GeForce 9800 GTX+. It's solid for blur, Unreal Tournament 2004, RimWorld. Heavily recommend!

When I plug my ps5 controller into my pc, not only does it set it as the default audio device, but it actually removes my headset as an audio device from my pc. I can look at my audio devices, see my headset there, and immediately when I plug the ps5 controller in, my headset completely disappears. It will not come back until i restart my system and unplug and plug the headset back in. In the past, I have had to change the default audio device to the controller, but I have never had it completely remove my headset from my system before. I have disabled the controller as an audio device, but when I plug it in, it still removes the headset as a device and instead of audio coming through the controller, it comes through my monitor. Extremely confused on this issue and have looked for a solution everywhere.

I cant reveal our cost, but retail is 2849.99 CDN

Eh? 3070 > FH5 and RDR2 does fine at 3440x1440p

Thanks guys. This one is working quite well. My only pet peeve is that it doesn't automatically detect a site that is already in native dark mode, but you can disable it site specific & set site specific options.

Isn't that just the tech sack/pouch i can not remember the exact wording

So I'm having some issues with OCing my setup after upgrading RAM and PSU, specifically OCing the CPU and RAM. I also upgraded graphics but I don't think it's related to the issue. I feel like it's something simple and I'm just being daft. Everything listed here is from memory as I'm away from home. I literally stayed up all night to try and figure this out. To preface I currently have a Ryzen 7 2700(not x), ASUS ROG Crosshair VI Hero WiFi(most recent bios it would flash without black screening is 6201), Radeon RX 7600xt, 64gb ddr4 3600mhz TForce Vulcan Z Ram (4x16), and a 1000W Gigabyte UD1000GM PG5 PSU. The only way the system will post is if I leave everything default or use the mildest auto OC. CPU target is ~3200mhz I think, but ram was only 2400mhz. Used to I could OC my CPU to ~3.9-4.0ghz stable but now if I touch it or the ram it fails to post, everything spins to life but no power to peripherals and black display until it gives me the boot failed bios memory reset or whatever after like 3 auto reboots. In CPU Z both clocks are reading correctly (except ram is only 1200mhz with ddr and all). Lastly only half of my ram is showing up as usable and half is hardware reserved. I don't know how to change that and didn't see anything in bios though it does pick up all 4 sticks but shows memory as ~32gb. Hopefully someone can help!

What games do you normally play as well? Is it good for that game?

@dogwitch Fine, I've updated the topic

Yea that's what it seemed when I started researching and looking. I guess a moot point now that I'm going with a desktop and the 4070 looks to offer great performance for the price.

Ahh, alright. Thanks a lot! We'll look into how to use linux as we both are unfamiliar with how to use and install that os. Praying for the sake of our uni projects!

That, try it in another machine, possibly from a live linux boot... if it's recognised with proper capacity you can use e.g. ddrescue to make an image of it and hopefully mount it then, if it still freezes or doesn't get recognised correctly there's nothing you'll be able to do outside of using a data recovery company.

If it has gone bad, is there a way to recover any files from it or is it doomed...

Unable to do that in current moment, it's just that the other one works fine that makes us think that shouldn't be an issue!

Perhaps try the SSD in another slot or in another PC. Though seems it's gone bad.

Could you try the SSD in another machine?

My friend recently couldn't boot his computer and got sent straight to the bios despite it working perfectly the day before. He since then has bought a new harddrive and it's working seemlessly which led us to believe the old one could be faulty. However, he has some files there that are important as well as the fact we both are bummed and stubborn and left to wonder if there are any potential fixes. So to get to what we are able to see, inside of the diskmanager the "faulty" drive shows up as a unknown device with every information blank. As well as when it was plugged in along side the new ssd it took about 5 minutes to boot but without sending us to the bios. I'll attach some photos and help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance

Yes they do spin
