Back in October, I bought a used RTX 3080 from ebay. I installed it with no issues and it has been working as expected for the past 5 months. A few weeks ago, artifacts starting appearing and sometimes my game would crash. Last week, the computer won't even post when the GPU is installed. Strangely, when I took my motherboard out of my case and set it up test bench style, the GPU was perfectly fine. Once I put it back in the case, it won't post. The GPU is still receiving power because the fans are spinning, and it sometimes posts, but then crashes after five minutes. I took out the graphics card and tried using the iGPU and it worked perfectly. But, when I put the GPU back in, it won't post, even though I set the BIOS to use the iGPU. Is my GPU dead? Before the crashing started, my CPU and GPU temps were in line, 90 and 70 degrees Celsius respectively. What I have already tried: Reseating the GPU. Reseating the RAM.

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.

I don't know exactly how it happened but i installed new drivers and new OS on a computer and then after installing the driver for the gpu (gtx 650), it turned off, and I thought it was fine cos everytime you install a new driver for your gpu it turns off quick and then turns back on, but the monitor didnt turn on again but the fans were still spinning. I shut it down and when I turned it back on it displayed an error "Power supply surges detected during the previous power on. Asus Anti-Surge was triggered to protect system from unstable power supply. And then i searched youtube how to fix this and saw a video where a guy turned off the Anti-Surge mechanism and followed it which was REALLY stupid. I think that might have been the cause or something. I think the motherboard short circuited or do you guys have any opinions or guesses as to why this happened? Can this be fixed or there's no chance for this to be fixed? PS. Every components I used were really old except the SSD. Would appreciate if you guys share your opinions on this

I will start by saying this- I already figured out that it's a hardware issue of some sort. Very unique issue. Okay after weeks of testing- memory tests showed no errors, everything passed before and even after I got a whole new set of RAM. Graphics card tested hardcore for 16 hours, no problems. Checked both my SSD cards, no errors. Cooling system is normal, no signs of overheating and no signs of the computer overclocking. ISSUE: My husband and I have identical setup, really the only difference between our setups is the cooling system I think. He has had his set up for about 6 months I believe until we had a really bad storm that knocked out power TWICE before we could get home fast enough to save our custom pcs. His WoW and Destiny keeps crashing with the error 132 and (I think its called centipede in Destiny). Now we did notice when the plugged the computer back in to power it on it actually did take a while to boot back up but afterwards it wasn't really showing any signs of something being wrong. After about maybe 2 weeks after the storm that's when the crashes started happening. His WoW would freeze for 2 or 4 seconds before crashing with the 132 error anywhere from 20 mins to an hour later. There are times where he could maybe game for 4 hours, sometimes 1 hour. (No bluescreens the whole time btw) A friend recommended swapping the psu before doing anything drastic like ordering and swapping the motherboard and basically rebuilding the whole build....this actually did show improvement. we were able to game for almost 8 hours before it sadly crashed again. After seeing this I thought to get a new surge protector for his computer and after that my next move was going to swap all the cables connected to the psu. It's a weird problem because its only showing a memory issue yet everything memory related was showing it was fine but the psu swap showed improvement.... I'm at a loss honestly and I really don't want to swap the motherboard. I just want to play with my husband again please help if any ideas.

I've reset my pc to factory default and downloaded basic things and also overclocked my CPU but on Valorant my GPU will get to 60% maxing everything out and when not maxing it, this goes to 20% and my cpu stays at 40%, so I don't think its a bottleneck and games like Minecraft should be easy to have a bunch a fps and this isn't the case.

Please help!! specs: Ryzen 5 3600 AMD Radeon rx 5500xt corsair cv550 psu B450 aorus elite v2 team group gx2 512gb ssd corsair vengeance 3600mhz16gb ram My pc used to work perfectly fine before I had a problem where it would restart everytime I would login, I then reinstalled windows onto it and it worked fine, I left it on a clean install of windows for around 5 minutes while I took out the trash and came back to it showing a black screen, mnk were both off yet the pc was on, it wasnt in sleep mode either, I attempted to restart it multiple times and nothing worked, I assumed it was the motherboard and shipped it in with the RMA process. I just got it back and the pc wont post, sometimes it will boot into bios and it will say that the bios has been updated and reset and everytime I press “ok” my screen goes black and mnk both turn off, my motherboard then shows a red led on dram.

