One of the first things I tried, I'm afraid. Even re-running the HDMI device setup from scratch with the new TV makes no difference. My guess is that what the PS3 thinks are the correct settings and what the TV actually requires are different. No idea what specific settings to try, but the...

Hello all, Just got a new Hisense TV, and I hooked up a fat PS3 with HDMI to use as a streaming device. I had zero issues with this on my old TV, but now I get no audio. I get perfect video, but no audio on either the menus or the streaming apps. I logically assume that this is due to the...

Thanks for the help, everyone. It was the cheap ram I bought that was ruining everything. I'm so glad I don't have to take the whole thing apart again to swap out the motherboard.

Good to know. I'm a complete idiot when it comes to ram, if you couldn't already tell. I can drop my old ram (which is 2x8) in there and see what happens when I get home.

Is it possible that just a ram issue could even cause the full-scale problems I'm seeing? Also is there a way to attach video of exactly what happens on start-up?

16gb, one stick. I don't run any processes that require more and don't anticipate needing more for the foreseeable future.

One stick, and I've tried slots 1&4 with no difference. As for DDR4_1 or DDR4_2, I honestly have zero idea. I can't find any info on which it is, and I didn't know there were different specs for that.

Any ideas? Because I can't make heads or tails of this.

If that is the genuine issue, then I have a serious beef with Gigabyte, considering that they prominently say "Ryzen 3000 ready" in their advertising and on the box for this motherboard. That said, I have nothing else to go on, and if I take it by a shop, then they can do that as well as...

It's a thermaltake toughpower 750w that I bought about 2 years ago. In that time it's seen only about 1.5 years of actual use due to me not bringing my desktop overseas for a while.

Specs on build: Ryzen 7 3700x Aorus B450m mobo 16gb 2933 MHz ram Gigabyte 5600 XT 6gb GPU Alright, so no display at all on boot, GPU fans not spinning, DRAM and CPU status LEDs coming on (DRAM led in particular is constant). Despite this, all other fans are spinning, including the CPU cooler...

I just built a new PC, and I carried over the HDD from my old PC, including the OS. Whenever I boot up, my keyboard and mouse are working, but once the Windows 7 screen pops up, they shut off and I cannot do anything. The motherboard I have is a MSI B150M Mortar, and as previously stated, I run...

I have Windows 7 installed on my SSD, and just today I installed Linux (specifically Manjaro) on my HDD, mainly so I can experiment with it. If both were installed on my SSD, which I would have preferred, but which isn't an option, I should be able to select which one I want to boot on startup...

I had a random thought pop into my head. How do 4 GTX 960s in SLI compare to 2 GTX 980s in SLI (with the same CPU obviously)? I'm still relatively new to PC building and I don't know how specs "stack" when installing multiple GPUs. What I'm interested in is how they compare in 4k.
