Hi guys, today I helped my friend upgrade his HP pre built and now there are some black screen issues. Background: The pc is an HP Pavilion Power Desktop - 580-023w which has an i5-7400, 2 x 4 gb ddr4, gtx 1060, 1TB hdd, 300 watt psu, and whatever craptastic hp motherboard. We upgraded the psu to a Corsair CX650M, the RAM to Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8gb ddr4, the graphics card to my old Powercolor Hellhound rx 6600xt, and we added in a WD Blue sa510 1tb sata ssd. The PC booted into windows just fine with the new parts and the old graphics drivers were removed and the new ones installed. The Problem: During gaming the PC will temporarily black screen (sound stays playing) for a few seconds and the time in between the black screens seems to decrease the longer the game is played. There doesn’t seem to be any warnings or errors in event viewer related to the problem. What We’ve Tried: We’ve tried using both the most recent amd graphics drivers and drivers from December and the problem persists. I thought this would fix it since I’ve had driver issues with the card before but it doesn’t seem like that’s the issue. I plan on doing a fresh install of windows, updating the bios (the newest bios on HP’s website is from June 2018), and installing even older drivers to see if that fixes it. If anyone has any other suggestions for troubleshooting steps that would be greatly appreciated.

Budget (including currency): 1000 USD Country: United States Hey all, I'm working to help my friend build his first PC. He's planning to use it mostly for gaming. He isn't the most tech savvy, so I'm trying to go with more "reliable" parts. This is the current parts list I put together: PCPartPicker Part List: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xh9rqm CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor ($189.00 @ Amazon) Motherboard: MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX ATX AM4 Motherboard ($104.99 @ Amazon) Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory ($54.99 @ Newegg) Storage: Samsung 970 Evo Plus 500 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive ($59.99 @ B&H) Storage: Seagate Barracuda Compute 2 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($49.99 @ Amazon) Video Card: MSI GeForce RTX 3060 12 GB VENTUS 3X OC Video Card ($379.99 @ Newegg) Case: NZXT H510 Flow ATX Mid Tower Case ($89.99 @ Best Buy) Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA GA 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply ($59.99 @ Amazon) Total: $988.93 Any help picking out some better/more cost-effective components would be greatly appreciated.

From the looks of it the SN550 seems to have slightly better performance than the other two, so I guess I'll go with that.
-
Yeah thats what I was thinking, I was just wondering if there were any better deals to be had.
-
It doesn't really matter to me, whichever one will get me better performance for what I'd be using it for. Looking online, I saw that either the crucial p1 or intel 665p might be good options.

Hi everyone I'm looking for help picking an upgrade for my system. I'm currently using the Samsung 860 EVO 500gb. I'm looking for the best 1tb ssd I can get for around $100. It would be used as my main os drive, for games, and other programs. Thank you!
-
Unfortunately reinstalling the drivers didn't help. It happened again with the same exact errors in event viewer. Is there anything else you would recommend trying before RMA'ing?
-
It seems like the general consensus is to sell the current board and processor and go for a 3300x. So I think we'll go with that. Thank you everyone for your help.

He built the system a couple months so it's definitely ddr4.

My friend is in need of a cpu upgrade and I was hoping for some recommendations. He's currently got some pnetium processor with a gigabyte aorus h370 motherboard. He's got a $200 budget. At first I was thinking something like the i5-9400f, but with the new A520 motherboards coming out I think we could probably squeeze in one of those with a 3300x. What would be the best upgrade? (He's got an rx 570 atm so I don't think there will be a bottleneck)

Hi everyone I've had this problem for awhile and I was hoping I could get some help with solving it. Here's what's happening: So if I do happen to be gaming when it happens both of my screens go black for a second, my game closes, and then the windows I have open on my second display kind of disappear leaving the outlines of the windows. Then everything goes back to normal. Then after some random amount of time like 10 seconds-2 minutes, my PC will crash. Sometimes I get a BSOD that gives the message "Video_TDR_FAILURE (atikmpag.sys), other times my primary display goes black and my secondary display goes green, and other times it just restarts. I feel like this is some sort of graphics issue based on what is happening. My system specs are: AMD Ryzen 3600 G.Skill Ripjaws V 2*8gb @3200mhz MSI b450 Tomohawk MAX (Latest Bios and chipset drivers, problem was happening before updates) Powercolor Red Devil 5700 xt (Driver version 20.7.2, problem has happened on every driver version I've tried) Samsung 860 EVO Seagate Barracuda Corsair RM650x Windows 10 1909 I've looked through event viewer and found errors like: A problem has occurred with one or more user-mode drivers and the hosting process has been terminated. This may temporarily interrupt your ability to access the devices. The device HID-compliant headset (location (unknown)) is offline due to a user-mode driver crash. Windows will attempt to restart the device 5 more times. Please contact the device manufacturer for more information about this problem. A timeout was reached (45000 milliseconds) while waiting for the AMD External Events Utility service to connect. The AMD External Events Utility service failed to start due to the following error: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

I remounted it and tightened the cage. No sound as of booting back up, so I guess this is solved. Thanks!
