Hello everyone, So i recently bought a Gigabyte Gaming OC 4070 SUPER gpu and until a couple days ago everything was running like a dream... Then after i for some reason decided to install Gigabyte Control Centre and updated the firmware to F1.1 from gigabytes site, after which everything especially games look weird... Its super grainy and makes my eyes tired fast which is weird and has never happened before... Please suggest a solution ( i am on Windows 10 if that helps )

just finished my pc, but it won’t boot into bios and the only light showing up is the “CPU” light. nor will my keyboard be powered when plugged in, i’ve plugged the hdmi into the gpu and the motherboard

Hi everyone, I am at a bit of a loss. I have a pretty badass PC, RTX 4090, 7800X3D, 32gb of ram, gen4 SSDs. It generally treats me well but when I connect my Samsung 4k tv to it, the whole computer hangs and is totally unresponsive for between 1-3 minutes. I am using HDMI 2.0 for the TV as all of my DisplayPorts are taken up by three monitors. Making other changes like switching the TV to game mode (120 hz) from regular mode also cause this hanging to happen. It does not happen when unplugging the tv. It does eventually work, but its very strange that it happens every time. This kind of thing has never happened to me with my laptops or older desktops. Any help would be appreciated. Let me know if I have forgotten any details. I have no screenshots to post as the issue is just a freeze. Thanks!

this is my first pc build, i’m just trying to boot into bios to install my OS and it won’t show, i have to order new RAM because i was silly and didn’t look at it was DDR4 and my motherboard only supports DDR5. could that be the issue as to why or my newbie wiring? i’ve tried plugging it both into GPU and motherboard but nothing has come up.

My Specs are: Ryzen 5 3600 16 GB Corsair Vengance Pro RGB MSI B550-M-Pro-VDH-Wifi GTX 1060 Corsair 550W psu I have been having this problem for almost a year now without any resolve, my motherboard's cpu debug light comes on sometimes during boot. Other times it boots into windows fine but either restarts or just shuts off (but the rgb is on in the case). I have already RMA'd the motherboard pretty recently and that has not solved the issue. Note: This was my first build so i do not have any spare parts. I have attached a video of the current issue along with a picture of the CPU. There's also 2 more videos of things that happened after i flashed the BIOS to the newesr stable version in the imgur link. The other 2 videos RDT_20230825_201023.mp4

alright so the problem is that when I launch a game my screen randomly goes black within a few minutes, its inconsistent and only happens most of the time, and the audio either loops, as in like when I'm shooting in the game it just keeps looping that sound or it just straight up freezes, this used to happen when I wasn't in a game too but I managed to fix it (I think) but the funny thing is that when the screen went black in my desktop when I pressed a button on my keyboard I hear an error noise, all of these problems can only be fixed when I either hold down the power down button or I pressed the hard reset button on my case. Also, my gpu wouldn't turn on with my pc so I reseated a couple of times till it powered on. Here is a list of what I tried in order to fix my computer: 1 :reset bios 2 :update bios 3 :reinstall graphics drivers 4 :disable XMP 5 :disable ULPS in reg editor 6 :sometimes the screen would be black when I started it so I reseated the ram till it worked 7 :reseated gpu 8 :updated Windows 9 :put my power plan on balanced instead of ultimate performance and that's about it, here's a list of my pc components: Zotac twin edge before rtx 4070 12gb gpu AMD R5 7600x cpu asrock b650m pg riptide mobo cooler master g700 psu oloy blade ddr5 5600mhz ram samsung 980 SSD hyper 212 spectrum v3 cpu cooler also an additional bit of information, I'm using an outlet extension to power my 2 monitors and pc. Thanks for reading.

I’m currently building a new pc. I have a gigabyte b650e elite aorus ax ice, a Radeon 7900xt hellhound, ryzen 7 7800x3d, and a 1000w psu from seasonic. Upon turning it in for the first time, I am getting a vga light in the motherboard and no display at all. I tried reseating the gpu, ram, and cpu. I have reconnected all psu cables, and I have tried booting with onboard video wit gpu removed from system. All of these have failed at changing anything at all and I fear I have a faulty motherboard. Does anyone else have any ideas before I call time of death? Thank you so much in advance

I am trying to host a local Minecraft server on pc hopefully without port forwarding using a VPN service but I do not understand how to do so. I am hoping to only allow access to this server from one MAC address allowing me and my friend to play. I can’t find a rock solid answer online so I thought I would present this problem here.

