    astronomical GPU prices?

    Came here to ask this exact question. It's super frustrating that my card is dead, now of all times.

    Can't install AMD driver -- goes to black screen

    Update: black screens started to happen more and more often, even without the driver. I found an old machine with a bad HDD that I'd forgotten about. Pulled the HD 6670 from that one and swapped out my erstwhile R9 270x (forgot the model number :-P). HD 6670 runs great; updated driver and no...

    Wow, thank you so much, noko! I had no idea -- that is super useful!!

    Can't install AMD driver -- goes to black screen

    Any chance I could slap a Linux install on a flash drive to test the card out? No idea if that's even a viable idea ... I've never done anything with Linux :-P

    Can't install AMD driver -- goes to black screen

    Well, switching to 17.7.1 didn't work *at all* ... after a long chain of auto-reboots, it finally took me back to repair mode :-P Something is bad wrong with this thing. Unfortunately, I'm not in a tech-rich environment here . I'll have to poke around and see if I can find another installation...

    Can't install AMD driver -- goes to black screen

    Now, I'm pretty ignorant, but the monitor is plugged into the card. If the card is actually dead, wouldn't it be black screen all the time? Any type of diagnostic I can do short of plugging it in somewhere else? Getting that card into this motherboard was a nightmare I don't wish to revisit :-P

    Can't install AMD driver -- goes to black screen

    A couple of days ago, my computer crashed while playing XCOM2. Screen froze on white and pink lines. So I rebooted. Instead of showing my Win10 login screen, it showed a black screen (not blank, black -- monitor was on as usual). That's weird -- reboot again. Everything looks normal this time...

    How do I auto login on Windows 10?

    I have a Surface Pro 3, and I just upgraded to Win10 from Win8.1. I used to have to login with my password when I rebooted or when I turned it on, but not when I was just waking the device. Now, every time I wake the device, it prompts me to enter the password. Irritating, I think, but I can fix...

    Anyone else not really liking Shadow of Mordor?

    Your experience of this game is (in my opinion) mostly dependent on whether -- and how much -- you played the Arkham games. I played all three games a ton; I played City to near 100%. Since Mordor basically is Arkham: Tolkien Edition, if you're good at Arkham, you'll be really good at this too...

    Thank you so much, good sir! Merry Christmas and a cheerful Boxing Day to you! (rushes off to find a phone case)
