Hello there! I have the BlackWidow V3 keyboard, for around a year. few months ago it started to have this weird problem of which i didnt find a solution online. Some keys sometimes double print, sometime not reacting but the WEIRD thing is that its changing between the keys! randomly! it could be one key then 10 seconds later be another one Now, I cleaned the keyboard (removed the caps and removed dust and whatever) but the problem is the same. anyone has any idea how to solve this? thanks, me

so quick question... i got curious as any newbie programmer would. So im here, making a "simple" program for generating attendance sheet from the records off of an attendance machine (its just my own dummy data). So here i am just programming away then i got to thinking, I see an RJ45 port on this attendance machine... and i see a network/server options in the menu... how could one get raw data from this machine. im just curious what kind of protocol or something to emulate a request for this machine to spew out the records... i tried searching about this machine and similar types but google is being a little B-word... anyone know a thing or two about how these kinds of machine work?

Recently upgraded my pc and gave the old parts to my little brother. We then built a PC using said parts and a couple of new ones as well. These random black screens were a problem for me before as well, however with this new build, the problem seems to have become a lot more frequent. You can hear the click of the PSU powering off and back on whenever this happens. You can also force the issue by banging on the desk with relatively minor force. The old parts that were carried over were: Mobo: ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-H CPU: i5-9600k CPU Cooler: Cryorig R1 Ultimate WiFi Card: Intel AX200 That's it. New parts include: PSU: Fractal Ion Gold 750w GPU: ASUS TUF 4060Ti 8GB RAM: G.Skill Trident Z Neo 2x16GB 3600MHz (One of my old RAM sticks died) Running Windows 10 Pro The issue occurs at stock clocks and without XMP enabled. The PC can be under load or at idle. The system has used three different PSUs (Old 600W GTR from my first build, an EVGA G3 750W and now the Fractal), three different GPUs (2080, 3080, 4060ti), and is now using new RAM (Old was Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8GB 3600MHz). Throughout all these changes the issue has always persisted. Multiple fresh windows installs. Drivers are up to date. I updated the BIOS to the latest version available from the ASUS website just last week. The CPU has been repasted and also reseated multiple times. There are no events in event viewer, except that the pc lost power unexpectedly. So at this point I'm at a bit of a loss. All I can think of is a hardware issue with either the CPU or Motherboard, but maybe someone else has some ideas.

Hi All, I have this weird problem that I think need a little bit more technical knowledge of hardware than what I possess. I was hoping to find some ideas to troubleshoot this, and reddit ain't useful these days, particularly with identifiable information. Anyway, here are the details that I have so far. System Info: Attached below. Asus laptop with all AMD. All updates for drivers and windows installed. Symptom: Laptop shuts down like power was disconnected. No blue screen, no errors, just straight shut down like it was initiated by BIOS or power is lost. Video: Occurrence: Happens frequently when playing games, but only in some games. E.g. F1 2022, it happens during loading screen after benchmark or race. In FM, it happens after match end. In Resident Evil 4 remake, it happens when player dies. In other games, there is no issue. E.g. Rocket league, overcooked 2, cities skylines had zero crashes. This happens on both battery and plugged in mode. This started few months ago, but I can't seem to find a solution thus far. Event Log: Seems to only log one error when I turn it back on saying "last shutdown was unexpected". No warning before the shutdown that stood out. Attaching the event log in case I missed something. Troubleshooting steps taken: 1) Verified all updates, all drivers etc. 2) Verified all OS files 3) Ran benchmarks for 2 hours (100% cpu and gpu utilization) 4) Ran overheating and PSU tests for 1 hour each Current Situation: I can run some games just fine, so I am sticking to them. For the games that are crashing, I changed settings and tried that, but no luck. Currently, I am in a position where I can recreate the crash in F1 and FM again and again. It happens exactly when game switches from actual gameplay to menus. If I keep running the same benchmark for 10 laps, no crash, but if I quit after 1 lap or even half a lap, guaranteed crash. So, I can rule out overheating as a potential cause. I am leaning towards some sort of hardware malfunction or some software issue. Problem is that there is no blue screen, so I can't even figure out what is causing this crash. Anyway, I just need ideas on how I can troubleshoot this. If I can even find out what is causing the problem, I can at least find a workaround. I can open the backpanel of the laptop but I don't want to risk going further than that in case I yank a random cable or something. But software wise, I can happily tweak around whatever is suggested as that is something I am super comfortable with. P.S. I created this new account, because youtube uses my real name. So, I want to keep it away from my anonymous accounts. app log.evtx Sys Info.nfo Sys Info.txt system log.evtx app log_2057.MTA system log_2057.MTA

