Well, I've been using the new Asrock Challenger Pro 5600 XT for a week now and it seemed everything was okay but I just had the same black screen today. Same as I did with the GTX 1070 before. I can only guess it's the monitor causing the problem at this point since I'm using an AMD card now...

Thank you for the suggestion, I will give it a try. I use both Firefox and Chrome. The black screen happened again. The settings on the monitor aren't even aggressive. I called LG today and they suggested I unplug the monitor from the wall and hold the power button to discharge electricity...

Interesting, I'm kind of relieved I'm not the only one. It's happened to me about six times although since I set the refresh rate to 120hz it seems to have stopped for now. I did just order a 5600XT to do further testing at 144hz and see if I can get that stable. I still have six months...

My LG 32GK650f-B is 144hz natively but because of the black screens I recently reduced it to 120hz to troubleshoot. Freesync is enabled on the monitor and enabled through Nvidia Control Panel. I reduced Freesync on the monitor settings from Extended to Basic. Also reduced Response Time from...

I have a LG 32GK650f-B which is nice except for the random black screens and I can't seem to figure out what's causing it. I've tried three different display port cables and I'm just giving up. I want to buy a different brand but same kind of specs like 32" 1440p high refresh rate. I'm...

I have a LG 32GK650-B and Freesync works fine so far with a GTX 1070.

No luck troubleshooting the software. I'm not sure if it's the RX 480 itself or the drivers. It was happening even with Freesync disabled. I have now installed the used GTX 1070 and enabled the Freesync and display settings. After testing the sleep issue I am unable to recreate the link...

Actually I don't. I did open the second monitor and tested it and the same thing happened. Since I tried 2 different display port cables and two of the same monitor I guess I can rule those out for now. That just leaves the video card. I did buy a used GTX 1070 and it will be here in a few...

I just bought a LG 32gk650f-b 2K 144hz monitor and Windows 10 notifies me of this error. "The system has detected a link failure and cannot set the requested resolution and refresh rate. Your display might not support the requested resolution or there may be an issue..." I was using the...

Is a EVGA 500 BR 100-BR-0500-K1 500W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI CrossFire 80 PLUS BRONZE enough for this setup? It will be on 24/7 running Plex, recording OTA HD, and gaming. I already have the power supply and the computer seems to work fine but wondering about long term. Power calculators online...

I used a Cooler Master Hyper T2 to start with and my temps are way too high. I upgraded from a Ryzen 5 1400 and the temps never got higher than 60 degrees. I installed a Ryzen 5 2600x and the idle temps were about 56 in the bios. I used Prime95 and I'm getting about 95 degrees on load. I...

Do you think the integrated graphics on your 2200g was causing the VRM to overheat? Would it make a difference if I’m I’m using a video card and 2600x without integrated graphics? I don’t know enough about this stuff. I’ve look on pcpartpicker and there are many people using Ryzen 2000 series...

Yeah, I wanted a R5 3600 but from searching on google with my board I saw way too many problems with Asrock bios issues on revision 5.80. Not being to post, blue screens, and instability. The game is being released on Aug 27 and I don’t want to take a chance of my system being messed up. The...

I have a Asrock ab350 pro4 and just ordered a Ryzen 5 2600x. I already have a Cooler Master Hyper T2 cooler and DDR 3000 ram. After reading so many comments about Ryzen 3000 series cpus just not working right with these older 350 boards I decided to avoid potential headaches and just got the...

I've decided on a Lenovo Thinkpad E595 configured with Ryzen 5 3600u, 2x8gb ram with a 256gb NVMe SSD and 1tb 5400rpm storage drive for $970 with discounts. The build and ship time is 3 weeks which is a long time but should get here before the semester starts on Aug 26th. I couldn't really...
