    Question Computer Crashing after Replacing Ram/Upgrading from 8GB-16GB

    Another update. I still haven't received a blue screen yet, but the game is still consistently crashing. I did grab a USB stick and ran a Memtest86 test. 4 passes om=n all tests, 3 or so hours. NO ERRORS. It seems to be well established that if you don't get memory errors with this test...

    Question Computer Crashing after Replacing Ram/Upgrading from 8GB-16GB

    Hello, About a month ago bought two 8BG DIMMs of G.Skill Tridentz RGB from Amazon (F4-3200C16D-16GTZR, DDR4-3200 8GB 2x). Initially I had an issue with setting up the RAM. one stick would light and the other wouldn't. After several attempts re-seating it, I managed to get it to work. However...

    Screen going on black with 660 Ti shortly after boot into windows

    Another update. I've switched the 660 Ti's and the issue persists. I highly doubt they are both bad. I've updated the bios. I've updated the drivers to the latest. I've tried both PCIe slots. I've changed the PCIe power cables. Nothing. This is baffling. It could POSSIBLY be the PSU, but I doubt...

    Screen going on black with 660 Ti shortly after boot into windows

    Update. I used the HDMI to DVI. Same issue. I also took the second 660 out. Same issue. About to see if there are any BIOS updates for my BIOS, and reset to default settings. If that doesn't work then I will try using different 6 pin PCIe connectors.

    16 GB of RAM reading as 7.96

    I actually thought I was being careful by buying same brand, same speed same manufacturer. Guess I should be more careful. Before I saw this I bumped the voltage to 1.65. That didn't work. I left the voltage there and switched the sticks Surprisingly that DID work (I thought I switched...

    Wireless on One Computer Extremely Slow

    Update: In my room on that new laptop. Slow Speeds. 2 doors down (small apartment) in my office where the router is I"m getting 4 and 5 mbps. Not understanding why the heck I have to be so close to it for this to occur. I have full 6 bars in either location. Any ideas?

    Distorted lines and Blocks, Brand New Computer

    Update: Since putting in my old GTX 430 I haven't had any issues. For now I'll say that it was the vitro (Video) card that was screwed up. I've sent for a new XFX Radeon 7850 and will update again when I've received it.
