    Yeah, I haven't looked at the log yet, but the fact that corrupted files were found despite a clean installation of Windows just shows that you can't trust ANY change made to not fuck something up. On the enterprise edition of Windows this isn't a concern. But the average user will use no more than the pro edition at best. Hopefully this fixed the freezing.

    No idea. I find it odd that it doesn't account for power spikes, which certain RTX 30 cards were notorious for. I assumed that was what the 750 watt was coming from, because the 3060TI isn't nearly that power hungry. Barring potential faulty hardware, my PC actually froze once before specifically because of corrupted system files, which you can verify with this command in either powershell or command prompt (opened as admin). sfc /scannow It never happened again after this command found the corrupted files and replaced them with clean ones. I run this command at least once a week, ESPECIALLY after a windows update since there is nothing stopping an update from corrupting files on the standard and pro editions of windows.

    Not sure whats happening with your PC, but ASUS recommends a 750 watt power supply for your specific GPU on their own website. You have a 600 watt power supply.

    I hope not. Because you'd have to replace the motherboard.

    What about the system tab? If its a "critical error" message, there should be a "bugcheck" code somewhere.
  6. BlackManINC
    Does it give you an actual bug check code in the "details" tab?

    Get more ram since we're even talking about page file memory to start with.
  8. BlackManINC
    Well that's unfortunate, because your GPU might have to be RMA'ed. Warranty is two years so you have time.

    I had a similar issue with my 6800xt where the screen would freeze or blackout, yet the sound continues as normal. In my case the GPU was defective and I had to RMA it. It shit itself three months later. The sound continuing on as normal is a definite red flag of the culprit being related to the display adapter, or a bad display cable, or a damaged monitor. If the issue ceases with a spare GPU, you'll have your culprit.

    You could try power cycling your router or something. If reinstalling windows works, then that means either one of two things or both: 1. There was a corruption in the registry or system files. 2. The TCP/UDP IP network software in windows got corrupted. With #2, pinging the loopback address is supposed to be used to test that actually.
  11. BlackManINC
    Well, you certainly don't want the adapter to be the culprit, because that means its probably defective, especially if you already reinstalled the driver. The "access point" might be referring to your router, assuming there is nothing else between it and your PC. Its just your one main router right?

    Is there a yellow caution sign next to your wifi in device manager? No error codes?
  13. BlackManINC
    No, but I mean does the ethernet itself work? Ethernet works but wifi doesn't?
  14. BlackManINC
    Does your PC work with ethernet?

    More experienced? Lets get the game developers in here. They made the application the O.P is having issues with.
  16. BlackManINC
    Its been six hours, so I'll just answer it. If the game developers barely did the most bare minimum optimizing the game, then no, it really isn't, because the application you are running is what matters in the end, which are video games in this case, the worst possible application you could waste many hours of your life tweaking your hardware for. In my experience, the biggest performance boost you MIGHT get is by tweaking your Rams sub-timings in the bios, if you insist on wasting your time. And it took me many, MANY days of stress tests, and cmos resets to get the shit stable, so you should proceed with extra caution.
  17. BlackManINC
    Didn't think it would. Not sure why one would jump to that conclusion anyway. This is a video game application we're talking about. These days, they do the bare minimum to optimize the shit, if they even do that much, as we've seen time and again this year alone, with Hogwarts, The Last of Us, Star Wars, etc. So you can't expect much from it.
  18. BlackManINC
    Well, once it gets to 80% is when you'll start to be concerned, if talking strictly utilization and not its speed and such. More likely, faster ram would help. I'd try faster ram since its the easiest and cheapest component to replace anyway. And get 32gbz instead of 16 if possible. Certain games are very asset intensive, where it might swallow up 16 gbs whole. Few games I play will at least.
  19. BlackManINC
    @LazyPanda Well that CPU isn't exactly "high end". It might be bottlenecking that GPU for all you know. I'd probably get faster ram as well, at least 3600mhz if not 3800mhz. AMD CPU's likes fast ram even more so than Intel ones.
  20. BlackManINC
    Yeah, kind of a correlation here. Your bandwidth throughput is a little better here, which might correlate to the lower latency we see, or a lower ping rate. And it gets better here too. Bandwidth is a bit better here, and the latency is even lower than the previous test. So you might just have a bandwidth issue I guess.
  21. BlackManINC
    I've been trying to make sense of latency versus bandwidth. Both pertain to speed in the end, yet both measures it in different ways. One can get 500 mbps downstream and still have a shitty connection with latency, so its not easy to decipher. In any case, with a simple ping test, in PowerShell, it sends 32 bytes of data with each I.P packet sent to and from the destination, which in megabits is equal to 256 mbps I think, since 1 byte of data equals 8 bits. So your ping, or "latency" in this case is probably so high because you don't have the bandwidth to handle the amount of data each packet is trying to push through. I'm assuming this is wifi, so trying it with ethernet would probably tell you more. How much bandwidth are you paying for exactly from your service provider? I agree with manikyath and others that your issue is probably just bandwidth. Some things might require more than only 5-10mbps being pushed through per packet. Video games and streaming sites like YouTube are shining examples.

    You can check "event viewer", under its "administrative events" tab, as well, and hope it tells you something useful (usually doesn't). Also, try running this in Powershell, see what it says:
  23. BlackManINC
    Have you tried pinging your computers assigned I.P address multiple times? If it keeps dropping packets, or "timing out", then that is a strong indication that the network adapter is defective. Try this here: I'm pinging my own PC 100 times, is what this means.
  24. BlackManINC
    Right, I mean I know the loopback just pings the machines TCP/IP stack software according to various nerds. Has nothing to do with the hardware. So, not even getting an apipa address just indicates that there is a hardware issue. The wifi adapter and/or NIC has either been disabled, or they gave up the ghost. I still wasn't expecting the loopback to respond, but I guess I should have. Got it.
  25. BlackManINC
    So I have another question for you ultra nerds out there. I was fooling around in my Oracle VM. I turned off the pfsense router, and disabled the ethernet in my Windows 10 VM. I pinged the Apipa address, and didn't get a response, as I expected. But when I ping the name of the PC itself, I get a response via the loopback address. I was not expecting that at all. Why is the loopback address responding? How would that help me troubleshoot a connection issue in this instance? With Ethernet on, pfsense still turned off, the Apipa address showed up when pinging the PC name before.