Hey everyone, I'm turning to this forum to see if someone can aid me in solving a mysterious problem I am encountering. A real who done it. I'll include as much information as I can, but anything I've missed, let me know. Part 1: The Mysterious Death (problem description) I've recently built a new system (with the obvious aid of LTT). This system consists of firsthand parts and works tremendously well in most cases. 'EXPO I' is enabled (via the BIOS), but no other settings have been adjusted or played with (default profiles across the board). In the last couple of months, I started to play some more beefy games, a particular favorite of mine is Hell Let Loose. This is where I stumbled across the problem initially (as far as I can recall). "Hell Let Loose" is far from optimized, but with a couple of additional Steam launch settings, the game smooths out around the edges. Upon first introducing these launch settings, I put all suggested components into place. One such setting was `-dx12`, which forces the game to use DirectX 12. Shortly after launching the game, my PC (without any warning signs) shuts off. There is no lag, stutter, or freeze that indicates an issue. It's almost as if someone has flicked off the wall outlet. After this point, the system cannot be turned back on with the PC power button. The wall switch (or PSU switch) must be turned off for ~10 seconds, and then the power button works again (and turns on as if nothing happened). Part 2: Following the breadcrumbs (troubleshooting steps taken) At first, I thought this might be a heat problem. ITX + high-end gear, seemed like a reasonable assumption. With the AMD 'Adrenalin' tool on my second monitor, I played again; Constantly keeping an eye on temperatures. Sure enough, I was hitting 85+ degrees (celsius) on my GPU junction. As such, I reduced my video settings and tried again. Unfortunately, I didn't see any temperature improvements with this change. With an FPS overlay, I saw I was getting 300+ frames per second. So, I turned on VSYNC in the game, and BINGO, temperatures dropped significantly (1440p 144hz). Unfortunately, this did not resolve the crashing issue. If not a temperature related issue (seeing as I was now sitting comfortably around 60 degrees on the CPU and 70 for GPU junction), then what? Perhaps it was one of the launch settings I enabled for this game. Removing all the launch settings, I was able to play for a longer period without a crash, but this unfortunately left the game in a less than desirable state. After trying multiple permutations of the launch options, I found that removing the '-dx12' setting removed my issues. Problem solved, life goes on... and then, it came back. After doing some research, I thought it might be my PSU. This was an initial concern for my setup, as I would normally like to shoot well above the recommended specs for my system. Unfortunately, such PSU specs were not available to me at the time. I thought that being 50W above the recommendation would be enough wiggle room. In order to test this theory, I ran my system through a series of stress tests. Using the following tools: - Ryzen Master: CPU stress test - AMD's Adrenalin: GPU test - OCCT: CPU, GPU, RAM and PSU stress tests Each of these tests were run for about 10 minutes each, and consecutively. My system didn't crash and continued to work normally after the hour of stress. Crashes were infrequent, and had no obvious link between what was happening in-game, and when they would occur. Part 3: The washed away footprint (more details that might help) - Whilst I play games, I also watch YouTube on a second monitor. Most instances of random shutdowns occur when multi-tasking in this manner, but I've also encountered some shutdowns without multi-tasking. - Crashes don't occur when programming or internet browsing. I can be running a local host server, with 20+ search tabs, on Discord whilst playing a YouTube video, for 12 hours without issue. - Gaming is the only common denominator. Hell Let Loose is the most common game that crashes my system, but Minecraft (with shaders) has also triggered this issue. - REPRODUCING: Without fail, playing Hell Let Loose, with '-dx12' enabled will cause this issue; Within 5 minutes of playing. - I'm using a multi-box for the two displays and the PC. The multi-box has surge protection, and is reasonably high end. - My PC sits on my desk, and the ambient room temperature (middle of winter) is fairly cool (don't have a thermometer on hand, but I'd estimate 16-20 degrees). - Time of day, and session duration don't seem to play a factor in when the issue occurs. Part 4: Tools of the trade (System Specs) - CPU: 7800X3D || Driver v??? (Windows says it's up to date via device manager) - CPU Fan: Noctua NH-D12L - GPU: Sapphire PULSE, RX 7900 XTX || Driver v23.7.1 - RAM: G.Skill Flare X5 32GB (2x16) - PSU: Lian Li SP850 - SSD (OS): 980 Pro 500GB - SSD (Games): 990 Pro 2000 - MOBO: ASUS X670E-I || BIOS v1616 (latest) - CASE: NR200P (non max) - OS: Windows 11 || Updated, and still having issues Part 5: Final notes I was cautiously aware that my PSU might be problematic. I wasn't sure if Lian Li made quality PSU's, nor was I confident that 850W was enough. It's 80+ gold rated, so I thought this would be enough. I am using an SP750 in a less powerful system (recommended 500W), which doesn't seem to have any troubles at all. Seeing as I'm not able to reproduce the issue with stress tests. I don't know enough about PSU's to be confident that it is the cause of this problem. The symptoms seem to line up, but I can't reproduce this error by putting my system under load. I'm also unable to get any logs of the event, as the system shuts down randomly (where the logging trace buffer is lost). I am very close to purchasing a new PSU, but I wondered if this community had any insight, or more tests to be confident that my PSU is the issue. One potential case (that I'm not sure how to test), is that some event during my gaming sessions, requires the 7900xtx to spike in its request for power. Normally, the 7900xtx (with Hell Let Loose) sits well under 50% of the available wattage availability. Could it be possible that some event requires my GPU to need such a significant power draw? Another potential is that I need to directly plug my PC into mains power. That somehow, my PC is requesting more from the multi-box than available. I'm not able to find any evidence that this is the case, but maybe someone else has more knowledge than me here? I've undervolted the GPU for the time being. I'll have to wait and see if this creates a more stable atmosphere. Any insights and comments are appreciated! I'm more than happy to attempt any solutions. Given I have a fairly reliable means of reproducing this issue, I'll be able to test suggestions relatively quickly. Cheers

