Just got the ram through the post here, turned the pc on and it posted! YEY

 

But then a buzzing noise started coming from the hard drive that i had lying around from an old pc.

Tried a laptop hard drive and the noise went away. So now I have to get another one tomorrow lol.

 

ONE THING... When I booted through the laptop hdd it went through, when I tried to adjust the Resolution for my ultrawide 2560x1080 lg monitor windows wouldn't let me and limited me to 1920x1080.

Is it a driver thing? I didnt install drivers as I'm getting a new hard drive tomorrow

 

Help me out :D ty

I should add that this laptop had windows 10 32 bit installed if it makes a difference?!

Probably a driver thing. My guess is that whatever driver your laptop was using is conflicting with your computer's graphics driver.

it could have been the awful somethingx768 reolution screen on the laptop, maybe the driver for that that was conflicting ?

Think about it this way, your laptop was probably using some Intel integrated hd graphics driver, which is great for that laptop. Unfortunately you just moved all the data and drivers from that system to a whole new set of hardware. That can create some issues initially. After some driver maintenance it should be good to go.

 

There's also the possibility that the default driver for your gpu doesn't support 21:9 resolutions and you need to grab the driver from their site for that.
