    New PC - Slow Boot Up Times

    Oh, I thought the SSD part was for booting of the system/programs, and the HDD for the storage. Must've got that confused somewhere. Like I said though, the motherboard takes a long time to initialise, after power on. That doesn't seem right to me...

    New PC - Slow Boot Up Times

    Woah, thanks for the quick replies, guys! I wanted a hybrid so I could have everything on one drive, for ease of use. So, what I'm experiencing is perfectly normal, then? :)

    New PC - Slow Boot Up Times

    Hi guys! I hope you're all well! So, just took the plunge and bought a new system from PC Specialist. Here's a screenshot of the specs: https://i.gyazo.com/07f0a652388599c2b9d6e6833ede4214.pn...

    Why Does The LG 29UM68 Have Black Bars On The Side?

    Fair enough, rgd1101. Masoner, yes it's set to that resolution.

    Why Does The LG 29UM68 Have Black Bars On The Side?

    Think it's a limitation of the monitor. rgd1101, whatever this rule is, I can't see evidence of it anywhere.

    Why Does The LG 29UM68 Have Black Bars On The Side?

    No idea why the previous thread was closed. No, it doesn't exceed the graphics card's capabilities. Like I said, I have a Nvidia GTX 960.

    Why Does The LG 29UM68 Have Black Bars On The Side?

    Why Does The LG 29UM68 Have Black Bars On The Side?