Hi!! Today, I was having some problems with software. I reinstalled windows, and now it’s all fixed! However, my PC loves to crash. Sometimes, it’ll crash immediately after hitting enter on the login screen. Other times, it won’t boot at all. Occasionally, when I get to Windows, it’ll crash when I open an app, start multiple downloads, or sometimes when I’m not doing anything. Very rarely, I can play CS:GO or GTA on high to max settings with no problem, and a random crash. I’ve checked all of my cables, reseated all hardware, and individually tested my RAM, GPU, CPU, and PSU. My cooling is essentially on overdrive right now, as I wanted to ensure that it wasn’t overheating. I have 6 case fans, the CPU cooler, and the GPU fans ramping up to 100% fan capacity at 45 degrees Celsius. Anyone have a clue? CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 4500 GPU: Radeon RX 6600 RAM: 2x8Gb 2666mhz PSU: Thermaltake 600W Storage: 256gb NVMe m.2 Storage: 1tb SanDisk SATA SSD A note: When my PC crashes power, other devices (lamps, Amazon echos, etc.) on the same electrical circuit do NOT lose power.

Hey guys, I have had this issue of static randomly occuring for quite some time now and haven't yet found a solution. The static occurs randomly and can vary in how long it lasts. Sometimes it can be hours without the static or a couple of minutes. I do have to preface I only know about it because friends on discord would tell me, so me going hours without complaint may be due to me not speaking or them not telling me. I highly doubt this is a discord issue because this happens on local recordings. Attached are two audio clips where one showcases the microphone working perferctly as normal, and the other being a clip that shows the static I am talking about. I have tried replacing the XLR cable, reseating all the connections both on the interface and into my computer, have also tried changing the bit rate of the microphone and have also tested if the interface is providing 48V of power (provides 46.6V). Even so, nothing has fixed the issue. Any suggestions would be aprreciated because I don't know if this is a software issue or a hardware one and just cut my losses and get new stuff.

