  1. Hi guys, I'm writing this because I've kind of been out of the loop with the PC parts news and what's currently the best performance/value for money e.t.c., since my last upgrade which was in late 2019 to my GPU. I mainly play WoW and League, and streaming abilities are a must. I mainly want to upgrade my CPU & Mobo (as i think my socket is way out of date) as I have noticed a very large slow down and issues playing WoW and other cpu heavy tasks. I don't think the rest of my parts are an issue at the moment but let me know if there is an issue. Budget (including currency): £400~800+ Country: UK Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: WoW League/OBS/Discord stream/Mild machine learning/data analysis/Generic tasks 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): 3x monitors, 1920x1080 27" 144hz x2 60hz x1 CPU: i7-6700k @ 4Ghz Mobo: Asus Z170 Pro GPU: MSI NVIDIA RTX 2070 Super RAM: 32GB @ 2400 MHz (don't remember name/brand, but it was a decent one) PSU: Corsair TX-M 650 80+ Gold Case: H500M Cooler Master I'm just mainly looking for guidance, I have literally no clue on what you should buy at the moment. I'm in a very different place now as I was 3 years ago so I no longer have the time to spend hours researching this stuff so any help would be very appreciated! Thanks!
  2. Yeah, they weren't any help unfortunately. In the event viewer I've got a lot of kernel power (event id 41) records with slightly varying details, such as BugcheckCode 0 BugcheckParameter1 0x0 BugcheckParameter2 0x0 BugcheckParameter3 0x0 BugcheckParameter4 0x0 SleepInProgress 0 PowerButtonTimestamp 0 BootAppStatus 0 Checkpoint 0 ConnectedStandbyInProgress false SystemSleepTransitionsToOn 0 CsEntryScenarioInstanceId 0 BugcheckInfoFromEFI false CheckpointStatus 0 BugcheckCode 0 BugcheckParameter1 0x0 BugcheckParameter2 0x0 BugcheckParameter3 0x0 BugcheckParameter4 0x0 SleepInProgress 6 PowerButtonTimestamp 0 BootAppStatus 0 Checkpoint 16 ConnectedStandbyInProgress false SystemSleepTransitionsToOn 2 CsEntryScenarioInstanceId 0 BugcheckInfoFromEFI false CheckpointStatus 0 Does this mean anything?
  3. Sorry didn't realise about the quotes - it's an EVGA standard 980Ti I believe, unfortunately it just went out of warranty at the start of this year... bad timing just after black friday too if I would need to get something new aswell. It does seem to be more frequent if I play with higher graphics settings which makes me think it's a performance related problem, but temperatures are fine when the crashes happen.
  4. Sadly I don't have a mobo lying around and I would need a full PC to properly try to reproduce as I need to leave it running wow for a few hours, wish I could rule that out completely though.
  5. Hi all, I've been having a problem for a week or so now thats very strange and hard to pin down. When playing world of warcraft, intermittently, my PC will just POST and give me the Asus Anti-Surge message. This is extremely intermittent and hard to reproduce and occurs at well safe temperatures, ~40 for CPU, ~65 for GPU. I monitored these using Afterburner and HWMonitor, etc. It does not occur while playing any other game either, although I only really play League of Legends otherwise. As far as I can tell the voltages are fine, 3.3, 5 and 12 all being within the +0.5 range I've read about online. I also installed a new PSU shortly after this started as I assumed that was the cause but it did not help at all. I have also flashed my BIOS to the latest version and re-installed and rolled back my GPU drivers. Twice in the past week a slightly similar problem occurred when I had no game open and was just browsing with chrome. The screens just went black but the computer was completely fine otherwise, sound/input fine (from chrome back noises) and came back a few seconds later. Very similar to what happens when you are updating your graphics drivers. Currently stumped and thinking my gpu may just be dying? Unsure where to go from here. I wouldn't mind updating my GPU necessarily but don't want to just spend money if something else was the problem. Parts list: CPU : i7-6700k @4GHZ Mobo: Z170-A GPU: 980TI RAM: 32GB PSU: TX650M Thanks for reading
