    Graphics corruption only on startup, then goes away.

    Nothing is overclocked. If the problem gets worse, I'll try an HDMI cable.

    Graphics corruption only on startup, then goes away.

    Disabled fast startup, will see if it does it again... The clock is default settings on Win10 as far as I know. I don't have any junk apps installed aside from RGB software. Also confirmed that playing with the DP cable does nothing today... Starting to think the memory chip not being...

    Graphics corruption only on startup, then goes away.

    Entire system is 3 months old, video card is 4 months. Games work fine. Windows install is also 3 months old. Only does it when the PC is cold (been off all night/day) It might actually be the DP cable... though I have re-seated the video card, and the cable in the past. I doubt it's the...

    Graphics corruption only on startup, then goes away.

    So I have been having this weird issue lately. Computer boots into Windows 10... login screen has corruption along the bottom only... then when I login the taskbar is corrupted. Then it goes away shortly after. I've tried new drivers, checked my DP cable, re-seated the video card. I have no...

    For Those Who Don't Know What SPD memory speed is for

    Neat, I set XMP and it runs fine, and applies the settings correctly. Ryzen 3600X with G.Skill Trident Z Neo... 3600mhz on an X570 board.

    What was your least favorite graphics card?

    I had one too, I think I ended up returning it because it was so bad, and later on got a Radeon 9000 that worked waaaay better.

    Upgrading 970, help appreciated.

    I went from a 4690K 4.5ghz and a 970, to a 1660 Super, very good upgrade, very happy. That jump was massive, going from the 4690K 4.5ghz to a Ryzen 5 3600X made very little difference in gaming.

    G.Skill Trident Z issues, B-Die? RGB?

    Colour options are On or Off in the BIOS, and it does not allow you to change the Memory... only the motherboard.

    G.Skill Trident Z issues, B-Die? RGB?

    Mine runs fine on the XMP profile. 3600mhz 18-22-22-42, timing is really loose though. I haven't tried messing with them yet... waiting till I get a better CPU cooler.

    G.Skill Trident Z issues, B-Die? RGB?

    Nice, I was not a fan of the RGB stuff at all... but decided to get it to entertain my kids. Ended up really enjoying it.

    G.Skill Trident Z issues, B-Die? RGB?

    Yeah the Gigabyte software first install would entirely lock up the PC and nothing would fix it except a hard reset. I had to find an older version of the software to even open it. Pretty much reset the colour every time I turn the PC on. I've tried 3 different BIOS as well, they all act the...

    G.Skill Trident Z issues, B-Die? RGB?

    That's great, but I need to figure out if it's a memory issue, or a Gigabyte motherboard issue. I'm not sure how to go about that. I don't really want to go buy more memory to test and see if the RGB works fine. The RGB settings for the motherboard and memory also reset upon waking up from...

    G.Skill Trident Z issues, B-Die? RGB?

    So I'm kind of at my wits end with this memory. I've finally figured out all the small issues with my Ryzen Build, except this stupid RGB crap. So I've tried a bunch of different software to try and control these damn RGB lights... I've tried re-seating the memory... I've tried voodoo...

    Need help picking Ryzen 3 Motherboard.

    Picked up the Gigabyte board. To my surprise, Ryzen 5 3600X was on sale for $20 more than the 3600 was. :) I got the last one at my local Canada Computers.

    Need help picking Ryzen 3 Motherboard.

    https://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=26_1832_1833&item_id=138844 I'm thinking the non-wifi model, I don't NEED wifi, but it is nice to have some times... I can just tether my phone with a USB cable if I really need internet and my ISP goes down. The Wifi model is $50 more...

    Need help picking Ryzen 3 Motherboard.

    So I'm still running my trusty old i5 4690K at 4.5ghz. But I'm looking at upgrading to a Ryzen 5 3600. I recently went from a GTX970 to an MSI 1660 Super Gaming X because it's pretty much silent, and I was sick of the loud fan on my ITX 970 card. Now, I've been eyeing several MSI B450 boards...

    OnePlus Is Getting Rid of the Headphone Jack

    I literally never use my headphone jack on my phone. I have a USB stick plugged into the stereo in the work truck, and my music at home I only listen to through my PC, on some old Logitech Z-5500s.

    MSI Optix G27C, anyone?

    So it's been almost a year... Planning on picking up a MSI Optix G24C today for $250 on sale. The 27" was kind of overkill for size... hoping this 24" version doesn't have any dead pixels!

    The Hotel Industry is Fighting a Secret War Against Airbnb

    We are significantly less busy in the summer than in the winter. I will have days where I have only 1 call in the summer, even a few without any. But sure, keep standing up for those greedy hotels.

    The Hotel Industry is Fighting a Secret War Against Airbnb

    Raising prices during holidays. Sounds like they're just flat out ripping people off. I drive a tow truck, I don't raise the prices in the winter time, or when it's raining, I make an honest living.

    MSI Optix G27C, anyone?

    I could live with that crappy backlight if it had zero dead pixels... It's too bad, it is a nice display, would be even better if it wasn't curved. I mean, what other 144hz non-TN panels are there for $400 CAD? None... they're all $600+ it seems. Oh well, it's not my time to upgrade yet...

    MSI Optix G27C, anyone?

    Yep, it really is a nice monitor. Had it not had any dead pixels, I'd probably have just kept it. Cheapest 144hz non-TN panel I could find... I wonder if TN panels colour has improved over the years... ye olde FP93GX looks like thy trash when you view photos on it with gradients.

    MSI Optix G27C, anyone?

    I'm going to return it. It's nice, but $400, dead pixels, and bad backlight... I just want 100+ hz panel, 1080p with a non-TN panel so I can have nice colour. Also found out why the wife's monitor didn't work... her PC was wedged against the power receptacle in the wall... and it broke the...

    MSI Optix G27C, anyone?

    So I picked up the monitor today. Has about 5 dead pixels, 3 upper left, 2 lower right. Had weird purple artifacting at first watching a video.. 1080p 60fps... seems to have gone away now, but I did go into the menu and toggle Freesync on then off, even though I have an nVidia card. Backlight...

    MSI Optix G27C, anyone?

    Well, I got one on hold for me at the "local" shop that's about 40km away... Will pick it up Friday night or Saturday. $5 for the zero dead pixel policy, sounds like a deal to me.

    MSI Optix G27C, anyone?

    I wouldn't even know till I upgrade my video card :( The blue hue thing kind of bothers me, I mean.. how does that make it past QC? Dead pixels concern me as well, mainly why I want to buy it locally if I can.
