So Apex has been running perfectly fine for the past 3 months. There will of course be the occasicanal stutter but this is consistent.

I have started stuttering every 10-20 seconds or so as you can see in this Framtime graph. The game wasnt doing this before and its very frustrating

I have tried a all of the usual steps

Hardware Troubleshooting
1. Tried Windows 11 on new SSD
2. Reseated GPU, RAM, SSD
3. Changed ports of KB, mouse, changed KB

Software:

1. Resintalled the game
2. Tried with Geforce on and off
3. Tried numerous drivers, odler ones too
4. Dtried differetrn power settings and game settings (allo game is on low)
5. Changed framerate limit

My GPU hits around max 95% very occasionaly and CPU never maxes in graphs, no other signs of anything strange

I cap at 205 using steams ihnn game limited (will not use RT as adds frame of latency). The graph used to be clean

The only thing that was changed was a windows security path, but i very much doubt it was that and windows 11 does the same.

Help!

Magician should work as long as you have at least one Samsung drive in your PC.

 

Do you have an open PCIe slot? An M.2 riser would work.

So the drive currently installed is samsung, its going to a WD. Would that work alright? 

Are there any downsides to cloning as opposed to reinstalling

If you have a 'name brand' SSD, the manufacturer may give away a cloning tool that lets you migrate your existing drive to the new one.

Ah thanks yes it is Samsung, the problem I have is that I only have 2 M2 slots, which are filled. I'll have a look though on magician. The new drive is WD

I'm looking to move my windows install onto a bigger and better SSD. 

Is there a pitch perfect method of doing this. Want to keep files too.

Thankyou!

If clean install of drivers or windows doesnt fix it, then I would definitely be suspect of the VRAMs on the card and at that point I can only recommend RMAing the card.

I think a clean DDU will do it. I stress tested all the Vrams in OCCT and I use a lot of 3D software and it never happens there

If you feel it's driver related, run ddu to remove all traces of the current driver and reinstall the latest from nvidia's website.

Yeah Ill definitely run a ddu, it happens at completely random times in the day. Been on the PC for many hours and nothing and then all of a sudden under normal temps load it starts 

Whats even MORE weird is that if I record, it happens on the whole screen but only in windows Photo Viewer not in VLC That isn't what was happening when I recorded and it isn't zoomed. My recording is black here

What card is this? AMD in particular can have issues like this where it can be due to drivers.

Its a 3080 Gigabyte OC

Like I said seems like a driver issues the card performs normally and doesn't do it under heavy load so I can only assume its not hardware related

The GPU is dying.

The GPU is fine, in games, benchmarking applications and 3D rendering software, so I dont see how it is

Having a problem where my screen starts atrirfacting on many different open apps, but only as Im moving my cursor around. For example its not happening right now as Im typing

Happening right now at 55c GPU (65c hotspot) (mem 64c) load 17%

It seems like some sort of windows bug to me.

I also stress tested the VRAM on OCCT with no problems detected

It depends on how the cord is damaged and which conductors (if any) bridge together.

 

If +5v shorts to ground, the USB controller could switch that port off due to the sudden current draw.

 

If the data pins get shorted together, the computer won't know what to make of the garbage coming down the line and assume the device was disconnected.

 

If power ground gets broken, the mouse will act like it was unplugged momentarily.

 

I'd stop using that mouse and replace it.

Thanks yeah it's being replaced as soon as possible.

Wouldn't the B550, being a relatively new motherboard have switch break protection for each usb port?

What sort of damage could anything mentioned cause to motherboard and/or components. 

Mouse recently started disconnecting, likely paracord

What possible problems could this cause for a mobo, or usb ports? B550-f

Most answers online are contradictory, no the voltage couldn't run back or yes you can short your motherboard.

Anyone have a definitive answer for this one, if there is any?

So this has happened before but recently, I will come back to my PC and applications such as discord and other things have graphical artifacting that "looks" like when a gpu is broken.

I screenshotted it before but lost it, you know the look I mean, pixel everywhere lots of colours etc.

It goes away on a restart and it doesn't occur in the actual windows itself

What are these the signs of a a broken gpu? Relatively new 3080

Edit: I found a thread with the exact issue, looks the same, they say its broken but I doubt it because it doesn't happen under intense load or temperatures https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/gpu-artifacting-randomly.3758224/

Anyone know what could be causing this?

My Samsung g7 started to make a coil whine noise when on faintly and when the monitor is in standby (blinking led screen off) it whines everytime the light blinks! Removing the DP from my PC stops it

This didn't happen before to the best of my knowledge.

I ordered a new G7 and the issue is the same on the new screen

It isn't a power issue as they are both plugged into a pure sine wave UPS, I also tried a different socket elsewhere for the monitor

? Weird!

My Samsung G7 has started to turn off a lot and some bizarre coil whine like sounds (sounds electrical)

It's plugged into a 3080 via display port.

Any problems with bad power etc being transferred to my pc?

Should I just unplug it and wait for an RMA

No, not a hardware failure. Look up "memory corruption" 

Is there anything needed to fix that at all? Or would the restart suffice

Yeah I would have thought as its working fine now, just feels like I've got input lag now annoyingly

Just now, Mel0nMan said:

Ah...

Interesting. VRAM or system memory corruption perhaps. How long has the PC been on, do you run it 24/7? 

Yeah its on 24/7 do you mean a hardware failure?

Any chance that's an AMD GPU? I've seen that happen with their drivers. If a restart fixed it it's 99% of the time not a hardware failure

3080, its werid Ive never seen that in 3000 hours of apex, just worried about the gpu, since my mosue doesn't feel responsive now

Play apex all the time and this has never happened. I notice my mouse feels sluggish too

The in game models and actual game weren't bugged after a restart, what could be causing this?

Not sure of the ins and outs of the power bricks or whether a damage done can (no pun) brick your laptop

Omen 15 2022 3070

Dropper the power brick from waist height it landed on not such a nice surface (metal)

Charges and no wiggle on Laptop produced cut-outs.

Is there anything I should test here?

Woke up today on Elden ring, noticed my system fans are way louder and making a whirring noise. Its not too loud, but definitely a lot more.

It wasn't doing this before, like a fan curve has randomly changed overnight or something

What gives?

3080

Never had anything like this happen, random the d and s key were not registering inputs for a few seconds, now it's fine. Other keys were perfect

What could have happened here?

So my PC was working gloriously, until I went to change ReSizable bar in the BIOS, ended up reverting to defaults and from all I can tell I changed it to exactly the same state it was before (back again)

I play Apex at capped 190 fps and I am very sensitive to coil whine, from PSU or GPU

Now my PSU under that load is making a buzzing that didn't happen before and I have no idea why!?
