I bought the ASRock tonight but can also get the ASUS online and be here Friday. For the same price, I just want to get the one that's best for the money and for what I'm using it for. If they're basically the same, I'll just keep the ASRock, otherwise, if the ASUS is better, I'll order it and...

I'm updating my system after 6 years. I only use my PC for gaming, mostly simulators, DCS, iRacing, etc. I have the 14th gen i5-14700K, 3080Ti, RMX750x PSU. I'm torn between the two listed MBs. I was originally going to go with the ASUS but nobody has it in stock near me and MicroCenter had...

All of my Com Ports have disappeared except COM1. They used to all be there and working fine. I'm not sure if a windows update deleted them all at some point or what. I was able to add them by using the "Add legacy hardware" function in the device manager. . Now that I have them all added...

For grins, I ran the PSA+ and got the following error code: 0142. 2000-0142. Hard drive 0 - self test unsuccessful. Status 79.

When I boot from the Windows disk, whether it's from Bios or F12 during startup, it says loading windows then the keyboard/language screen and then it goes to Windows 7 Install now screen that gives me the option to install now, What to know before installing windows or Repair your computer, it...

Finally got home and dug out my Windows 7 disk. Booted from the cd rom, cd loaded, clicked "repair your computer", it goes to the sky/blue screen and then hangs up there. I let it run all night and it was still stuck on that screen. Tried it once more, same outcome. Any other ideas???

Unfortunately I don't have the Windows 7 disc with me, I'm out of town. Nope, nothing In my disc drive or ports

I don't have any windows installation media with me at the moment unfortunately. I guess I'll have to wait until this weekend when I can get it. Anything else I can try before then or maybe download to a flash drive and boot from it?

I have a Dell laptop, running windows 7. It won't start up now all of a sudden. It says Root Cause Found No OS files found on disk. Repair action: Partition table repair. Result: failed. Error code=0x490. I've tried starting it in safe mode and it says " windows is loading files" and then goes...

Ok thanks. I'll stick with a true 1080 monitor. Is the Viewsonic monitor that you recommended much better than the BenQ-XL2720? I can pick up the BenQ today where as I have to wait until the end of this week for the Viewsonic, and I'm impatient.

I eventually plan on building a whole new system with a 1080 ti and triple screen or ultra wide side set up. Right now I just want a bigger screen but with smooth, fast graphics as best I can with the set up that I have now, without breaking the bank since I'll be doing that when I build my new...

Hey guys, the ViewSonic XG2701 that I ordered is going to take longer to deliver than initially quoted. I'm a pretty impatient guy and wanted something yesterday. I can pick up the Dell - 27" LED GSync Monitor S2716DGR on sale for $450, today. Will my system be able to benefit from the gsync and...

I decided on just upgrading my monitor for now and will be saving to do a complete system upgrade along with either a triple monitor set up or ultra-wide monitor in the future, depending on what the best option is at that time. Thanks again for all your help. I went ahead and ordered the...

Thanks again everybody for your answers and suggestions. It looks like since I don't plan on updating my system just yet, I'm better off just upgrading my monitor to a decent 27" to take advantage of what I do have right now. I could upgrade my GPU but it sounds like I'm only going to get a...

Thanks for all the answers so far guys, I really appreciate it. Like I mentioned in my original post, I'd like to go to a triple monitor setup someday in the near future, and it would be great if I only had to buy a new GPU once, one that would support that too. I'm guessing the recommended GPUs...
