  1. Hello all, I have been having a problem for the past couple months where, every so often, the output from my mic will be nothing but awful static (kinda sounds like compressed air or something is being blown at my mic). The mic is an Audio Technica AT2020 XLR, hooked up to a Blue Icicle Audio Interface. Initially, I thought it had to do with the cord rubbing up against things or being affected by vibrations from the desk, but even after positioning my mic in such a way that the cord never touches anything but the mic and the rear IO of my computer, the problem still persists. I have tried unplugging and plugging everything back in, and have also tried (albeit briefly) using a different mini-usb cord (one used to charge PS3 controllers, likely low quality) and it didn't seem to help. An example of the noise can be found here (WARNING - LOUD) - that is from the perspective of another person. The mic sounds fine, maybe even good, 90% of the time, but when it does happen I can hear the screams of pain from the people im on the line with. If anyone can help me with this, I'd be deeply thankful, as it will prevent me from having to spend more money for a new mic and have this one be a waste of $200. Edit - The background static throughout the whole video isn't there on my local file, just the one on Youtube. Edit 2 - Replaced video with better version.
  2. I ran Witcher 3 and Unigine Valley at max settings 1080p with no issues, so it does seem to be the game. I'm reinstalling to see if it will fix the problem.
  3. It's not the game crashing it's the whole computer, then problems upon rebooting as well. Thats a crazy messed up game to do that. Also, I know power draw isn't going to be a problem, i just thought maybe my power supply was messed up or something. If i pay 180 dollars for something it better damn well be good, i know that
  4. Well, i guess im an idiot, because I just ran Unigine Valley at max settings 1080p and ran Witcher 3 at max settings 1080p in the most demanding area i could find and had no problems (aside from framerate). Thank you for your help, ill try reinstalling PUBG and see if that helps
  5. thank you for the help, i will try those. The sound is through my headphones, and is just a short beep. After it happens, when i restart my pc it freezes when loading Windows and just shows a white bar on the screen. I was thinking that maybe the PSU was fucking up the cables, since that was what fixed it before. Anyway, ill get back to you after benchmarks and stress testing and stuff.
  6. Grey text aside, i would still like help with this problem, as i don't really want to drop X money on a new psu
  7. Oh, well im not sure how to change that. Wasnt on purpose
  8. I don't have another PSU powerful enough, and can't afford another one. Also, what do you mean by grey text?
  9. Hello all. I have recently been playing a lot of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, and I have never had any problems with performance (high settings, 60FPS most of the time), and I'm still actually getting the same performance, the problem isn't that. The problem is that when I join a game, and am about to jump from the plane, my computer will make an odd noise, then all video output stops. I am using a GTX 970 from MSI (the Twin Frozr Gaming card) and an i5 4430. I have 8GB of RAM as well, and the game is installed on my SDD. The problem is power draw, so I have an 850W G2 from EVGA (80+ Gold). This has happened twice in a row now, and I haven't tried any other games. If you would like me to run another game or a benchmarking tool to see if it is actually a load problem, i would happily do so. Thank you for your time, GymothyCharles P.S. I might add that I am using Windows 10, 64 Bit, and haven't changed anything since it was working. Also, I just tried updating my drivers, and that did not seem to help. No overclocks either. I had this problem a month or two ago with the same game and switching out the PCI cable fixed it, but i don't have any more 8 + 6 pin cables, and the 8 pin didnt work. Temps when the problem occurs here - For the last two pictures, as and after it happened, I couldn't see anything on my monitors, and just captured a window.
  10. Someone on reddit said it could be a problem with the PSU, but made no mention of how to prove that that is the problem, can anyone help with that?
  11. http://imgur.com/a/vJHaD this is the temperatures from before, when, and after it happened. I also recorded a video of these windows, but it corrupted.
  12. no overclocks, gonna go try again and monitor temps, be back with results. not sure what you mean by the windows update thing

  14. Well, I guess that answers the M50x question XD.
