    Hi everyone, I have recently got this problem where when I connect my laptop to my monitor using HDMI, nothing happens. It was working perfectly for the past year and all of a sudden when I plugged in my laptop to the monitor a couple of days ago there was no response. It is as if nothing is connected, and the monitor also displays "cable not connected". I am able to connect using a VGA cable though. I have encountered this problem before once but it went away on its own after a few minutes. I'll post more details below. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you. Things I have tried - Tested HDMI cable and monitor, both work with other computers - Tried connecting laptop to a TV using HDMI, same problem - Reinstalled drivers for both my Intel HD 4000 and nVidia 640m graphics - Updated drivers for both graphic cards - Updated BIOS - Completely reinstalling windows - Tried changing boot up order (turning on monitor first then laptop and vice versa) System Details Laptop model: Gigabyte U2442V CPU: Intel Core i7-3517U Memory: 2x 4GB DDR3 Storage: 128 GB SSD and 750 GB HDD Graphics: Intel HD 4000 and nVidia 640m (My laptop uses nVidia Optimus) OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit

    So you think it would be possible to have 120 Hz at 4k with a R9 290 if you use two displayports if a monitor in the future supports it? And does anyone have any idea when a 120Hz 4k monitor is going come out?

    Hi guys, I want to get a 4k monitor and I have a R9 290 graphics card, however the best 4k monitors out there support up to 60hz refresh rate. I want to know if my graphics card can support more than 60hz at 4k because if that is the case I might wait until a 120hz 4k monitor comes out. Thanks

    Thanks it worked! but CCC has a pain to get working in the first place

    Thanks I will try that, for some season if I switch to a DVI cable it works.

    Hi guys, I just finished my new build which was working fine until a started updating my drivers. It seems the R9 290 driver causes my screen to shrink (so it has a massive black border around it) and my mouse curser to go huge and pixely. I'm running windows 8 64 bit and a 1080p monitor. I have made sure the display settings are set to 1080p on both the windows display software and Catalyst software but it doesn't make a difference. Any ideas on what to do? Thanks.

    Hi guys, I'm thinking of getting the H440 or the 450d for my new build but I can't decide which one to get. I will be running a sapphire tri-x 290 so the thing that worries me about the H440 is that I heard its ventilation isn't that great. I'm also open to other ATX mid sized towers reccomendations that are compatible with an H100i. Thanks!

    Hi guys, I'm looking for a windowed mid-sized ATX tower for my new build. I want it to have decent cable management and be compatible with an H100i, ideally that can be mounted on the front. I want it to be sleek and have a relatively low profile. Black is my preferred color choice and any noise dampening is also a plus but not necessary. I'm looking for something under $150 USD. Any recommendations? Thanks!

    Hi guys, I'm building a new rig and I need to choose a motherboard. I'm planning on using an i7 4770k and a R9 290 and playing current games such as Battlefield 4. I want to be able to overclock and have good audio. Any ideas? It should probably be an ATX board. I was Looking at the Asus Maximus VII Hero, is that any good for it's price? I should mention I don't want to spend too much on it, probably no more than $215 USD. Thanks!

    I have been researching which R9 290 to get for a while now and now I want to get either the Gigabyte Windforce one or the Sapphire Tri-X one but I can't decide! They are the same price in my area so price isn't a factor here. I know the Gigabyte one is OC at 1040 MHz whereas the Sapphire Tri-X is OC at 1000 MHz but does is the 40 MHz gonna make a big difference? And which one is better for over clocking. These are the factors I'm looking at in no particular order (but probably performance is the most important): 1. Performance 2. Temperatures 3. Noise 4. Overclockability. Any recommendations? Thanks!

    I want to get the new i7 4790k but I don't know when its going to be released. I would also like to know when it is going to be released in Europe if not the same time. Also, will the i7 4770k become cheaper when the i7 4790k is released? Thanks.

    I thought that was only with the first batch that were sent to early adopters. But I think all the ones that are sold to consumers have that problem fixed. Is that right?

    I see you mentioned that after market coolers for ASUS and Gigabyte for the r9 290 leave a lot to be desired. Can you please explain what's wrong with them? I am currently looking for which non reference R9 290 to get but I can't decide. I know the ASUS one has problems with its heat pipes but what's wrong with the gigabyte one?
  15. Jadamog
    Can you send me a link to which one you have? because I have seen multiple GB models.
