    Running i7-4770K on Asus Maximus VII Hero with no GPU black screen

    Hey guys, thanks for the suggestions. The back story to this is that I am using parts left over from a gaming pc upgrade. In just completed that upgrade and this is certainly not the first build i have done. Hence was don't think I made any of those rookie mistakes as not applying thermal paste...

    Running i7-4770K on Asus Maximus VII Hero with no GPU black screen

    Okay guys, this is getting weirder... I purchased a MSI GT 1030, when booted, the resolution remains very low at 600x800. I was able to install Windows, but it did not let me change the resolution. I attempted to update Windows and install nvidia drivers and the screen went black, monitor...

    Running i7-4770K on Asus Maximus VII Hero with no GPU black screen

    Thanks for the suggestions guys. I tried the VGA port, but then the monitor remains completely off. I tried clearing the cmos with power off, but didn't help either. I resigned myself to purchasing a low end gpu and abandon this no graphic card endeavour. It would have been good to get it to...

    MSI z77 GD65 for Ivy Bridge

    After MUCH deliberation, I went with the MSI Z77A-GD65 for my new 3770K build. It seems to be reliable and OC's well and generaly has very good reviews. I did look at the Gigabyte carefully, but in the end it seemed like it has stability and BIOS issues for some users. However, its still a...

    Help picking a mobo for 3770k Ivy

    After lots and lots of research, I ended up going with MSI Z77A-GD65 for my i7 3770K build. Budget was also a no issue for me, but the MSI had everything that I needed and seems to be reliable and OC's well. IMHO, no need to spend more $ for the GD85, if you don't need thunderbolt support. Good...

    Do you reveal your wage to your co-workers?

    Will science ever wipe out organized religion?

    This could never be achieved. Please read Principles of Human Knowledge by George Berkeley for a reasonable explanation why.
