Description of problem

After upgrading from my GTX 770 to my RX 580, I have been having multiple issues. Previously, I was my 770 had 2 DVI ports on the back, which I was using with both of my monitors. My other monitor is not listed (BENQ XL2411Z) because this leads to my first issue. The RX 580 has 1 DVI port, 2 HDMI and 2 DP. The XL2411z can only do either HDMI or DVI, but I want to use the 144hz refresh rate, so i have to use the DVI connection. I didn't think this would be an issue, so I was just using either an HDMI or DP cable for my other monitor, because I didn't care about the refresh rate as much, as it is just my second monitor for web browsing and such while gaming. My issue here is that when I am connected this way, my DVI-connected monitor will start to turn on and off, saying "No cable detected" and constantly cause my windows to go back and forth between monitors until I unplug that monitor.Second issue is I seem to get completely random crashes while gaming, most notably in R6: Siege, where as soon as a match starts, my game crashes. I also crashed a few times loading TW:W2, and have had some strange graphical bugs in Destiny 2 and Shadow of Mordor, to the point that I had to restart the game because I couldn't see. I have uninstalled all previous graphics drivers, and even wiped my computer in an attempt to fix these issues, and have yet to find something that works. I have even tried just going HDMI with both monitors to no avail (however I don't want this to work anyway because it defeats the point of having a 144hz monitor), and finally I have tried just using one monitor, but that isn't really a fix either. I apologize if this post is somewhat all over the place, but I don't know what else to try and I haven't found a similar issue to mine through research. I also should have realized that the Newegg warranty for this card is replacement only, and is coming up soon, so if it sounds like the card itself is just faulty I would try to return it.

When this issue began

~ 1 week ago

Recurring issue

Yes

Date of purchase

N/A

Under Warranty

Yes

Cause/Steps to recreate the issue

The 2 monitor issue is the easiest to recreate, as I just plug in both monitors and end up having this cable not detected problem.

What I've tried so far to resolve the issue

  • Uninstalling all previous drivers via DDU, then installing the most updated AMD drivers- Wiping and reinstalling Windows 10- Using various combinations of DVI, HDMI and DP cables to see if any combination works

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
