Endless blue screen of death after updating BIOS and new CPU on Asrock AB350M Pro4 motherboard Began the process of upgrading from a 2600x to a 5600x cpu this week. Would’ve probably been completely painless except it required several BIOS updates to the motherboard to make it compatible with...

Ok so I just grabbed a 2nd Acer AL2223W monitor on eBay to pair with my original one so I could enjoy a 2 screen setup at home. My first screen is connected to the 4870 via DVI cable. The latest one is connected via VGA cable and I use a VGA-DVI converter to connect it to the 4870. For some...
