  1. @dj_ripcord @fasauceome can't thank you both enough, everything is working now! This 3770 will be a great update for my SO!
  2. Bent the pin back in place with a staple. got the i3 working again, thank you so much! I'm not sure, I left it for a little while, how long do you suggest?
  3. Damn, this might be it. I think I see one, maybe two, that look out of line. Any advice on gently bending them back?
  4. I had an ASUS P8H61-M with an i3-2120 CPU. This setup ran just fine, but recently a friend of mine gave me a variety of i7-3770s/i5-3570s to test to see if they worked. I had to update my Motherboard BIOS for these chips to be supported, so I went ahead and updated the bios. After that I rebooted the PC to ensure the new Motherboard bios worked okay, and everything booted just fine. Then I started trying the CPUs my friend gave me and all of them exhibited the same symptoms: Black screen on display. GPU fan spins up, stops spinning, then spins up again No beeping from motherboard speaker I've tried removing the GPU and using the onboard video, and I get the same problem I figured all of the CPUs must have been dead, but now when I try my known working i3-2120, I am getting the same issue. I am stumped. I tried clearing the CMOS/RTC with the jumpers, but I have no way of knowing if it worked or not due to the black screen. Any help/advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
  5. I'm a moron, I did some reading and found out the second port on the graphics card is DVI-D (meaning the Analog DVI adapter wont work with it). So I just swapped around where the 4:3 monitor was plugged in with my primary monitor. Problem solved!
  6. Alright well Disabling crossfire makes the second monitor work... but I want to use crossfire haha. Re-enabling once again kills the monitor.
  7. I don't even know where to enable/disable crossfire in this new AMD Radeon Settings software, CCC used to have an entire tab/page dedicated to it.
  8. So I have an older 4:3 Dell monitor that I want to setup as a secondary monitor for when I'm gaming etc... The only problem is I can't seem to get it to display with my first monitor. Both monitors work, and the cable/VGA->DVI adapter works. My graphics card setup is two AMD R9 270s running in crossfire. I read somewhere that it recommend installing the newest video drivers, so I just did that. Weirdly enough while the drivers were installing both monitors displayed just fine (in between the intermittent screen flashes) but once it finished installing it is back to not displaying the second monitor. Both monitors are using DVI (the 4:3 using a VGA->DVI adapter), and the second monitor is currently plugged into the second DVI slot on the first graphics card. Neither Windows 10 nor the AMD Radeon bullshit software detects a second monitor being connected. I have tried every DVI port between the two graphics cards with no luck so far, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you EDIT: Disabling Crossfire seems to let the second monitor work fine (when the second monitor is plugged into the second graphics card), the only problem is I want to use Crossfire haha. EDIT 2: I'm a moron, I did some reading and found out the second port on the graphics card is DVI-D (meaning the Analog DVI adapter wont work with it). So I just swapped around where the 4:3 monitor was plugged in with my primary monitor. Problem solved
