Hey Guys!

tried to play Battlefield 3 last night but it kept loading using my shitty Intel HD graphics instead of my GTX 560....

so i went in to control panel and Disabled the Intel HD graphics......then my screen went black! and now thats all it does when i switch the PC on......can anybody advise me on how to resolve this issue??

Thanks in advance!!

thanks for the reply so fast!

nothings silly mate, im not the biggest wiz with pc's I just bought the rig aswell.

I plugged the monitor in using the blue cable the monitor came with, with the 2 blue nobs on the side and you plug and screw it in.....if you can understand ?

should I try using a HDMI cable from the GPU to Monitor?....i will try that tonight asap.

as for the BIOS you mentioned.....I will have to look it up on google lol I dont know what it is...

Thank you,

All good dude :) lemme take a pic of something though, this is just an example pc i have here at work, nothing special:

Have you plugged it into the top circle, or the plugs on the bottom one? Also yeah, you'd be using the DSUB connection, that's the old analogue signal. In the picture I've posted, in the bottom circle, the white connection is DVI; MUCH better picture quality.

Ah this was easily sorted,

The bottom pic is of a dedicated graphics solution, that's where you want to plug your monitor into, preferably using the white cable as cpd mentioned It's DVI (Digital Video Interface)

You might get what's called Overscan on your screen; basically what happens is what's displaying on the screen is a little smaller; same resolution, but it leaves a black border around the outside. That's what I was getting anyway; gave me the shits pretty hard. They're both digital connections, so they'll both be perfectly fine. What size monitor do you have, if you don't mind me asking? Anything that's not super-high-res like the new Dell/Apple 27" screens, DVI is fine (also with Dual-Link DVI when you hit that size, or Thunderbolt for those of us using the Apple screen on Macbook Airs ;) )

TL;DR: HDMI = fine but overscan issues, DVI = winner

Isn't hdmi the same as dvi apart from the ability to also have audio?

Also if you we're to play 3D, wouldn't it run through the one hdmi where as you'd need two connections via dvi??

Point is, if you have hdmi, use that connection. The overscan issue is a weird one, though.

Apparently not; I've come across it a few times in fixing machines. A few different cards too; ATi 4870, nVidia 560Ti, and I can't quite remember what the other one was (about 3 years ago now though).

Either way: Try HDMI, and if it has issues, go DVI :) Cables are cheap enough, anyway. And worst case, if HDMI overscans, then you've got a spare HDMI cable! Whoo!

I just remembered I had a similar issue with my TV via HDMI.

When set to "Scan" it had a black border around the image, but after changing it to "16:9", the black border was gone.

Perhaps need to reset the monitor settings if you also have such an issue...

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