Hello! For the past month now, my computer has been experiencing some rather odd crashes, in ways I've never quite seen before. I've spent a considerable amount of time attempting to troubleshoot the issue, but alas, it persists, and I'm worried about potential hardware damage it could cause. Let me play out the events of the crash as they playout. This is just one example of the crashes happening from a few weeks ago, but the events as the crash occurs are always the same. Playing Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six | Siege with two friends in a Discord call. We've been playing for about five or six hours at this point. Suddenly, my controller stops registering inputs into the game, however, I can still see and hear the match playing on without me, I just can't interact with it. I ask my friends in the Discord if they're having issues as well, but I see on my other monitor that Discord is not registering any input from my microphone, though I can still hear the conversation they're having. My keyboard and mouse still work so I alt-tab out of the game, but while I'm doing that, I realize that the RGB lights in them that are usually cycling at a rather fast rate have stopped and look almost as if someone "paused" the cycle. I hit ctrl+alt+del to try and get to Task Manager, but nothing happens. I look over at my GPU and CPU monitoring software, both of which are running fine, neither of which topped more 67*C during the gaming session. After a few seconds of attempts, suddenly the game and Discord audio cutout, and I can no longer interact with any tab. Even the taskbar freezes in place. Then both my mouse and keyboard stop registering inputs as well. Nothing works any more and all tabs and monitors are frozen. I wait several minutes in vein hope that the issue will resolve itself, but nothing happens. Finally, I am forced to hit the power button on the PC itself to close it, but nothing happens. Push the button again several times, still nothing. Alas, in order to turn off the PC, I have to kill power to it and hold the button down until it forces it off. These series of events are repeated every time a crash occurs, the only difference is what I am doing at the time of the crash. For the longest time, the only correlation I could see between crashes was that Nvidia Shadowplay was running in the background, either actively or passively recording something. Having assumed the cause of the crashes was Shadowplay, I disabled all of it's functions and downloaded some different recording software to use in it's place. And that did seem to fix it, going a good several days without another instance of the crash occurring. Until today. Having been bored and not having much to do, I decided to watch some YouTube for a bit. Had only been watching videos for about 40 minutes and another crash occurred except this time there was no Shadowplay, no games, now downloads, not recordings, nothing, and hardly anything running in the background. The computer itself had only been running for probably an hour-and-a-half, and hadn't handled anything taxing like gaming yet. At this point I am genuinely stumped at what could be causing the issue, as I've never had this happened before, nor have I been able to find anything on the web about it. I've ensured I had all of my drivers up-to-date, updated Windows, and reinstalled Razer Synapse for my various input devices. I'm afraid my knowledge on these issues are lacking, and so I'm not even sure where else I should look, or start on trouble shooting, so I would greatly appreciate any assistance I could be given!

I'm trying to find out what is causing my PC to randomly shutdown without warning before it ends up damaging something, but I'm having trouble finding the cause. My build: Dell Optiplex 9020 MT i7-4790 16gb DDR3 EVGA 650w GQ 80+ Gold 500gb SSD 4tb WD Blue 5400 RPM I recently upgraded my GPU from an EVGA GTX 750 ti to a Zotac GTX 1070 Mini and since then my PC has randomly shutdown with no warning or BSOD/error codes. It did this three times before I sent the GPU (bought used on Ebay) back thinking it was a short in the GPU. I then bought a Zotac GTX 1070 ti Mini and the same thing just happened last night. Each time it's happened it's been after an entire day of usage. I work remotely so I'm on 8-10 hours working and then often 4-5 hours of gaming afterward. Out of the times it has happened, it's been after working all day and then at about the last (5th) hour of gaming. It seems to not matter how demanding the game is either. It has happened 3 times when playing Genshin Impact for roughly 30 minutes, after playing other games the rest of that time, but it also happened once playing Dead Rising 3 (a very low ask for this PSU, GPU and CPU.) This has also been with two different CPUs as I originally had the i5-4590 when this started happening, and it's still happening on the i7-4790. I've stress tested the GPU, CPU and PSU with MSI Kombuster, Superposition, GPUmem TEST, OCCT and nothing comes back in error and the temps an wattage stay within normal/safe levels. It's only when it's been a really long use day. I've ordered a PSU tester, but it seems like that's the likely cause. I just hope it hasn't damaged anything since it has OTP, OCP, OPP and OVP on it. The PSU is less than 3 years old so it's in warranty. My question is, does this sound like it's definitely the PSU, or is there something else I might be missing? Below is my case if it helps. I thought it might be my PSU overheating, but my case is pretty open and nothing else is overheating. I was also logging the system at the time of the last shutdown and noticed the GPUw had spiked right when the PC shutdown, but the wattage has been higher than this during normal gameplay with no issues. So maybe it is just a faulty PSU and the spikes trigger something in it?

