The GTX260 is an XFX - a big, black and green, PCIe-sagging machine haha And the 1050 has gone back in the other machine - where it still works fine... and this leads me to my conclusion. I have given up! After two full wasted days of troubleshooting this situation I have simply concluded...

Thanks for the recommendations, problem is I'm fixing this for someone else. They've already had to pay for a new PSU and they aren't really looking to pay for new components if possible so I'd love to get it fixed or at worst, just swap the motherboard lol. Might be it - I've managed to find...

Ready to start pulling your hair out too? Ready to go looking for that 10% uncertainty? My problem is I don't think I've ever replaced a card that hasn't broken first. But after digging through the depths I've uncovered my monstrous old GTX260... possibly -the only- card I've ever replaced...

Motherboard is an Asus P5N-D. I was thinking of maybe getting some faster RAM instead of more. I could order a Coolermaster Hyper 212 evo right now if you think it's really that good, and I'll start looking into overclocking. Should I go for the new Card or just try overclocking my current...

Hey guys! I've been using this machine for editing videos, playing games ETC for the past few years now, and it's been holding up well but it's starting to show its age on some of the newer more graphics-intensive games on higher settings so I was thinking of doing some minor upgrades to keep it...
