  1. Well I already have the monitors because I got a good deal on them, I want to pick the best ones for me to keep, the rest I was going to sell to fund buying other stuff. All but one of the monitors are TN.
  2. Well 15 of them are 1080p or higher but all are 60hz, but with all of them I feel like I can only pick 2 or 3 of those at once. Like one monitor is a 24" 1920x1200 IPS, but it a high response time(one site said 6ms another said 12ms ), another is a 24" 1080p with a 2ms response time, but it is a TN panel. Some have LED backlight, some are CFL.
  3. I recently got a lot(40+) of monitors for dirt cheap($1 each) they are all 2016 or older. I plan to pick some for my main rig, and pick some for some projects I want to do with parts I have, and the rest will be sold to help finish the projects and make the whole room setup better. I have been trying to figure this out by myself for the past month or so, but every time I get part way through I start to second guess myself. I just want to pick the best option for my situation.
  4. Ok I did that, and the pc will now just crash to a restart, it no longer freezes first, it just goes straight to a black screen.
  5. I did have a warranty, but i bought my cpu in 2017, over 5 years ago, and AMD only has a 3 year warranty.
  6. Ok it took a while, but it did crash again after upping the voltage, so i am guessing that means bad CPU? because i was really hoping it was not, because i can't afford to replace it right now...
  7. Looking at HWinfo, the voltage did mostly says 1.1, but it was not fixed voltage, normally was bouncing from 1.14 to 1.18, but would sometimes jump to 1.2 When i did the overclock, into the bios to OC Tweaker, and set the cpu frequency to 2700mhz ,and the core voltage to manual and to 1.1000v I have gone back into the bios and set the core voltage, and soc voltage to 1.2, and am currently waiting to see if i get a crash or not.
  8. that is not even an overclock, that is underclocking, and it was running at default setting before. As for Even Viewer ,there is never anything at the exact time of crash, but I do get 2 different errors about 40 minutes after the crash. source: WHEA-Logger with the Event ID 18, and get 3 errors like this A fatal hardware error has occurred. Reported by component: Processor Core Error Source: Machine Check Exception Error Type: Cache Hierarchy Error Processor APIC ID: 15 The details view of this entry contains further information. The difference between the 3 are different Processor APIC ID's, the ones that come up are 15, 2 and 0 I also get another error from source: Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Processor-Power Performance power management features on processor 1 in group 0 are disabled due to a firmware problem. Check with the computer manufacturer for updated firmware. I get enough of those to go all the way to processor 15. i don't know if it is normal for errors to show up 40+ minutes after the crash...
  9. Ok, i put the voltage, at 1.1v, and lowered the clocks to 2.7ghz from the stock 3ghz. and it still did the same thing, should I lower it more?
  10. I am currently running it at stock clock and voltage, what would you advise I set it to? I do now remember having run that before, but I did it again just in case, and it found no problems.
  11. I could really use some help, my pc keeps crashing and I have been trying for months to fix the cause... I will be using it and it will randomly freeze out of nowhere for a second, then the screen goes black and the pc starts to boot again. The weird part is that it is more likely to do it at idle than under load, as long as I leave a game running like Minecraft(or just about any game) it will be a lot longer before a crash happens. if I have a game running it could be once or twice a week that this will happen, but without a game running it will happen 4+ times a day if not more. I tried virus and malware scanning, nothing found, I tried cleaning out windows startup. I have also stress tested with prime95, OCCT, Furmark, At this point I would start replacing parts to test if it is a hardware issue, but I don't have the spare parts or the money to just buy a part to test with, and i don't have any friend that live nearby with similar parts. I have no clue where to go from here and it is driving me crazy... Edit: my current system is: Ryzen 1700 2x8gb Gskills ripjawz V 3200MHz AsRock x370 Taichi EVGA GTX 1060 6GB Corsair TX 650w 2x Samsung 840's in raid 0 1x 3TB HDD, 2x 2TB HDD, 1x 500GB HDD
  12. Ok I just recently got a good deal on Facebook Marketplace I got around 40 used monitors for $40 My plan was to upgrade my setup, and my sister's setup, because both of us have a old dell 4:3 in our current setups. She mainly just wants to replace the old dell, so hers will be easy, mine I am having trouble. After I plan to sell any that are leftover. I Do want to do video editing at some point, but most of what I do currently is gaming, and watching stuff, I currently play Forza Horizon 5, Minecraft, Battlefield 2042 and whatever game i currently have on steam and get in the mood for. My current setup is: HP LP2480zx as my main, Gateway HD2200 is my left monitor, and my right monitor is an old Dell 1907fp. Now I really like my HP screen because it is really vibrant and every other screen feels washed out next to it, but I have started to notice that the colors are far off every other monitor, and I don't have anyway to calibrate it. I could just keep it and ignore it being off for now, and one of the monitors I got is a Samsung that has the same resolution as the HP, and do that as a side monitor, and any screen as the 3rd. But I could also just put it off to the side and go back to 1080p. If I do that I was thinking I have 2 options, i have an Asus VS248H-P I could use as my main screen and any other screens as my side screens, or I found that I have 3 Dell P2312HT and I could go and have a matching screen setup. I have been thinking about it for the past day or 2, and I don't really know what to do. What do you guys think I should do?
  13. Ok my friend was on his PC and it was wanting to update, but he canceled it because his c drive was almost full and he needed to make space. He planned to do it in the morning, and at one point that night he go to reboot because it was running slow(from having not restarted in a while). As soon as it started to boot, it would not boot into windows. it would go to the blue screen with the troubleshooting options. He has tried startup repair, and it says it could not fix it, he has tried system restore, and it says an error saying something about not specifying a widnows install, but it does not give him the option to do so. He tried discpart in the CMD, and it showed his OS drive as disk0, but i think later in it, it showed the drive letters, and the drive that was OS was on is showing as having the drive letter D: We tried removing all other installed and just booting off that drive in the hopes it that it may force the drive letter back, but that didn't work either. It there anything else we can try to save the OS, or at least the data on the drive? Because he has not backed up in the past month because he has been really busy working from home, and he has things on that drive that cannot replace. He is going to start backing up more often.
  14. It's not quite ready I need to get a better PSU, because it used to have a 600w that died, and my Cenibench scores are a lot power with this PSU.
  15. Hey guys, I need some help, I have been building a workstation,mainly from parts I have, because i am on a low budget. But my anxiety has been getting the best of me and my worry is that I am going spend the money to finish it, and it is not going to do what I want the way I want. My planned Use for the system is Video editing for Youtube using a mix of Lightworks and Davinci Resolve, I won't be doing a lot of effects at frirst until I learn the programs more in-depth, I will mostly be editing 1080p 60fps, thought I may sometimes do 4k 30fps. I also plan to do Music Production using FLStudio using mostly samples until I can learn the software better. Last I plan to do Photo editing with Paint.net I will be using it to make thumbnails, I have not done it before, so i don't know how many layer it will take. Here is the build so far. Will it be able to do what I want smoothly? Or Should I be planning a more powerful budget system?
