  1. Ensure your CPU cooler is installed correctly. If not you may get unusual performance. Remove your gpu and use your onboard video output ( from the motherboard) and see if passes post and computer boots. If so computer ok. Uninstall gpu driver and reinstall it. Turn off and properly installed gpu. Reboot. What happens?
  2. It may have something to do with power saving setting in the pc/laptop. I had this issue with an Acer Aspire. After a period of gone, the pc vid output of the laptop would inhibit after a power savings event and the TV would go to black. Either a power cycle or movement of the laptop cover would restore the vid signal to TV. Function/F5 should give you the screen modes.
  3. +1 Unimportant said Appears you're using video circuits, the amplifers/step up transformers that engage the CRT's high voltage deflectors, as a audio amp and yet its dangerous. This might lead you on a better path http://www.circuitbasics.com/build-a-great-sounding-audio-amplifier-with-bass-boost-from-the-lm386/ and safety stuff nice to know https://www.ccohs.ca/oshanswers/safety_haz/electrical.html
  4. Try installing the free apps Core Temp or GPU Temp and verify the temperatures in games. You may find your CPU or GPU overheating. Check that your CPU has sufficient thermal paste and the heatsink is correctly seated. An app called OCCT will measure the power supply voltages using the motherboard monitoring. I had crashes playing Planetside 2 and Windows event Viewer routinely showed GPU related errors. i installed GPU Temp, Core Temp, and OCCT to find that my CPU cores went over 80 deg C in games. Found out my CPU heatsink had shifted out of place. Re-gooped the CPU and re-installed the heatsink and good to go. These free apps might help. https://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/ http://www.gputemp.com/ http://www.ocbase.com/
  5. Your computer appears to be robust enough to handle games and you'll need to figure out whether the effect is input or network related. The jittery usually indicates the computer is doing something or another process in the background and puts the game processing on hold momentarily. In the Command window using ping and tracert you can see if connection issues prevail or get sudden spikes in net latency (LAN or WAN). Or your computer might be doing something like HDD/SDD drive optimization or read/writes, Windows app (Defender), Win upgrade, anti-virus scan, adware, etc. Likely a uselses link but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Input_lag. Not sure if you've removed your HDD. The SDD is lower in capacity and may affected/lowered Windows cache/virtual memory cuasing more read/writes. Just speculating.
  6. Unless you put your system in a clean room, conditioned environment, or crafted box with filtered airflow, you're SOL. Air flow, relative humidity and electrostatic fields around fans and electronics will attract dust. Seems your in a dusty spot.
  7. The GPU cooling fan should generally do the trick unless its old and beginning to seize. A new card wouldn't normally suffer from this. If you had the heatsink off, make sure you put it back on right. The heaksink paste should still be gooey. If the air in your case is hot and isn't being moved out, the GPU even if the fan is spinning can't cool effectively.
  8. If google stops, does any other app or game have connection problems? When it happen in a command prompt window, ping your router gateway IP, and your IP address, and then "tracert ww.google.ca" as an example and see if you have high latency/packet loss when you expect your shouldn't. Check your routers DNS making sure it wasn't deleted.
  9. +1 on the power supply. A 500W may be too limited. 750W might be better for stability. https://www.techspot.com/review/1614-ryzen-2600/page4.html
  10. Your GPU is stuck in a case with the CPU, motherboard, power supply, and perhaps ineffective airflow is an issue. If its getting hot, try opening the side cover and seeing it it affects the temp. A freeware app like GPUTEMP will log the temp over time. If you have a cat, check the GPU cooling fan blades and heatsink for dust clogging.
  11. Sounds like your computer is doing something else in the background while the game is playing. Try disabling anti-virus or windows apps while you're gaming.
  12. The battlefield franchise has always been a speculative military scenario morphed twitch shooter. The single player story line game appeared to drive the content and set-up in the multiplayer maps. Many military-esk shooters throughout the years allowed player to select male/female custom load-outs like Joint Ops, Unreal Tournament and Planetside 2 to name a few without any social comment. In Quake we'd set the colors of the players tunic and pants to reflect the colors of the squad to help keep track of who was on what team. Recently, media has released Star Trek, Star Wars, Wolfenstein 2 Colossus, and BF V as examples implicating a social commentary to name a few touching off mainstream players and fans. If media presents a viewpoint, they shouldn't be alarmist on the feedback either. The pace of social discussion is slower than the social acceptance. DICE is Swedish and may insert euro viewpoints and I get that. Anyhoo, having played the BF V beta and the BF series, the two maps don't seem to be much different than previous titles. They could have uploaded a DLC for BF3 or 4 and would be nice. Those games looked good too. I don't look at so much at the characters or attributes, just what is shooting at me and feeble attempts at return fire. Little hard to pick out the differences in uniforms at any distance. The game seems to keeps squads closer together more, or I feel I stay with the squad better than I did in previous games. Haven't really seen anything BF V brings to the table other than a different scenario setting but its still a beta and enjoyable. Love to see community admin'ed servers back.
