  1. PC has started having a weird issue that goes a little something like this: 1. Computer and monitor are completely fine. 2. Turn PC Off for the night 3. Turn on PC following day and the screen does not display anything regardless of mouse moving, powering the monitor on or off etc 4. Changed the cables multiple times. No change. 5. Press reset button on PC, now the monitor displays. Not sure what is causing it but the specs of the system are below. CPU: AMD FX 8320 GPU: Nvidia 1060 6GB RAM: 16GB ddr3 OS: Windows 10 pro
  2. Another update. Seems to have been fixed with a new motherboard. Tried replacing every other part and replacing the motherboard is the only thing that made any difference. It's now working properly again aside from the SSD.
  3. Just as an update. Swapped out my 12gb of ram for a single 8gb stick and that didn't help at all.
  4. Yeah I've done that, I thought I mentioned it in the short novel above but sorry if I missed it! ?
  5. System CPU: fx 8320 RAM: 12gb corsair vengeance GPU: rx480 4gb sapphire nitro SSD: toshiba q300 240gb hdd: toshiba 1tb 2.5" PSU: corsair cs650m OS: windows 10 pro I recently over clocked my amd fx 8320 to 4.4GHz. This was achieved through a multiplier of 22(might be off by a little bit, I can check if it's important to know the exact number.) and I upped the voltage by 0.150. I got it to 4.2 with no issues and without changing the voltage. so I tried upping it to 4.4 without changing the voltage and it blue screened within a minute running AIDA64. I then upped the voltage by 0.075 and it ran for 4/5 minutes before blue screening. However after upping the voltage to the value specified above the system ran for 3 hours on AIDA64 without crashing so I presumed everything was fine. Just to to add some context to his next part... programs such as google chrome would regularly crash and my SSD was getting slower booting. Over a a few days of having my PC overclocked I received two BSOD with error codes linking to corrupted data. I decided to format my SSD and reinstall windows after backing up to my secondary hard drive. the SSD is now unusable, windows installer detects it but can't add a volume to it (tried using disk part in the installer) and it can't find a volume on the drive at all. However, I've accepted that the SSD has kicked the bucket and I'll be getting a new one from the warranty but what I'm having an issue with is that after installing windows on a new mechanical hard drive and resetting voltages and clock speeds back to default my pc is incredibly slow and at times becomes unresponsive. A recurring situation is if I try to alt tab from portal 2 to anything my pc will display a black screen and won't take any input. It'll just sit there until I hard reboot the PC and then it'll go back into its sluggish state. another thing to note which may or may not be a factor is my GPU. I noticed there is a bios switch on my Rx 480 4gb and after googling I discovered this was for performance or quiet mode. Since it wasn't labelled which was which I turned the pc off and moved the bios switch then turned it back on, the clock speed went down to 1266 rather than the factory overclocked 1306. I turned the pc off, flipped the bios switch back and turned it back on and the clock speeds were still 1266. I haven't been able to recover the stock speeds through the bios. So if anyone can help with this as well I'd appreciate it. Sorry for the length of this, I just wanted to put all the info I could. Thanks to to anyone that can help.
  6. Okay thanks, I'll try that later and let you know what happens. Thanks again for the advice
  7. As the title explains, I'm currently having an issue where if i go full screen on Youtube or whether i'm windowed or running full screen on CSGO then the screen gets a weird pink tint to it. This doesn't happen in non full screen modes of youtube but happens all the time in CSGO. Any ideas as to what could be causing it? Any help is greatly appreciated!