Hello everyone, As the title suggests, my now 20 month old RTX 2060 Mobile decided that it was time to slow itself down. My GPU core clock has been stuck at 300MHz for about a month now and the issue started when I did a near full software upgrade for my HP Omen 15-dc1030nr laptop. (S/N: 5CD9193WS3) I updated the BIOS and the VBIOS using the utilities provided by HP's driver website and also downloaded and installed the newly released 461.09 GPU driver from NVIDIA GeForce Experience. Now, I do not think that any of these factors actually contributed to the problem but I think it would be a good idea to share what happened before the issue started. Anyway, after updating the system, I rebooted, as usual, and launched Rocket League to have a nice gaming session with my friends. The thing is, the framerate was damn near locked to 25 at the lowest settings and the input lag rendered the game completely unplayable. So I decided to reinstall Windows multiple times, each time using a different BIOS and graphics driver version and I even experimented with supported VBIOSes from the VGA BIOS Collection site. None of them made a noticeable difference to gaming performance. After that, I decided that the task at hand was bigger than I could handle, so I took the laptop to UBreakIFix, which HP Support said worked with them. After a week and a half of probing the motherboard and trying different driver revisions and BIOS versions, they too weren't able to find a single thing wrong with the board. They just told me to wait until NVIDIA or HP released a patch to fix it. NVIDIA released 2 hotfixes and a major revision but the problem still persists. So I decided to do some digging and found out that, even at idle with absolutely nothing running, the board power sensor for the GPU was reporting upwards of 280W. (image below, disregard the temps, I unplugged the fans to prove that nothing except that sensor reading matters to the core clock.) Which is quite odd since the RTX 2060 in here is only a 90W card, and even weirder is the fact that the power sensor in the GPU die is reporting 5W at idle and 18W at full load. After seeing that, I decided to disassemble my laptop and see the possible failure points. I found this: 6 VRM stages and right next to those, the MPS1910/MP2886A PMIC (image below, link to chip: MP2886A). Am I right to have the suspicion that this chip is the one reporting the wrong values? If not, what do I need to do to repair the fault for as cheap as possible? HP and UBreakIFix told me that the only way to fix it would be to replace the whole motherboard which costs $534 (The number they gave me when I asked HP for a quote. UBreakIFix told me it was a reasonable price and that it wouldn't get much cheaper than that even with used parts.) One thing that I think is important to mention is that I used the laptop without a battery for a few weeks before the issue started and HP confirmed that the battery assists the PSU while under load (which, apparently, is why they swell so much, this was the reason I took it out in the first place.) That might have done some damage to the PMIC beforehand. In conclusion, there is absolutely nothing left on the software side that I can test or change, but I am very willing to shell out a few tens of bucks for replacement parts to get this problem sorted, since this is unfortunately the only rig I have. Any help would be very much appreciated. (Sorry for the really long read, I don't know how else to describe the things I experienced.) P.S: some extra weird stuff that I think is worth mentioning: the sensor reported board power draw randomly dropped to 110W after I flashed this VBIOS: HP RTX 2060 Mobile 6 GB I thought I could now go back to the stock VBIOS provided by HP on their driver website since most of the problem seemed to be gone, but nope, the reading shot back up to ~280W and I have not been able to get that number down ever since. This problem persists both on battery (the reading drops to 230W on battery which is still way too much but the die power draw remains at 5W at idle and 18W at full load.) and on AC power but I do not think this is a power supply problem since the output voltage on the DC jack has always been the same: 19.5-20.0V (results from internal power sensor, confirmed with a multimeter test.)

