So first of all i'd consider my self a kind off tech savy guy but this one is just beyond me. It started some days ago when i got kind off anoyed that some webistes werent loading as they should, you know they didnt download some of the textures and the websites looked like cached versions of the original websites. This usually got fixed after i refreshed the page so i though nothing more of it, but at some point i realized that downloads got interupted aswell not only in chrome but in microsoft edge aswell when i tested downloading it from there. I started fiddling with some settings and doing the occasional google search that makes you semi paranoid and tried deleting cookies etc. when i got recommended to look into my firewall settings. Now heres when i started to get knd of worried but mostly confused, i realized that I had an old trial version of Bitdefender handling my firewall, a trial version that must have been expired for many months at this point since i thought i'd got rid of it and i was running Kaspersky instead. So when i tried to access Bitdefender i couldnt get into the setting of it or anything it just said that i needed to upgrade to premium status, well ok lets just uninstall it through the uninstaller section in windows... yeah right, just says uninstalling... and leaves it there forever and sometimes it just says that there are no uninstaller installed. Ok lets go to Bitdefenders uninstaller section on their website and download the uninstaller. Not so easy after all since something is blocking downloads on google chrome. Malware bytes isnt showing anything wierd neither does kaspersky when bitdefender alows it to run every now and then. Im like kind of lost for words at this point and on the brink of defragging the harddrives on this computer and just try to start over but im not going down without a fight... yet atleast. Please the gods of LTT forums, please shine your light on this clusterf**k of a sittuation. Edit: For some reason files that are getting downloaded are now saying network error which is total bull shit and now even google searches is getting blocked with kind regards/ Eric

Build:MSI MPG Z390 PRO GAMING CARBON AC(MOB),MSI RTX 2060 GAMING 6G,HYPER X PREDATOR 2x8gb 3200mhz,I7-8700(non-k). So My pc was built by my brother and dad since the kinda knew what they were doing and after about 1 and a half day the pc was built since we faced some problems but we figured it out. The problem i was facing i faced a couple months back. So basically my pc would not boot with 2 sticks of ram.When the ram was on the second slot it worked, but when i tried to put my other ram in the fourth slot it kept doing what i said in the title,meaning that the pc was recognizing the CPU but when it went to the ram, idk it refused? So we got a friend of ours and he helped us fix it. First of all no, the ram isnt damaged, we tried both of them in the second slot, and they worked, but when it came to the fourth slot, it just didnt wanna work. The way we fixed it was by removing the CMOS battery and then just trying with one ram and we saw that it booted up.YAY! Then we tweeked with cmos removing it and putting it back and then somehow the 4th slot worked. Now fast forward a couple of months to about a month ago from this post. I Booted up my pc and fans we're at max speed and when i went to the dragon center i saw that my CPU was at 100*C... At 10% usage. I checked on google and it probably was my cooler,(Cooler Master Masterliquid 240R RGB), So me and my brother remove the cooler and we saw how much the cooler had leaked, btw i didnt touch any components because it condensated quickly and because of the cooper it was covered in green stuff (Copper oxidized becomes green). We only removed the cooler and added the intel stock cooler, didnt touch anything else, and then it didnt boot because we faced the same problem we faced a couple months back. We removed The cmos, tried everything like our friend did, but nope, the 4th slot just doesnt want to work, So now im stuck with 8gb of ram, and being the gamer like i am its effecting my gameplay. If anyone can help me please do because ive looked everywhere about whats causing this but i couldn't find anything

Hi everyone, I was playing GTA 5 and noticed I had lower performance than the benchmark video's I've seen with the same specs as me (system specs bottom of post) So I ultimately decided to start up RivaTuner and do some benchmarking to see if my expectations were wrong or if something wasn't right. after my benchmarking I got an average of 52 fps with all medium settings (benchmarks got near 90 on high/very high) and my gpu was at around 40% and cpu everywhere from 20% to 50%. I couldn't figure it out after 2 weeks so I gave up. but when I was playing again I opened Xbox gamebar and I saw that it said my gpu was at 84% and my cpu at about the same as RivaTuner said. I did some searching and couldn't find anyone with the same problem. and I'm not sure which one to believe... gamebar or good ol' RivaTuner, and what could be causing this? I hope someone here has an awnser. thank you for you time, LTTdropTips. specs: ryzen 5 1600af oc 3.7ghz stock cooler 1650 super oc (oc in images) 90% trusted according to msi overclock scanner 16gb evo spear 3200hz (2x8) asrock b450m pro4 samsung 860 evo 500gb ssd + external ssd adata sd600q 480gb (gta is on samsung) evga 450br 80+ bronze 2x mf120 HALO fans windows 10 home (version 2004) variable refreshrate on hardware accelerated GPU scheduling on if you need any more information feel free to ask.
