fishing for upfrags eh leth?

I can quit games fine now without black screening after GPU driver reinstall (tested with gta 5 doom and tf2)

OK I've figured out another problem. I have a power splitter, it is a thing where you plug in your tower, and 2 peripherals into the same outlet so that they all turn off when you shut your pc down. The thing is, my new pc was drawing too much power, and my monitor and speakers (which were also plugged into this power splitter) weren't getting enough power. This has stopped my speakers cutting in and out as well.

I just have to find a usb that's empty LOL

Ok after the reinstall all problems seem to have stopped. Can quit games without black screening, and can use monitor and TV with no problems. But I noticed some FPS drops - only happened twice while playing GTA 5, no biggie., and hasnt happened in tf2 or doom

Ty for help

I don't know either.

I just uninstalled and reinstalled the display drivers while waiting for you to respond, and it might have fixed the black screen when quitting games problem (just quit GTA 5 fine). I will test this more with other games. I don't know if it has affected the not being able to have dual monitors problem

I am no longer getting the activate windows alert.

I'll post results after more testing.

Will enable XMP at a later date.

I am not using VGA at all. I am using a DVI D cable - this

I'll try enabling XMP in the BIOS for the RAM.

psu: corsair vs550
ram: vengence lpx 2x4gb ddr4 rated at 2666 mhz

what does enable XMP profile mean? is that something in the bios?

sorry about inconsistency, i have a VGI to VGi cable for my monitor, and a hdmi cable for my tv, but as i mentioned i can only use one at a time or i have to restart my pc.

I just bought a completely new system with amd parts:

motherboard: msi b350 pc mate (have not looked into updating bios yet - let me know if this is the problem and i will try that and get back)
Processor: ryzen 5 1600 with stock cooler
GPU sapphire pulse rx 580 (updated drivers yesterday)
550w psu from corsair
2x 4gb ram from corsair. this was rated at 2666, but on the bios it is at 2333 (or something similar) - so not at the advertised rate - i doubt this is the cause but i specified anyways
I used a 1tb hard drive from my old pc

here's the problem

When even I quit a game (gta 5, doom, tf2 - only three i have played so far), it quits to my desktop and then after about a secondm my screen goes black and says there is no input signal.
I use a dvi cable to connect to my monitor since my monitor doesnt have a hdmi slot.

The only solution i have so far is: when the monitor goes black, I plug in my tv with a hdmi cable, and unplug the vgi cable. This obv moves the display to the tv and it works. but when I try to plug the vgi cable back in, both screens go black.

If i then unplug vgi cable, my tv works fine.

I then shut off my pc using tv, then unplugged hdmi, plugged in dvi and turned on the pc. it worked, but then when i quit out of gta5 the screen went black again.

I have looked online, and lots of people have had trouble with rx cards and black screens. but it is mostly with the 2nd displays not being recognised, nothing to do with a monitor going black after quitting a game. I am fine with using a single monitor - it just keeps going black wheneven i quit a game.

I hope i dont have to retun the rx 580 and switch to something like a 1060 :(, and i also really dont want to play with a 32" tv screen 2 feet from my eyes.
Would the only possible solution be to get a monitor with a hdmi connection? Why does the rx card even have a vgi connector if it cant support it properly.
Any help would be appreciated. :)

esit: since it is a new motherboard i keep getnig an alert from windows saying to activate windows. But i would have to contact windows support to get that resolved

yo whats that muble overlday tho?

context clip?

but why'd that scout run at a demo with a wrap assassin

If this does what it promises to do, it is actually quite a step up from the old no hats mod and does deserve its own thread tbh

you can try blu tacking it the wall. its what i do and it has worked for years (with same piece of blue tack as wel :)

you could also try local electronic stores. they might have what you are looking for :)

does your fps dip quite low? like if it drops from 120 to 60 for example, it can feel pretty aids
