But I wonder how it can still boot into Windows 7 even though the system cannot see the card. I've seen lots of cases in forums and the other cards cannot Post. That's why I have hope that the card is still working somewhat. Otherwise the rig won't even boot.

@rgd1101 unfortunately, there's no display output from HD 7990, so no I cannot boot to safe mode with that. I can boot to safe mode with HD 7950 as primary adapter, but even so, the 7990 never showed up at all. And very strange, HD 7990 by itself can boot into Windows even there's no Integrated...

Hi, I was playing Rise of the Tomb Raider when all of a sudden the screen went completely dark ("no signal"), no warnings displayed, and rebooted. After this, the monitor continued to display"no signal", but I can hear Windows welcome/boot up sound. The motherboard has no Integrated graphics...

I was playing Rise of The Tomb Raider using the said GPU. The game crashed in the middle and the system rebooted. It booted into windows because I can hear the login sound. However, the screen is blank after that. My mobo has a second pci-e slot, so I booted with my old HD 7950 into windows...

Hello folks, I'm looking for a budget PC build supporting dual CPUs, inspired by a Techspot article. It'll be mostly video encoding with x265 with Handbrake, (to rip and compress a bunch of good old TV shows and old movies that we collected for 3 decades at least). it takes a lot of CPU power...

I have checked mono from Asus website and it's compatible with both the i5 and Xeon. I have all the hardware in hands (except the i5 or Xeon depends on my choice) already and my rig has been running for more than a month. I know 8gb ram may be a problem but not in recent future. Why would you...

I would say it's for pure gaming. 4460 would save me $20 but I've heard that haswell refresh has slightly better IPC than the original. When I mention future proof, I am talking about DX12 which may takes advantage on more CPU threads. So for the 2016 if any major title have DX12 support I...

Due to the budget constraint at the beginning I only put up a system like this: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Pentium G3258 3.2GHz Dual-Core Processor ($86.99 @ NCIX) Motherboard: Asus H81M-A Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($75.00 @ Vuugo) Memory: Patriot...

The trend is: since fallout 4 requires a physical quad-core especially like an i5 as minimum, i3 probably not gonna cut it in future next-gen, not mentioning a g3258

Don't think they will fix the notorious g3258 issue in this build, eh? (Google "g3258 windows 10" and u could see tons of ppl who has g3258 and cheap non-z motherboard can't install Windows 10)

Thank you for fast reply guys! I cleared the CMOS by jumper. Yup I may want to try waiting method though. Sounds like a gud idea. I had the USB keyboards so probably mr5oh is right as that wreck the update. I indeed has pull out the mb already and wait for RMA but still if I can get this out I...

Hi folks, I recently put up a cheap gaming base (and awaiting the new graphic card), the specs are as follow: Pentium G3258, MSI H81M-P33 MOBO 2*4GB Patriot 1600 Seagate ST2000DM001 Antec VP-450 PSU ANtec 3000E Case So here's the nightmare: I have a windows 8.1 copy and try to upgrade to...

Thx for reminding me about the Thermaltake stuff, I haven't quite realized b4 I hvnt heard FD well b4 but CM is quite good making coolers, cases and PSUs(sorta). Is FD a reliable brand? And thank god we have gtx 950! Though it's launch price is quite rediculous in Canada ($210 minimum) vs US...

Thank you for the input. I wonder what's the advantage of B85 chipset compared with H81, will there be more power phases or just more ports like USB 3.0 and sata iii? I chose cooler master 361 cuz it also designs to put horizontally. My residence is quite tight and I would like to put my rig...
