Hello everyone,
Saturday, I experienced something that I have never run into before. I was testing an overclock and got a blue screen in Windows. So, I shut off my comp, reset the CMOS and fired the computer back up. Upon doing so, the mobo wouldn't recognize any of my hard drives. So after a lot of trial and error with a bunch of different hard drives, I came to the conclusion that somehow my computer crashed so hard, it actually killed my first 4 SATA headers on my mobo. Any hard drive would be recognized in SATA port 5 but no hard drives would be recognized in SATA 1, 2, 3, or 4. So, anyhow, I went out and bought a new mobo (the same one as I didn't want to reinstall Windows) and hooked everything back up, and everything worked like a treat.
So, after getting everything back up, I turned on my second monitor (20.1" BenQ widescreen, native res 1680*1050) only to see that half the picture was off the right hand side of the monitor. Any other res works fine but anytime I try to go to my native res, it displays half the picture off the side of the screen. I've tried it on 2 different computers with the same result. Before the mobo killing crash I didn't have my second monitor on so I'm not sure if that's the culprit but it leads to the question, could it be?
If anyone has any ideas on how to fix my problem, please chime in.
Specs in sig.
Thanks
