what are your sound drivers? try re installing sound drivers of the motherboard. 

This fixed it for me, I think UDD deinstalled my sound drivers for my motherboard, thanks!

Hello,

Yesterday, I installed my new RX 570, and now my sound is really low, but it worked fine yesterday.

I uninstalled my previous NVidia drivers and installed AMD ReLive and AMD Adrenalin 18.10.2 drivers.
I have already looked in my volume control panel in windows and there was nothing wrong there

I checked a another device on my headphones, and they work fine.
I updated my drivers in Windows, and that didn't fix the problem

It seems I'm also missing the option to use my monitor's speakers when I choose my sound device
My headphones are plugged into my case's audio ports

Laptop HDD's should work fine in a desktop

The 780 and 280x are pretty comparable in terms of performance. The 780 is slightly faster.

Thanks, I'll keep this in mind!

Hello everyone,

My gpu died this weekend, and I am looking for a secondhand gpu around 120 euro's.

I mostly see GTX 770's and 780's from team green and r9 280(x) and 380(x) from team red around this price point.

Which one is the best one to buy?

Do you have a bad overclock? 

Otherwise, sounds like a PSU issue like you thought.

Hope this helps!

I haven't overclocked anything on this system, so that's not it

Have you checked your event log, or ever get any BSODs?  So you've pretty much eliminated a software issue, and made the right move to suspect hardware.  But technically what your describing can be anything, but if a piece of hardware is making a noise that it shouldn't be, I'd start there first.  Grab a PSU from the store,  replace and test.  If it doesn't fix the problem,  return. and move on to GPU, HDD etc.

The strange thing that I forgot to mention was that I didn't get any crash dumps or BSOD's, but I will borrow my friend's 600W PSU to check if the problem is my PSU

Hello,

I'm having these weird crashes when I am using my pc for gaming or just using the internet.

My pc locks up and the audio starts spazzing like there is no tomorrow, and then it shuts itself off and restarts.

I have a motherboard beeper in my pc and it gives me just regular startup beep and in some cases a videocard error.

I tried reinstalling my drivers and I tested a another windows install on my backup disc and this didn't fix the error.

I also hear a weird click coming from my power supply when it restarts, so I am currently thinking that my old PSU is failing.

my specs:

CPU: amd fx 8350 with a Corsair h100i

RAM: 4*4gb ddr3

GPU: gigabyte geforce gtx 670 2gb

PSU: cooler master 750 watt 80 plus certified (I don't know the name of this unit, but it is the oldest part in my system)

Motherboard: gigabyte ga-990fxa-ud3

Storage: 240gb OCZ SSD and a 2tb Toshiba 7.2K rpm HDD

I've used an FX6300 and ASRock 970 Extreme4, so I know a bit about this combination. Looking at that board, the VRM has no heatsink it seems, could you see how hot they're getting? If they get too hot they will derate and cause the CPU to either go slower or shut off all together

 

These are the temps that are showing up after a couple of hours of gaming

If you want a sennheiser, a GSP 300 is a good choise for your budget.

Could be something as simple as you having AC and keeping your ambient temperature lower, or him having a lousier power supply making the VRM work more.

 

But I agree, it could be OK (not a problem with the vrm and cooling) and then the fault could be in some drivers or some background services (antivirus, windows update, waking suddenly)

We haven't reinstalled windows yet, and I think that that causes the issues.

ATM i don't think its the VRM's. VRM overheating issues result in CPU throttle, he would be seeing it a constant lower performance rather then random drops (then again what has been said above GTA V may be worrying). I recommend turning of in bios amd cool and quit all C states and power saving features, in windows set the power plan for best performance and then run the games while monitoring for temps and speeds, if CPU speed drops and it stays dropped for a while then yes i am afraid its a throttle problem. If it happens to work fine then it was just because of the power saving options, but do something about cooling those VRM's because its kind of at its limit and do not OC.

I already checked for throttling and the clock speeds stayed at 4GhZ constantly and temps never got above 65C. We haven't changed anything in the BIOS execpt updating and checking if it recognized the CPU.

what were his fps numbers like with the 4300? because i wouldnt directly stamp those numbers as extremely abnormal.