So I was playing game named Squad. And in middle of game monitor goes no signal, and everytime i click it, just says no signal and turns off... What the IMG_1721.MOV

PC is seemingly randomly shutting down without a BSOD. Shutdowns happen at all hours of the day and during any kind of activity, even idle or browsing the web. PC does not restart automatically. Shutdowns appear to come in waves where the issue might be gone for weeks and then suddenly shows up every few hours all of the sudden. Specs: Windows 10 Pro 64bit Mainboard: ASUS H87M-E (Version 0904, 2201 is latest) CPU: i7-4770(non K) (with stock cooler) RAM: Some Kingston 2x4GB DDR3 1600MHz GPU: GTX 1050 SSD: Crucial MX500 256GB (kinda new) PSU: MSI MAG A550BN (550W, new) + ancient 500GB HDD Apart from Event ID 41 there is not a lot in the event viewer. Already swapped out the PSU and the problem persists. No error message given, no unusual sound, event ID 41 in Event viewer. Additional info that might be of use: - Shutdowns started happening after moving into new location(!) - After a shutdown the PC might crash immediately after starting, could point to overheating but idk which part - Like written above the BIOS isn't updated to the newest version however it had always worked before and I'd rather try other options first if possible Things I tried from the top of my head: - Termpatures of CPU are okay, but also reapplied thermal paste (a few times) just in case - CPU Cooler is properly seated - Reset BIOS settings - PSU swapped and cables seem to be fully inserted - Reinstalled GPU drivers with DDU - Tried connect PC to a different power outlet - Checked disk integrity for windows users What do you guys think could be the issue and what are the next steps that I could possibly take? After already spending some money on a power supply that apparently wasn't the root of the problem, I'd prefer going for cost-efficient methods that don't require me to buy new parts to single out the faulty component. Since the problem isn't easily reproducible it might be hard to debug but I will try to supply you with any logs/information you might need. Thank you for your help.

Hello everyone, I have this problem that really grinds my gears. Apex Legends is the game i play the most, but it also happens on wz 2.0. My system: Asus Tuf b450m plus gaming Ryzen 7 2700 (not X, not OC) Zotac RTX 2080 (not super, not oc) 2x 8GB DDR4 3200 Corsair Vengeance (DOCP enabled) SSD samsung 970 evo plus (firmware updated) PSU is a sesonic gold plus 650w Monitor Benq xl2411 1080p 144hz plugged via DP 2º monitor is a 60hz HP, 1080p also connected by DP The temperature of the CPU and GPU never goes more than 85ºc The problem: When I'm playing Apex Legends 1080p with everything on the lowest possible quality settings, no v-sync and NVIDIA reflex doesn't matter if its off, on or on+boost, i'm always under 120fps and the worst is that from time to time (but in the same match on every match) it stutter for like 0,5 seconds, the frames drop to like 80, and it really ruins the experience for me and I fell that with the hardware I own and the settings I have it should be butter smooth, am I wrong? I've used DDU unistaller and have reinstalled the graphics drivers, windows is always updated (windows 11 ATM),, installed only the drivers + the Apex game, the problem still there. BIOS is updated to the last version available on asus website. I've also disassembled and reassembled all the components to minimize bad connections. I've also disable DOCP, and even with sotck BIOS the problem remains. I don't know, what else I can do. Any ideas? Thanks a lot to those who spend time to read this post Much Love LTT fam.

Hi everybody! I have problem with my PC, and I can’t determine why that is happening. Sometime, not every time, when I’m playing RS6 siege and Quake Champions (everything maxed out), my PC turns off and then turns on itself. I tried troubleshooting it, but I still don’t know why that’s happening. I think that maybe power supply is too weak, or motherboard is potato. This is my specification: CPU: i9 10900F GPU: Nvidia RTX 3090 RAM: KINGSTON HyperX FURY RGB 16GB DDR4 3200MHz CL16 Motherboard: Asus PRIME B460M-K PSU: ROG-STRIX-750G 750W Case: Fractal Torrent with ARGB fans AIO: Corsair iCUE H170i ELITE LCD Display (I’m using push pull, so I have in total 7x140mm vents and 2x180mm) Regarding the processor, I changed some settings in BIOS so now it can draw 220w of power instead of 65W. Prior RTX 3090 I had RTX 3070 with same processor and settings I didn’t have any problems with PC shutting down. For RAM, XMP is enabled. I tried running FurMark on couple of maximum resolutions, and I was running it for 1hr, with temps of 68C and nothing happen. I tried running CPU stress test (HeavyLoad app) and I was running it for 1hr with CPU temps around 58C, and nothing happened. But as soon as I run one test (for example CPU), same millisecond I click to run graphic test (and reverse) PC turns off. I placed video in attachment of that. Thank you for help in advance!

