Well I could, but what the screenshot doesn't show is that the PC acts weird too. Things don't appear or are slow to appear. Or they might appear in the completely wrong place. Like the start menu, when I go to restart it half the time the restart button is moved up or something.

When I go to use my computer after it has fallen asleep the background, taskbar, and icons on my desktop are all messed up. The picture shows what it usually looks like or similar. I've tried adjusting all sleep settings, I even reinstalled windows this past spring and still no change. I'm at a loss for what else to do. I feel like it could be one of my monitors, its an acer xz242Q and I may have had issues with it since then. Installing drivers did not help. Seriously, I want help with this cause I have no clue. Thanks!!

I had to get a new 6600XT a few months ago because my 980ti literally burnt out. I don’t think my CPU (5820k) would be causing a bottleneck; however, I guess i don’t really know how to spot one. I’ve overclocked the CPU to 3750MHz, and i’m running the XMP profile on my RAM (16GB Vengence 2133). FPS looks good, CPU averages 50-60% in GoW (2018). How do I know when it’s time to upgrade my CPU? I would think it’s still pretty good by todays standards with 6 cores and running at 3750MHz. What would make a CPU out of date by todays standards anyways?

Hey guys, I brought home an HP SSD from work which I plugged into my computer. We knew it had an issue a while back but it was resolved. As soon as I plugged it in my PC would no longer boot to Windows consistently-- it's staying on the ASUS splash screen past the post or pops up saying attempting repair and won't move past. I've been able to get in twice when restarting my computer, but I was lucky to do so. I'm running Windows 10 off a M.2 Seagate drive, I have other SATA drives connected, but I took that bad one out. I cleared CMOS, I attempted to boot to a Windows USB to repair it but it did the same thing. Any clue how to fix this? My full PC specs are: i7-5820K 16 GB Vengence 2133 6600XT Samsung 870 Evo (SATA) M.2 Seagate Barracuda 500GB (Boot Drive) 1TB WD Black HDD Intel PCIe SSD (Currently empty but plugged in)

The PC is about 5 or 6 years at this point with quite a bit of uptime. For this setup with a 6600XT instead of a 980ti what supply wattage would I need?

So I'm running a decently old set up (i7-5820k, 980ti, Intel PCIe SSD/ Sata Samsung Evo) and my GPU just decided to burn itself out when playing God of War (which anyone know how to fix the crashing as well). The game would randomly crash and restart my PC. When the card burnt out the PC went into a small boot loop which is when I started to smell it. Im looking at getting a new card (6600xt) but I'm worried that the issue isnt resolved and could potentially happen again. As far as I'm concerned my PSU is the only part which could have an issue in the future as it seems like the card failed cause of power surge. Should I think about getting a new PSU as well? How safe is it to continue with the same one. Its an HX850i. I would like to save on cost for fixing my system.

Yep. Luckily it seems like its the monitor, not the card. Coincidentally does Walmart carry DVI cables? Wait so what explains the initial portrait mode mishap when I turned on my PC?

Right, well I found an HDMI cable and it works. Does this mean the DisplayPort... port is bad?

I was able to change cables, still not working. I'd love to test it out on another machine but I dont have the right cable/port.If it is the monitor is there a way it could be fixed?

hmmmm I don't have another computer with DisplayPort, or a HDMI cable... Ill see what I can whip up

Yep. And yeah it has different inputs, I've made sure it was on DisplayPort

Wdym scan for a signal? Everything is detecting it if thats what you mean. Device manager, Nvidia control panel, windows...

Whatever updates there were to be had, I now have them. Nada has changed.

What's making me think this is Windows is that it was in portrait when I turned it on. Idk, I could be wrong but I've got a feeling I'm right considering that cables aren't making a difference.

I've tried once again installing drivers, I tried different cables, different ports on the card. Seriously I can't figure this out.

Its a 980ti, VG428QE monitors, 144hz. Each are connected via a displayport cable.

DisplayPort, cant remember which version.

Hey guys, I have a second monitor that's been working fine for years. I wake up and turn on my PC and its not working. Additionally my primary screen is in portrait mode when I wake it up. I've tried doing what's recommended: updating drivers, rolling back drivers, restarted multiple times, I hooked up the display port cable that's working into it and still nothing. I feel like its a software issue and not a hardware issue since its being detected by both Windows and Nvidia control panel. I have some pics which show what's happening in the display settings, maybe that'll help. I'm at wits end here guys, any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Or how about be quiet! Pure Rock 2 CPU Cooler or NH-9DL?

Its not overclocked right now with my faulty AIO, nor would I plan to with the future one. Would it be good then? Honestly where would the best place to find a used cooler be?

I need a new cooler for my 5820k as the AIO I have now has a faulty pump. What is a good cooler for it? I'm looking at the MasterLiquid ML120L RGB V2 but I don't know the quality of it. While I'm at it, is the Arctic Silver 5 a good thermal paste? Thermal paste seems to be the type of thing where its pretty much universally good. Thanks!

When I increased the frequency it gave post code b7 and wouldn't boot. Now what?

Okay, I thought my RAM has been at 3000 Mhz because that's what it said on the box, but now i'm looking in the BIOS and it's saying its running at 2133. I can see that I can change it to 3000 Mhz in the settings, but do I need to mess with voltages or anything to get it there? Thanks!

I get that, Just how well would a 1080ti perform vs a 1070

How well could a 1080ti and 1070 run games on a 4K monitor at 144 hz? medium to high settings
