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

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!!

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

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...

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

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...

Percy, if OP is not interested, I might be -- PM me.

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...

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)

Gavv, thank you so much! I've waiting for a replacement for wallbase for EVER.

PM me for a free copy of Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs and/or for one of two free copies of Risk of Rain.

I bought this for a friend, but he doesn't want it and Steam won't take it back. I'm interested in games or cash. PM me with offers.

Thank you for what's already been posted! I recently put together a big map-of-the-world puzzle, and it got me thinking that some high-quality, high-detail maps of various continents and regions of the world might make an ideal set of wallpapers; they'd be fun to look at (I love geography) and...

I'm finding a lot of stuff on Google, but the quality is really uneven. Are there any sites or collections that specialize in high-quality high-res maps?

PM me with offers

Bump

If anyone's interested but didn't back, I have some extra copies that I'm willing to trade for other games (many of which are / may be on sale right now). See my thread here.

I have two extra copies at my Kickstarter pledge level and am interested in trading for this. Since this is sale time, seems like a good chance for you to get this game on the cheap, even though it's brand new. (Doesn't have to be Steam, but I assume that's what people most likely have). If...

Black, black, gunmetal gray, and more black.

Batman: Arkham City. Asylum, too, for whatever it's worth :-)

Well, I realized it was the mouse when I decided to switch over to using my laptop, plugged in my wireless mouse receiver, and the same thing happened. Since they're completely different makes, models, and types of mobo/chipset, I'm thinking it must just be the mouse itself. Yes?

I think I've accidentally figured it out. It IS the darn mouse, after all. Here's the deal -- if the mouse receiver is plugged in when Windows starts, it screws up the mouse for the duration of the session, even if other mice are plugged in. If I reboot with a different mouse plugged in and the...

Tried live-booting into Linux out of frustration, and it works just fine. It's a Win7 thing. I have NO IDEA what's going on. Any suggestions?

OK, I'm back with more data (and more frustration). The symptoms, such as they are, seem to be worsening. Now it starts about one minute after logging into Windows, and I can no longer right-click on anything. The mouse pointer still moves around, and when I unplug it and plug it back in, it'll...

Started happening a couple of days ago; no new software that I'm aware of. After running for a while (after fifteen minutes in one case, after twelve hours in another) the computer suddenly stops responding to mouse clicks in windows (active or inactive) or in the task bar. I can still...

Yeah, I can get it on Amazon, but I don't see it on sale there, either :-)

Uh ... but ... it's not. I got NFSMW for buying SimCity. I'm interested in the DLC. It's too expensive. I want to buy it cheaper. Wondering if/where I could do that. Not sure where you're seeing 'troll.'

So I bought SimCity for a friend and -- hooray! -- got a free game out of the deal. I picked up NFS: Most Wanted, which I'm really enjoying except for some small performance issues. Since I got the game for free, I'm not at all averse to getting the DLC, but I was wondering if it ever goes on...

Yeah, that sounded kind of snarky. I'm sorry; I didn't intend it that way. It's probably just not showing up for me because I'm in China. Thanks again for your help!

THANK YOU SO MUCH! It totally worked and solved the problem! I had read about the upper/lower thing on the Microsoft site, but several people (including the rep) were saying it was for Vista only. Huh. Just goes to show, eh? Again, THANK YOU ALL!

Ironically, your error message image is a busted link.

Yeah, it's actually saving it as a reg file. I'm not insulted -- I obviously need help here :-D

Guys, I really feel stupid here. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but it keeps telling me it's invalid. I'm copy-pasting into notepad, saving it as fix.reg, running regedit, choosing 'import,' selecting that file, telling it 'OK' when it says 'Computer' will be overwritten, and it says "Cannot...

Wow, thank you so much for your really fast reply! OK, so I admit freely that I'm not experienced with registry editing. I tried copying, saving, and running. It gave me an 'invalid key' message and quit out on me. I ran regedit and tried importing. Same message ('invalid key'). I clicked on...

Hey, [H]. I'm attempting to repair a friend's laptop here and I've gotten nowhere after a few hours, so I thought I'd bring it here for advice. Friend has an Dell Inspiron 5050 with a Matshita DVD+-RW UJ8C1 drive in it running Win7 x64 SP1. A couple of weeks ago (after she upgraded to iTunes...
