I have bought new parts for my PC. (PSU, CPU, RAM and Motherboard)




I bought the RAM, motherboard and CPU first, and all was fine, but as I plan to get a new graphics card soon, I needed a new PSU. I bought a new one and put it in, but now sometimes when i turn on the computer, it comes on for a second, then turns back off again, then back on etc. It does this multiple times, then eventually boots up. (It appears it does this a different amount of times every time)




When this happens, the fans come on, then go back off again. It is the same with the Power LED light.




There is no problems when the computer is running though, it doesn't ever crash or turn off once it is booted.


 




Any ideas why this is doing this? I think it might be a dodgy PSU but I don't want to take it back to get it replaced, only to find I still have the same problem.


 




Thanks in advance.

I want to use hdmi for my computer now, so i plugged in a hdmi cable to the monitor and tried to plug in the other end of the cable into my graphics card. But, there is a little metal bar type thing sticking out right above the hdmi slot.




This is stopping the hdmi cable going into the slot properly.




Is there anything i can do about this?




Thanks

I'm getting a new graphics card that only has HDMI and DVI ports on it.




But my monitor (Will be getting a new one later on) only has one VGA port on it.




I thought i'd get an adapter for it but i heard they would only work if the graphics card actually had a vga port on it, and you just want to use a second monitor.




Is this true?




Because if i have to get a Graphics Card with a VGA port on it, i will have to get a lower down card.


 




Thanks.

I am looking to upgrade my monitor for my gaming PC.




My current monitor is 19" and has a 1440x900 resolution.




The one I am thinking of getting is 24" and has a 1920x1080 resolution.




My graphics card is a GTX 660.


 




I have run a benchmark using my current monitor and a 1920x1080 TV to test the frame rate difference between the two resolutions, the results were;


 




Current Monitor (1440x900), average FPS = 43.4




TV with same resolution as new monitor, average FPS = 29.7


 




That's quite a difference and will probably be the difference between running new games well on Ultra settings and not.


 




I am now not sure whether to upgrade because it sort of defeats the point of getting the new monitor for games to look better, if the FPS's are so low that I have to turn the graphics down to run them.


 




What do you think I should do?


 




Thanks in advance.