Hi all. I've been having a heating problem with my custom PC for a while. The gist of the problem is that the heat of my CPU gets incredibly high (like, between 85-100°C high) for no apparent reason. I'll have Discord and a couple of Chrome tabs open, or just one app, and my fans start blowing extremely loud, with my performance also lagging. I'll check Task Manager, and displayed performance will be normal, something like 1-4% CPU usage. However, the CPU will get so hot, sometimes it thermal throttles. At one point, I replaced the thermal paste and blew out any dust, and the problem persisted. This continued for a while, and then completely disappeared for over a year for seemingly no reason. I was able to run multiple apps and a game at once with no issues. However, it's recently shown up again. Through testing, here's what I've discovered: My AIO seems to work. It makes funny noises sometimes, but I've checked, and at these high temps, both tubes feel like they have water flowing, and one is hot while the other is cool. I've also checked fans, they blow a good amount of cool air out of the top, and the radiator doesn't seem especially hot either. Again, this isn't a result of pushing my PC too hard. This pretty much never happens when I'm doing especially challenging things like running VR games or several applications at once, only at low workloads. Likely not a result of misreadings, as both the area around the CPU and one of the AIO tubes get warm. Anyone have any idea what's going on? My specs are as follows: Ryzen 7 5800X MSI SUPRIM RTX 3070 Ti 32GB 3800mhz Trident Z RAM MSI MPG B550 GAMING PLUS motherboard Lian Li GALAHAD 240mm AIO Help would be much appreciated! EDIT: Might also be important to mention that these aren't spikes: Immediately from boot, temps on several sensors go up to 85+ and stay like that.

Greetings, I recently have purchased a Steelseries stratos+ controler due to it having USB c for charging. I wanted to use it with my PC by utilizing a Bluetooth dongle. However while waiting for the delivery I found out that it doesn't support Wireless connection with Windows. Is there any walk-around to be able to use it wirelessly with Windows?

So I have been having this issue for the past few months. It's a new system not even a year. The problem: My system randomly shutdown either while playing games, doing some editing work or just sitting idle watching YouTube. It's not only random shutdown, sometimes it's just random reboot. Initially it happened (random reboot or shutdown) only if I did any work which required my GPU like gaming or editing but then it suddenly started working absolutely fine without fixing anything for a week or so. Then the problem surfaced again without wany warning. Things I have done to fix this issue: 1) I have already replaced the motherboard once as the whole system is still under warranty. 2) I have already replaced the CPU. 3) I bought UPS as the place I'm living in witnesses extremely amount of power cuts. I have also noticed whenever there's a random shut down or reboot the Ez Debug DRAM LED on my motherboard stays on. This happens in certain occasions only. On the other hand this LED staying on doesn't happen everytime just sometimes. Also when my system shuts down my keyboard lights are still on indicating keyboard is getting detected but my mouse is not. The whole system is running, the fans are working fine but the display goes. Even my problem is inconsistent. Sometimes it's just a shut down, sometimes it's a reboot, sometimes the display goes away but the system is running, sometimes the DRAM LED is on and sometimes it's not (indicating there's nothing wrong with the RAM). Please I really need some help. I know I might have to replace certain parts but whici one ti be exact. The PSU, RAM or the GPU.

so not so long ago i installed new m2 into system and basically me and my friend managed to get it booting, but today i decided to change old hdd's status from dynamic to basic disk so i can extend my disk D with additional unused 150gb of storage but now it doesn't see any boot devices and boots into bios, any help or advice? (windows was already installed on m2 and has tons of files on it)

My PC is running a GTX660, PCIe2.0 X16, and 8 GB of RAM. I also don't know what CPU it is running, but I can probably check somehow. Does anyone know what I can run or if it bottlenecks?

