It turns out that my mobo was defective. After putting in the new parts, my rig is up and running! Now my only issue is that it takes nearly 2 minutes to even get to the mobo splash screen when I power it on, but I suppose I should so some more research on why that might be. Thanks again for the...

I've decided to just get my CPU and mobo exchanged. My motherboard should be arriving today but the CPU is arriving tomorrow. I'm tempted to test if the CPU was busted or if it was the mobo, but I'm a little hesitant to potentially damage anything, if that's even possible.

Gotcha. I was able to power it on using a screwdriver so it doesn't look like the case it the issue.

I'll go ahead and try that. I'm curious though, what would that do? I'm not sure what I'm looking for as a result. The computer powers on when I press the power button on my case so I feel like that might not be the issue, though I'll still give it a shot.

At the time I had already installed my graphics drivers, drivers for the m.2 nvme ssd's, and some of the peripherals. I think it is worth mentioning that I was also trying use my old SSDs (had 2 from my last computer so at one point I had 4) and one had windows on it. Having that plugged in...

I put together a new rig and was able to successfully start windows and everything seemed fine. After maybe about 30 minutes, out of nowhere my computer seemed to restart. My displays now have no input and I noticed that my keyboard had no power so I thought it was a PSU issue, though all of my...

Alright I got home and tried what you said with nearly no difference in performance when testing the same problem. In addition to that, I've also tried the following: Change refresh rate of 144hz to 120hz Running game in full screen (worked for like 30 seconds until I alt tabbed. I tested this...

I recently purchased a second monitor (ASUS VS248H-P) which is 60hz to accompany my main monitor (ASUS VG248QE) which is 144hz. The VS248H-P is connected to my GTX970, while I've connected the VG248QE to a brand new GTX1080. The problem I'm having is that whenever I am playing a game on my main...

Just wanted to post an update. I still have the problem, but I have some more information. It only seems to be happening in google chrome. Loading videos in the steam web browser for example works just fine. I've also found out that if a youtube video is playing and I resize the chrome screen or...

I recently bought a new monitor (which is 60hz) to use along with the primary monitor I've been using (144hz) and currently have one video card (GTX 970). When I connected both monitors to my one video card, I saw some very subtle performance issues and figured it might be a good idea to connect...