Heya, I recently build my own PC with this specs: Ryzen 5 3600 with boxed cooler 2x8GB HyperX DDR4 Memory 3200mhz MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon Max WiFi AMD Radeon 5700XT 50'th Anniversary 500w BeQuiet Pure Power 11 After swapping the cooler to an MSI Codeliquid 240R the Mainboard told me that my CPU is broken (red light on EZ Debug LED), and it wasn't Posting. I replaced the CPU with a new R5 3600 and the red light on CPU was gone. Unfortunately its saying that the GPU was bad now (Red light on GPU and Beep Code 1x Long 2x Short). I also tested my old GPU (Palit GTX960 4GB) and had the same error. Both GPUs are working fine on my old System (gigabyte ga-z170x-gaming 3, i7 6700k, 750w cooler master PSU). Swapped the Mainboard (replace via retailer) and had the same error again. I did a refund on the MSI B450 Board and got my hands on a B550 Aorus Elite AX V2 which got the same error again (Beep Code: 1x Long, 3x Short). Swapped out the RAM and PSU from my old System, still not Posting. I cleared CMOS several times and flashed BIOS to the newest (on all 3 Boards). I hope that one of you guys can help me out because I swapped out everything possible with no success. Will also test a friend's Ryzen 7 2700x and RTX 2070 Super tomorrow.

Pc Specs: HP-Pavilion 23-B034 AIO pc, 6GB DDR3 RAM, Original O.S Windows 8, Current O.S Windows 10 x64 ver 20H2 I'm trying to fix a computer for grandparents and noticed that the current AMD APU is fried and causing screen tears. I checked the specifications for this system and made sure that the APU was able to be upgraded at least. Heres the link for the pre-built all in one system https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03518188 the original APU is a FM2 socket AMD Trinity dual core A6-5400K that was having display issues. I went and bought a AMD Trinity quad-core A8-5600k and installed it on the board. Mind you its a FM2 socket as well. Now it says that it isn't compatible at all with this motherboard https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03428780 and will force a shutdown before I can do anything. I did try to do a BIOS update because I did get it to boot up to Windows with the APU installed. While it was booted up, I checked the temperatures, installed the drivers, checked to see if everything was running like normal before I did the BIOS update. I did notice that the screen stopped tearing after the driver was installed and working. What I want to know is why this A8-5600k works but the board refuses to think that it isn't compatible? If i got it to boot up normally and everything was working showing like it is supposed to, why does it still say that the APU is not compatible and force shut down after restarting system?

Hey everyone! I posted this on Reddit, too, but I figured I'd share it here too to increase my chance of getting to the bottom of this problem! Sorry, but this is going to be a long post! My rig: - CPU: AMD Ryzen 3700x (stock cooler, Amazon warehouse) - MOBO: Asus B550 Tuf Gaming (now Asus X570-F Strix) - GPU: Gigabyte RTX 2080 windforce (used, 2 years old) - PSU: Corsair TX650M (Amazon warehouse) - RAM: Crucial Ballistix 2x16 GB 3600MHz RGB - SSD: NVMe M.2 Sabrent Rocket 500 GB (PCIe 3.0) - HDD: Maxtor 2 TB portable hard drive (opened and connected as internal) - CASE: Corsair 275R This was built on October last year, although I got the 2080 on January 2021, but it has been working fine ever since. Here's the issue: my PC randomly rebooted (as if I pressed the physical reboot button) but didn't POST, it got stuck with the DRAM LED on. This happened once already, all it took was turning off and on the PSU but this time it didn't work. Not only that, sometimes after rebooting the PC got stuck on either DRAM, CPU or VGA, although only rarely on CPU. So, I tried the usual troubleshooting with the old motherboard: - Resetting CMOS - Reseating CMOS battery - Flashing BIOS update through EzFlash Utility - Reseating CPU - Changing GPU (I had an old R7770 by XFX laying around) - Unplugging HDD - Reseating RAM On this matter, when I tried one stick on B2 slot (which should have priority among the four) the PC started boot looping, i.e. getting all the way to VGA LED and immediately going back to DRAM as if I pressed the physical reboot button, then repeating indefinitely. Any stick on B2 slot had this effect, while any stick on A2 (the other priority slot) just made the PC stuck on any POST step as described before. I thought that this could have been a motherboard tracing issue, so I bought a new board (X570-F Strix) and rebuilt my PC, only to encounter the same issue. The thing is, this time it's A2 that is causing the boot loop, and not only that, this time I tried a single stick of RAM in any slot and it looks like A1 is doing the same as A2 while B1 and B2 are "fine" (still no POST, but it's better than boot looping I guess). I can't figure out the schematics, but as far as I know RAM slots are connected 2 by 2 to the CPU, so could this mean that I have a faulty CPU? I just hope that whatever started the issue didn't propagate it to the other components, or this will be impossible to solve. I'll try a different stick of RAM that I'll be borrowing from a friend of mine just to make sure it's not that, I'll keep you posted. Thank you in advance!