Brand new PC is having black screen crashes in Destiny 2. Long story short, I just built a brand new computer last week (specs below). On first boot, I wanted to test my most-played game, Destiny 2, and was super happy to see it maxing out with 144fps and FreeSync-type smoothness. However, over the past week, Destiny has been crashing randomly, sometimes even as I first load into an area. I have done just about every Reddit/YouTube troubleshoot in the book, still to no avail. My PC seems to run fine in everything else, it's just Destiny that has constant issues. I'll summarize the list of issues below, including specs, and the common error code when my system crashes. Issue: Destiny 2 black screen after playing for anywhere between 1-20 minutes, booted back to windows home screen, presented with error code "Broccoli" (GPU issue in-game), restart required to open Destiny again. In game before crashes is very stuttery, lots of screen tearing. PC is still running after crash, no MB debug lights come on, and I'm able to use most desktop apps post-crash as well. Things I've noticed: No GPU or CPU temperature peaking during crashes, super high scores with no crashing 3DMark or Heaven, no issues in other games, VRAM MHz sits around 1000 even when idle, game sits around 75-85% GPU utilization in intensive areas. Tweaks to my system I've made: XMP enabled on RAM, CPU undervolted to max 85W, tested GPU clock speed to max at 3000MHz, undervolted to 1050mV, power limit increase to 15% (all stable but not in Destiny). Fixes I've tried that haven't worked: 1. Resolution tweaks with CRU to reduce idle VRAM MHz. 2. Disable and fully delete Xbox game bar. 3. Reset GPU overclock to out-of-box tuning. 4. DDU graphics drivers. 5. Went back to old drivers that were "more stable" for the 7x00 series of AMD cards. 6. Windows memory test (just to make sure it wasn't the RAM). 7. Set power plan to high performance, also giving Destiny 2 high priority graphics settings. 8. Updated chipsets and BIOS. 9. Verified game files via Steam. 10. Disabled full screen optimization (this has helped with overall smoothness). Error Code: Display driver amduw23g stopped responding and has successfully recovered. This is the error code I have been receiving every crash. I'm not 100% sure this is the culprit, but there are no other warning codes around the crashing times. People on reddit whop receive this code seem to have similar issues to my own. I have linked a pic of this error code below. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edit Log: Few hours after posting this, I'm having worse stutters in game. I ran a strike with no crashes, and I had GPU-Z handy on my second monitor. GPU-Z shows that when these stutters happen, the following drop to zero or near zero: GPU clock, GPU load, Board Power Draw, and GPU voltage. These stutters are like skipping frames, imagine freezing for half a second before the game goes right back to normal. Specs: CPU: Ryzen 7 7700x GPU: AMD Radeon 7800xt RAM: G.skill 6000Mhz CL32 MB: MSI B650-p Wifi PSU: Thermaltake GF1 850W (2024) Case: Corsair 3000D Monitor: Dell S2716DG (GSync, no FreeSync) Thank you to everyone who responds with help. I'm hoping I'm able to figure this out soon.

Hello, so i have a sapphire pulse rx580 8gb for a few years now and ever since i got it ive been noticing this weird "moving pixels" and very horrible aa in every single game. Its not game braking and i usually dont notice it much but ive been wondering if anyone else has seen this before and knows how to fix it. Ive literally tried everything, different settings on the amd software, ive reinstalled windows multiple times since ive got it, upgraded my bios and so on. The one thing that seems to be making a difference is if i use virtual super resolution but that isnt really a choice since my pc isnt that good. Here is a video in gw2 to demonstrate what i mean by "moving pixels" but keep in mind in other games this effect is much much more amplified. Notice where my mouse is pointing. Also the game graphics settings are at max with the highest aa setting for gw2 being SMAA high. My specs: Ryzen 5 5500 (had the same problem with ryzen 3 2200g) AMD sapphire pulse rx580 8gb asrock 350ab pro4 with bios 7.0 so that it can support Cezanne (had the same problem before upgrading the cpu) dual channel 16gb ram with xmp at 3200mhz Any ideas or advice are welcome, thanks in advance. EDIT: I have also uninstalled/reinstalled/updated my drivers many times and are currrently on version 24.1.1 . Guild Wars 2_clip_1_clip_1.mp4

