I mean, if it works, it works right?

You've picked a Ryzen processor and an Intel motherboard.

Have you looked at your power plan?

My GPU failed me recently, wanting to buy one of the newly released nvidia cards. I game at 1080p and play everything ranging from triple A titles to indie games.

Yep, I did, and it still crashed, forgot to update thread.

If those games are all your gonna be playing then a low end Ryzen 5 could suit well - it would allow for more powerful GPU compatibility in the future.

It's crazy how far hardware has come in the last years, the evolution of computer hardware continues to amaze me.

Damn, that's a lot of work.

If you want a proper studio condenser mic, all your gonna need is an audio interface. You can also run your headphones off this and then you get a neat volume knob. I use the Behringer U-Phoria UMC 22, it has phantom power built in, and it also has speaker outs. I'd recommend an Audio Technica AT2020 for a budget ish option.

Damn, just fell for your signature lmao

As said above, right click on the drives, delete the partitions, and reformat.

I have a Palit Jetstream GTX 980 Ti, and I've had a peculiar issue with it in the past few days, that being that my system randomly cuts out and reboots when any load is applied to the card (that being in games). I've figured this out from swapping the card into another system and putting it under load, and the same thing happens, but, I think this might've been a fluke? I only tested it once and came to a very quick conclusion. I bought it in December 2019, and haven't had problems till now. The problem is really inconsistent, sometimes happening every time I dare to load up a game, and sometimes won't happen at all for multiple hours of load. Under no load or very little load it is stable. I decided to fire up MSI Afterburner to see what my temps and usage were like, since I thought maybe I could keep the card below a certain usage to prevent it from crashing my PC? I was playing Skater XL (It crashed many times playing this.). It's semi intensive, using about 50% of my GPU at maxed settings at 1080p. GPU sits at 60-65 degrees ish, normal. However, I noticed the CPU was at 68-69? At 30% load? I sort of brushed it off thinking it must be the card because I put it in the other system. It did perform the same system reboot crash thing in the other system, which I cannot explain, but here is what I did to troubleshoot the card (and my system specs). Ryzen 5 1600u Asus B450 Plus AM4 motherboard Palit Jetstream GTX 980 Ti 16GB 2666mhz Crucial Ballistix DDR4 memory EVGA GS 650w power supply 2x 1TB WD Blue in RAID 1 Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD W10 64bit Now here's what I've tried, in chronological order since the problem started. I used Furmark and a couple games I regularly play to test whether the problem was still persistent. All below was attempted to troubleshoot the GPU. 1. Tried swapping in a new PSU - problem persisted in exactly the same way 2. Tried reseating GPU - multiple times. 3. Tried a couple of different driver revisions, 2 from summer and 2 from winter 2020. 5. Tried to underclock and undervolt the card and/or limit its maximum usage. 4. Applied new thermal paste and deeply cleaned the heatsink and cooler. 5. Tried flashing motherboard BIOS to the latest revision. 6. Tried looking through the event viewer to find a consistent error relating to the card, but found nothing. Today, I thought I'd just check the CPU, it's on the stock cooler, but I was slightly suspicious since 70c seems too high. I realized that 70C at 30% would mean a very high temperature at full load, potentially too high? All the screws on the stock cooler were loose, and one had completely come out. After remounting the cooler with new thermal paste, I got 55C on the same game at the same load. Could this have been the problem? And the crash on the other system a fluke? I'm still skeptical that my GPU could be faulty, but since my CPU is now 20 degrees cooler, idk, that seems major.

Hey, I tried it in another PC, crashed exactly the same when on a game, confirmed the cards screwed.

I can, just not today, could it possibly be my RAID setup?

No....

It's out of my budget.

I tried an RX 470 and I got no problems, my 980Ti still crashes.

I have, and it eliminated the problem.

Ok, heres an update, My temps are significantly lower, maybe 7 degrees less at 100% load, but it still does the same thing, although i managed to play for a whole 30 minutes instead of 5.

ummm, gpu z says the current temp (at idle) is 72??? HWMonitor states 33, and MSI afterburner states 35....

ok, well ill just try change the thermal paste and post here if its fixed.

No, under load lmao.

Temps seem pretty fine, doesnt really go past 70C, but I'll give it a go, thanks

im scared to do that. Whats the process exactly.