I have been wanting to have a smart card sign in for my personal PC. I have been trying get this to work via a VM using Hyper-V but I can not get it work. I have the Domain controller created and have a CA. I just can not get my personal PC to connect to the Domain. I have been working on this random project on and off for about 4 months. I have tried looking into a Linux alternative but can not find one. If anyone knows how to get this project working or have a Linux alternative I can use would be great. Any help would be amazing.

Hey everyone, I am having very sudden freezes and then the entire PC will restart after about 5 seconds of it being frozen. It doesn't give an error message or anything, it will simply go black screen and the entire system will restart. It happens mostly while gaming, but I had it happen one time today after a reboot and no loads were present. I have a NZXT H1 Mini case (V1). The crashes are also becoming more frequent. I had my first one last week, and about once a day until now. Today, it has crashed about 6 times already. I am assuming it is a PSU issue however, I also noticed that while gaming, my GPU was under 95-99% load, but only 65-70 Celsius. To troubleshoot it, I took apart the case and played with it open, and it lasted about 10 minutes before the crash. When it did crash, I saw a yellow/orange light on the mobo, and then it went off, and a red light came on, until it restarted. If it is the PSU, I'm not sure how to really go about replacing it since I believe it is a NZXT proprietary cable and it came with the NZXT H1 case, pre-installed. System Specs: Operating System: Windows 64-Bit, V: 22H2 GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Super, Driver Version: 526.98 Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix X570-I, BIOS Version: 1407 CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-Core Processor Ram: 2x16gb Corsair Ram DDR4 Storage: ADATA 2TB SSD PSU: Came pre-installed with the NZXT H1 V1 case, I believe it is 650W SFX-L (according to their website). Any help/advice would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hello helpers, I recently purchased a bunch of parts on newegg to build my sister a super nice PC that she could use to stream and play all her games at max settings on 1440p. Here are the specs followed by the problem. Processor: Ryzen 9 5950x with noctua nh-d15 cooler Ram: 2x Corsair Vengeance 8gb 3200Mhz GPU: Asus Rog Strix RTX3080 12gb Mobo: MSI MPG X570 Gaming Plus Storage: Samsung 970 m.2 ssd 2tb PSU: Corsair RM750x 2018 The problem is random restarts, with event ID41 in event viewer which basically means nothing. She will be watching a video on youtube, playing a game or something and it just suddenly reboots. What was done so far to no avail. -Checked temps, cpu stays under 80 degree and so does gpu, chipset stays under 70, ssd under 50. so temps seems fine (that was during the 30 minutes aida64 test) -Use an uniterruptible power supply unit (cyber power pure sine wave CP1500PFCLC) to supply better input current. -Test ssd using samsung magician, did a complete test that took 40 minutes and no error detected. -Tried windows 10, windows 11, nothing changes still reboots randomly. -Tried keeping XMP profile disabled -Tried setting game mode in ryzen master -Tried 3 different bios versions -Ran aida64 complete stress test for 30 minutes, temps were stable and no crash. -on the cyberpower ups there is an lcd that showed peak wattage of 696 watts under the 100% stress test in aida64 and as i said it didn't crash which seems to indicate that the psu is right on the edge but still high wattage enough to ensure stable 100% use. -Using high performance power mode in window. -The ram was used in a previous computer with no issue whatsoever, same for the power supply. I've read about many things, from psu, to bad ram, to bad motherboard or cpu, it seems that it could be basically anything. I think i am still within RMA time with newegg as i received the components less than 1 month ago. So yeah, what would you guys do, do you experience similar issues? what do you suggest i try to fix the problem? Thanks for your input! I might edit my post later if I think about more things i've done. DxDiag.txt

