@IsaacDaGrazin I can't tell if you're implying that it's obvious, or pointing out an issue with that particular GPU...

I mean, a GPU cannot make the pc lock up.

I had some issues with it right off the bat, with the display driver freezing up for 30 - 60 seconds at a time and recovering. There's a thread for it here, but the TL;DR version is Chrome was using Hardware Acceleration and that was messing with the display drivers or something. Turning off Hardware Acceleration seemed to fix that issue.

 

Now I'm running into a new, more sinister issue. It started about a week ago, and for a little bit it looked like the same issue was back again. Her computer would freeze, display some weird colors/patterns, and finally recover. Then it stopped recovering. Keep in mind, this whole time she's only using Chrome and Spotify for some light browsing. Not a ton of tabs open, nothing super taxing going on in the background.

 

Pretty quickly, within a matter of hours, the display driver stopped recovering. She could get 10 - 15 minutes of use out of her computer before needing to restart it. That was all within the first day.

I tried a number of fixes. I completely uninstalled all display drivers using DDU, and reinstalled the latest version. I tried installing older versions that people who were experiencing similar issues reported as being stable for them. I tried reseating the graphics card. 

 

Her computer would be perfectly usable when I uninstalled Nvidia's driver, and simply ran of the default display driver. As soon as I tried installing an Nvidia driver so she could play games, the thing would go right back to not working.

 

So I reinstall Windows. I'm taking my time, installing a single driver at a time, and restarting between each one. I get to the fateful Display Driver, and it goes through, with no issues. It seems to be doing fine, so I start running Windows Easy Transfer to get her user profile installed from before the wipe. While that was running, the display conked out again. Same as before. Crazy colours all across the screen, and no indication of recovering.

 

Dyeing GPU 100%

This is either your CPU (idk how, could be the cause though?) or the HDD (stopping for some odd reason? head stuck?), although I wouldn't say that these are the cause until we sort out the GPU.

Check for physical damage in the gpu slot, any scratches or anything looking out of order.

Try the gpu in another slot if possible

Test the gpu in another computer (yours or a friends)

RMA the GPU then when they send you a fresh one install it, then update us, if it still has those problems reply back.

11/10 would title again

max settings?

The provided default cable that came with the monitor works flawlessly, though it is very awkward to have the cable running over my keyboard and being at extreme tension..

seriously?

can you see now?

yeah the computer boot up but it just ran the cpu instructions i believe it said no bios detected. Also I didn't break the computer neither did anyone else but it was probably something natural

ah okay, have you contacted dell about this? check the physical bios chip and battery, might of broke? its possible

thanks for being so cooperative and informative!

CX550M blew up during a pretty light gaming session.  It was too late to call corsair today but it's only a couple months old so i expect ill be able to rma no problem.  

 

Will corsair only exchange like-for-like or can i upgrade to something more reliable.  Or do they offer refunds? 

 

I was happy with the cx430 I already had,  but apparently I should have done some more research 

try this pic for your profile

Oh come on! Please!

Yes it will

Won't be the best though

rip  mobo, the whole case got smashed, like the poor hdd was smashed and involved in the incident of the reproduction

edit: oh my fucking god why am i finding this so funny?! im literally dyeing here lmfao

why did you say mate so many times?

and i thought you meant htc vive ;-;

My clickbait is unreal.

 

Anyway, I was genuinely curious, this game seems to be the only one i've played that the cpu has been a bottleneck. Considering this game is two and a half years old & it's bottlenecking pretty bad I should probably upgrade my cpu lol

BATTLE FIELD 4 IS 2 YEARS OLD?! WHAT THE FUCK? I THOUGHT IT WAS RELEASED LIKE A MONTH AGO BY BETHESDA STUDIO

i swear i remember all the hype like 3 days ago

Why didn't you call medic at 0:58? Are you scared of the medic shoving the E key up your ass?

Yeah that happened to me, Legend says its still there, in my ass

it wasn't nice ;-;

fuck you medic ;-;

It should be. The issue is that the wireless router that you're connected to is intercepting your traffic, which is nothing to do with us, and there's nothing we can do about it (though our configuration is why you can't bypass that security prompt, in return for extra security). I doubt that it's configured to intercept all traffic once you've logged in, but it is possible.

oh okay thanks!
