Replacement screen arrived today - exactly the same issue. Turns out that this screen doesn't like HDMI cables...! I've switched over to displayport and the issue is gone.

Hi all New monitor - Asus Tuf gaming VG259Q. Picture looks great but I've noticed a slight issue. When I've got Call of Duty running, and set the screen refresh rate to 144hz in the settings, I then get some moving blue distorted pixels down the left hand side - photo below. When I set the...

Anyone? Is this posted in the wrong forum?

Hi mate, thanks very much for your help with this. Turns out that my old card still works perfectly with the adapter! Photos here :) https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/help-me-spec-a-pc-build-havent-built-one-in-10-years.3557581/page-4

A few photos! @Vic 40 My soundcard works perfectly with the adapter. I used a long screw and washer to secure it in place. One of the ports is not usable now but I never used it anyway. Very glad I went for a newer motherboard and an adapter instead of older motherboard with a PCI socket.

Still have the high CPU usage from taskhostw. It's not causing any problems right now, but surely it's not right that windows is flagging it as an error?

Oh, I forgot to mention - on the first windows install, I did install all the drivers from the motherboard support page. Performance monitor was then also showing an error with a service called "Proset", which is related to the intel LAN network drivers. That error has gone now, as I haven't...

Which drivers should I install from here? https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B450-GAMING-PRO-CARBON-AC#down-driver&Win10%2064 There's: -Audio -Bluetooth (already working through windows) -Wifi (already working through windows) -AMD Chipset (installed from AMD.com) -AM4 Raid driver (not...

Thanks

Thanks for the reply :) The iFi Zen DAC does look nice to be fair. The input is a USB though? I was expecting an optical input. So I would plug it into my computer with a USB --> USB cable and then set it as an audio device? Haven't dealt with a device like this before! I'm not bothered about...
