It is this one : Fox Spirit GT-850P V2 80PLUS Platinum Its actually an 850W PSU not 800W

I though it would be written below the post. Anyway CPU : R3600X GPU 370ti / 1070 RAM : 24 Go @ 3000Mhz PSU : 850 W

I used to play VR on headset on my 1070 GPU, which was working fine. Lately i decided to upgrade to a 3070 ti. At first i didn't notice any difference. But after some time, my computer would crash while my GPU was under heavier load. Crash are black screens on both monitor and in the VR headset. I have to turn off and turn on the computer to be able to use it again. This NEVER happened with my 1070, even though i play the same games. I knew something was really wrong when i played Half-life Alyx. On my 3070 ti the game is super laggy (very very low FPS) and crashes after a few minutes (at first). But on my 1070, i have NO issue what so ever. Which is quite surprising considering that a 3070 ti should be more powerful. So i played the start of the game on my 1070. Then i switch to the 3070ti, and amazingly it worked almost perfectly : some weird stuttering on loading screens. But at least it was playable. And i managed to finish the whole game with the 3070ti. Today, i played DCS in vr on my 3070 ti, and it crashed after a few minutes (black screens again). But FPS felt fine. And this is really weird because when i played DCS around a month ago on the 3070 ti, it didn't had any issue (no issue with 1070 either). So i think it may be some kind of driver issue. I tried reinstalling Windows Mixed Reality and Steam VR but it didn't work. I tried to reinstall GPU drivers (GeForce experience) without any results. It is to be noted that when i have a crash the 3070ti is at around 83°C. Also, when not in VR the card performs better than the 1070 (in terms of FPS count), but the black screens still happens but very very rarely. Does anybody know what could be the issue ? Also, i don't know if it is normal but when switch from one GPU to another, Nvidia doesn't tell me that my driver needs to replace. Are the 1070 drivers and 3070 ti drivers compatible ? When i compare the 1070 and 3070ti, no component except the GPU is changed. CPU : R3600X GPU 370ti / 1070 RAM : 24 Go @ 3000Mhz PSU : 850 W

In the i just bought the same PS3 controller that i had. And went with the same set up. And it works like it used to of course

I'm looking for a controller that has bluetooth capabilities. I guess the obvious go to controller is a PS4 controller. But what do you guys have to say ? I want to connect through a wire for my desktop)and via bluetooth to play on my laptop (and maybe my phone if that's possible). I used to borrow a PS3 controller that was very adequate to these taks, i guess could just buy one. Anyway, what do you guys recommend ?

When i start my computer, everything runs as expected until windows finishes booting. At that moment (right when i should see the windows desktop), my graphic card stops outputting HDMI signal, i have to unplug and re-plug the cable and it works like it should. I've updated the Nvidia drivers yesterday but it didn't solve the problem. Do you guys have encounter this problem before?

By the way, is it worth buying a replacement battery now ?

I'd like to know how to extend my battery life span (limit the wear of the battery over time). Any tips or habits that i should be aware of. I have a Lenovo ideapad flex 5, and i'm impressed on how little time the battery takes to recharge. I heard somewhere that charging a battery at a fast rate can be more damaging to it, than charging at a slower rate (take this with a grain of salt of course). Maybe there's a mode that charges my battery faster? What do you guys think? Thanks in advance.

Yeah, i said CAD just in case but that's definetly not a disater if my laptop cannot do CAD. With that said, any recommendations? How about a chromebook? It usually says that chromebooks have like 64Go of SSD capacity, i feel like this is comicly low.

Thanks for the advice

Hello, Budget : under 400 $ So i'm looking for a laptop for school. Writing word documents and excel sheets. I will learn CAD but i think that's out of my price range. Of course i want a battery that can last a day( while using word/excel), and a good boot time (SSD it is). Bonus points if it has a touchscreen. I'm not planing on playing games on it, however i want to use Nvidia Geforce Now to stream games on my laptop. That one kind of caught my eye but i'm concerned that the amount of RAM is low. I have a good desktop computer but i don't want to carry it in my new appartment. Is there a way to stream desktop computer to my laptop? (alternative to Nvidia Geforce Now). Thanks a lot guys.

Hopefully there's a wifi I can borrow. That's where a laptop comes useful.

Hi, I'm going to visit an appartement that I may rent for my studies. I'd like to test the internet connection but I don't know how. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

So what do you to look for (compatibility wise) when adding sticks of RAM? For instance is it possible to add 2 sticks of 8gb when i already have 2 sticks of 4gb?

I feel like my current temps are pretty high especially when idling it's around 40ºC. And while gaming (AC Odyssey) it's around 55ºC . I already made a post about that issue but people told that it was normal for a processor.
