All right, thank you.

Yes, the computer has a dedicated graphics card. The problem I'm encountering with the BIOS right now is that the listed BIOS under the BIOS Setup isn't matching anything I can find on the website. The MOBO lists it's bios as "E7A34AMS.1G0" with a date of "03/16/2018". Microcode/CPUID...

My problem was that it wouldn't boot at all in the original configuration, so I wasn't able to update the bios. No monitor signal, no nothing. I contacted G.Skill for warranty assistance already, but: On the back of my RAM stick it says: 882 F4-2133C15D-8GVR 04213X4841A 2018 Jul SN...

I recently purchased an AMD Ryzen 5 1600, an MSI Tomahawk B350, and two sticks of G.Skill DDR4 RAM (2x4). Once everything was in place, the system would not boot. The fans turned on, the CPU fan turned on, etc. This is not an indicator of anything though. The CPU light came on, indicating a...

Update: Completely removed all drivers and software, full restart (power off, then on), and installed 18.5.1 instead of 18.6.1. So far it's working. I'm unsure of what happened to Fallout 4 (where the whole computer locked up), but the gamma changing issue from WoW (changing any graphics...

I'm unsure how to go about finding previous drivers. Would I find those on the AMD site? Or is that something that third parties keep legacy copies of for situations such as this?

Edit: Clean install drivers, rolled back to 18.5.1. Not sure if the original problem is present or not, since it happened randomly before. All is well, but the colors still get washed out whenever I change settings in a game. CPU: Core i5-3570k (3.4GHz) GPU: Gigabyte Aorus 4GB RX 580...

Thanks for the assist on explaining that. I was just a bit confused, haha. (Thanks for thinking of me. It's a lung thing, so maybe a bit of time, maybe a bit less. No way to be sure at this stage, and maybe something lucky will happen.)

Not to sound horrible, but I don't expect to need to future proof, for certain reasons. So I'm not necessarily worried about how the card will perform 3-5 years from now. (Illness) I'll check these out, thanks for all the replies. I'll mark the solution I pick in an hour or so. If anyone else...

I'm looking to upgrade a Radeon HD 7950. Unfortunately the fans are, essentially, ticking time bombs (they're clicking and wobbling constantly now). I have ~200-250 USD, and can not go above this. What kind of cards can I get, what kind of performance improvements can I expect? I'm running...

Er, I guess what I meant was: How much of an upgrade is it? I understand it's the best one I can afford, but I guess I'm not sure how far it will go. Is there somewhere I could compare the gaming performance between the two?

Hmm! I'll look into that. Would that motherboard support future Intel CPU Upgrades/graphics upgrades? The graphics card is 'new'. Like I said, I don't really speak AMD, so I'm not clear on a lot. Is this a good upgrade for that price?

Motherboard: ASROCK FM2A75 PRO4 APU: AMD A8-5600k GPU: Geforce GTX 970 RAM: 16GB I'd like to upgrade my fiance's CPU for christmas this year, but I don't really speak AMD at all. I'm not sure what would fit into his motherboard, or what would be a good upgrade. Would be willing to swap out...

Also a more indepth view if this helps I guess. windows 7 screenshot
