Might be crashing due to lack of memory. Recommended spec is 16GB memory. I remember Hardline crashing on me because I only had 8GB. Maybe try checking memory usage while in game. If it's at a constant 100% that could be your issue.

The motherboard has the necessary expansion slot to accommodate the graphics card. Just make sure you follow HappyGamer99's advice regarding the case and the power-supply.

Enermax? Weren't they pretty low on the tier list?

Thank you. Logging in has always been a little dodgy, especially on mobile.

After doing some digging, I came across this thread on HP's forums: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/M2N68-LA-Narra5-CPU-upgrade/td-p/3135125 If the answer is to be trusted, it would appear that the motherboard in question already has proper BIOS support for...

- Be sure the graphics card you purchase is short enough to fit in the case; OEM cases are often tight on space. Take measurements and do your research. amtseung's suggestions of a 1050/Ti or RX 460/470 are good. They will be a nice match for a Phenom II. Thankfully, many lower-power graphics...

It will run the game, but not very well. You will need to tone-down the CPU-centric tasks of the game to get to run fluently. I cannot recommend purchasing such an old chip for a relatively new game. If you are looking build budget, it would in this case be better to build with an AMD Athlon...

While I can't say what might be causing the problem, there are a couple things you can try. 1) Remove and firmly reseat (plug back in) the memory. Make sure the stick (or both/all sticks) are properly seated. 2) Remove and firmly reseat the graphics card. This probably won't change anything...

Ahem. The i5-4590 is a good chip. I speak from experience because that's what in my system right now. The 750 Ti will run games on Ultra at 1080p. But it will not get you 60FPS. You will probably see framerates more in the range of 20-30. For 60FPS you will have to drop most games down to...

They're both great cards. The cooling solutions on Zotac cards are not always stellar but they're by no means bad. Go with whatever your gut says.

Really sorry it took so long to reply. I was working on my own machine. Your PC won't have any chance of booting if you don't have the case power lead plugged into the front panel header correctly. Please follow this link and perform the steps listed. It is lengthy but chances are you can...

The pins on ATX power connectors are shaped in such a way that they can only be inserted one way. You will also notice that there is a small clip on one side of the power connector; this should snap into another clip on the motherboard. If you are certain that the 24-pin is inserted correctly...

I highly doubt it is a broken part, as long as you were careful. And while DOA parts do happen, they are few and far in-between. Since there are no lights on the motherboard, it is likely that the motherboard is not recieving any power. First, check to make sure the power supply is turned...
