  1. Ive checked that, no luck. My secondary monitor is plugged into onboard gpu, and works fine, looked through BIOS and none of my settings had been rest. The machine has been plugged in the whole time on a UPS, just never used.
  2. Just fired up my old gaming rig for the first time in over a year, but my GPU doesnt appear to be working. Its not recognized in the system, and there is no output. It is lighting up, fans are working, but no signal from any of the ports - HDMI, DP, or DVI. So far I've tried updating windows, updating drivers, re-installing drivers, and re-seating the card. Is there anything obvious I'm overlooking? Unfortunately I dont have any other cards to try to check if the pcie slot is working, or any other PCs to check if the card is working. Parts in question is a MSI GTX 970, Gigabyte Z77 mobo, i7-3770k
  3. A friend of mine wants to start pc gaming(mostly just cs:go and minecraft) and his brother in law gave him his old rig. I agreed to help him get it set up, and get an OS installed and get it upgraded as much as possible within his budget (~$100-150). Already planning on getting a small SSD for boot, but it would be nice to upgrade the GPU. Problem is, Im not that familiar with older AMD CPUs, so Im not sure how much we can upgrade the GPU without running into CPU bottlenecks. Here is the parts list, as best I can tell: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/9LxMhq Any Suggestions? Currently thinking of a second hand 750ti
  4. Ok, so if we can manage to get past the ISP issue, do you think that would solve the problem? What would the next step be?
  5. Our speed is about 90/10; the best package they offer in our area, so an upgrade isn't an option for now. That being said, while the speed would be slow, would it not be possible to provide at least some connection for many users-just enough for facebook/email/twitter-on 90Mbps? The routers that we are using are old cisco enterprise ones that we got from a school that was upgrading, not sure the models but they should be able to handle that many clients. We only have 2 though. Comment above addresses ISP issue.
  6. My father and I work as IT support for a small local college, on top of various other jobs, purely because we are the only ones somewhat computer literate. I have a basic understanding of most simple networking stuff; I took a 1 year course in network support at community college. That being said, Im still not the sharpest tool in the shed, so go easy on me if theres a simple fix that Im completely overlooking. Normally, there are only about 70-80 users that are on the network-Students and staff. Administration office is on a completely separate network and has no bearing on this. The network in question is currently comprised of several Linksys MFDs that are acting as wireless access points. For the ~70 students, this is adequate, and performs as well as needed. However, about 5-6 times a year, this college hosts weekend retreats, with upwards of 300-400 guests, plus students and staff/their families. On such occasions, the network completely slows down, unable to handle the load of that many users. My question is, what is the main limitation when trying have a network like this, and where is the problem coming from? Is it the APs, not being able to handle the load? Or are older switches/routers the fault here? In my admittedly limited experience, Im assuming part of the problem is that we are using consumer level equipment, and it is not designed to handle such loads. The other problem Im guessing we have is that users are connecting to an AP at one end of the building, then walking to the other, but their device is still trying to maintain a connection at the other end other the building, slowing the response time, and thus slowing everyone else down as. (Not sure if anyone understands that, or even if it makes sense for that matter; Im bad at explanations) TL;DR - Im looking for some kind of solution where I can have 400+ users on a wireless network without the whole thing going down. Budget is pretty limited; at most we can get about $1000 for this project. If this is not feasible in such a budget, please let me know what I should be looking at for a budget for a project such as this. Apologies for wall of text and making you read something that probably makes no sense. Any help, suggestions, or comments appreciated! Thanks!

  8. but why not Slidenjoy?
  9. Re-installed OBS, and all blackmagic drivers just for kicks, issue remains. Any help would be appreciated
  10. Still looking for a solution, if anyone has any ideas
  11. I am trying to run a stream for events, and the video keeps freezing when I plug in more than one camera to the capture cards. (Excluding USB Webcams). Setup: Computer: i7 6700k @ 4.4 ghz 16GB RAM Windows 10 Pro MSI 650ti Boost Capture Cards: (2x) Blackmagic Decklink Recorder (PCIe) Cameras: (2x) Canon Vixia HF G30 Logitech C920 Webcam Audio: Behringer Xenyx Q802USB Problem: I have 3 camera sources-2 Canon camcorders brought in by Decklink capture cards, and a Logitech C920 webcam. The stream will run fine with one of the Canon cameras and the C920 plugged in, but as soon as I plug in the second camera, I start to get problems. The video from the first Canon camera will freeze. I can re-initialize the source to get the video back, but then the other will freeze. I have tried with multiple different cameras, from different brands, different cables, different PCIe Slots, everything I can think of. I have tried different streaming software, and both work fine in vMix and XSplit-no freezing even after hours of streaming, so I am assuming it is some kind of issue with OBS Studio, rather than my hardware. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Log file: https://gist.github.com/cc4ab95c22b02490e9fcc99c19d262ff *Note-the C920 was not plugged in when I got this log file. I am aware that there is an update available for OBS, and will be downloading that shortly, but doubt that will fix the problem. Regardless, I will be posting results back here. If I have left anything out please let me know. Thanks!
  12. nope, only primary display was, which is kinda weird, since primary is run off gpu
  13. not at the moment, because only 2 are plugged in. I cant tell if it detects more when i plug them into the gpu because it freezes
  14. I have. Nothing works when plugged into gpu