Hi all, I recently switched from a Ryzen 5 3600 to a Ryzen 7 5800X3D. It may be important to note that I initially upgraded from a 3600 & RTX 3070 to a 5800X3D and 7900 XT, and was running a stress test with Prime95 & Furmark at once on a 750W PSU. The computer immediately shut down, so I upgraded to a 1000W PSU and don't have this issue anymore. They both run fine at the same time (could this have damaged by CPU/motherboard causing this issue?). I was idling fine on the 3600 around 35 C, but this 5800 idles around 65-70 C. I've asked around on Reddit and other forums and everyone seems to agree that these temps are way too high. From what other people post, I should be seeing around 30 to 40 C idling (when I say "idle", I mean with Discord, Steam, and HWiNFO open at once). I've tried the following: Disabled A-XMP in my BIOS (made no difference, so I turned it back on) Updated my BIOS Reset CMOS Swapped out the kryosheet I re-used from my 3600 for a new one Changing the cooler from a be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 to a DeepCool Assassin IV Changing from a kryosheet to thermal paste Nothing I've done has changed the temps and I'm completely lost at this point. Here are my specs: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 32 GB (4x8 GB) DDR4 3200 RAM (3200 w/ A-XMP on) (if the brand matters it's TEAM Group TFORCE) MSI B450 Tomahawk (latest BIOS revision as of this post, not Tomahawk MAX) AMD 7900 XT Corsair RM1000E 1000W PSU I'm using HWiNFO to read my temps, and reading the Tctl/Tdie temp. Screenshot If anyone can point me in the right direction here as to what I'm doing wrong, I would GREATLY appreciate it. The only thing I haven't tried is reinstalling Windows, but I'm not sure how/why that would help.

My pc has been crashing while gaming and i havent found anything after many stress tests and driver reinstalls that points to a common issue except for this event viewer error -------------------------------------- A fatal hardware error has occurred. Reported by component: Processor Core Error Source: Machine Check Exception Error Type: Cache Hierarchy Error Processor APIC ID: 5 --------------------------------------- I have no idea what this means or what to do. The Processor APIC ID isnt always 5, sometimes its 0 or 6 but all the rest of the error is consistent. the more demanding the game, the more likely this will occur. NO BSOD, just maybe a few seconds of a green frozen screen or just black screen then instant restart. the audio also glitches while the crash is happening sometimes. WHat does this mean? How can I resolve this? What should I try first? Specs: Radeon RX 5700, Ryzen 7 5800x, 16gb ram ddr4 3600mhz, rog strix x-570-e gaming motherboard, EVGA supernova 650w G3. What ive tried: DDU the video driver countless times and using old and latest amd drivers, testing all components under max load in stress tests, clearing shader cache and cpu cache, memtests and disk checks multiple times, reseating gpu and switching ram dimm slots. None of these have stopped the crashes from happening.

I switched to a new case, and my 7800X3D temps would spike like 12 degrees C just by scrolling on the youtube home page. I have an EK AIO Cr-360 D Lux RGB. I unscrewed the pump and screwed it back in just incase it wasn't making full contact. When I held the pump it was warm, and I thought that was weird so I went into my bios and changed the Pump speed to 80% instead of constant 100%. The temps stopped spiking and went back to normal. Does anyone know what causes this? My AIO pump was running at 100% constantly in my old case and I never had any issues.

I've been using my pc for 6 years now and haven't upgraded much. I would have random hard freezes when gaming and I would have to shut my pc down only by using the power button. I have PC manager installed and I've noticed that my pc freezes when my temporary files reach around 850mb. CPU: I7-7700k RAM: G.Skill Trident Z RGB 2X16GB Motherboard: MSI Z270 gaming M7 GPU: Asus Strix GTX 1080TI OC PSU: Silverstone 750W Gold Operating System: Windows 10 Home 64bit BIOS: Version 1.70 Any help is appreciated.

hello, i am trying to flash my motherboard with the latest bios version using gigabyte q-flash. i installed every component of the pc, but the dram debug light was on. i tried every solution to that and found that a possible solution was to flash the bios. so i try to flash the bios, after clearing cmos using the jumpers and removing the battery. i also removed all components and re plugged motherboard and cpu power. after pressing the q-flash button, the cpu debug light turns on for around 1 second and then turns off. the motherboard manual says that a light will flash and should take around 6 minutes to flash. please help, thank you

A couple of days ago my Steam Deck and an Anker battery just broke. For the Steam Deck there was no warning and no action which took place beforehand that could be an obvious cause of the issue. I just one day unplugged the device from the official Steam Deck charger and it did not turn on. The charging indicator light does not do anything either. When I say the Deck broke it BROKE. Just to clarify, there were no signs of life from the console. A little after I noticed a similar story for the Anker battery. I tried to charge my phone with it but it just would not charge. Then, I noticed the batteries indicator lights would not do anything. Just like the Steam Deck, the battery also showed absolutely zero signs of life. So I began considering what may have caused the issue. Currently I have no solid conclusion, but it is possible that the Steam Deck Charger could be the cause as that is the primary charger I use for both devices. Except possibly not, as I use the same charger for my phone and my phone functions (for the most part). So I am at a loss here, my Steam Deck ran out of warranty so warranty is not an option. As for the Anker battery I have yet to see.

