So, did you get the driver installed for that network card yet?

It looks like you're missing a DLL file—honestly, I can't say for certain which one it is right now. You don't really have anything to lose by just downloading and installing the trial version to see if that clears things up.

Buddy, take a second to read—you’re replying to a post from eight years ago! 🙂

It’s possible that during shipping, a cable just shook loose from the motherboard—maybe a power connector got pulled out of place. Either way, you’re probably going to have to pop the side panel off the case to see what's actually going on. It's hard to offer much more help without seeing the hardware itself, right? Also, just a quick thought—did you happen to plug your VGA, DVI, or HDMI cable into the port on the case instead of directly into the graphics card?

My two cents—since you’ve already got the case open, why not head over to a local shop that has an air compressor? Give everything a really thorough blast, especially the CPU heatsink and the graphics card. There’s a pretty good chance the GPU cooler is just choked with dust, which would stop the fans from spinning properly. If that doesn't do the trick, though, you might have to actually crack the card open to see if the fan itself is shot...

It might be best to just pop that graphics card out of its current case and test it in another PC—just to see if you actually get a signal. It’s a simple enough way to rule out whether the card itself is the culprit.

Honestly, it’s probably just a pre-built mess—it’s hard to tell when they don't even list the SSD model, the power supply, or the case. It’s honestly ridiculous... you see these rigs being pushed for $1,500, but then you look closer and realize they just slapped together an old B85 chipset, a tiny 120GB SSD, and some extra RAM and a 2TB hard drive to make it look decent. 😵 😵

Just wait until the guys here can hash out the actual specs—this whole thing is kind of a joke, isn't it?

Does the date and time look correct to you guys?

Maybe try grabbing CCleaner, Malwarebytes, and AdwCleaner? I’d also run a scan with JRT—just to be safe. Once you’ve given the computer a good cleaning with those, let me know if things start looking any different.

To start things off, maybe try a clean reinstall of your graphics card drivers first.

crimsoncanyon8 said:Someone mentioned that if my motherboard doesn't support 1866MHz, the RAM will just automatically default to whatever the maximum speed supported by the board is. Is that actually true? And would these sticks work okay on this specific motherboard?

They're right about that—but if I were in your shoes, I'd probably just grab some RAM with a slightly lower clock speed. Honestly, it’s just to be 100% sure you won't run into any headaches. Besides, is there really a noticeable difference between 1066, 1333, 1600, or 1866MHz? Not in any real-world scenario... you won't feel it at all during normal use. So, don't sweat it too much.

If you ask me, Amy Vaughn12 is definitely 👍

Honestly, I wouldn't mess around with that if I were you... If you're just a home user, there's really no point—you'd basically be paying a massive premium for an office setup you don't even need 🙂

+1 to buying everything brand new whenever you can swing it—once you've saved up enough cash, that is. Honestly, upgrading old parts feels like just throwing money down the drain...

Just grab Malwarebytes and run a scan on your computer with it.

That card is really just meant to get an image on your monitor—it's definitely not built for gaming...

If you're actually looking for a GPU to play games, you should at least aim for one with DDR5 memory. The one you mentioned only has DDR3.

Maybe give it a shot with a different keyboard.

If you can, I’d really suggest sticking with that first configuration from ADM. Honestly—if you just give them a call and tell them exactly which parts you want, they'll handle the shipping and assembly for free. I'm not entirely sure what their payment options look like right now, though... do you think they'd let you pay cash on delivery?

Forget about those pre-built configurations... honestly, you're better off having some guys put together a custom build for you, part by part.

Just head over to the Nvidia website and grab the driver for your graphics card..

Here’s the link—I'm assuming you're running Windows x64, but if not, just select x86 instead, download the driver, and get it installed.