So for the past few weeks I have been having terrible input lag while gaming. The problem started a few days or so after installing my old GPU into my new PC. Before that, using just the igpu, it was fine. Then, it started to lag whenever I played any video game. But regular use didn't affect it. I have tried 2 keyboards, 2 gpus (the old one and a new 3060), and every USB port on my computer and nothing worked. I tried reinstalling the drivers and running troubleshooting stuff and nothing helped. When there is lag, it isn't constant. It will come and go. Sometimes it will be a few button presses, other times it will be 15 seconds delayed and have multiple keystrokes register well after I have already pressed it. Either way, it makes games unplayable because I can't control my character. I have googled my issues and tried to ask for help but have found nothing. What do I do? I need help. Thanks! Specs: 12700k, 3060 (upgraded from an rx570 8gb), 32 gb ram. Latest drivers for everything. Keyboard is a Razer Blackwidow TE Chroma v2 and a dell keyboard. Glorious model d mouse. I think that should be everything important.

Hello, :> so, recently, well not recently actually about 3 months ago, the microphone of my galaxy s5 stopped working. As in, there was no sound at all and when i recorded something and then shook the phone the microphone would work for 1 or 2 seconds and make plugging in and out noises in the recording. So clearly, that is a hardware problem, probably something like a loose contact. I figured my mic was broken. I sent it to the repair, and after a month they told me that i have no guarantee on the phone (because i rooted it, as stupid as i am) and that i'll need to pay 211 €. I of course refused. After sending it for 2 weeks to another repair shop they told me that they'd have to open the phone and that they don't wanna do that. Here comes the real problem: I then decided to do it myself. I took a hair blower, bought adhesive strips and a replacement of the charging port flex. Opened the phone, screwed up the screen, so that is was transparent at the bottom, replaced the charging port flex (with the mic on it). I bought a new screen, put it on there, the end. Microphone worked. Then one day i woke up i accedently dropped my phone and after that the mic didn't work anymore. So i replaced the flex again, but didn't screw up the screen, and then it didn't work again! Then i made it fall from the stairs, after it landed i noticed the mic was working again, now it doesn't. When i shake it, it still works temporarily but only as long as i shake it. So, here is definetly something else but the mic wrong. And i don't know what to do so... halp?

So, yesterday I bought an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB (G1 Gaming OC Edition from GIGABYTE). It seemed like the perfect budget card for my needs. I live in a very small country near the Adriatic, and actually functional computer hardware seems to be quite uncommon, even if it's supposed to be brand-spanking new. Before this card I had an AMD Radeon R9 270X 2GB (Asus DirectCUII Edition). That card worked just fine. I used DDU to remove all AMD Crimson drivers and installed all the latest Nvidia drivers from their site... At first, everything seemed to be working normally until a couple hours after I got it, when pretty much ANY game I tried to play would crash to desktop almost instantly (in some rare cases the game could run for 5-10 mins before crashing.) Even at the lowest possible settings, Battlegrounds, Rainbow Six, Need for Speed, etc. would barely run for 5-10 mins with FPS counts that even any older potato could replicate. As you can imagine, it was incredibly unstable. And keep in mind that this card should be able to play all of these titles at high-ultra settings at 60 fps at the least. The only games it could run normally were much less demanding titles like Garry's Mod, CS:GO, and ArmA 3 at medium works for some reason. Could it be some kind of overheating issue? All I have for cooling is the CPU fan and GPU fans. And it is the summer time. I reinstalled ALL the drivers 2-3 times to no success. I switched wires around, checked other components to see if they were interfering in some way, changed settings in GIGABYTE Xtreme and BIOS, cleaned the entire PC of dust, NOTHING. My PSU can definitely handle it, I know that for a fact. Another thing to mention is that I did in fact see a bunch of black pixels and artifacts from time to time, which leads me to believe that this is just a bad card, a dud. I have no other options than just getting it replaced. I saw some other posts on the forums where people were saying there could be a motherboard issue which would just be devastating for me because I can't afford a new one at this time. Here are my system specs, and I really hope someone from the community has an answer:Motherboard: Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0;CPU: AMD FX-8320 (8-Core);CPU Fan: CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO;GPU: GIGABYTE Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB (G1 Gaming Edition);RAM: 8GB DDR3 HyperX Beast (2x 4GB - DUAL CHANNEL);PSU: ThermalTake 450W;HDD: Western-Digital Caviar Green 1TB;Case: LOGIC Cooling Master Mid-Tower

