    freezes

    Hey guys! I built a computer for my son about a year ago and recently it's been freezing a lot no error, no way to go back to Windows, keyboard seems to lock up (caps, etc..) as well. specs: Ryzen 5 5600 silicon power 32gb ddr4 3200 Gigabyte B550M Aorus elite am4 MSI MAG A650BM 650W Mushkin m.2 1tb PCIe gen3 DIYPC MA08-BK Black USB 3.0 Micro-ATX Mini Tower (huge mistake, terrible airflow) and RX 590 8G (this is the only part I bought second-hand, used) the freezes are fairly random, but I know for a fact when trying to play Fortnite, a bit after starting a session (dropping off the bus) it freezes. but my son mostly plays Roblox/Minecraft, seems like it happens in Roblox now, but not so much in Minecraft, and Im fear it's the graphics card, which is not a huge deal (rx590 is what? $60 now?) but can't really test it since I don't have any other graphics card.. is there any error log somewhere I can access to see what could have been the cause?
  2. Yeah, I already installed the drivers, no change. tried reinstalling, and restarting a couple of times, and no it doesn't seem to charge over USB. (my laptop is capable of charging over the USB C port but its main charging port is the old barrel sharing port, thought it worth mentioning it)
  3. Hi! Help me figure this out, please... so I had this HP laptop for about 3 years ago: HP ENVY x360 Laptop - 15m-ee0023dx, I wanted to add an ethernet connection.. so I found on FB marketplace this dock J5 create Model: JCD543. but no matter what I do, I just can't get it to be recognized by the computer... no USB keyboard/mouse nothing... I see some threads over hp no supporting docking stations or something but my laptop c-port specs are: 1 USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C™ (10 Gb/s signaling rate, Power Delivery 3.0, HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort™ 1.4, HP Sleep and Charge); also, I already got a USB hub with only USB A ports (I belive 3.0) and it works just fine... at this point... I would rather take the lose and try and resell the dock and buy something else rather than being forced to buy a new laptop... any thoughts? TIA
  4. Well I just connected it to the flat screen (pretty old one, might not even be 4k) And it looks far better and the game is playable. So I guess false alarm, the problem is the CRT, at least for anything newer then Sega Genesis.. At least I got it for free.
  5. So I got a CRT and I hooked up all my retro consoles to it (Sega Genesis, Hyperkin retron 1 hd, Wii, PS2, Atari 2600, Sega dreamcast and Nintendo 64) To my surprise the Nintendo 64 had worse graphics, the picture, especially in game, not as terrible in menus, is so bad it's unplayable, it's hard to explain, and it might be hard to show it in a picture but it's just way too blurry, everything looks like a undefined mash of colors on the screen, I haven't tried all my Nintendo 64 games but in both majora's mask and ocarina of time, it looks terrible. i remember connecting the Nintendo 64 before, to a newer flat screen, that the rest of the HDMI capable consoles plugged to, and it didn't look bad at all and was very much playable.. Any thoughts? TIA
  6. I am only looking for one pair for her. Maybe my title is wrong. I am now confused about what they are called but I'm actually looking for video display galsses nreal air or rokid AR, seems like they are typically $400-500
  7. It is not... But glasses would be easier for longer periods of time since we sit 6-7 hours and might be tiring holding a tablet.. which I know there are solutions for that as well but wires and tubes.. and nurses around her so seems like glasses with one single cord would be best solution.
  8. Hi everyone So cancer has gotten to us. What I need is glasses that will allow my wife to watch while doing chemo. Preferably lite weight but screen quality is top priority. She will mostly going to be watching movies and TV shows. It won't be used for gaming so no need for crazy refresh rate or any AR functionality. $300-400 range maybe? Thanks!!
  9. yea the build does have GPU but he quoted me $400 without the GPU, anyway, i ended up ordering everything off NewEgg, added some warrenty on some of the stuff, ended up paying $512.
  10. i can pick this up locally (used, no GPU) for $400, is it worth it? *Also on the build, is it possible to find a case with no glass panel? i can already see the glass being all over the floor from being kicked*
  11. Yea, but i already got an RX 590, i mean if i find a prebuilt with the specs recommended above (Ryzen 5/7 3600 and up) with a graphics card for that price, sure i'll take it, and sell the RX 590, but i've been looking around trying to figure this out for the past probably two months and i wont be able to get anything remotely close to that, best i could find for like $250-300 was like an i7 7700k with a gtx 1060, not even close in performance.
  12. Budget (including currency): 450 Country: NC, USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Minecraft bedrock/Roblox, school learning. Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Already got, RX 590 8G.
  13. What about: https://www.ebay.com/itm/166260367991?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=_G10T0pqTga&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=QeAukkkjQJK&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
  14. Sorry to bump an old thread but, now i sold the old computer, and all in on buying new parts, so now i need everything but a Graphics card. The only part i absolutely know nothing about and cannot decide on is the motherboard. keeping in mind, its a simple minecraft/roblox build, it would probably only have one m.2 or one SSD, so nothing special, it would probably not be overclocked, i will be using the rx 590, i will be using the cooler that comes with the CPU... what would be a decent build?
