I just upgraded to Windows 10 from Win 7, and am having the following problem: After sitting idle for several hours, the screensaver never activates and the display doesn't go into power save mode. I've tried numerous settings to resolve it, but with no luck so far. Currently the settings I'm...

Are you sure it's the number zero, and not the letter O?

Yep, sure did. Issue is that Windows Update is basically filling up your RAM by not releasing data from it when it's finished using it; this means that left alone long enough all of your RAM will be reserved for WU, so nothing else can use it. When it starts to happen, follow these steps to...

As for whether filters would be easy to install in your case; since the case has some oddly shaped intakes, the only option I've found that seems feasible would be custom fit filters. The ones I found are magnetic, so they should stay in place nicely...

If you're cleaning that often, I wouldn't say you NEED them, but they would certainly make your cleaning easier, and you probably wouldn't need to do it as often.

You need to connect both; one alone won't supply enough power to your graphics card.

I would use the ones on the website as they will be the most up-to-date; the disc is only as current as when it was made, and could have been sitting around for months. You only need the newest version of the driver for each piece of hardware.

On most laptops, there is a keyboard shortcut to change your display; if you tell me what model laptop you have, I can tell you what that keyboard shortcut is for sure, but on most it is Fn-F8. You should have a function key on the lower left of your keyboard, press and hold this key, then hit...

Two card SLI only works if all of the monitors are connected to the same card, so if you connected 6 monitors to the 2 different cards you wouldn't be able to enable SLI. That said, without the SLI enabled, it would still display to all 6 monitors. More info here...

Some games will display the FPS in a corner of the screen while you play; you can enable this in Steam for all of their games, and Blizzard has a keyboard shortcut to turn on in all of theirs. Alternatively, eVGA PrecisionX 16 will put an OSD up in most games as well. These all being options...

The eVGA SuperNova G2 series PSUs are top tier; you shouldn't have any problem with it at all. I use one of them in my system and love it, and I overclock my CPU and have multiple GPUs. 650W should be more than enough for your system as well, and leaves you some room for upgrades later also.

I don't know what to tell you; I'm out of ideas. The only thing I can think of is that because they aren't identical cards, it won't allow you to do SLI with them, but I've seen it done with cards much more different than the ones you have, so it baffles me that two cards as similar as yours...

So, have you tried connecting a monitor with DVI or DisplayPort?

The chip is probably fine, but you'd be hard pressed to get over 4.7GHz with a closed loop cooler. Most of the builds I've seen that hit 4.8GHZ or higher (and I've looked at quite a few since I have an 8350 with a closed loop cooler also) used custom liquid cooling setups. Also, 70C is above...

Can you see the POST screen and the BIOS, or not? Also, are you using the Crossfire cable, or not? I have the same motherboard, and the HDMI display I use always seems to come on later than it should, but I have always had a second display hooked up with either DVI or DisplayPort which came on...
