UPDATE: DDU Safemode, Installing driver version 446.14, restarting has solved the issue. However now I'm stuck on a dated driver...

A little backstory on what happened: Playing R6 Siege, game crashes once during game play, crashes second time sometime later, and as R6 crashing is very rare I decide to update the drivers to 452.06. Updates prompt restart so I restarted and now attempting to run any Direct X11 game in...

After adding a new Samsung 860 EVO 1TB to my Asus G751JM. (Laptop has two hdd/ssd slots). I used the Samsung Data Migration software to transfer the C: partition to the SSD. The original harddrive had a C: and D: partition, and the C: partition was copied to the SSD. After the copy, I swapped...

The 5 beep CPU error has gone away. The PC has been working fine for about 3.5 weeks, and upon inspection I cannot find any blown looking capacitor. I had ran hot CPU tester, and it didn't crash, and other Intel utilities that all passed. Everything looks and works fine, the only issue remains...

Yes I have tried without the fan and the issue still occurs. I had also tried leaving the CPU power cable disconnected but the PC wouldn't beep at all. I had also noticed that the BIOS would get reset.

The Fan connector had a 4 pin psu connector and a 3 pin coming out of it. I had thought that the mobo could control the speed and the psu would power it but thats not what was happening. Either way, I switch to the motherboard, and the fan looks perfectly fine. However I noticed that whenever I...

OK, I checked the the voltages on the mobo health screen. Images: https://imgur.com/a/p5lxPa4 I don't believe I dropped or lost any screws, and shaking the pc, made no screw rattle noise. The Pop happened after the third reboot, I was just in the BIOS, however I couldn't see any flash. Opening...

OK, I had to go to school so I coudn't have tested any longer. So the next day I tried the paper clip thing, and disconnected everything but the deep cool fan. Swithching the PSU on, the fan started up normally. UPDATE: I've turned on the PC again. Everything seems to be working fine. It it...

Is it possible that one of the cables go shorted on the case itself? The PSU is a semi-modular one, and the 24pin and the cpu ones were the only necessary ones, so they had to be connected to the correct ports.

After finally assembling everything, and some troubleshooting to boot, my new pc made a loud sudden "pop" noise and shutoff. Everything was new except two old HDD from my old computers. Now I'm too scared to try and turn the PC back on. I was just in the BIOS trying to figure out how to boot a...

"Dynamic Super Resolution renders a game at a higher, more detailed resolution and intelligently shrinks the result back down to the resolution of your monitor, giving you 4K-quality graphics on an HD screen." - Nvidia. Aka: Shrinking or downscaling. According to Wikipedia upscaling is when you...

Yes i know that 4:3 Resolutions wont fit into 16:9. What I want is that the GPU outputs the lower resolution without upscaling it. Then my benq monitor will stretch the image to 16:9 itself.

Small problem, I have a 860M, and whenever I run csgo on a lower resolution than native, the gpu automatically upscales the resolution to 1080p with black bars. Also, having different refresh rates also affects the problem, because on 1024x768@120 the GPU outputs 1024x768 120hz. However it...
