Recently I upgraded my PC changing out my i3-4170, msi pc mate, and 8gb ddr3 for an R7 1700, b350 tomahawk, and 16gb (4x4) 3000MHz corsair vengeance. I also have Corsair RM850x, Gigabyte GTX 1070 G1 Gaming, and standard ssd/hdd. Every since doing this I have had nonstop crashing in every single game I try to play, and I've ran out of ideas on how to fix. On top of this, my RAM registers as me having 16GB but only 8GB actually works, unless every time I go onto my PC I go into BIOS, change RAM speeds (which doesn't really change) then launch, it then uses 16GB which is weird. In games like Overwatch it'll say: Your rendering device has been lost, I've looked all over their forums and downloaded all the drivers for my PC and don't think this is the problem. I also don't think it's my GPU as it was working fine in my last build. In R6S when I crash my video freezes but I can still hear audio (sometimes looped) So far I've tried: Reinstalling Windows 10 twice Updating BIOS to latest version Downloading chipset drivers *Want to find a way to test ram on its own if possible without buying something like Aida64 GPU does hit like 68 celcius which may affect it I've also tried fixing my memory with the maximum memory boot menu but can't get that to work, so I just sleep my pc to keep the memory at 16gb instead of going into bios every time I've tried underclocking my GPU and have cpu on stock speeds, same with ram on 2133 standard Thanks for any help you can provide, I'm really stuck here and would hate for this to be a hardware problem and would like any help possible. Up for any suggestions

Hi I just launched in safe mode and everything is working. Thanks. But how do I find out which process or app is actually doing it? Should I clean my pc out?

Okay, tomorrow I'm going to try out these suggestions because it didn't occur until right after I built my pc, right after I turned it on this started. I am going to buy a wifi adapter USB and Ethe rent card tomorrow to start, then if that still kills the Internet I'll try these. Thanks

Hi, I just rebuilt my PC adding in a GTX 1070, Corsair RM850X, and changed my case to a 760t. Now everything works on the PC, but I did handle my motherboard like shit when changing case and now when I turn on my pc with the ethernet plugged into my motherboard everything else on WiFi just loses Internet and only I get it on my PC. I've looked into it a little and apparently it's my NIC that's broken, and I think Im gonna get a new ethernet pci slot and a wifi adapter. I know my pc doesn't have malware and checked to make sure a program didn't eat it. Is this the correct thing to do? Is my motherboard screwed? If any networky people can help I'd appreciate it because I'm lost.

Yea this stand is garbage haha, go for the rode psa1 if you have the money.

I can wear mine all day and not have any comfort issues. I don't know how to judge sound as I'm not an audiophile, but they can pick up anything, from the smallest backbeats in music to the background noise in people's terrible mics.

lol amazing build

Yeah it really sucks that the "gaming" colours are black and red, I don't know what started it, all I know is asus literally could trademark it right now haha. (sarcasm)

seems like a weird combo, but you do you.

Yea that's quite small, I think I'm going black and red theme as well, aftermarket cards are normally black and red, it's just easier for me, literally the only white GPU is the HOF. I wish they made more GPUs for different themes.

Wow, what are the dimensions of that case?

You remove them? Get that handywork in. I honestly don't know why 5.25 bays'' exist.

Yea, loads of people love this thing, I like it a little, I've watched like 10 reviews of it, I dont know if I want a mid tower of full though, but I just wish they had actual white. I might go for the black one though.

Wow, never seen a psu mounted like that. Blowing air into the sidepanel lol.

That ones decent, I think a 760T or 750D would be nice for me, but apparantly everyone is getting crushed by phanteks right now, so im not sure, I think I'll look on newegg, thanks for help, you can send me more to see though :D.
