    Can i use different ram sticks with same frequency/voltage/manufacturer?

    You don't need to go with the exact same stick in order to work right... usually you would want matching pairs to ensure they are giving you the absolute best performance possible as a pair. When overclocking this is more of an issue and it's nice to get matched set pairs per channel whenever...

    Looking to upgrade the old gaming rig

    I had a GTX580... it compared to a system I built with a GTX750ti in it on DX11 titles although at lower 720p resolutions. I have a 2GB HD7850 which was on par with most modern games as it. I threw the GTX580 into a build for one of my younger sons friends because he wanted a good WoW machine...

I'll outline how to perform...

    I know that this is an older post but I just wanted to chime in with my experience with this exact same issue. Allbeit with a different AMD card. I have an AFOX single slot HD7850 that I got from a friend that had the same exact symptoms. In his case he used it for years without issue then one...

    Having HDMI issues

    When you plug a TV in to HDMI on a laptop one of two things should happen first off. a) the TV should be recognized and turn on while the laptop screen turns off or b) the TV will be recognized and turn on and the laptop screen will stay on as well. Assuming the latter has happened in your...

    Can't get to BIOS

    The first splash screen you remember when you first built the machine would definitely have the way to access the Bios because there would have been no OS present to boot into. Thus disconnecting the OS boot drive will definitely be a solution to get in initially. The easier workaround solution...

    Computer having too many freezing issues

    So the bios flash seemed to do the trick then things started getting wonky again after a little time? I don't have any experience with that specific motherboard. I just did some quick researching online with the search string "ASRock 970 Extreme3 R2.0 Random Restart" and things got a little...

    Computer having too many freezing issues

    Well I really would think this is more than likely due to the Motherboard itself. There is a chance that the bios has become corrupted. It may be a compounded problem where the other issues and restarting and such could have created the corrupted bios issue... but all in all... a quick fix would...

    Computer having too many freezing issues

    There really are a lot of things this could be related to. I am leaning toward it may be more of a hardware related issue though sometimes drivers for hardware can create such issues as well. Simple place to start and I am sure you are very aware of this and have probably already gone over...

    AMD Phenom II x6 1100T overclocking gone horribly wrong! Please help!

    Hi there Jake1Master. I know that this is an older post but I actually have the same CPU and similar Gigabyte Motherboard (ga-770ta-ud3) as you are using. I'm not sure if this is already a fixed issue or if you gave up trying to fix this thing by now or what but I can definitely try to give...
