    Best way to cache with SSD

    So I installed PrimoCache, and I must say, very nice software. It is working great for my purposes. I disabled the L1 cache, as for me a small ram cache wouldn't help too much, and set up only a L2(on SSD) which was painless, and easily configured. The software interface is nice for seeing how...

    Best way to cache with SSD

    Thanks. I went to install this last night, and decided to run AS SSD on the drive first, just to have a baseline of what the cache drive would do. It was way low, seq at ~160/60 read/write. Didn't have much time to play with it to see what was going on, but I'll report back with how that...

    Best way to cache with SSD

    I have gone through and done some research on this, but nothing I've found really fits my situation. I just built a new computer for work, and would like to cache my mechanical storage with a small SSD. I have a 840 pro for my OS and programs, and another for VMs. I have a 2tb WD green drive...

    Asus R7 260x - Black screen on restart only?

    I didn't try to reboot from the login screen, so I can't be sure, but mine did restart fine if it stopped the process to load an update or something, and never entered windows fully, so I would assume it was the same. I replaced mine with a R7 265, which is working perfectly. I agree that this...

    Asus R7 260x - Black screen on restart only?

    I got rid of my 260x, and am currently waiting on delivery of a 265, hopefully without this issue. In my mind, clearly not everyone with one of these cards is having this issue, so there has to be something in common, and since it seems to have something to do with the boot process it makes me...

    Asus R7 260x - Black screen on restart only?

    I have a boot disk, but no display. I had disabled everything but the SSD in boot options, and can't navigate through the UEFI to change that now. I won't have access to a DVI monitor until Monday, and already have the RMA. I really appreciate the help, and knowledge, and wish I could give some...

    Asus R7 260x - Black screen on restart only?

    Well, mine got worse. No display at all now. My MB has no onboard graphics either. Turn it on, post/boot leds come on, and nothing on the screen. I only have HDMI display here, but this card is going back. Hope you have better luck. I'll go do some research, but any thoughts on the R7 265?

    I can, but I won't be back to the computer until tonight.

    Asus R7 260x - Black screen on restart only?

    I went through the above steps with the same results. I tried a CCC uninstall, and the DDU software, then manually loading the drivers. Again, black screen on startup. I checked the event log, and there is a bunch of stuff I don't know the meaning of in there, anything I should be looking for...

    Asus R7 260x - Black screen on restart only?

    Is your hardware the same? I have tried just about everything I can think to do, various drivers old and newest beta, install just video drivers instead of entire suite, various UEFI boot settings, removed other components. I have noticed that if Windows does something other then just...

    Asus R7 260x - Black screen on restart only?

    After some research, I reran memtest in round robin mode, and it passed, again 8 hours with no errors. PSU does not seem to be an issue, voltage is constant and correct. I will try some older drivers next, a little weary of going to the latest beta driver, but if I find a solution I don't...

    Asus R7 260x - Black screen on restart only?

    I just finished putting together my first build, and ran into an issue. Once my graphics card drivers were loaded, the system will not restart. From completely off, it boots fine. On restart from Windows or from UEFI, it loads Windows up to the logo, and stops. With the drivers provided with...
