    Mobo gets no power, boots with a workaround .

    Ha! I wish it was as simple as replacing the CMOS battery- already put in a brand new one. Thanks for advice though. Since I already made up my mind on upgrading, I will definitely wait for 3rd gen Ryzen to come out first- it's looking very promising. Relating to my problem, I will be taking out...

    OK guys, I've an interesting one. Came back home after a weekend away, went to turn on the PC and it just wouldn't have it... No life whatsoever... No LEDs, no fan activity, nothing... Checked the continuities on the power button to header pins- yup button works. First thought, psu is dead...

    Steal This Keyboard: Input Club’s K-Type Is On Massdrop

    How is this better than let's say Logitech G910? I don't understand people buying this kind of stuff. Every now and again I get an email from Massdrop, and there are always keyboards available to buy, of the same design, just different colours. They are not ergonomic, have to extra features...

    Need to find out if a Windows product key is used.

    Why can't you verify it through Microsoft? They have a special line for activating Windows, it's free of charge, and all the times I tried it, it worked flawlessly.

    GTX 1080 Not Recognized on ASUS Hero VIII

    Definitely check in in another system before you RMA, you seem to be doing everything right... So it might be just DOA :/

    Upgrade from 4770k to 7700k make sense?

    That's weird... But to be honest, I upgraded from gtx780, and I found little performance boost... Not as much as I was expecting anyway... Might reinstall Windows, check how I get on, if it doesn't get better I will RMA...

    Why is my desktop so large? (The text and display are larger than before)

    Are you sure that you have your video cable plugged into the GPU, and not the on-board graphics? Also, did you disconnect your monitor? Maybe Windows is going into "projecting" mode when you're plugging in your TV, then in the settings you would have two separate resolution sliders, for both the...

    Upgrade from 4770k to 7700k make sense?

    I got 4770k with gtx1080, and arma 3 is unplayable on ultra, on high i get 50-60fps, but it lacks fluidity... and that's in 1080p.

    Just bought new graphics card but cant install drivers

    You need to uninstall your previous graphics card's drivers, that's why you're seeing a problem.

    PC won't boot without weird sequence.

    I would recommend Windows re-installation... And then see what happens from there on You say you're having problems with your PC for a long time... It's going to take you around 30min to reinstall Windows 10. Grab a spare HDD, copy all your important data (that's if you only have 1 partition)...