System Specs: Custom Build OS – Windows 10, Ubuntu 16.10 – Dual Boot x64 bit Age – Aprox 7 years old CPU – Intel i5 4670k GPU – Radeon R9 280x MB – GIGABYTE Z87X-UD3H PSU(OLD) – CORSAIR TX 550X PSU – CORSAIR RM 650X Hello good people. I’ve come to you for help in saving an old computer. Back story: From the start, the computer always ran just fine, except for an occasional blue screen. I started noticing some weird power behavior not too long ago, where, sometimes turning off the machine would result in it automatically turning back on again. Not a big deal. And then I started getting these strange crashes with a grey screen and vertical lines. I never managed to figure out why, and I didn’t pay them too much attention as they would only happen ever so often. About 4 months ago, my PC randomly switched off, without any reason at all. In fact at the time I was merely browsing the web. Naturally I thought it was my PSU gone bad, so I just replaced it ( see system specs ) After that everything seemed to be running appropriately again. At least for a while… I started getting the vertical line crashes again, this time more frequently, I lowered the clock speeds on my GPU and that seemed to minimize the issue. Also suddenly my secondary monitor started jumping and twitching like an epileptic. Weirdly enough, I could fix this by reinstalling the GPU drivers each time I booted up the machine. But that wasn’t the end of it, just until about a week ago, my pc started randomly shutting off again. This increased in frequency until yesterday, where I was playing a game and it turned off again. Only this time it wouldn’t turn on again. What’s strange to me though, is that some times It will turn on and immediately turn back off again. But other times it will turn on completely and won’t boot, I get a b2 error code ( or 62 not sure ) So my general thought is that I need to replace my rig. But maybe there’s still some hope for it? Any thoughts?

Hi guys, Posting here for lack of help elsewhere on the internet. My windows10 machine is having random and severe lag spikes that make it near unusable at times. This happens 1-5 times daily, it will occur randomly with no set actions leading up to the problem. Description: - Every single windows process will slow down to a fraction of its speed, almost like watching in stop motion. - File explorer, chrome, start window (ANYTHING) will play back at about 1fps and be nearly impossible to use - The only fix is to restart my PC, or to switch off, leave it for a while and then turn back on. (see video below for reference, this shows my file explorer, this is not a laggy video, that is the actual speed that my mouse moves at and it runs at) One other important point is this often results during editing in Premiere Pro. Not one particular action or amount of time triggers it, but it will randomly happen after I have been using PremierePro for an amount of time. Sometimes it comes off the back off a random premiere pro crash, but othertimes it happens while premiere is still running. PC Specs: Dell XPS 9560 i7 16gb RAM {NEW} Samsung 970 Evo 2tb SSD Any help majorly appreciated. 2020-02-03 11-19-38.mkv

