  1. This is a problem I left behind a while ago, and I've gotten a better GPU since, but if I can get it fixed then I can sell it for more. Also, the GPU was used when I purchased it so it could have died any minute to be fair, but I have been playing games with it for a year So I was in the middle of playing a game with my GTX 780, and the computer had just turned off and wouldn't boot back up. At first, I thought my motherboard had died again as it did recently at that time. However, after a day of swapping out parts, I came to the conclusion that it was the GPU. As the system boots without no GPU and then the system no longer boots with the GPU in. I tried the 780 in another working machine and that did the same thing. So there is something wrong with the card. Specs: i5-3570k ASUS P8H61-M 16GB of RAM GTX 780 then, GTX 1060 3gb now 600W EVGA 80+ PSU
  2. Ive decided that my issue is the motherboard. As replacing it with another. The PC boots up and gets to desktop. I dont know if the scratches are the cause but im now off to buy a new motherboard.
  3. I have troubleshooted some more things: Cleaned Socket and checked for Damage Test with spare Cpu Used a single stick of ram
  4. Here is the image, There is actually two scratches in this picture. :(. One scratch is a semi-circle around the CPU cooler hole. And the other is to the top right of the picture.
  5. alright ill get a picture later on today, ive got to take the cpu cooler off then
  6. Its behind the CPU cooler bracket on the back of the motherboard. I cant see it anymore however because of that bracket. It was a light scratch and it might have crossed over one of the tracks (i don't know the actual word).
  7. Specs: i5 3570k Cooler Master Seidon v120 GTX 780 EVGA 600w PSU Asrock H61M-VG4 16gb of ram 1 2TB Hard Drive 1 1TB Hard Drive 1 160GB Hard Drive
  8. Hiya, I have just replaced my air cooler with a new All in one Water Cooler. I took the motherboard out of the case and removed the old cooler. During that process I scratched the bottom of the motherboard a little bit (I hope that isn't the cause of my problem). A lot of cables had been taken out so i could do a bit of cable management. And then i placed everything back the way it was before everything went upside down, just with a new cpu cooler. With everything together I then start my Pc up and then for about 10 seconds all the fans are running and everything seems to be working apart from the monitors not responding. After those 10 seconds or so (rough estimate) the Pc shuts down. And so i thought great troubleshoot time. And the pc started up again all by itself, and then with another 10 seconds it turned off again. It justs goes through a cycle. What I have troubleshooted: Reset Cmos battery with both jumper and taking the battery out and putting it back in. Unpluged Graphics card, hard drives and Optical Drives Checked cables Reseated Ram
  9. Get a 1080 ti and sell the 1080 that way you get some money back.
  10. Current System: i5 2400 GTX 780 8GB Ram I would like to upgrade my i5 2400 since it has been bottlenecking my GPU. -I would like to purchase from the used market, mainly Ebay. -My budget is £120 -I would like to stay on the same socket if possible -My current lga 1155 motherboard is not a z77 board so i cant overclock Ive been interested in the i5 3570 since it fits my budget and is the best non k i5 on this socket How does this new CPU run Newer games? If you have any suggestions that fit the budget and are better feel free to answer.
  11. i would say exhaust, since you need the hot air leaving the case
  12. Have you updated your drivers for the game?
  13. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EVGA-600-600W-Gaming-PC-PSU-Power-Supply-80-Plus-Rated-120mm-Fan-/222014160445?hash=item33b1133e3d:g:gv8AAOSwoydWsjtT Ive had this power supply for a while now and have recently upgraded to a gtx 780. And im a little concerned if im getting the 100% power it says. i5 2400 8gb ram gtx 780 Cooler master calculator says 480w odd
  14. My gpu is overclocked at the moment as well my gpu gets maxed out in the heaven benckmark reverting back from overclock doesnt fix this
  15. I usually using high but went down to medium just now. So having a walk around outside of diamond city the game does have big stutters every half a minute. Vram was at 1.7k out 3k gpu never got to 50% at a temperature of 42. At an fps of 40-50. Sometimes hitting 60. But after a big stutter the gpu usage jumped up to 60 odd and went back down. Cpu usage was at 70% and a fine temperature
  16. Sorry i forgot to say that im not getting 60fps and the gpu isnt maxing out
  17. what resolution are you playing at?
  18. I just changed my graphics card to a gtx 780 and some games like World of Warcraft and fallout 4 are not fully utilising the GPU. CPU = i5 2400 8gb ram windows 10 -Im having no problems with temperature. -My cpu is not maxing out and bottlenecking the gpu i cant think of anything else, anyone got any ideas?
  19. so i just went from r7 260x to gtx 660. 1.)drivers done correctly, from crimson to nvidia 2.)i find out my 500w PSU cannot not handle my system at full load(using the nuke launcher in fallout 4 ruins it) 3.) My system reboots itself, so i need a new power supply 4.)i use msi afterburner to limit the power(from 100% to 75%), not sure if this actually works but no more reboots. 5.)im then got a BSOD one hour after last auto reboot. Saying "Memory management" was the problem(dont know what that is) 6.) and then another BSOD with a different problem but i cant remember the name to that one.
  20. What ever is cheapest for you, they are both great cards.
  21. I have an r7 260x which was the best value for your money at the time of my purchase. Soon i will getting a gtx 660 for £50.
  22. Hello, I have forgotten the password and recovery key to my Fujitsu stylistic q584 with Bitlocker encryption. In the recovery part it says "There no more bitlocker recovery options on your pc" " You'll need to use the recovery tools on your installation media. If you dont have any installation media(like a disc or USB device), contact your system administrator (dont have one) or PC manufacturer (prefer not to)" Also it gives me the ability to press the windows key and access the UEFI firmware settings. Which gave me an idea of using windows 8 installation usb onto it by booting on to it. Sadly, this is a tablet and even with a keyboard connected the windows key does not do anything. So i have no idea what to do?, if anyone could give me any ideas that we be grateful.
