Yeah, if it's both the motherboard and video card, there's something else to it. I would check under the video card's controls and see if it's using the HDMI out as a primary adapter.

Has the HDMI from the motherboard worked before you bought the 730GT?

How many different screens do you have running off the computer right now? Which graphic sources (730/motherboard)?

Does the laptop recognize any drives in BIOS?

Do I correctly understand the following? -You installed Windows on your laptop hard drive -Said drive was moved over your father's laptop? Depending on the chipset variations, that may not always fly. Windows was pickier in older itinerations, especially when chipsets from different vendors...

What budget are you looking at? Is it just for the computer itself or also the keyboard, mouse, monitor, etc? From what I see here, a Core i3 or one of AMD's APU's should be more than sufficient for the needs. You don't need an i7 or Xeon or FX for this. Because of business needs, I would...

What sort of budget are you looking at? I mean, something like what Intel has going with the NUC mini PC would fit the bill. As far as remote operation, Logitech's K400 is pretty cheap ($40 USD or less). All you'd need is a 2.5" hard drive with minimal fuss on finding products. As a suggestion...

So...this year I started with either the mid-life crisis rock n' roll fantasy camp with Rocksmith and a Squire Bullet Stratocaster . I started leaning this way after my Guitar Hero guitar's strum button started working only partially and people wanted at least $80 for one on eBay and Craigslist...

You need to have both the main ATX power connector and the +12V auxillary connector (behind the I/O panel) plugged in. If your power supply doesn't have that, you'll need to get one that does.

Anything good from 500W to 600W will be plenty. A 450W is probably enough. I made some liberal guesses, but the PSU calculator you linked gave 350W for the recommended wattage. I did see a UPS rating for 700 VA, so if you saw that number, that might've lead to some confusion. You can't go wrong...

If it were programmed to take advantage of the maximum RAM, it would. If not now, eventually, yes. 2GB used to be a common size for a hard drive. Now, you're unlikely to see the amount of RAM on a budget system that small. However, it won't be used simply for the sake of using it. Any program...

Every time I've had the option between AC 97 and HD Audio, HD Audio is what works. I think the AC 97 connector is there for legacy motherboards, by which I mean pre DDR1 memory-based motherboards...ancient tech relatively.

The component placement can vary from motherboard to motherboard, so my guess is that most of the time, there's not a problem. If you're still looking for water cooling, you should be able to use the rear 140mm fan spot and be fine. Corsair's H90 is one option, but NZXT and Cooler Master also...

Kits like what Corsair and Cooler Master you're looking at are closed loop and don't/can't be refilled. There are a few in that class out there, but I just got up and the names escape me. Traditionally watercooling systems that were assembled would need system maintenance from time to time...

If it's doing that, you will probably want to start with replacing the power supply, although I wouldn't rule out the motherboard to be safe, as Ghostman suggested. Unless, of course, you want to wait until something really goes bad. I don't see the pictures coming up, but just know a power...

Also, consider that as nice as a closed-loop kit is, there are some nice air coolers around that do a great job. I mean, I had a Corsair H60 for awhile, but found it didn't quite hack it with a Pentium X6800, and moved to a Cooler Master Hyper 212+ EVO. The EVO has actually been a better...

Okay. The Cosmos II does have a lot of space and the LGA 2011 boards tend to have an EATX form factor. Now, some things to put in your head. You've posted about getting two closed loop Titan X's and also running a closed loop CPU water cooling setup. Trying to fit that all in is going to be...

I've never used ASrock before, and I know some folks really like them, but they've had inconsistent quality in the past. They have come a long way, so I wouldn't avoid them. I have dealt plenty with MSI before and have been very pleased with the Z97 SLI Plus in my own system. Also, if you...

There's only one 140mm fan spot on the back, but there's another at the top of the case, although it seems that typically 140mm spots can work with 120mm just fine. With pretty much all modern cases using 120mm fans, putting 2 in the back doesn't seem to be an option. Not to say it doesn't...

$6K? Holy crap if you're building it yourself. Even boutique builders can give you a nice box for that much. Unless we end up with quad SLI or Crossfire, there's plenty left over with that figure. Money is nice and it's yours, but since we're going back to the drawing board, what do you want to...
