Needing a PS plus subscription is honestly the only thing that would stop me moving to console, to me it's just such an unnecessary thing
-
Pretty much, also the fact that I'm starting to prefer controller over KB/M, I can plug a console into my TV easier than a PC, I only have to upgrade a console each generation (tho I know I don't need to upgrade my PC parts often either). Also Playstation exclusive games are really damn good and generally seem to be much better than PC exclusives.
-
I used to because I was ignorant to the good parts of consoles, ironic because nowadays I envy PS5 users and wish I went with Playstation rather than PC
-
Just a standard Dualshock 4 that I usually connect via Bluetooth. If a game doesn't natively support it, opening up DS4Windows always solves the issue.

PC Randomly Freezing then restarting?
Phrench replied to HyperionUK's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Not really sure what it could be, my guess is that maybe your PSU might be a bit cooked or maybe a cable is internally damaged or something. Could also maybe be a dodgey PCIE slot or even corrupt driver install. Don't take my word for anything though because it seems like it could be a few things, hopefully someone with more knowledge sees this and knows. -
Ayee thats so great to hear, glad it all works now, hopefully nothing bad happens in the future.

I tested my sticks by trying only one at a time in each slot, using both sticks in slots 1,3 and 2,4, then swapped them around and all that, coming to the conclusion that one of my sticks runs fine and the other causes crashes. Glad to hear it ran, also that's a real shame that your ASUS card won't work. Have you been able to run MW consistently with the new RAM?

About 2 months ago I found out that the reason my game was crashing was because of one of my RAM sticks, still don't know why but after testing my sticks I found one of them would crash most games, after removing the dodgey stick my CoD ran completely fine albeit with significantly worse performance. I also have Corsair Vengeance so I guess that's one thing you could try.

PC goes black screen while playing games or under load.
Phrench replied to Abhraneel Roy's topic in Troubleshooting
Well my best recommendation would be to see if you can find a cheap (verified working) GTX 1050 online or something. I would also say the same for a new Power Supply but you would wanna be more careful with that. -

Phrench replied to Abhraneel Roy's topic in Troubleshooting
Do you have a friend or someone who cn lend you a different PSU or GPU? If you do it would be a good idea to test each component to see what it is. -
Tried all that, it seems that only one stick works properly, using the other stick MW just crashes. Also both sticks are from the same kit.

Ran MemTest86, went for 3 hours 30 minutes and found absolutely no issues whatsoever
-
Also apologies for the possibly misleading title and category, I'm not 100% sure what they should be for this issue

So, for over a year now I've been using a Ryzen 5 1600 paired with an RTX 2060 and two 8gb sticks of Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200MHz, all running off a Corsair TX550M PSU. Though throughout that whole time, games have always crashed, the main ones being Battlefield 1, 5 and Modern Warfare 2019, though more recently BF4 and R6 Siege started crashing aswell. After doing an absurd amount of research, I decided to take out the memory stick in my 4th RAM slot, so now I only have one in the second. After doing this around 2 or 3 days ago, literally nothing has crashed once, plus I can even run games in DirectX 12 now (beforehand they wouldn't even launch). SO my point here is, does anyone possibley know why this worked and what the cause of it is, I'm planning on buying a Ryzen 5 3600 but I don't wanna buy it then realise thatI still can't use my other stick of RAM, especially because with just 8 gigs, games run terrible (E.G BFV struggles to hit a stable 75 FPS on lowest settings even with DX12 on). Anyways any help would be greatly appreciated. BTW, before taking the sticks out I tried running it at every speed with and without XMP, nothing changed.

I use a 1080p 60Hz monitor but I run it at 75Hz.
