I'm looking to upgrade my monitors and need a bit of help. I do a lot of graphic work (photoshop, zbrush, etc.) so that's really my main concern. I have a tablet monitor that I use for most of that work, but I would like for my other monitors to be nice as well. I do game somewhat casually...

@scout_03: no I haven't, I honestly never even thought about that until you mentioned it. I'll have to dig for my key, but I'll look into doing that now! @SgtScream: no, I wasn't able to get to the bios at all

I received some new components for the holidays but hadn't had the chance to install them until now. They are an i7-5820K, ASRock X99 Extreme4 ATX LGA2011-3, and some ram. I powered down my computer, unplugged everything, replaced my old components with the new ones, and powered it back up. The...

thanks so much for the input so far! Thank you for the information on the gtx 970! I wasn't aware of how it compared to the other two, but now I think I'll suck it up and spend a little more for the 970, or wait the few days for 960. Unfortunately, due to my current project deadlines, I need my...

As a sort of 'head's up' I'm pretty new to computer things. I got my current setup secondhand from my boyfriend's friend without any real details about it; my boyfriend is much more tech savvy than I am and assured me that the machine could do everything I needed it to (work, casual gaming). I'm...

Ouch. Yeah, that definitely warrants an upgrade. I had to dig a little, but I'm pretty sure this is everything GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3P AM3+/AM3 AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard AMD FX-6300 Vishera 6-Core 3.5GHz CORSAIR XMS3 4GB (2 x 2GB) xion xon-700p12n geforce gtx 470 Western...

That's unfortunate. My power supply is a xion xon-700p12n, and I'm afraid I don't have another around. As for my budget, I'm currently in school so funds are a bit tight. I would say I could afford up to $200 or so.

Thank you both for your prompt responses! I followed your advice, sincreator, and retried DDU+reinstall and everything seemed to be working smoothly. I got to my desktop, but after a few minutes a 'monitor going to sleep' message popped up and my computer shut down/restarted. On the restart, it...

I've been trying to troubleshoot this problem for the past few hours and I still haven't managed to figure out how to fix the issue. I'm kind of at the end of my rope and I really need my desktop functional for work. Any and all help would be extremely appreciated. In a nutshell, my problem is...