Hello, I have been experiencing issues wit my PC recently. My Pc would just gone to the shutdown screen after awhile. I thought It was the PSU l, so I replaced it with a new one just a couple days ago, but the problem's still there. I have also cleaned my PC to make sure It's not a heat problem to no avail. The temperature is around 29 degrees when idle. Could It be the motherboard? I have just replaced the motherboard last December. This problem occured after I updated my graphics driver, I have tried to roll back, but it also didn't work. Here's my specs: MSI A320M A-PRO RYZEN 3 2200G 16 GB RAM 128 GB TEAM ELITE SATA SSD 512 GB ADATA M.2 NVME SSD CORSAIR CX450M 450W PSU Thank you. UPDATE: I'm not sure what happened, but the problem has been solved. I tried to reseat everything one more time and the random shutdowns is now gone, this didn't work last time.

Hi, so I was casually playing ets2 (Euro Truck Simulator 2) when all of sudden, BAM game went incredibly laggy! I was like whoa! That was strange so I carries on thinking of nothing but then it got worse 1 fps. So exited the game downloaded a different version but then it was still happening so then I was like ugh let's just close it and restart. But when I closed the game down I heard 3 fast beeps. Never heard it before. So I restarted to be sure and researched it and may be a problem with ram but it was fine after that. Am I just worrying. Any ideas will be appreciated.

So, i have a really wierd problem. My phone worked like a charm until now, because it hardly a year old device. One day last week, i just woke up to the phone vibrating, because sounds stopped working, and then other things followed. Music just skips with "cant play this song", System sounds dont work at all, as for other types of sounds. What i think it isnt are the speakers, because at least headphones would work, but they dont. Voice recorder wont do anything, as well as screen recorder. I tried restarting the phone, turning volume low/high, do not disturb, silent mode, bluetooth. None of it did anything. I am really desperate and dont know how to fix it. When i look on the internet, i cant find anything similiar to my problem.

Hey guys, I’ve already searched through a lot and tried plenty of things but I just can’t fix my PC issues. The problem: · Playing any kind of game (no matter the graphical intensity) for about an hour my PC will reboot. No blue screen just a simple restart. Motherboard error code – VGA. · After the reboot at times booting back into Windows is not possible. Get to Windows log in screen and without even touching anything it will reboot the same way. This will continue until I force shutdown with power button while it is still trying to reboot. Can log in after turning PC back on. · Starting any kind of game after it first reboots will immediately cause the same issues. · Letting the PC remain off for about 10 minutes will let it not fail for the around 10 minutes again. But without fail it will always start rebooting. · From this it seems like there is a power/graphics card issue. Ran stress tests letting both the CPU and GPU heat up and no crashes – temps were fine. Unless the stress test goes on for about an hour it will not crash/reboot. · Only program that seemingly always recreates the issue is Unigine Heaven. This acts in two ways: o Complete 1 full run without fail. Start another run and it reboots towards the end of the test. o Just barely starting a run and PC reboots. Boot back into windows start program again and instant reboot without even starting the benchmark. · These issues also happen when browsing for about an hour. I use Google Chrome. No other resource heavy programs are running. After rebooting it will reboot again after just opening Chrome (not instantly – 1-2 minutes after) · No issues will happen when I watch TV shows or Movies for hours/full day using Plex launcher on this PC. · Even after having first reboot and PC ready to crash again after just launching a game or Chrome. Nothing will happen if I just stay on my desktop screen without launching any extra programs. Tested for about 30 minutes and no reboots – launch Chrome/game/benchmark and instant reboot. What I tried so far and did not help: · Reinstalled windows – was on an old Windows 10 version. Reinstalled to newest and updated. · Newest drivers. · Reseated GPU. · Reseated BIOS battery. In conclusion, PC will reboot after having a game/chrome/benchmark run for about an hour (always seems like the same amount of time) and needs about an hour of being off before I can use it again for the same amount of time. Does not apply when just logged in to desktop and using Plex HTPC app to watch TV shows/Movies for the whole day. Anyone know what might be causing the issues? Right now this PC is just a Plex machine (HDMI connected to my TV) and a light browsing for up to an hour. PC specs: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 – stock cooler and no overclock.

