    Testing potential video issue

    Here is my scenerio and let me know how I can test to pinpoint what this is. My computer is stable 98% of the time. Gaming, especially. It never freezes or anything during gaming. However, every once in a while (roughly days in between), my computer will freeze on basic things. Like...

    PSU troubles?

    I have an ultra xconnect 500w. I did the original install with this motherboard, however during testing of things I swapped the mobo and such out numerous times. So hopefully this is the problem. Driver conflicts somewhere. Hopefully after the new install I will be good to go. If not, I...

    Black Display until Windows loads

    Black Display until Windows loads

    I did that too. Thats what I meant when I said I put the originals back in. I built this PC. No brand. I am seeing that the memory upgrade caused this somehow. But I cannot understand how. And more so, why when the old memory is put back in it does not come back. And again, when...
