Your motherboard must auto check then to see if there is a Pci-e graphics card in the slot. If you can put the R9 card in and connect the extra power needed for the card. So when you fit the GTX 1060 card and connect the six pin power required for it. Try lifting the 1060 card up slightly...

It is often a sign that either the gpu of the card is getting too hot, or the memory of the card. cleaning the card and it`s cooling solution on it by removing any dust buildup should prevent the card from doing the same thing as you were seeing because the air flow of the card will be better.

What your looking at in the picture is where a capacitor of the circuit board used to be soldered to the cards board. The capacitor has exploded due to heat, or liquid leakage. You can also see to the right of the big blob of solder a surface mounted resistor that has been burned to death and...

If the board has DDR3 capability along with dual channel memory mode the default slots on both for the first matched pair of memory sticks should be Dimm A1 and Dimm B1 . Once you have the system up and running enter the bios setup and check the mode set for memory population of the slots of...

Hi I don`t understand why people are buying RX 480 cards when they have R9 290X cards. A 290 X card has more stream processors than a RX 480 graphics card by Ati. The R9 290 X card is more power full with 2816 stream processors vs a RX 480 with 2304. Plus a R9 290x series has a 512bit bus vs a...

It would help if you quoted what cpu you were using an Intel or Amd one, plus the model number of it mark. And also mentioned what cpu cooler is being used on the cpu. In both cases if a Intel cpu or an Amd model. And using the stock cooler that comes with each type of cpu. 40c at Idle and up...

If your sure the sticky on the back side of the RX 480 card is the only one. You can find it on the sticker of the box it came in on one of the sides, or it will be silk screen printed on the physical circuit board of the card in white ink it`s self ok.

I hope you do understand how SSD flash drives work Wcrockett. If a SSD drive has had a hard life, on the amount of data written to it and read from it for each days use. Then it highly likely that the drive will fail withing its state operational life hours, or online up time. SSD drives do...

While it is true Amazon should not of advertised the parts as in stock, and confusing along with annoying this is what happens when most new bit`s of technology are released. You were basically in a queue Jack it should of been obvious to you that the term first come first served would be the...

Seasonic are about the best quality built power supplies you can by, with high quality components used in them. Poplkalfy.

It is likely if you have checked all power needed from the cpu to the motherboard is connected as the other poster says Gormal, that the motherboard currently does not have the right bios firmware revision number to support the Kaby Lake cpu you have also bought for you new system build. As...

If you changed the cpu and your graphics card, Then I would highly recommend that you do a clean fresh install of the windows os. I would also check that the cpu cooler is correctly fitted to the new 8320 cpu and the temps are checked to make sure the cpu is not throttling due to to excess heat...

You have double checked that the Dvi cable is Dual link wired Nicolo ? That it is a Digital Dvi dual link monitor cable. Other wise when the monitor switches from the Standard 60Hz frequency by default to 144Hz all you will get is a no signal message. looking at the Dvi pin end all of the...

Well it could be down to without you knowing the that the Cpu is down clocking in speed due to amd cool and quiet or any other option in the bios to reduce the frequency or load on the cpu. Also try turning off any wait state commands or functions in the bios to do with keeping the cpu cool...

Whit out a doubt a cheap power will, and can cause cause you all manner of problems. Simply avoid paying a very cheap price for a power supply that quotes it has a high wattage output. There is a list on toms forums that have about 40 or more power supply`s that are good quality and have been...
