  1. Anybody else's parents keep trying to buy Mac's/ Macbooks because they're "better"? Ive given up at this point
  2. I don't have another around. What a pain!
  3. Could it be a motherboard issue? Like a damaged PCI slot?
  4. No I'm afraid not, and I think the CPU might but the motherboard does not
  5. This is my second one after RMA'ing the first. Could I really be that unlucky?
  6. Tried all these and it's the same story, not working
  7. I know the monitor works fine, I've used it with another PC. It's an Asus VX239H
  8. Ah sorry I misunderstood. I've tried this and it made no difference, but thank you for trying, I really appreciate any help I can get
  9. Nope, no overclocks on anything. Windows is installed on a 250GB Samsung SSD, with a 1TB WD Blue drive for storage. I've formatted both drives and re-installed windows several times. What do you mean by video plug? The 8 pin? And I've used 14.12, 14.9, 13 something and the newest beta driver (only one at a time mind, uninstalling the previous before putting the new one on). Could it be something in the BIOS?
  10. I'm afraid that didn't, this time it Blue Screened. I don't know what else to try!
  11. Yeah thats what I thought, so I had the card RMA'd. The new one is here and is doing the exact same thing, I can't imagine I got 2 duds. Without the drivers installed GPU-Z just shows Standard VGA Adapter
  12. So I just got my new PC and I'm having some serious problems with the graphics card. The system works fine, but when I install the driver for the card, the PC goes to a black screen after booting. It gets past the "windows starting" screen, shows me the desktop, but then there are lines all over the screen and it goes to black. The PC doesn't shut down or anything, and the GPU fans still run. I've uninstalled the drivers using DDU, used system restores, clean windows installs, you name it. Windows is fully up to date bar the AMD driver thats crashing the system. If I don't install the driver, the PC works, but under device manager the GPU is a "standard VGA adapter". Please help! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  13. Alright I'll give that a bash then, thank you! Is it worth keeping the bottom fan mount populated at all times? In which case, with what kind of fan? Static Pressure?
  14. How much air will be pulled from there though? My case is on a desk, but there isn't a whole lot of clearance
