Thanks for the suggestion. It does sounds to be a good way to isolate the problem. I was initially thinking if it could be the onboard graphics card giving problem (because of the VGA pop saw by my wife). But even if it is so, removing the graphics card will definitely help. As, if I still...

Thanks for the replies. When I changed the slot of the gpu, it did install the drivers again, is that good enough? And, neither cpu, ram has been overclocked. As for the gpu, it's stock settings but I'm not sure if it comes with overclocked. Thanks again. P/ PS: Sorry, I forgot to mention...

Hi, I would really appreciate some troubleshooting advice on my problem for my pc. I have rather old amd Phenom II x4 965 system. Just a few days back as the cpu fan is getting too loud, I went to buy an aftermarket cpu cooler. However, the installation requires me to unmount the motherboard...

Thanks! Will look for the options available.

My motherboard is ECS A790GXM-AD3 . It does support DDR3. I rea the manual again, it mention that during that time, there is only 2gb ram? Thus, only 2gb ram is tested, though it support up to 8gb on 1 slot

Thanks for the advice. But as it's rather difficult (expensive) to get hold of a 2gb ram, it seems that replacing all of them with a 8gb can be an alternative. The question is with a setup like mine, how much an increase in performance can I expect from upgrading the ram to 16 gb, will it be...

I have a 6 years old desktop using AMD Phenom II 965 which I used very often for daily mail, surfing and some programming work. It has been partially upgraded once to a 256gb SSD and an additional 4gb ram. Data is still on HDD. Currently, the ram config is a 2x2gb + 1x4gb = total 8gb However...

Sorry, the motherboard does not have a DVI port. It only has a HDMI and a VGA.

Sorry, do you mean you don't think the motherboard has multi display support? I can't seems to find on the manual to say whether it support or don't. But on the AMD site, it does says that the Radeon HD 3000 series supports multi-display...

Sorry, I would like to asked a follow up question on this problem. I do think that it is possible to resolve by configuration because I just managed to get it work for a session again. (In fact, twice) I somehow try to duplicate the screen and notice that either the display driver or Catalyst...

Greatly appreciate your help.
