iHasCube

Hey, ya, I did do speed tests and I get roughly 900mb/s up and down through my ethernet connection. The downloads start slow and ramp up, usually within like 1 minute they reach the max speed that I have gotten so far. I never thought about it being a heat thing though. I bought a Netgear Nighthawk R6700v3 for dirt cheap like 3 years ago and it has been awesome since with no issues, especially for how cheap I got it on sale. So I guess I wouldn't be shocked if it is just getting hot with prolonged downloads and causing the bottleneck.

Hi all, So I just upgraded to gigabit internet today, so naturally to test it, I go to Steam and find the biggest game I can find to download. When downloading, it maxes at about 33MB/s (roughly 264mb/s), and I know it can be the Steam servers, so I tried a few, plus deleted my download cache on Steam, and I can't seem to get any faster. I double checked my SSD that I install to with CrystalDiskMark and it's plenty capable to write faster (it is roughly 500MB/s read/write). I also checked to make sure my CPU isn't bottlenecking, and it is not, it's a i7-8770k at 4.3GHz when boosted and it is definitely not bottlenecking when checking on CPU and SSD usage. I tried downloading games from other clients (Xbox, EA, Ubisoft, Blizzard) and none of them reach as high as Steam as well. To add, all the other extra clients get a max of like 16MB/s as well for whatever reason. I know companies can put limits on speeds on their clients, however I've seen images of people downloading faster. I am not using a VPN or any weird settings on my PC that would bottleneck the downloads, that wouldn't be set by the OS at least. Any ideas or anything? When doing speed tests on multiple different devices in my house, when connected to ethernet, they get roughly 900up and down, just not when downloading games off clients for whatever reason. Thanks all!

Update: Took out 1 of my RAM and it went to boot cycle. Took out GPU to start up and still black screening with no motherboard boot up logo. This at least rules out the most expesive piece to replace. I have yet to update bios since I cant fully turn on my PC to update it. Update Update: Booted up on another BIOS (manually switched it on motherboard) and its working, so I think BIOS A is corrupt. I have yet to restart my pc though to see if maybe it just was a fluke and it was the 1% of the time it decides to boot up.

I've updated my gpus, I don't know why I haven't tried on my Mobo yet. I will when I get home from work (if it wants to start up for me). Thanks! I'll let you guys know if it helps!

Also I should add, the reason why I think it's Mobo issues is because I've always had a problem with it, where it wouldnt boot past the motherboard screen, but it wasn't that big of a deal to me personally.

I'm running latest win 10 update. The one where it shuts your computer off to turn it back on 5 times to update...that was about a 3 hour update for me because of all the restarts and my problem...

Hey, first time ever posting here and needed some help with my PC I built a few years back and just started having issues with recently. The problem I'm having is only on start up or coming from hiberation. If I put it to sleep its ok, oddly. So when I hit the power button its a black screen and the gpu fans go from 0-100% speeds off and on about every 10 seconds. Sometimes if I let it do its thing it will go to the login in screen, but most times I have to turn it off and back on till start up. Specs: Mobo: ASRock Fatal1ty Z87 Killer PSU: Corsair CX750 RAM: 16 Gigs of Corsair Vengeance Processor: i7 4770k (not overclocked right now cause I thought that was the problem) GPU: EVGA GTX 970 SSC (upgraded from a 770 last year, never had any start up problems with it) Things I've Done: -Unpluged power and cycled the power a few times by pressing power button a few times for 5 seconds -Took out graphics card and tried booting up -Cleared CMOS manually and restarted I don't know what else to do sadly besides take it to a tech and see if he can tell what is going bad in it so I can just replace what needs to be done from there, but I may just end up building an all new PC soon anyways. I hope it is not my GPU because I would like to switch it over to my new PC once I build it, I have a feeling its the motherboard since it is a cheaper one and had a specific price point for my build at the time. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks guys!