Budget (including currency): I'll save up until I can buy the recommendation. Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mostly competitive games, and working on React Other details My current computer specs: My computer cannot hit 180fps consistently on both Valorant (average 160fps on any settings) and CS2 (average 102fps on Medium and High, 1280x1024). Also, Euro Truck Simulator 2 gets 100fps on High settings. Should I try doing a fresh install to remove unnecessary apps? I upgraded my HDD to an M.2 SSD and I cloned the drive.

Hello, throwing a Hail Mary to see if anyone has more troubleshooting advice for a specific problem with my system. I've been having issues with what i think is driver related, but i'm super unsure. I've got a Samsung G9 OLED(FreeSync model) that i get somewhat frequent blackscreens with. The application that causes it varies, but it happens primarily while gaming. The screen will go totally black with the system still running & most of the times i have to do a hard reset on my PC with the powerbutton, go into device manager, disable/enable the driver from my graphics card a few times, then it sometimes will bring back the display. I've seen around other forums with people who have the same issue, but never a full resolution or one that has worked with me so far. _______________________________ System :: Ryzen AM5 7950x MSI X670E Carbon Wi-Fi w/ Trident Z Neo 64Gb DDR5 6000Mhz (4x16) PowerColor 7900XTX Red Devil Limited Samsung Odyssey G9 OLED 49" (G95SC) ________________________________ I've tried to Driver uninstall with DDU Update drivers via Andrenalin Graphic driver reload with Win-CTRL-B Disabling the generic windows driver so that it doesn't override the graphics card(solution found on other forums) Full OS reinstall (only worked for certain amount of time) Currently i uninstalled the graphics card drivers to reinstall through AMD Software, but now it has a popup with , "Windows update may have automatically replaced your AMD graphic driver. Hence the version of AMD software you have launched is not compatible with your currently installed AMD graphics driver" So the troubleshooting is basically compounding at this point because the version i re-installed is the same version i originally had & was "working". Ironically when i try to force the driver issue today, it's perfectly fine when i'm trying to dig through Event Viewer Logs. Any ideas is appreciated. I just want to make sure it's a graphics card issue or a motherboard issue before i start any RMA process. -Hawk

I have very little experience in building PC’s. I installed a Gigabyte 4080 Super I got from Newegg today, with the help of a LTT Youtube Short and 2 friends via facetime. Upon powering up my PC, the GPU wasn’t detected in the System Information, Device Manager, or BIOS. I downloaded the latest Nvidia Driver with support for the 4080 Super, and when I ran the Installation I was met with an error that said I can’t install this driver because there is no nvidia hardware detected. I read a bunch of reddit threads and discovered DDU so I downloaded it and ran it according to the instructions (disconnecting GPU, running it while connected to motherboard, select GPU and NVIDIA, after shut down I connected the GPU but it still didn’t solve the problem. I read another thread here about Gigabyte specifically having an issue with their NVIDIA 12VHPWR adapter, and to try it with 1/3 of the cables disconnected, but to no avail as well. If anyone can help, I would be personally and eternally indebted lol If any other info is needed, please let me know. After reading the post instructions, I’m flashing my BIOS to the latest version now but I don’t know if that could be the cause of all this. UPDATE: I followed the recommendations and tried re-seating it without the Network Adaptor and it worked. Although I should mention I think it was not properly seated the first time. I’m going to re-install the Network Adaptor later tonight after work and see if it works still. Thanks for the help guys!

Hello users of the LTT forum, after a lot of reseating and troubleshooting I finally decided to try another PSU since my vega wasn't giving me a display signal. I replaced my immaculate Straight Power 10 600 Watt Gold Efficiency PSU, which has been powering a much more power hungry GPU for about a year now, with a 450W System power 7. And this hail mary worked for some reason. I'm sort of confused and also pissed since I wasted so much time on troubleshooting and cannot fathom why the vega only accepts my crappy 10 year old PSU. I'm also not entirely sure whether I can now be certain that the GPU is fine since I've been planning to sell it if I got it to work. Any input is appreciated, the card has been running Doom Eternal/Forza Horizon in 4k without issues for multiple hours now. Pictured below: the GPU in question and the AMD Software while Doom is running. Greetings from Germany, Kevin
