  1. Why wont my computer register on the monitor?


    Several weeks ago I built a computer and was able to successfully get windows download windows 11 and was able to get drivers updated and functional. However, about a week later I was working from home and stepped away from my computer for a while and my computer fell asleep. when I came back I could not get the monitor to recognize the pc was on until I hard restarted it. The next day when I turned my pc on to work I was met by the same issue as when it fell asleep the day before, but this time no amount of restarting my computer would bring the image onto the monitor. I have been able to ver

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds

    Second monitor is not registering


    I just bought a second monitor for my desktop. But when I plugged it in, it would not register. I did try configuring in on under control panel and under display settings. It still wouldn't work after that. Then we asked advice from our local geek squad. They recommended we change the graphics card because the monitor might not have enough space/room for a second monitor. When I replaced my graphics card, went through the updates, and installed the GeForce driver, it still wont recognize that there is a second monitor hooked up?

    Please help me *Mad
