My PC is showing no video to neither of my monitors. This is an AMD-FX board so doesn't come with On-Board graphics. After traveling 200 miles the PC worked fine, and continued to work for 2 weeks. After bringing it back home the PC refuses to show video. The CPU, GPU. PSU all spin up, The...

I'm looking into PSU's for a build, and looking at Hybrid/Fullymodular's and it's hard to tell any difference, Both allow for wires to be removed, both have relatively the same efficiency's at the higher end. So is there a difference between the Fully Modular, Hybrid modular, and non-modular...

280x is also a great card. I own one myself. Most suggestions have been reliable so far.

All in the title really. My brother was DDOS'd on his xbox and obviously this affected me connection to my pc too. I'd like to be able to check if i'm getting DDOS'd or just losing connection is there a way i can check packets recieved through my router or anything?

How would I stop a single one from updating? otherwise i'd have to install em' one by one :p Nevermind figured out how. Gonna give updating all-but, a try.

I am getting sound, sound works fine, I just want to be able to get sound changers, i.e Bass boosts etc. I'm currently using Windows 7 64-bit ultimate. When i update via windows update, it'll get stuck at one of the updates can't remember which one, then after a while say it's finished and...

http://puu.sh/9dC8s/9ba07e460c.jpg <- Picture of problem. They're no enhancements in my speaker properties its just blank. My PC isn't very compatible with windows 7 for some reason, won't let me use windows update. I'm currently running windows ultimate. Is there anyway to fix this? Possible...

Well specifically speaking PCi 4.0 x16 only has speeds of 31GB/s so surely that would be bottlenecked too?

I have a AMD Radeon R9 280x which runs @ 32GB/s. Tons of forums say PCi 2.0 x16 can run this fine. But the speed per lane is 500MB/s? >> 8GB/s. But then even PCi 3.0 x16 only has a speed per lane of 15.75GB/s speed. Is there something i'm missing?

If I had some Branded RAM (Eg Corsair), and some ordinary unbranded RAM. Both having the same latency, same Capacity and speeds (MHz). Would they have any slight/major differences, besides looks, price and possible heatspreads?

I have tried manually setting the voltage on both DRAM and CPU/NB, as well as increasing to 1866MHz, and 1600Mhz, both times they failed. My friend suggested manually changing the timings?

I tried using EOCP, Selected 1866 and Automatic voltage, but it caused a boot fail.

I recently bought a new computer, Motherboard says it allows DDR3 - 1066 DDR3 - 1333 DDR3 - 1600 DDR3 - 1866 DDR3 - 2000(OC) The RAM I bought was Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB's @1866MHz It should be compatible, but when i run speccy it says its @671MHz (9-9-9-24). CPU: AMD FX 8350 Black Edition 8...