GTA V was about 40FPS and BF1 was running around 30FPS with some drops to 20.

That motherboard has a somewhat undersized VRM (the dc-dc converter which transforms 12v down to 1.3v or whatever the CPU uses).

It can power 125w TDP processors like the FX-83xx series, but it would be pushed hard unless it gets extra cooling. You could say it's a VRM that's "optimized" for 95w TDP or less, with stock coolers that blow air DOWN on the cpu and by design, the air flow would blow sideways over the VRM mosfets as well.

Using the Pure Rock, there's no air flowing downwards, the air is pushed by the fan through the heatsink blades and then straight out the case, so there's minimal air flow on the VRM to the left of the CPU (between the back connectors and cpu)

 

The VRM may throttle down from time to time if it overheats, forcing the cpu to lower its frequencies for a short period.

I personally do not think that this is the issue, because I have used the same motherboard with the same processor in it and had no issues at all.

Hello,

My friend just upgraded his CPU from an FX 4300 to an FX 8350 and he has perfrormance issues in PUBG, GTA V en BF1.

The CPU is cooled by a Be Quiet Pure Rock and the CPU gets a max temperature of 60C when under load.
His FPS in BF1 are 70FPS but randomly drops to 10 - 15 FPS, even on low settings, and in GTA V he gets 50FPS max with every kind of settings.

He has updated his bios to the latest version.

His Specs:
CPU: AMD FX 8350

GPU: R7 370 4GB

RAM: 2x4 Corsair Vengeance 1333 DDR3

MOBO: ASRock 970 Pro 3 R2.0

try DDU to flush all the old broken crap and fresh install new drivers.

The drivers are working correct now.

Thanks!

Hello

Geforce experience isnt working on an old system with a nvidia geforce gt 740.

It is telling me that I need to restart the system and try again, but I tried that many times already.

I get the same message when I want to deinstall it

I think that's it?  Assuming those update programs work on a modern PC.

I will try this tomorrow after I tried some other HDD's that I have lying around and check if those are working in my system

It's a shot in the dark but maybe this 1TB drive is old and has some odd quirks.  Can you list the model number?

The Hard Drive is a samsung HD103SJ

Is the operating system installed on the 1TB HDD in UEFI or legacy BIOS mode? And maybe the specs of your old PC may also help.

The OS is currently installed on the 160GB HDD.

The specs of my old pc are:

CPU: Intel core 2 quad q6600
Motherboard ASUS P5K-E/WIFI AP

RAM: OCZ gold 2x2GB DDR2

GPU: MSI Radeon hd 6870 Twin Frozr II

Does the old drive have any data on it?

Yes

Hello,

I recently bought a new pc and I wanted to add my old 1TB HDD to the 160gb HDD that was pre-installed.

I tried only booting from the 1tb to test if it was conflicting with the 160gb drive.

The drive does not show up in the BIOS in my new pc.

It is working in my old pc without any problem.

I tried plugging it into a another SATA port and swapped the SATA cables.

Specs of new pc:

CPU: AMD FX 8350

Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3

RAM:4x4GB Corsair DDR3

GPU: GIGABYTE GTX 670 2GB

PSU: Cooler Master 750watt non modular

I think it's a thing in Nvidia ShadowPlay. Press ALT+Z --> go to settings (if you can't click on the settings button disable instant reply) and in the settings go to HUD settings and schoose the first option and turn it off.

 

(I have ShadowPlay in finnish so everyting isn't translated correctly)

This seemed to fix my problem.

Thanks!

Hello,

So, I got a new PC today and I noticed that I had a small box in the bottom right corner of my screen when I play any game in full screen.

This is really distracting and it covers my steam messages too.
This box doesn't show up in screenshots so I had to take a picture with my phone
OS: Windows 10 64 bit (Fresh install)

Thanks

If you already have 4GB or less ram in, yes.

Great! Thanks!

That board can take up to 8GB max of DDR2 memory, so if you have under that amount of memory: yes.

So if I install 2 more sticks (I currently have 2*2) it will work?
