Hoping someone can help me out. So I was playing Starfield on my newly built PC. Just going about my business on the game and suddenly the computer crashes and screen goes black. No blue screen. The computers lights are still on so I turn the computer off and on again. This does not help. Black screen that says no input detected no matter what I do. I noticed that the RAM light on the mobo is on so my assumption is I could have bad RAM? So far what I've tried: Different HDMI cable that is confirmed working. Plugging into integrated graphics on mobo Plugging in old GPU from old build Reseating RAM Trying single stick of RAM in each slot Checked all power connectors from PSU Cleared CMOS Computer was working completely fine in until now. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thinking I might have to RMA the ram?

Personally I have an Epson 1040 got for around $400 something CAD. And it does the job perfectly well for now. I'm using it to hold me over until 4K projectors go under $1000. (Cheapest right now are around $2000) I would go for the cheap Optoma if you are going to upgrade to 4K in a couple years anyways.

Hey guys, I've been using my Xbox One to playback my Blu-ray rips which all have DTS audio. I just realized that the XB1 doesn't support DTS playback when it is through an MKV file. (Wth Micro$oft) It only supports DTS Audio when playing back Blu-ray disks, otherwise the audio from my PC is transcoded to AAC. And from my research it seems Microsoft will not be adding support for this anytime soon. Anyways I want to be able to play my files at full lossless quality. I could get an Nvidia Shield TV but those run upwards of $200 in Canada. For that price I was thinking of building an HTPC to just directly hook-up to my receiver. That way I can move my 8TBs of drives off my gaming PC and to a dedicated computer while I'm at it. Would an i5 4670 (non K) 8gb RAM be able to handle playing 4K video filesvia Plex directly to my TV? Would I need to invest in a video card for the PC or upgrade to an i7? Any tips for playing lossless quality files through Plex would be appreciated
