Check if your graphic card isn't overheating - this got something to do with GPU, for sure. I believe they're few options, one of them: card is dying. But it can be something different too. So, check temperatures, you may also browse system logs (maybe you will find something useful in there), if you overclocked, then return to "default" values. Fresh driver reinstall could also be ok I guess.

Hope that helps a bit.

So, I have really bad internet (0.36 mb/s upload) but I really want to start streaming. I am currently using OBS. My computer is pretty good. Could any of you guys help me out?

Sorry if this is a really bad thread. I just really need some help.

You don't need standoffs for every hole, but every one that's screwed in should be using one. You can get away with not using ~1-2 screws most of the time if needed, but there's no benefit to skipping them if don't have to (sometimes you just can't get the screw in position and tighten it with some motherboard/case combinations).

I'm guessing you meant MB. Even with that amount, I don't see how you could ever stream both clearly and stably.

Does anybody have the Steelseries Ikari Optical ? I bought it to replace my Ikari Laser which suffers a broken scroll wheel, and then I launch the software and find out there are only 3 different dpi settings? What gives?

Can anybody customize this? I have very specific values for FPS/RTS that I've discovered over pretty much years of fine tweaking. this is a huge bummer

Optical sensors only have one or a few native DPI settings, it's one of the prices you pay for them being mostly superior

Kinda screwed there

It's pretty much what im rolling right now. It's probably not ideal since (I think) a 650 will max sc2 and the saved money can be put into better ram or 4570 or K mark/z87 mobo for OC

But I love my setup.
4670k
8gb 1600mhz
gtx 660

To answer the question, It would do very well. Most definetly high(if not maxed out) settings without issues in 1v1

Hi, recently I went to a BYOC event. After I came back home my PC (probably) doesnt turn on. What I mean by that is:
When i start the PC evertyhing seems to be going ok, but the monitor stays in stand-by, mouse/keyboard/headset dont "turn on" (or register the PC is on? if it even is .. )

Any ideas what might have gone wrong? I think it might be the motherboard ... but the PC is farily new (about 6months).

EDIT:

Some connection inside the PC might have come loose because of vibrations in the car while traveling. Turn the PC off and pull the power cable (or use the switch on the PSU). Open up the case and remove static charge from your body (touch the radiator in the room you're in). Then go and pull and press on all connections, memory sticks, graphics card, CPU cooler etc. Then try again.

Tried, didnt help

hi TL, i need some help.
Someone helped me make a computer a long time ago on here.
I didn't have a graphics card, so I just bought the Sapphire Radeon HD 7750 today and it won't display on my monitor.
I have the asrock B75M-GL mobo, high current gamer 400w psu, and i3 2120 cpu. I don't really know why it's not working, the mobo is a 4 pin psu only, is that the problem? i changed the video to pci express in bios, but not working still

Is your monitor set to read from the right type of input (e.g. DVI vs HDMI)?

Well, if its set to look at one input (e.g. DVI) but you have a different one actually sending the input (e.g. HDMI), you might be getting picture, just not seeing it.

Here's an example of my settings page:

What monitor do you have? Take a picture of how you have things plugged in. Does your PC POST? Does it beep at you?

I want to get a laptop that can run SC2/DotA2 at the lowest settings at decent FPS and doesn't cost over $500

Is it possible?

I have a computer plugged on my tv downstair and its mainly used for my parents. However, they are total noobs when it comes to the computer world. I was wondering, is there a way for me to control the computer downstair from upstair WITHOUT having to disconnect the computer on the TV? I've tried the remote desktop from Windows but i can't have both computers logged on at the same time!
