  1. Monitor is on, but nothing is coming up. PSU: EVGA Supernova NEX 750B MOBO: ASUS Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 CPU: AMD FX-8350 GPU: R9 390. (Direct CU II cooler) RAM: 8gb G.skill Ripjaws X
  2. Im pretty have all of the proper connectors in the right places but my PC will not power on. The solid green LED on the motherboard comes on but when I press the power button nothing happens. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
  3. If you can definitely go for the 280 as it is the better card, however the 270x will definitely still run games.
  4. Not bad, but definitely add something to the middle. It looks a little bit bland in the red area
  5. So my moms dell laptop isn't working properly. Whenever you press the power button the power indicator lights up (and stays lit up, like it should). The hard drive light turns on for about 10 seconds and turns off. Meanwhile nothing is happening on the screen, it remains completely black. I have tried replacing the hard drive with one that I believe to be working, to see if her hard drive was the issue, but the issue remains. I have no idea what is wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
  6. How much lower? Would it still be acceptable on Bioshock 2 for example @ 1920x1080? (using WINE)
  7. I would like to do some real gaming on it as well though. Linux game support seems to be growing thankfully and I could also use WINE for some games.
  8. Linux Mint Best I can find is $350 for a GTX 770
  9. So I'm in the market for a new GPU for my Linux build and I need some assistance. I have received opportunities to purchase an R9 290 for as low as $280, and an R9 280X for even lower. I would love to seize these opportunities, however I have heard very bad things throughout the web about AMD drivers with Linux, even going as far as to say that they severely diminish the overall performance. My question is, should I get the AMD card for the awesome price? or is it not worth it and I should shoot for an Nvidia card at a similar price? Thanks.
  10. I dont know what to type
  11. Will do, but I got it to work. I just hooked everything back up when I came home today and it happened to work. Thanks for your help though
  12. Okay, will do. Thanks for the help man, GREATLY appreciated. I will check for that tomorrow and let you know.
  13. I did do that, when I took it out it worked. When I put it back in, nothin. Like I said the power cable from the case works because it worked when I plugged it into the motherboard when built outside of the case. How can I stop this shortage so that I can build my PC inside of the case.
  14. It does not power on. It cant be my PSU either because I jumpstarted it and it worked fine. Plus when I built it outside of the case not only did the screwdriver trick work, but it also worked when I plugged the cable for the power button into it too (when built outside the case). It only seems to not work when it is built IN the case, this other guy thinks something is shorting my motherboard.
  15. Currently I am temporarily using the Raidmax Super Hurricane (cheap little thing I will be using until next month when I will be buying a Define R4 along with a new GPU and possibly an SSD)
  16. It isn't powering up from the screwdriver trick when in the case. So I'm assuming its shorting out on something (like you said), what do you propose I do about that?
  17. Yeah that works. Hell, it even worked when I used the cases power cable attached to it outside of the case. Then I tried rebuilding it in the case, and it wouldnt power up. I dont get it, the cases power button worked when I connected it to the mb when built OUTSIDE the case, whats the difference inside?
  18. Yes, I am using the motherboard standoffs
  19. I jumpstarted my PSU with a paperclip and the fan spun up, which leads me to believe that the PSU is not the issue. What do you think I should do now?
  20. Mobo: Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3 CPU: AMD FX-8320 PSU: EVGA 600b GPU: Radeon 3870 X2 (will be upgraded to GTX 770 next month)
  21. Pretty sure, I looked in the manual where to plug it into. And how do I short my PSU? Sorry if thats a dumb question
