I may have just fixed it - i did some google about my specific motherboard and multiple people were having a similar issue. apparently the board is very wonky with display port leads. i’ve switched over to HDMI and it’s working perfectly so far. will keep testing!

hi guys, thanks for the replies! gpu seems seated correctly, i’ve just had another look and it always works until you reboot - then will never display windows again until it’s removed and replugged in again. psu is 750 watts, it is a bit older but not sure how old. but it seems to be able to...

Hi all I decided to upgrade my pc with some new components, the rest were in my older pc and worked 100% fine. i brought an: 12700k MSI MAG Z690 Edge wifi ddr4 corsair vegeneance rgb pro 16gb new m2 ssd and i’m using my existing power supply and gpu (rtx 3080 ti founders edition) My issue...

Hi Danny, Thanks for the reply. Good idea - I've just dismantled it and rebuilt as basics outside of the case. Also reseated CPU. The exact same problem happens (no display / usb power) so I'm pretty sure the MB is at fault. Any other ideas? Specs are: MSI Z95 Gaming MB GSKill RAM...

Hey guys, Wondering if anyone could help me, I'm having some weird problems with my newish (approx 2 months old) build. So, firstly it's been working totally fine until a couple of days ago, with no issues at all. Now, whenever I power the PC on, I get no power to the USB (KB / Mouse)...

Posted this on the laptop/tablet forum but this one seems more active: Really like the look of this! One thing that I read was that if you wanted to stream in 1080p 60fps from your PC to tablet whilst it's in console mode connected to the TV, you need to have an ethernet adaptor connected to...

Really like the look of this! One thing that I read was that if you wanted to stream in 1080p 60fps from your PC to tablet whilst it's in console mode connected to the TV, you need to have an ethernet adaptor connected to the tablet. If you're connected via Wifi rather than ethernet, apparently...

Hey Wazza, Good news - finally did it! I tried with loads of cloning programs, none of which successfully managed to work. This might be helpful for anyone else who gets one of the new MSI laptops and wants to install to a SSD: I opened Burn Recovery from the app page, used that to create 5...

Hi Wazza, Thanks for your reply again :) I don't have any media for Win8 with my machine, its all on partitions. I did find one thing though, MSI have a burn recovery thing that lets you burn some recovery discs. I'm going to try those now and hoping that might fix it. I tried using the...

Hi Wazza, Good idea! Okay, that worked from the perspective that it showed me the crucial drive and i then clicked enter to boot from it. Though what it didn't seem to do was give me the speed from SSD, it was still really slow on booting up.(loading all the programmes when windows starts.) So...

Hi guys, I'd be really grateful if anyone could help, literally spent hours trying to fix this one!!! :( So I recently got a new MSI Laptop (GT60 2PC Dominator) which didn't come with a SSD. I've just purchased one (Crucial M500 240GB) and am having a bunch of problems trying to clone my...

I managed to get a EU beta key thanks to the info provided in this thread, so thanks all. :) The game is really great so far, I would say the combat system is definitely what impressed me the most. Playing an MMO with an effective system that doesn't rely on tab-style targeting is a real...

Hi, I gave that a try but no luck :(

@ Andy - Yeah, I have, but I've also tested with the overclock turned off, which didn't seem to make any difference. @ oldgamer Ah I see :)

That's interesting, I'm wondering if another adaptor would fix it. I've noticed its not all games that tear though - SWTOR doesn't tear with VSync enabled and disabled, currently its happening in DIRT 3 if I turn on Vsync however. Have you ever tried it with the adaptor that came with your XFX...

I think you're absolutely right from what I've found so far. The only really confusing thing is that I am 100% sure it didn't tear at the start, also once I was aware of the problem, I did some testing and managed to make it stop for a very short time by unplugging the adaptor then plugging it...

Hi all, Recently I got an Eyefinity set up, using 3x Iilyama 2473HDS screens and a Sapphire 7970 to power it. I connected it up using everything that came supplied with the graphics card: 1 DVI to DVI connection 1 HDMI to DVI adaptor 1 mini DP to DVI adaptor This seemed to be...

Hi, Have you overclocked your 7970 at all? Also - what are the temps when you're playing? My old GTX 570 had similar problems to you when it was overheating, but it hasn't happened at all with my 7970.

I got a Sapphire one due to the fact it was one of the better regarded brands. It also has a few extra included items that some other manufacturers don't provide you with, but ovbiously it depends on whether you need them or not. The only bad thing I can say about it is that the fan is pretty...

Hey, thanks very much for the reply, really helpful! :) I decided to go for the Iiyama Prolite E2473HDS in the end. Trying to pick which model to buy was an absolute nightmare as there is so many iiyama monitors at very similar prices. :confused: The E2473HDS seems to be fairly new and has...
