  1. Temps are very low so it's not over heating. I have xmp enabled. How do I DDU the drivers? It did this exact thing before upgrading the cpu, mobo, ram, cpu cooler. Makes me thing the GPU is dying.
  2. Never thought about a background program causing it. Restarting my computer does fix the issues. When it happens again I have to restart again.
  3. R5 3600, MSI Tomahawk Max, Samsung SSD, Western Digital HDD, EVGA gtx 1070 FTW, EVGA 650 watt Gold psu, G. Skill 3600 ram. I recently upgrade some parts of my PC. Before upgrading, my computer was having serious frame drops and lagging in things such as youtube, and web pages(it's lagging just typing this, the letters are delayed). It's still having these problems. I didn't replace the GPU, HDD, SDD, PSU, so it has to be one of these causing my problems. When playing games I get stuttering/freezing and frame drops. When watching youtube the video will sometimes freeze/stutter, it's doing it really really bad right now. The screen will freeze, audio will continue, then it will choppily resume the video. The lag is so bad on youtube right now, it shows the loading circle, and sometimes goes down to 480p from 1080p. Typing is laggy too, just typing this is a pain, I can type multiple words but it takes seconds to catch up and actually show up on the screen. What do you all think the problem is?
  4. This is the one I was originally looking. Not sure how I missed these reviews. I'll stick with this. Thanks
  5. I'm trying to finish up my R5 3600 build and I'm googling my ass off looking at QVLs trying to figure out which ram to go with. From what I've seen so far, I might go with the below ram, but it's a little more than I want to spend. I'm trying to find 3200 CL 14 or 3600 CL 16 for around $100 or less. If I need to spend more than $100 I will, but I'd prefer not to because I'm poor. Right now I'm looking on G.Skill and Corsair websites. The corsair in my price range is either 3600 CL 18 or 3200 CL16, I don't want CL18. G.skill lists only 3200 ram on their website, all are CL16 other than the below ram which is CL14. Any recommendations other than this ram? https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820232530?&quicklink=true
  6. It will probably be a while before another upgrade, my current build is 5 years old. It's just for gaming and school work, school work is basic stuff. The GPU will either be my current 1070, or a upgrade to a 2070 or 5700xt. I might mess with a gpu overclock too but not sure.
  7. That's what I'm leaning toward since it's cheaper and has good reviews for the most part. I'm trying to decide if I like the look of it, and I've seen some reviews say it doesn't handle overclocking well.
  8. I'm going to get either the R5 3600 or the 3600x. I'm trying to decide between these motherboards. I plan to overclock and would like to get some opinions on which to go with. MSI B450 Tomahawk max https://www.newegg.com/msi-b450-tomahawk-max/p/N82E16813144267?Description=tomohawk&cm_re=tomohawk-_-13-144-267-_-Product&quicklink=true Gigabye X570 Gaming X https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-x570-gaming-x/p/N82E16813145161?&quicklink=true I'm tempted to go with the GIGABYTE X570 AORUS ELITE because it looks better but also like saving money. https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-x570-aorus-elite/p/N82E16813145160
  9. I'd prefer to pay as little as possible, but I can afford any of those combos, I don't mind paying a little extra if it makes more sense to get the I5 or 3600x. I was looking at the B450 but keep reading mixed reviews, I've seen many say not to use it for overclocking and the BIOS sucks. I've read the Gigabyte boards have a great BIOS and good for OC. Maybe others will chime in about the B450
  10. I'm working on upgrading from a I5-4690 with a Asus H97 Pro Gamer Mobo. Trying to decide between these 3 similar combos. I've never overclocked, but I plan to oc whatever I go with. This is mainly used for gaming; with BF5, BF1, and Rust being the most demanding games I play. I plan to eventually get another 1440p monitor since mine broke. I've read that when you OC Ryzen, it gets worse in games instead of better, not sure if it's true. Currently have a EVGA GTX 1070 FTW, but I might get a 5700xt. Also, I tend to have like 20 google tabs up on dual monitors, with discord, a game, and youtube all going at the same time. $354 Ryzen 5 3600 GIGABYTE X570 AORUS ELITE $390 Ryzen 5 3600X GIGABYTE X570 AORUS ELITE $415 Intel I5-9600k GIGABYTE Z390 AORUS ELITE
  11. Yeah benchmarks are similar, with the 5700 xt doing better in some games, like BF5 which is one I play. I'm just worried about all the bad reviews I'm seeing, such as crashing, and being unstable due to bad drivers.
  12. I might end up using the 1070 and if I'm not happy with the fps I get then upgrade. Can't decide. The rest of my build is 5 years old and giving me problems.
  13. I'm working on upgrading my computer and am now looking at GPUs. I have a EVGA GTX 1070 FTW right now, I planned on keeping it but kind of want a newer card. I was set on the 5700xt since it's cheaper than the 2070, but I've found a 2070 that is the same price, and I'm concerned about the poor reviews of the 5700xt due to bad drivers causing problems. The rest of the build will likely be 16gb 3600 DDR4 ram, R5 3600x or 3600, X570 mobo. Out of these 2 cards, what would yall go with? Or something else similar priced, preferably less. https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-2070-gv-n2070wf2-8gd-rev-3-0/p/N82E16814932226?&quicklink=true https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-radeon-rx-5700-xt-gv-r57xtgaming-oc-8gd/p/N82E16814932208?&quicklink=true
  14. WINDOWS 10, 16bg ddr4 ram, 250gb ssd 1tb hdd, evga 650wat psu
  15. GTX 1070, I5-4690, asus h97 pro gamer. I've been getting horrible fps drops, and when the fps drops my computer freezes. In World of Warships I'll be at 60 fps, then when pretty much anything happens it will drop to 1-7 fps and freeze, BF5 will drop frames from around 100fps to 50 and freeze, Hearthstone will only max at 31 and drop non stop with freezing. Pretty much any game will drop fps and freeze, then I usually come back dead. What could be the problem? Everything is up to date and nothing is covered in dust to cause over heating.
  16. The other monitor doesn't use DP, so I can't try that option. Both DP cables did not work, my monitor said no signal both times, and my computer couldn't detect it. When I used the HDMI cable my monitor worked. So I'm not sure if the DP port on the GPU is bad or if it's the DP port on the monitor.
  17. I have a EVGA GTX 1070 FTW that is about 3 months old, I got it to replace a bad R9 290x. A few hours ago both monitors were working fine, then when I came home and turned on my computer only one was working. I updated the gpu drivers and it stayed the same, tried a new Display port cable and it stayed the same, plugged in a HDMI cable and it came on. My monitor is also new, its a AOC G2460PF. Do you guys think it's a problem with the GPU, Monitor or something else? Sometimes google chrome will freeze when I'm watching youtube, and when it comes back the video goes green, I read this could be GPU related too but I'm not sure if it's the GPU or just google
  18. What do you guys recommend for a good GPS? I need something fast, like the speed of google maps on your phone. I also need voice activated so I can just tell it where to go as I'm starting to move. I have a new job where I'm going to a lot of houses each day and need to go fast. I'd use my phone, but I'm on a shared plan and it'll eat up data.
  19. I was thinking white too. I can't find any pictures though because everyone does red/black.
  20. I just got a red/back H440 since it'll match my monitor, keyboard, and mouse. I'm thinking about putting in a white or silver motherboard when I upgrade and wanted to see if anyone has pictures if you've done it.
  21. Based on looks, which one should I get? Also white/black or black/red? I can't decide. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16811146205 https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146218&cm_re=NZXT_H440-_-11-146-218-_-Product https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16811853040
