    Question GPU in top PCIe slot causes black screen crashes

    Thanks for the suggestion! My motherboard does not support past gen 3 as far as I'm aware and this is with the most recent BIOS version.

    (Mobo and GPU) Need a new mobo and new gpu, not looking to break the bank

    Hello fellow tomshardware users, I need a new motherboard and a new graphics card for my PC, but I'm not particularly in the loop with new hardware that's been coming out and havn't been since around 2014, so I have no idea what my options are, My current GPU is very old (and surprisingly holds...
