Makes sense! Thanks for taking the time to explain things in ways I can actually understand I think it might be fun to go down the build our own machine route, but we will see. If we do, I'll certainly be asking a lot of questions here! lol For now things seem to be running okay, actually BETTER than what they were before 🤞 I finally went out an bought a new cable for my old monitor and the colors are back where they should be *whew*. Hopefully things remain peaceful over here for a while

what's wrong with a Dell? You recommended the one I have way back in nov of 2019 but alas, my budget wasn't enough to buy something to last I'm sure... Thank you for all the help and time you've spent problem solving all my crap for me!!! I really do appreciate it! Computers are so frustrating for me.

So I changed the color profile back to Srgb and everything looks fine. Can I not calibrate this new monitor ( LG 27" FHD IPS 3-Side Borderless Monitor with Anti-Glare & AMD FreeSync™ (1920 x 1080) - 27MP40W-B)?

As luck would have it it seems machines talk to one another and we now have a fridge on the fritz and a car broke down. No new pc in my future! lol What do you know about colormunki's, other than they've been discontinued? I paid the fee to upgrade the software to make it compatible to the calibrate colorchecker, but something has gone drastically wrong as you can see below 😵‍💫

As Michael Scott --

Oh and It was definitely the cable for the monitor. I unplugged it from the back of the monitor and it basically fell to pieces 😂

I don't think it was mounted correctly at the time, it's all back together now, but running really slowly. I've updated Nvidia's drivers, but am unsure what else I should look for ? Even opening word takes several minutes. SupportAssist on Dell suddenly says it isn't compatible with my OS all the sudden

It's a digibee 400. Not the best light on the market, but I only pull it out 3-6 times a year. If I lower my flash power then I will need to increase my IsO, right? I've always adjusted the flash power to light the scene in situations like this one.

For reference here is the new video card And power supply

Evidentally it has something to do with either the cable for my monitor or the monitor itself. A different monitor seems to work (New monitor LG 27" FHD IPS 3-Side Borderless Monitor with Anti-Glare & AMD FreeSync™ (1920 x 1080) - 27MP40W-B)

Most recent photo with all the stuff inside

Lol. Sorry! It looked simple enough. The display was plugged into the nvidia ports at the bottom. Attached is a photo... Computer was completely unhooked from everything, in a different room in fact, when installing the ram. Seems like all 4 of them are in all the way. Husband even went out and bought a new nvidia card and power supply, but I've been saying too that something must not be hooked up right...

Dell u2412m

All my monitor info is in this thread

Bad news. New sticks came and now the monitor won't leave power save mode. Put the old sticks back in and same thing.
