Phew! Screwed into a backplate.

No livestream

NathanL · 20 Apr 2017 at 20:18

Well that's calmed me down! Didn't want to have to do my hair

Plec · 20 Apr 2017 at 20:23

Have you ordered the cooler then?

NathanL · 20 Apr 2017 at 20:24

Not yet no, I'll do it within the next week

Plec · 20 Apr 2017 at 20:25

You mean business then...

NathanL · 20 Apr 2017 at 20:26

Always

Hi Plec, just thought i'd update you, unfortunately a few things have suddenly come up so I will have to put off the upgrading of my system. A real bummer but I really hope to be able to do it some time soon. We will have to see.
As i've said previously, thank you very much for assisting me

Plec · 30 Apr 2017 at 10:19

Not a problem Nathan - pleasure - glad I could have been of some help.

I'm subbed to the thread so I'll look out for your post if you do decide to dive into the murkier parts of your hardware.

Additional: 2-0 and secured place in championship - way to go!

I know! Happy about that, gives us time to prepare for next season know and hopefully push on for the play offs, Would be handy if the saints could lend us Charlie Austin back as well

After Leicesters interest bid (12m?) a few months earlier - I'm guessing the price we got him for still stings a bit... (At Southampton we're the kings of letting classy players go for ridiculously low prices)

He's sill a bit prone to injuries :/

4 million :'( makes me cry

SOS to Plec!
My HDMI port on my Graphics Card appears to have suddenly died. Both the DVI and VGA still work but HDMI has kaput. I've tried on another cable before you ask!! Any guidance would be very helpful!!

Plec · 9 Jun 2017 at 21:19

Hey Nathan

Are you sure it's the GPU output and not the monitor HDMI input?

NathanL · 9 Jun 2017 at 21:20

You're like a god, always looking over me,
I've tried the hdmi going into another screen and had no luck

I wish - things would be very different in the world.

Good test.

Does your monitor have speakers and do you use them?

NathanL · 9 Jun 2017 at 21:27

I've got external speakers, but it does have speakers because the screens are technically teles

NathanL · 9 Jun 2017 at 21:29

Just tested sound, nothing coming through tv

Then the DVI port will be just as good for you needs - the HDMI essentially carries more information, one of them being sound.

As you are using external speakers then you can bypass the HDMI and use the DVI (unless you were testing the DVI on a different screen).

NathanL · 9 Jun 2017 at 21:31

I've got two screens is the issues, I'm now having to make do with one because the HDMI has seemingly packed up. It may actually be time for that new Graphics Card

Ah, balls.

You could use the VGA with an adaptor for 1080p.
