Hello! I've seen this question answered before but I feel like mine might be a slightly different case. I tried the solutions there (deleting/updating drivers and checking resolution settings) but nothing worked. Ever since I installed my new GPU and CPU (Nvidia 1060 GTX 3gb and AMD Ryzen5...

I recently received an old desktop computer from a family member which contains parts from around 2006. The plan is to use it as my main PC even though the parts are old, since the rest of the components are still working and perfectly fine for what I would use them for. It contains a Corsair...
