Hello, I just took two hard drives (one SSD and one HDD) out of my old computer and added them into my new computer. They are visible in the BIOS, but when I try to find them in Disk Management in Windows, they don't appear at all - not even as black-colored drives (not sure if that stands for...

I believe the crisis is averted. After a clean install of Windows 10 and updating all the drivers and such, it was still flickering when plugged into my GPU. However, when I switched to displayport instead of HDMI, all my problems went away. I will see after a while of use if the HDMI still is...

I used a flash drive with Windows 10 from the Microsoft store. I can just go that route.

Right, yes that would be a better plan. Thank you!

Update to all: First of all, I walked away from computer building a few years ago and remember Tom's being a good community. Things haven't changed. Thank you all so much for your support. I was able to bring my computer to the point where I get a display for less than a full second at a time...

Yeah, I didn't know that. I hope the above suggestion works; I would be kind of terrified if it started to look more like a hardware problem. However, given that everything had been working up to that point, I feel like it should be more of a software thing. Still, thank you for your support lol...

This sounds doable. I'm using Windows 10 currently. I will try to do this later tonight when I get home.

Alas that I must be asked this. Yes, I did. My foolishness can't be far off, though.

I'm building a new computer. I have a 7800X3D and an RX 7900XTX. I cannot get anything to display at all on my screen after it previously had been working. I installed my CPU, RAM, etc. and verified that everything would post. I got into the BIOS but changed nothing. I unplugged everything and...

This is a quote from the article about the Threadripper family of CPUs today. Why would someone populate a motherboard with more RAM than is usable by the system? "Threadripper features independent dual-channel memory controllers, one per die, that combine to provide quad-channel support with...

Black and white are good colors to stick with if you want a lot of lighting. Ultimately, it's your aesthetic preferences that matter. I'm sure it'll look great!

I put an SSD in my brother's computer - the SK Hynix drive. It cut boot times from over three minutes (granted, the HDD was old) to under 30 seconds. In regard to RAM, it's easy to throw in an extra stick. Migrating to a new storage drive can be more of a pain. Also, for just gaming, 8 GB is...

I agree with Elbert. An SSD is a very important piece that really improves user experience. The 850 EVO is my recommendation, but there are cheaper drives that also are great like the SK Hynix SL308. I would even go so far to say that you could hold off on buying an HDD for bulk storage and pick...

In the US at least, the RX 470 is going for $175 including shipping. Tom's has a good review you should check out. That would be my suggestion. 6-pin PCI-e connector required. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-radeon-rx-470,4703.html
