Nice game of choice, looks clean, sure! Looks good overall

I guess I would just keep going until something worse happens, because it seems that it doesn't have an affect on performance, and is very isolated in terms of its occurrence. I didn't know if you contacted them, so I assume they may have a software fix for the issue somehow, but since you did, I now know that the issue couldn't be resolved without wasting time RMAing it, so I would just enjoy your card for the time being

That's really odd, especially because of the circumstances when it comes to when it happens. I had a problem like that, but only at random intervals, and never when it was powering down for seemingly an entirely different reason. And that sucks that you've had bad experiences with cards, but resolving the issue with the manufacturer ASAP will help you get rid of the problem as soon as possible, so I apologize for the inconvenience, but I would recommend contacting them in case there is anything they can do about it without you having to send it in

That's not normal at all. You should probably check if there is any potential obstruction in the way of the fans spinning. I had a similar problem with my R9 280, and it was because I had a zip tie that I forgot to cut stuck in it when I was cable managing my system. If this keeps happening for some reason, just contact the vendor or manufacturer for troubleshooting/RMA/returns

Here is an Intel i9 build if you want it, won't impact GPU performance too much because 1070 Ti is not that much different, but if the CPU-bound performance is that important to video editing, then here you go: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant Type Item Price CPU Intel - Core i9-9900K 3.6GHz 8-Core Processor $529.99 @ Amazon CPU Cooler Noctua - NH-D15 82.5 CFM CPU Cooler $84.35 @ Newegg Motherboard Asus - Prime Z370-A ATX LGA1151 Motherboard $159.99 @ Amazon Memory G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4-2400 Memory $229.99 @ Newegg Storage Hitachi - Deskstar NAS 4TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive $133.85 @ OutletPC Video Card Gigabyte - GeForce GTX 1070 Ti 8GB WINDFORCE Video Card $359.99 @ Newegg Case NZXT - H500 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case $69.99 @ Amazon Power Supply SeaSonic - EVO Edition 620W 80+ Bronze Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply $41.05 @ Newegg Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total (before mail-in rebates) $1659.20 Mail-in rebates -$50.00 Total $1609.20 Generated by PCPartPicker 2018-10-18 15:44 EDT-0400

What about TR 1920X, considering it has 50% more cores? Just curious

I would personally get really fine tweezers and trying to remove the metal that way. Bending the metal could risk damaging the port, and won't help the port become usable anyways.

The Sennheiser HD598/598SE and the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro's come to mind. DT 770 Pro's have a fun sound signature, really good sound stage for Closed Back headphones, and they are closed back so you can listen to music in public, but even more so, they are hard to drive, so try to find an AMP if you go with these, and if you use them on the go, get the 80 Ohm variant, because the 250 Ohm is really hard to drive. If you get the HD598s, please note that they are hard to drive, but they aren't as aggregious as the DT770 Pros. They are open backed, meaning that they leak sound so using them in public is a no-go, but it makes them more immersive. They have the usual Sennheiser veil, and they sound pretty good as well.

Update: I may have found the culprit. There is a background process called snnpodv.exe and it is not letting me close it, saying the access is denied. What should I do now?

Possibly, this is the first time in a while I have done a scan. Also it is not letting me use Razer Synapse now. I haven't had this problem until now and my hard drive doesnt have any bad sectors or anything. Now I am pretty sure it is a virus as it keeps making me reinstall MBAM and keeps disabling real-time protection.

I am trying to scan my E:/ Drive for malware with Malwarebytes. The issue lies when I try to it immediately BSODs and makes me force restart it every time. Thanks for taking the time to help me out.

lol. assuming that i wanted my headphones to be broken. i would rather have a semi broken pair of nice headphones then a fully broken pair of headphones...

I have had my DT770s for around 5 months, feeling great about their sound signature and build quality. But then I noticed that I could not hear out of one side of the headphones. I did not mind too much, and went on. And then, while listening to music, the cable just ripped off. I did take good care of them. I did some research and found out that this is a well-known issue with the DT-770s. But I don't know if I should go through the trouble of actually RMAing these. I have heard that their support is great in Germany, but is flaky in the U.S. If anybody had this issue or an experience with Beyerdynamic's Support, I would like to know so I could further proceed with audio monitoring. Thank you for any information.
