    You have a Z87 board and a "Z97" CPU, try it could be that the BIOS does not support Devil's Canyon CPUs without a BIOS update.

    Maybe its because the haswell refresh doesn't natively run on Z87. You need to update the bios, if you've already done that then maybe something is indeed broken.

    YoshiHDify got a reaction from Sharif in Graphical Artifacts   
    You guys are forgetting that you can't "screenshot" artifacts as the glitch actually happens while the card is actually showing you the image on the monitor and not what the screenshot sees which is what the game is telling it to show.

    YoshiHDify reacted to LinusTech in WD Red 4TB GIVEAWAY!   
    This contest is now closed!! Winners are below!
     
    GRAND PRIZE: WINTHER
    RUNNER UPS: SUSHISKY & WING2K5
     
    INTRODUCTION
     
    Western Digital is taking a "go big or go home" approach to at least two things right now. One is the all new 4TB 3.5" Red NAS-optimized hard drive, and the other is this giveaway. Western Digital provided us with an incredibly generous EIGHT 4TB Red drives to give away. Because these drives are RAID-optimized, we thought it would make sense to group up the prizes so that you guys can run them the way they're meant to be run!
     

     
    Again... HUGE thanks to Western Digital for making this giveaway possible. They've been so supportive of Linus Tech Tips. They sponsored our trip to Computex, sponsored our trip to PAX, and they're giving awesome stuff away to our community
     
    PLEASE TAKE SOME TIME TO READ THE SPONSOR MESSAGES BELOW!
     
     
    SPONSOR MESSAGES
     
    1. Check out this excellent review of the WD Red 4TB over at Storage Review. These guys are awesome and know far more about testing drives than we ever will!
     

     
    2. Check out the WD Red lineup even if you're not planning to enter the contest: http://geni.us/YQabkT
     
    3. Check out this video outlining the advantages of WD's Red lineup of drives: 
     
     
     
    WD RED 4TB GIVEAWAYS RULES & REGULATIONS 
     
    I decided to split things up into one GRAND PRIZE and two runner up prizes. The big winner (who will be drawn first) gets FOUR 4TB WD Red 3.5" hard drives. That's right. FOUR. That's enough to store 12TB of data in RAID 5, or 8TB of data in RAID 1. Each runner up will receive TWO 4TB WD Red 3.5" hard drives. That's enough for 4TB of RAID1 safe storage! This is a Linus Tech Tips giveaway (WD is providing the drives to us to decide what we want to do with them) so it's WORLDWIDE!
     
    WHAT YOU NEED TO DO
     
    This giveaway is only available for Linus Tech Tips forum members, and as usual you can either get ONE entry to win, or you can get more!!
     
    1x entry - Post about your storage setup in this thread. The most important thing is WHY you run the hardware you run. There are NO bonus points for talking about WD, and there are no wrong answers. It's okay to say what brands you're using, and it's okay to have a reason that's as simple as "my friend recommended it at the time"
     
    1x bonus entry - Include a link in your post of you sharing the giveaway on your personal Facebook

    1x bonus entry - Include a link in your post of you sharing the giveaway on your personal Twitter

    1x bonus entry - Include a link in your post of you sharing a link to this giveaway announcement thread in some other community (forums, social networks, super-active community websites other than linustechtips.com like Digg... etc). We aren't trying to spam so make sure you are sharing with people who you genuinely think will care about it!

    You can get a maximum of 4 entries by including links in your post to the three eligible sharing places. Here is an example of what an optimal maximum entry (4) post would look like:
                                                                                                                                                                                        
    1. I don't have a desktop, but I run an OCZ Vertex 4 128GB SSD for my boot drive because it was a great price, and offers great speed with a 5 year warranty. I don't keep any storage drives in my system because I use spotify for all of my music and I don't watch many movies, but I do have a 1TB external USB3 drive that has 1-touch back up, so I plug that in once in a while so that if my laptop gets lost I will still have my data.

    The contest closes September 30th, 2013 and the winner will be contacted after we've had a chance to tabulate the entries. Good luck everyone! Thanks for participating, and a big thanks again to our sponsor, WD!

    Definitely sounds like your bios is set to boot off CD, which will take the computer a little while to read to see if there is any bootable material on your CD before skipping it and booting off your hard drive.
