    Question "Beep" error codes for Lenovo IdeaCentre 5-14IOB6 Desktop - Type 90RJ

    What types of video outputs (e.g., HDMI, VGA, etc.) does your computer support? Does it rely solely on integrated graphics? Which output is your monitor connected to? If possible, I recommend testing a different output to see if it results in any changes.

    Question PC shuts off one time before booting normally ?

    Question Gigabyte Z77 D3H Bios keeps corrupting

    May I suggest replacing the CMOS battery. In some motherboards, a dead battery will result in a BIOS checksum error and force it to load the backup BIOS. However, I cannot verify if this is applicable in your case.

    [SOLVED] DVI to DP

    Yes, it should definitely work. You can either connect via DisplayPort or DVI-D to achieve 1920 x 1080 @ 144Hz. In this case, since both options are available, I agree with your previous assessment that the DisplayPort option is better than the DVI-D. No adapter is required.

    May I add one thing. When you do the Windows installation, only connect the drive (e.g. SSD) which you plan to install Windows on. All the other drives should be disconnected. After the installation is complete, you can then reconnect the other drives and set them up accordingly.
