    Question Broken RAM module wrecking motherboards?

    That's good to know in general. However, all of these RAM modules came out of scrap Lenovos that I had lying around that had previously been working (and I suspect that they were the original RAM for them for the most part, as all but one of the six used so far are identical), so they should be...

    Question Broken RAM module wrecking motherboards?

    I am trying to put together a computer out of some old parts that I have lying around. I have a few 2 GB DDR3-1333 modules that I want to install that I knew were previously working, but one or more of them now seems to be breaking the motherboard. The computer I want to set up is a Lenovo...

    [SOLVED] No signal to monitors

    So, it turns out it was a monitor issue. When I first started having trouble last night, the middle monitor was the first to not turn on, then the second monitor went out after that. I was just playing around between trying suggestions people were sending me; when I unplugged the two monitors...

    [SOLVED] No signal to monitors

    Hey everyone, I'm having some computer issues. Last night, my computer stopped sending signals to two of my monitors when I get it loaded up, but it recognizes that all three monitors are there at startup and when I check if there are monitors in the NVIDIA control panel, it sends a signal to at...

    Can you adjust RAM speed outside of BIOS?

    I recently had to turn down my RAM speed in order for my Oculus Rift to work properly. I don't know if that is an issue with my motherboard, or if that is something to do with the Oculus system itself, but I had to turn down the RAM speed from 2933 MHz to 2100 MHz to get it to work (it was...

    Second graphics card not working properly (slow speeds)

    I took a closer look at my previous benchmark results from 2016, and noticed that I was running on only one monitor. I ran the benchmark again with only the one monitor, and the results went back up (with even better results than two years ago in fact; score is now 4386 ). So I guess I should...

    Second graphics card not working properly (slow speeds)

    Hi Robert, thanks for your suggestion, but unfortunately it didn't solve the problem. I tried pulling the PCIe card and running the benchmark again, with no real difference. I also tried setting the computer back to more or less the state it was in after I built it (i.e. down to two monitors...

    Second graphics card not working properly (slow speeds)

    PSU is an RM750 from Corsair. I'll try pulling the PCIe card and see what happens, but there is currently nothing connected to it and it's not making a difference (plus I need it to run the Oculus, as for some reason it wouldn't work properly if I was just running on the USB ports on the MB)...

    Second graphics card not working properly (slow speeds)

    I am running two GTX 1070s in SLI, and I am noticed that I am having trouble with rendering with Blender (rendering a single simple object was running incredibly slow), so I ran benchmarking. I had previously used the Unigine Heaven Benchmark 4.0 when I first built my computer, and even though I...
