Aside from manually setting every game to "GAME(GOXLR)"(or any specific audio output for that matter), is there a way for me to either launch games automatically using a specific output, or mass change which output is used?

While I"m thinking it is the psu, all upgrading my cpu did was make my random crashes a lot more consistent. A name brand 650w psu thats 3 years old should handle a 550w load(slightly less since it's total system draw from the wall)

I can't open my computer at the moment to look at my sticker, but my model on the +12 rail is supposed to be 54A 649W. I do have a second smaller psu I have that I tested with last night. After splitting the load between the 2 psu's(mobo and cpu on 1, gpu and sata drives on the other) I've determined it is most likely the power supply that's bad since I can now launch starfield or run 3d mark benchmarks without crashing

This issue started about 10 months ago after I updated bios on my asus x570 plus. The system would basically shut down while using it with the rgb on mobo and my corsair memory staying on. Going in to event viewer the error code is 41-kernal power. Using a wall meter, it shows 122v and the most I've seen it draw is 550W out of the 650 my evga psu is rated for. After installing a new processor, I can't get past a single benchmark run without a crash. To get it to run some games for more the 3 seconds, I've drop clocks to 3.2GHz, and vcore to 1.3 in bios, which increases stability. Lowering gpu power and clocks helps even more, but not enough to where it's fine. I'm personally thinking it's something with my board, or something in the psu thats just not giving enough power fast enough Components that seem relevant R7-3700x replaced by an r9-5950x Asus tuf x570 plus(non wifi) 2x corsair vengeance pro rgb 32 GB 2x16 EVGA GeForce RTX 3070 FTW3 Ultra Gaming EVGA SuperNOVA 650 Ga, 80 Plus Gold 650W

I have a somewhat stupid question. My isp gave a modem router combo(Bec 8800n) that connect via phone line. My question is can I plug a router I bought from Walmart in to the wan port then be set? Obviously i would need to set up the network. Also if possible would connecting a high end router cause any problems.

I recently acquired in old XP machine from my job that didn't work. I discovered the psu went and in the process nuked the hdd. I was wondering if anyone had the install media for xp. Its only the media I need since on the case is the key. If nothing else if someone knows of an os that a Pentium 4 @2.66 GHz and 1256MB of ram can handle that would be great.

My mom needs a new laptop for when she goes back to work on getting her accounting degree. She will be doing this from home. What is a decent laptop or what are things that are necessary so she has a decent experience.

I had excessive drain yesterday (about 20% in like 90 minutes) so I was killing it. I'm an American that has never been outside the country yet and I don't have a VPN yet. Thanks for informing me since I have college in 30 minutes I was trying to get to bed last night so I didn't have time to look into it

I was listening to music tonight and i noticed an ad on YouTube. I was really confused because I thought my subscription was still good. As seen on the photos my subscription is good and YouTube premium is supposed to be add free. This seems to be false advertising

I just got my first apartment and I need internet for college(and various other things) and I was wondering what is the better solution a modem/router combo or separate modem and router

@Crunchy Dragon what is your opinion of refurbished cards

Cheaper would be nice. Right now I play at 1360x768 low settings and I hit 60fps what I was wanting was best case scenario. I am willing to compromise a little 30fps at the lowest 760p or medium settings

I am wondering what the cheapest graphics card is that can play skyrim at 1080p 60fps and high settings.

Minnesota want to go but as a college student it's hard saving up 2000 for everything

Seemingly dumb question to experienced builders but can I stick ram that says for intel z170 into an h170 board and if so would there be any problems? I know I could look elsewhere online but if there are any problems its best for the pc community to say