EDIT APRIL 5TH 2022: So, last week, I've decided to disassemble my entire setup, disconnecting all cables and even re-installing my CPU. I did that, and left my pc without the backside panel, as I thought the cleaning would be in vain and I would have to reinstall a new PSU soon. Somehow it's been almost 5 days without any reboots. I don't know what happened, but the old and reliable re-assembly seems to have fixed it. I'll keep you posted if the PC reboots again. One of my main theories is that some kind of short circuit was produced by the SATA cables on the back touching the back of the motherboard accidentally when the backside pannel was on. Other theories include: - PSU reheating due to dust on its fan. - Some cable that got a bad connection? - Dust in some connection making problems? -------------------------------------- System CPU: Ryzen 5 1600 GPU: Asus Strix GTX 1080 (ROG-STRIX-GTX1080-A8G-GAMING) RAM: VENGEANCE LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DRAM DDR4 2400mhz Corsair Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-AB350-Gaming 3 BIOS: F52e PSU: Thermaltake Smart 650w 80 Plus Bronze (SP-650P) SSD: WD Green SATA SSD M.2 240GB (Good - 57% health reported by CrystalDisk) (Here is Windows installed) SSD: KINGSTON SATA SSD 480gb (Good - 100% health reported by CrystalDisk) HDD: WD Blue 1TB 7200rpm (Good - reported by CrystalDisk) HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200rpm (Good - reported by CrystalDisk) OS: WINDOWS 10 x64 - build 19044 Others: Gaming Keyboard, Innalambric mouse, Presonus Audio interface, xbox controllers, several usb, etc. Note: The oldest component is the PSU, with 7 years of using. ---- Hello, lovely community, I hope you are doing great. As the title mentions, a few months ago my pc started rebooting randomly, without warnings or error messages. It doesn't shutdown, It happens mostly when doing not demanding activities like working on Excel, listening to Spotify or just watching some Youtube videos. I think it happened once while gaming, but I'm not so sure. What did I try: Changing both Memory sticks to the other 2 slots Reinstalling Windows Updating Windows, BIOS, Drivers, etc Disconnecting the reboot button on the chassis Disconnecting the last SSD I bought (the Kingston one) Checking temps, they are more than fine. I don't know what else to try, and I wanted to know if there was anything else to do before going and buy a new PSU. Any ideas? Thanks so much!

I have a mid-range gaming PC, It started to crash randomly after a while of use, the fans still spin but the screen goes black. Then I started to see a pattern, it crashes when playing games (most of the time) and, let's say I play games on it for an hour and it crashes.... The next time I turn it on it will work for an extra hour or two, then it will crash (or don't, It's random, but mostly yes). And the biggest issue I have is that sometimes (once in a week or so...) it just won't boot up, the lights still turn on, the fans spin but the screen will remain black and the input devices won't work (i know because the keyboard lights don't work in this state) and it will stay like this for an hour or two, maybe even 2-3 days or sometimes even weeks! After which it eventually decides to boot. It not only does this after crashing, but even after i shut it down properly, the next time it may or may not boot. I have tried plugging it on a wall as well. My gpu power cables were initially 6 pin to 8 pin adapters, so i thought this might be the issue... But it still did not work even after i bought the proper cables. Please help! These are the hardware specifications: intel core i7 3770k 16 gb ddr3 RAM AMD r9 280x 3gb 256 gb SSD (Windows 10 installed on it) 1 tb HDD

hi my pc is crashing randomly with different bsod codes every time can you guys tell me which component is causing those issue it is a hardware issue because i have tried everything on internet ( memtest86, gpu benchmark for hours, cpu benchmarks etc, updating bios, fresh install etc ) you guys can exclude ram because it is highly unlikely both of my rams gone bad my system is also having this weird issue where it freezes when i try to weight paint in blender guru 3.0 daunt tutorial video below system config os windows 10 pro 64 cpu r5 3600 gpu rtx 2060 ram gskill ripjaws 16gb 8*2 psu antech 650 watt mobo msi b450 pro vdh max ssd crucial bx 240 gb hdd wd blue 1tb samsung 144hz curved gaming monitor the dump files are below thanks 1032558605_Desktop2022_03.22-19_17_23_02.mp4 031322-5953-01.dmp 031322-6796-01.dmp 031322-7000-01.dmp 031322-20296-01.dmp 032222-17515-01.dmp
