  1. I just completely wiped it with secure erase feature of my motherboard. Going to reinitialize it and install some games, see how it goes.
  2. here is the drive. Dont need to boot in safe mode as it always shows up again onces the issues subside. This happens just by waiting for a while after the problem starts. Has happened numerous times now.
  3. Every time this happens crystal disk does not show the drive. But after all programs using the disk are closed and sitting idle for a while, everything starts working fine again and crystal disk also shows the drive.
  4. For 2 weeks now, from time to time when playing games, half the programs on the pc become unresponsive, while the other half keeps working fine. Just now, I played path of exile and while playing, the game became unresponsive. It had trouble closing, but task manager also became extremely slow so it took a long time to close. Trying to restart the game, steam started freezing up while trying to launch the game. I also clicked on apex legends while steam wasnt responding. It kept saying launching for minutes, and then steam just closed or crashed. CrystalDisk also took a long time to start, and is not showing the drive that I suspect is failing. It's a 2tb kingstong nvme ssd of less than a year old. both PoE and Apex are installed on there. I only seem to have these problems when I play games from that disk for a while. What it looks like to me is every program that uses that drive becomes slow, like crystal disk and task manager check the drive, and the games are installed there. Meanwhile, my browser works just fine, and discord as well. These are installed on the c drive. I have made multiple posts about this before and I didnt really get a useful answer where people were suspecting other hardware for some reason. If you guys still think it's because of my gpu or something, do let me know. If you agree with me and suspect the SSD is the problem here, let me know. It hurts in the wallet but it looks like I will have to replace the ssd.
  5. Well, I feel stupid. It turns out my gpu was at base settings. It must have reverted to it at some point, I still have screenshots from the heavenbenchmarks I did testing the undervolt 2 years ago. At least this does mean that my undervolt didnt become unstable because it just didnt exist... At this point I put my money on the SSD being at fault. I dont know why it would slow down the rest of my computer but I guess there are some weird interactions I dont know about. If the problem persists I will be forced to replace the ssd... painful. Waste of money.
  6. Oh did you edit this comment later? I didn't see the pathetic part of your response the first time around. If you get this easily triggered I suggest taking meds.
  7. But why would my gpu settings suddenly be unstable? It has worked for 2 years perfectly. My own suspicion was that one of my drives were failing. The kingston drive could be the one because thusfar it only happened when a game installed on there was active. But why do other programs like task manager stop working properly as well then? that's not installed on the kingston obviously. Also, Crystaldisk is reporting no errors, though it failed to show the kingston drive once during the first time I used crystal disk during such an ''event''.
  8. Yeah well I don't really know what other info could be useful at all. Here is a screenshot of the victory screen in apex legends. Obviously it is not supposed to look like that, the word victory is in the wrong place, extremely low res, and everything else is just blue. But I still have 144fps as can be seen top left corner. As I said when this starts happening many other programs on my pc become unresponsive as well. My specs: rtx 3070 5800x3D main drive is 960 evo SSD from 2017 Almost all games are installed on a kingston nvme ssd of less than a year old. 16gb ram 3200mhz 750w psu gpu is undervolted with tiny overclock. Has been running great for about 2 years now (was second hand) almost all components are less than 2 years old, with exception of main drive. drivers are up to date. As I said I dont get a blue screen with an error code I can share or anything like that. The computer just basically starts malfunctioning and I am having a very hard time figuring out the cause.
  9. Recently, maybe since a few weeks, I have recurring problems with my computer. It always seems to involve video games. when the problem happens, textures stop loading properly (distorted/low res/invisible), audio glitches or goes missing. And my entire computer seems to slow down substantially, but strangely not everything. Task manager becomes super slow and can barely be used to close the game, but discord at that moment still seems to work fine although it stops loading all images including profile pictures. I can also still use the web browser but closing tabs makes the browser unresponsive. After a while of hard thinking my computer will finally manage to close the game down and the issues quickly subside afterwards. Strangely it does not happen all the time. For instance I tried out FC24 today and also played PoE which is insane with all the particle effects and objects it constantly loads in, and nothing crashed or had issues. Few hours later I play Apex and the problems I mentioned earlier started happening. I've had these issues happen with many games now though so it's not specific to one game. It has to be a driver or hardware problem would be my guess but there are no error reports or anything like that, the computer just starts struggling and that's the only indication something is wrong. What could this be guys? A dying gpu? Maybe a faulty SSD? Or something else entirely, a virus perhaps? Please help!
  10. Can you explain the windows media usb stick? Where do I buy it? Do I need to pay money at all? After all I already own windows 10 so I shouldnt need to buy again right?
  11. How do I back up? I know I can put stuff on a usb or something but, how do I back up all of windows? BIOS is latest. Can you explain why resetting CMOS could help? I rather not tear my pc apart until I know I need to do it, got clumsy hands.
  12. I'm typing this on my pc which may or may not be dying, I do not know. I am encountering an issue that makes my whole computer freeze up, as if it needs a long time to think about every action that I perform like opening or even closing a program, playing a game, or anything else. Right now it's stable for a moment so I am writing this. I downloaded crystal disk and it says that my main 7 year old SSD is good but its only 61%. It does not seem to be detecting my other 2tb SSD though, for some reason. All issues start with opening a program, games in this case, from that drive. My computer became unresponsive in the following moments: -first time was yesterday when installing the league of legends client. The client became unresponsive, tried task manager to close program, it didnt work or glitched out, had to force reboot. -Today, I tried to install Torchlight infinite on the same drive and it became unresponsive, followed by my whole pc becoming unresponsive requiring another reboot. -Then I played league of legends, which worked but in the second game I played the game started hanging for 10+ seconds straight, audio lagging far behind etc. I couldnt alt tab anymore and needed to force reboot again. -Then, after rebooting the pc was still unresponive and would not shut down or restart normally so another force reboot. -Then, I played the game out after it finally started but again with extreme lag and freezing. Right now, after the game, the client is still going through the process of closing the game and showing end of game stats, I can hear the sounds being played as if it's doing each step every 2 minutes or so where normally it happens instantly. This is what happened so far. Please help! Is this a faulty second drive? Is it my main drive? I dont know what to do. I cant lose my data! Edit: Why does crystal disk not detect or at least show my second SSD?
  13. My computer is completely lagging out. Just playing a simple game league of legends, the game starts hanging for 10+ seconds, cant stop the game, whole computer freezes. I restart, instantly freezes again. Is my drive dying or something? I had the same ssd since 2017 so could be. Anyway I can last minute save whats on this drive? PLEASE HELP QUICK!
  14. Never have issues with my pc. Recently I was installing the launcher for a game, when the program froze. Can happen, sometimes. I opened task manager to close the program, but task manager didnt load properly and started hanging as well. Then my browser suffered the same fate and slowly but surely I couldnt do anything anymore so I force rebooted. This happened yesterday. Today, same thing happened trying to install a different game. Again first the launcher stops responding, opening task manager was very slow and unresponsive, and then everything else as well. Tried restarting the pc via start menu but it just forever restarted, so had to force reboot again. Any idea what is causing this?
