Not sure if this is the right category but I have a Dell Latitude E5540 2.5 GHz I5-4300U, 8 GB of DDR3, 500 GB HDD, an I am using Intel HD graphics. I am trying to figure out how to us a secondary monitor with my Hackintosh, an the HDMI port I am trying to use to give the second display a signal isn't working what should I do to fix this?

Before machine 2 was giving intervals of 3 beeps

So I have two machines that won’t boot at all or give me any sort of sign of what might be the issue the machines are as listed below. So when I try to boot either machine nothing happens. I have already tried swapping GPUs swapping ram Swapping drives reseting the cmos ensuring the cpu is seared properly removing extra PCI cards but nothing I do seems to resolve the main issue that I am having. machine 1 MSI 970 gaming fx-8300 24 gigs of ram RX-580 8 GB 480 GB Sandisk SSD (boot drive) 2 TB Samsung 860 QVO 3* 1 TB HDD random storage Machine 2 A8-7600 8 GB of ram same boot drive SSD AS before r9-270x Asrock FM2A68M-HD+

Everything worked in the spare computer I have if I swap to it I lose 8 gigs of memory, 2 says ports, and half my cores. The CPU in the other case is an A8-7600 and the memory on hat board runs in single channel. despite seeing both sticks @Gegger

Well I tried reseating the CPU but nothing is happening still @Gegger

EVGA 750GQ 80 plus gold. @Gegger

Welp I will have to save money up to do this just for the new MoBo, CPU, Cooler, and PSU is almost a grand @Gegger

I guess all the overclocking to my CPU burnt it out but don’t CPUs have backup cores Incase something happens to the main cores @Gegger

There’s an audio boost light which turns on

Well I think my motherboard is working just fine since the LED on my GPU and water block are lit up @Gegger

I wish I could ditch AM3 and build a ryzen 7 3800x machine @Gegger

I’m starting to think it’s either my CPU Or MOBO @Gegger

I tried that at one point as I was watching a Jaystwocents Video on how to fix a Failed GPU overclock video but that didn’t work. But as soon as I popped my SSD, RAM, and GPU into my FM2+ machine it worked

I just attached a PC speaker my system an it’s not making any sound tho I do have my GPU removed from my PC rn

@Gegger what else might it be?

My power supply is working just fine. The LED lights in my case fans and water block turn on and I feel an airflow from the PSU itself @Gegger

Jump the PSU??? @Gegger not entirely sure how to do that but I can say that I swapped my SSD and GPU into a machine that is working properly and uninstalled the Radeon driver an my main PC is still refusing boot even with the driver uninstalled

Nope nothing comes up on my displays at all I encountered this issue once before but it resolved itself before and my pc eventually posted @Gegger

So on my MSI 970 Gaming I went into the Radeon drivers in windows and loaded a profile with overclocked settings I know to work and my pc won’t boot now. My ram, GPU, and CPU are fine. I tried my GPU and RAM in a spare machine I have and those worked. I also tried clearing the CMOS as well and nothing happened. Is there anything else I can try to fix my machine? In addition none of my USB ports are working.

Well my 8300 runs at 4.4 GHz stable

Also this cooler is replacing my EVGA CLC 280 as the last original fan broke away from its mount

When I built this machine it was to get away from AMDs A series APUs and it’s just holding me through as a skipping stone until I can build a Ryzen machine

I am trying to determine what the best air cooler I can get but amazon doesn’t specify what the cfm is on the air cooler that are sold through them. So my question is what is the best CPU air cooler for AM3 I can get?

To anyone who may respond NVM. It was a simple cpu 12v or 5v rail cable I forgot to plug into my PSU

So just tonight I got a new case the rosewill challenger-s which I swapped in from the Corsair carbide spec 4 and now that I try to turn my system on I can’t get any video signal from my RX 580. What should I do?
