So I recently have tried building a PC. My dad got a motherboard from work and says it's a gaming motherboard although its quite old. I got a newer moniter a dell 144hz. I dont know if it's a problem with the motherboard but that's what I assume. I have everything else; graphics card, harddrive, cpu, power supply. I just dint know what it is. My dad thinks it's a frequency problem but I dont know. Quick note he is extremely stubborn so convincing him is very hard. I was unsure about the motherboard but didnt have a choice.
