  1. That totally worked, thanks! Streamed GTA on Discord while changing the resolution and window options so if anything we’re to happen it definitely would’ve.
  2. I upgraded from a GTX 970 to an RTX 3070Ti, and I've run into an issue where all of my USB devices disconnect under some very specific conditions. Here's one scenario: I use an application called BorderlessWindowed which allows me to run windowed applications in borderless windowed mode without changing the in-game settings. When running GTA V and using this application, all of my devices disconnect upon pressing the hotkey. My devices also disconnect when manually changing between borderless windowed, windowed, and fullscreen in the game and when changing the resolution while in fullscreen mode. The second scenario I've encountered this issue in is when I try to stream on Discord. Whether it be application or screen sharing in any game, the issue will occur at some point during the stream. It can happen when trying to start it or in the middle of it. One thing to note about this GPU upgrade is that I also upgraded my PSU and RAM, but not all at the same time which leads me to confidently say the GPU change is the issue. I used the new PSU with the 970 for about a week without having this issue, and I only upgraded the RAM yesterday but the issue was happening before that upgrade. Still, I'll list full old/new system specs. I've found nothing of this issue because of how specific these scenarios are, but perhaps this is a more common issue than I'm aware of and I haven't been searching correctly. Any help troubleshooting this would be appreciated. Old Specs: Motherboard: Asrock B550 Phantom Gaming 4 CPU: Ryzen 3700X GPU: GTX 970 RAM: 32GB G.skill Ripjaws @ 2300MHz PSU: EVGA Supernova 650W New Specs: Motherboard: Asrock B550 Phantom Gaming 4 CPU: Ryzen 3700X GPU: MSI Gaming X Trio RTX 3070Ti RAM: 32GB G.skill Trident Z RGB @ 3600MHz PSU: Seasonic Focus 750W
  3. I recently upgraded from 16GB to 32GB of RAM by adding two more sticks (yes, exact same model number). Prior to this, I was able to run my PC fine with XMP pushing the RAM from 2330 to 3200MHz. After installing the new RAM, however, I cannot do this without my PC crashing after some time. Specs: Asrock B550 motherboard Ryzen 3700X G.skills Ripjaws 4x8GB RAM GTX 970 EVGA 650W PSU
  4. Okay. My main concern is that I only have one CRC error according to HD Tune Pro so I wasn't sure if that was an issue or if it would need to be a higher number to raise concerns.
  5. I've been having issues with my PC that are described in this post. TLDR of last post: my PC is freezing a lot in the OS, mostly when I click on something. After more troubleshooting and help from different forums, it has come to my attention that my boot SSD has a CRC error. I was just wondering if this is even a possible cause of the issues I'm experiencing, or if I should just ignore the error. I changed the SATA cable and port it's plugged into on the motherboard yet the freezing persists, so I'm wondering if the there is validity to the error and it's indicating a bad drive or if I should keep looking elsewhere.
  6. Quite the opposite, actually. It seems that usage and temperatures all go down as nothing is being processed during these freezes.
  7. This is more of an update to a post I've made before as I am still having the issues. I'm updating the post to show what troubleshooting I've done to hopefully pinpoint the cause of these issues. Original Post: I recently upgraded the hardware in my PC and after that I've been having random hickups where there will be a good 15-20 second freeze where the only thing that responds is mouse movement (and sometimes a YouTube video will continue playing but I cannot interact with it). I will list both my former hardware as well as my new hardware, but one thing to note is that I am still using the same SSD to boot off of as well as the same storage drive. These freezes seem to mostly happen when I do something, and by that I mean when I open or close a new window or click on a file. After these freezes, anything I attempted to do will suddenly happen all at once. Former Hardware: OS: Windows 10 64-bit Motherboard: MSI Z97 Gaming 5 (I do not have the BIOS version, my apologies). CPU: i7 4790k GPU: GTX 970 & GTX 960 RAM: 16GB DDR3 (I do not know the frequency but I believe it's just cheap no-name RAM so likely low). Storage: 256GB SSD (Boot), 1TB WD Blue HDD, & 1TB Toshiba external HDD PSU: EVGA Supernova 650W Current Hardware: OS: Windows 10 64-bit Motherboard: ASRock B550 Phantom Gaming 4 BIOS: v1.10 CPU: Ryzen 3700X GPU: GTX 970 & GTX 960 RAM: G.Skills Ripjaws 16GB 3200MHz Dual Channel Storage: 256GB SSD (Boot), 1TB WD Blue HDD, & 1TB Toshiba external HDD PSU: EVGA Supernova 650W Update: Since that post, I have reinstalled Windows and only backed up my important files that were on the SSD. Still, the freezing persisted. I've also run a Memory Diagnostic and did not come back with any errors. I've updated my motherboard BIOS as well as installed drivers for the B550 chipset but none of this has done me any good, unfortunately.
  8. I did not get any errors, came up clean.
  9. Well, I did the clean install of Windows and then moved back all of the important installations. Unfortunately, the issue has persisted.
  10. No, I did not wipe the SSD. That's what I meant by using the same storage but I should have clarified.

  12. I'm thinking of upgrading my PC in the coming years, but I was wondering if it would be smarter to upgrade my GPU or my CPU (which would entail upgrading RAM, motherboard, and cooler as well). Here is my current setup: i7 4790k @ 4.38GHz Reference GTX 970 16GB DDR3 RAM MSI Z97 Gaming 5 Motherboard My assumption is that it would be more beneficial to upgrade to something like a Ryzen 2 or 3 which would obviously require a new motherboard, DDR4 RAM, and a new cooler which would cost more than just the cost of a GPU, say a used 1080 or 1080ti. My main question is this: will upgrading just the GPU give a more significant upgrade than upgrading everything else, or will it bottleneck and not net much performance making it worth saving up to upgrade everything else? Thanks for the help.
  13. This is sweet Wouldn't mind the Kova
