Monitor Menu Problem

Ok denis, but what if I fixed the straight-to-black problem, and now I'm just dealing with the same old menu re-appearing problem? It's driving me crazy. I have no idea what the hell to do about it and since it's outside of warranty I am willing to try fixing it myself.

LG W2361v 2 seconds to black after opening

Ok guys, I plied my LG W2361v Flatron apart in order to fix a pesky OSD that keeps popping up randomly on the screen. It's outside of warranty. First, I removed just the menu PCB harness from the board and took the board out... It powered on but wouldn't show anything after the splash. I...

Monitor Menu Problem

Ok guys, I plied my LG W2361v Flatron apart and tried disconnecting both cables like a poster above suggested. First, I removed just the menu harness from the board and took the board out... It powered on but wouldn't show anything after the splash. I tried removing the power PCB as well, and I...

Need upgrade, or underperforming?

I am using onboard audio, RealTek. I have tried disabling the drivers via the OS, but not the BIOS, so I will definitely give that a shot. Timings should be good, but I will set them again simply to be thorough. In the BIOS it's set to IDE over AHCI. I plan to do another fresh reinstall if...

Need upgrade, or underperforming?

For some reason, I can't monitor VRAM with Afterburner as the option is not available in the monitoring settings. I have MSAA/FXAA off, bloom off, low settings, 1x AF, no blur, vsync on (unplayable with vsync off) and it STILL does it. Hell, I've turned the resolution down to 640x480 and gone...

It's set to never turn off. Currently using the high performance power plan.

Need upgrade, or underperforming?

I'll watch the prices and consider snatching one. I have unplugged most USB devices from my computer, and after the Windows reinstall I made sure to leave it bare save for the essentials. Maybe I should try a different mouse/keyboard setup. Something interesting is that Skyrim seems to run...

Hmm, I don't have a spare HDD, shoot! Outrageous HDD prices recently, too... is there any way I can test this without one, or am I gonna have to drop the $$ on a new drive? Also, is it possible I failed to hook up a power cable or something somewhere? Maybe I just put it together poorly? I...

Need upgrade, or underperforming?

I installed the 2500k with the Hyper 212. I'm really nervous about having potentially damaged something plus mucking up the install, even though everything seems to be running fine. Will almost definitely reapply the thermal paste as some leaked out of the sides, and my temps, while not high...

Need upgrade, or underperforming?

Okay, so I've installed the 8GB of RAM; it changed nothing, but I wasn't expecting much to begin with. I suppose I should still try a different configuration since it's the same 2 slots, though. I still don't have another monitor to try, and I ONLY have the DVI ports on the back of my video...

I'll swap the DIMMs around ASAP; I ordered 8GB of DDR3 and will run 2 dual channels for 12 combined gigabytes, or if that's unstable just the 8GB. I also have a core i5 2500k processor on the way, though I'll avoid changing more than one thing at a time for diagnostic purposes. Overall, I...

Need upgrade, or underperforming?

My temps are okay on both the CPU/GPU. I've run Prime95 for ~12 hours without error, too. How should I check the motherboard? I can def move the RAM over. The stuttering isn't quite massive. BF3 on low settings is absolutely playable and quite smooth aside from the drops, though they ARE...

I did not find a full diagnostic option in SeaTools, but I ran all of the basic tests without error.

None of the parts from this build came from the last. It's brand new, and has only been in commission for 6 months. I have http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148701 this HDD. Will look for a program and try to diagnose the issue, thanks. EDIT: Scanning for errors now, but...

I have memory left, how would I test for a HDD issue? I've tried lowering res and it does not help the stutter issue in BF3 and the performance in Skyrim is still poor in resolutions as low as 1280x760 or whatever I set it to. There is no reason my system can not handle this friggin' game...
