Hi All, I have a 2 month old, Ryzen 2600 & RTX 2070 PC. It’s been working just fine until I moved to college. I set it up in my dorm, and my games kept crashing so I got rid of my overclock that has been working fine before, but it still was crashing, all the drivers were updated and everything. I thought maybe updating my bios would help it, so I did that and my computer would work just fine for a few minutes then the screen would go black for a minute then come back on and it kept doing that. I tried to uninstall the old driver and reinstall then but it just keeps getting worse, I tried to completely reinstall windows but now my screen just goes black and stays black while everything is still on. I made sure everything is plugged in but I don’t know what is going on and why it keeps happening. Everything works fine in the BIOS it’s just when I boot into windows it starts going black. Any help is appreciated, I just want my computer back. Thanks

I’m looking to build a new computer and I really wanna take advantage of the deals going on right now and I don’t wanna wait until July for Ryzen 3000. I was curious if anyone thinks buying a 2600 as a filler and then either finding a way to return it or sell it in the used market is a viable option to upgrade to Zen 2. Another option is to just hold on to it until Christmas and then upgrade then. Thoughts?

I’ve heard and seen some different things. I am just curious if anyone has any insight on the visual drawbacks of gaming on a 1440p display at 1080 resolution? Some people say blurriness and some say there are black borders I am just wondering if anyone has tried it or seen it done and if it is a viable option for certain situations.

I am debating on whether buying an intel system or a ryzen one. I am looking to spend around $1200-$1300 USD. I live in the US and am contemplating on whether building a Ryzen 2600 with a RTX 2070 or add more cpu power and go with an Intel i5 8600k and settle for an RTX 2060. Both would have 16gb 3200 speed ram, 650 W power supply, 1tb m.2 ssd. Also not sure what mobo to put in the intel one and would probably opt for a b450 rather than a x470 in the AMD one. I plan on gaming extensively, and while being a computer major in college I would like to do my programming and virtual machine security homework on there as well. Most benchmarks say a 2070 is only 5-10% better than a 2060 but with 1440p and the two extra gigs of VRAM I wonder what is more viable in the relative future or if it doesn’t matter as much. I am looking at an LG 32” 1440p monitor to run with this build. Just looking for some outside source opinions, thank you.
