Last night (and for several months) my PC was working just fine, but this morning I went to wake it up and nothing was responding, even holding the power button. It appears something went wrong overnight. What happened: I typically lock my computer before bed, letting the monitor go into sleep...

So I installed: I5 6400 asus z170-e Corsair vengeance DDR4 RAM MSI gtx 1060 6GB Everything is working fine except that my pc isn't recognizing my GPU (the fans of the GPU work, etc.) and I am running my display through the GPU. I didn't format, just uninstalled my previous AMD GPU's software...

I am looking to upgrade my computer, just get a brand new one, so I am looking to the GTX 1050Ti as my GPU of choice. A significant component of this is due to its low power usage, as I will be putting it in a pre-built HP PC with only a 300W PSU, so I don't want to bother with replacing the...

Hi everyone, I have to choose and prepare a new desktop to put in our lab for doing new simulations and, generally speaking, mathematical/physical applications (no gaming). I selected a few components with a total budget of 3000 euros. I will post it and I would like to receive some feedbacks...

Hi all, Before anything, I don't want to start a flame war so I'm not asking which one is better, ATI or NVIDIA. The question here is more subtle: many years ago I acquired a ATI card and while it was ok, it used to show artifacts in the screen some times and since I lived outside US without...
