 FTW Issues

    Hello, I have been having some weird issues on boot with my PC, and upon reading today I feel it may be due to the issue with the VRM heating issue with the 1080 FTW's. When I boot the computer up, maybe 50% of the time I will just get a pink and purple artifacting across the center of my main...

    Dual monitor problem

    Hey, Some programs will open as a default to the main screen. Typically if you drag the top bar to the left screen it will open on there and remember that for future instances of the program. As for changing the background on both screens, make sure you have an image with the correct resolution...

    Using Three Monitors on EVGA GTX 1080 FTW

    Hello, I have two monitors (currently connected 1xHDMI, 1xDisplayPort) on an EVGA GTX 1080 FTW. I am going to be purchasing a drawing graphics tablet that only has HDMI and DVI. Seeing as how the single HDMI port is being used, is anyone aware if I can run three monitors using 1xHDMI...
