  1. Yeah.. I've gone through 3 "problematic" gpus before changing my power supply and what i did is sell them at a low price stating that it has issues and if anyone is up for it they can try fixing it. This way you can make some money back and its not unethical since you clearly state it has issues. Buy a cheaper one and flip it when youre ready to buy something better.
  2. I had a gpu do the same to me but intermittently.. I would game for hours on end and it would do it the next day.. I took everything apart and reseated everything and it worked for some time. I was happy thinking that i fixed it like that but it soon happened again. I dont remember how long it took for it to die but it seems yours is down that road as well... The seller could have known about this and thought to be rid of it while it is still kinda working. It is also quite possible that static damaged it while you were doing the upgrade. Its not that common but it can happen.
  3. Since its been 3 years i id think the warranty has expired. If it has I dont see a reason for you not to open it up and check. It looks serviceable to me but that depends on if youre able to get the parts you need from the manufacturer and youll probably gonna need some tools to get it done properly.
  4. You could try using DDU to properly uninstall the previous gpu drivers and current and then install them again.
  5. Thank you both I'll change to a mobo with 4 dimm slots and go ahead with the order
  6. The price is good but the packaging does look subpar to say the least... Is it bubblewrap lined one the inside or just cardboard? Ebay has a pretty good money back policy so you should be fine.
  7. Hey guys, I've been tasked by my aunt to build her a pc for her print shop. She needs it to be all around speedy but lately all that means is having an ssd and a cpu made in the past 5 years.. I chose a R5 5600G with 16gb of 3200Mhz ram. The most demanding thing she will be doing with it is using coreldraw to mainly make posters and maybe a few chrome tabs in the background. I'm one step away from placing the order but there is one thing thats bugging me. Is the integrated gpu capable of running it smoothly for her kind of use? I understand that coreldraw is used for a lot of things and how it runs depends heavily on how complex the thing youre making is.. Also i checked the system requirements for it and i cant make sense of this "OpenCL 1.2-enabled video card with 3+ GB VRAM." Is the integrated gpu opencl enabled? What does it even mean? I searched for it on amd's website but couldn't find any mention of it anywhere. Just searching opencl on google gives me this "OpenCL™ (Open Computing Language) is a low-level API for heterogeneous computing that runs on CUDA-powered GPUs" Does that mean i need a discreet Nvidia gpu? Am i stressing for nothing? Sorry if its a stupid question but its not my money im spending and i need to make sure im not making a mistake. Thank you.
  8. Why not keep the mobo and just change the cpu to a R9 5900x at around 350 usd?
  9. Are you jumping the wire to power on the psu? Are you sure the gpu is getting power? As Johnno said the psu can run like that until the temperature rises enough for the fan to kick in. But afaik in order to power on the psu with out it being connected to the mobo you have to jump it.. Am i missing something?
  10. Its normal if that person is downloading at max speed or even worse uploading.. Is the other person on powerline as well or through other means? If youre both on powerline then maybe its a limitation of the device. Try doing a speed test with your phone close to the router or a laptop connected via ethernet while the other person is downloading. If the results are the same then you have to limit the maximum upload and download of that person. If they are using a pc it can be done easily through software otherwise you can try QOS settings on your router. It stands for "quality of service" and it mostly does what it says but it is implemented differently depending on the manufacturer so you will have to search the manual or something. Through software you can use Netlimiter 4 to set bandwidth limits on that persons computer. Some routers have that built you just have to identify all the devices on the network either by ip or mac address or sometimes they show the brand/name of the device. Hope this helps.
  11. I can see the difference in my monitor as well so its definitely not a monitor fault Check this thread here if you haven't already https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6237455/chrome-renders-colours-differently-from-safari-and-firefox
  12. Been there done that.. I surely am not qualified to answer this and for some it may be a quick command fix but man ive been where you are and i wasted hours trying every method i found on every guide out there with no success.. I suggest getting a second drive to install windows and migrate slowly there. "Literal weeks" i suppose you have a bunch of software installed and you dont want to loose your settings and whatnot. In that case you can probably run some of them straight from the installation folder and copy everything from the appdata folder over to the new one. I have done that in the past and got away with it. As the old drive remains intact you can keep trying to restore it when you have time or get it to someone that knows his stuff.
  13. I mostly agree with this 100% build one! It will be great for him and you to this together. Some things to note The cpu comes with its own cooler if you get the box so there is no need buy one separately. I would choose a different mobo to accommodate an M.2 ssd for example Asus PRIME H510M-E which is slightly more expensive. And if you do check the cpu compatibility in the manufacturers site just to be sure. You definitely should not cheep out on the psu.. I would get something thats at least bronze certified or gold if you can and avoid anything with less than 3 years warranty but ideally 5+. You can search for the psu tier list to look if the one you chose is on there and its rating. As for the case you can go really cheap if you want its up to you. Just make sure everything fits and it has the front io that you want for example usb 3.0 ports instead of 2.0. And check if fans are included, if not buy at least 2.
