Hello all, My RTX 4090 was working fine for the past week or so, but all of a sudden I am only getting 1024x768 or 800x600 choices. This is on Windows 11 Home. This is on a Sony BRAVIA 55" OLED Display (XR-55A80K) 4K @ 120Hz EDIT: I think its the stupid AVSTAR 8K HDMI 2.1 Switch that I am...

Recently I put this new Ryzen 7800X3D with 32GB of DDR5 (Corsair Vengeance RGB) (see my signature), and *sporadically* when I turn the system on, I hear a long, followed by 3 short beeps, but then the system boots into Windows 11 normally with no issues. My PC is connected to my Sony 55" TV, so...

I put this system together this morning, and when I turned it on, I could not get any video signal, and it would not go into POST (hear any beeps). Tried at least five or 6 times, so I decided to re-seat the CPU (which was *correctly* seated to begin with), and turned the system back on again...

I have the option to obtain a FREE OEM (coming from an XPS DELL) 3060Ti, to replace my existing eVGA 2080 Super. I know these cards might be neck to neck as far as PERFORMANCE is concerned, but feature-wise, the HDMI 2.1 (4K120 12-bit HDR) on 3060Ti seem very appealing to me. One thing that...

Please help! The MSI Afterburner displays my FPS in some games (DOOM 2016), but it does not display the OSD in others. The assigned hot keys (toggle, hide, display) also does not seem to 'stick', and they don't do anything. Installed EVGA's PrecisionX thinking it might be better, but it is...