To start, here are my specs: CPU: Ryzen 5 2600 MOBO: ASRock B450 Pro4 RAM: Crucial Sport LT 16GB DDR4 Graphics Card: MSI GTX 970 PSU: EVGA 80+ Certified 430W Storage: Intel 660p M.2 SSD I have a very weird issue with a PC I just built. I put together the PC and was able to install Windows 10. Windows 10 then successfully booted, but after a few seconds of running, the PC crashed. I've had this same problem with another PC I built in the past, but the only component I am using from the old PC is the GPU. Some more info: After the PC crashes, it will turn back on (lights and all) but it won't display anything. The fans on the CPU rev and derev in a sort of 2 second cycle. Very weird. The PC won't crash when in the BIOS Things I have already tried: Moving the SSD to a different M.2 slot Reapplying thermal paste to the CPU Stress testing the GPU in another system (it didn't crash) Using a different GPU Using different RAM Using a different SSD Using a hard drive instead Using three different power supplies (all with enough headroom Wattage-wise) Reinstalling Windows 10 (four different times, now) Using different RAM slots Based on the list up there, the issue can't be: The GPU, because I stressed tested it in another system, and I tried using a different GPU in the system. The SSD, because I tried using a different SSD and tried using a hard drive as well The RAM, because I tried using different RAM (and I tested my own in another system) The PSU, because I have used three different power supplies, and I've had the same issues across the board Overheating, I have a fresh coat of thermal paste on the CPU and monitored it's temperature in the BIOS (39C maximum so far) Incorrect RAM slot, because for one: it actually starts up, and for two: I tried every slot on the board What it might be: CPU MOBO This is a very weird problem, and I don't know how to fix it. I ordered a new motherboard and it will be here tomorrow. Any ideas?

Hi, I recently bought a optiplex 7010 recently and I cannot for the life of me get it to open to put my new parts in. To be precise it is a model d05d and when I try to lift the latch it just resists like it's bolted on. I'm new to pc gaming so I really need some help. Has anyone had a problem like this, is this normal?

Hello All! I have been having issues with my PC crashing (separate issue) and last night it crashed and now Windows doesn't detect my left monitor anymore. I have tried swapping DP cables, changing DP ports (the port works fine on the other monitors), and using a different PC. The monitor shows no input but in Windows 10 Display settings it sees a device, albeit much smaller than what it should be. The monitor in question is a Samsung 1444p QLED Curved Gaming Monitor. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? This did happen before the Windows 10 2004 Feature update, so I do not believe that is the culprit. I searched the internet but didn't find anything as of yet.

Hi LTT community. i tried reddit with my issue an no luck. . I have the GTX1060 6gb gpu and while playing games it sometimes flickers for like a split second where my screen goes black for like a split second and returns. I have tried a different monitor to isolate the problem. *I have the latest drivers installed from Nvidia (no beta version or whatever) *My system hasn't been overclocked or anything of that sort. *I have all options for power set to (maximum performance*) on both windows and Nvidia. *For what I've seen is that this only happens during playing League of Legends. LoL played for 1 hour- 2or3 times the screen goes black for a split second and returns.I also played overwatch for 30-45 min. no flicker . and GTA V for 30 min. no flicker. *i did change the cables (this is a new pc build) https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gBGT8K

Clearly like the title says i've a micro second freezes 0.5 to 1 second in all video games no matter if game old or new (even old 2D games like tibia freezes).. and i mean by freeze is the whole pc stops for a millisecond and sometimes up to 1 second and continue like normal (this happens so random and frequently) even the pc is brand new, i noticed this freezes only in video games but in anything else i never noticed it, and it happens only in actual gameplay, like if i ran the game and playing with the menu and settings nothing would happen but only in actual gameplay and it happens much!

about two weeks ago my editing pc (that i used for gaming on the side) it started to become more and more unstable running the default clock settings and kept telling me when i booted up that overclocking has failed (i was able to fix this by updating my bios). then i had a issue where my pc would freeze after 30 mins to a hour into a session and would need to be forcibly restarted on a few occasions i had BSOD's which involved a whea_unccorrectable error and a bunch of machine check exception's (i was also able to fix this by updating a audio driver....or so i thought). now i'm still getting whea_unccorrectable error's and my computer restarts randomly. throughout this entire kerfuffle i've been checking my event logs and was unable to find any clues to the causes of my errors. most solutions i had tried were last ditch attempts that i saw worked for people on some tech forums.these are my pc specs: windows 8.1Intel i7-5820K Extreme Hex Core CPU Processor (3.30GHz, 15MB Cache, 140W, Socket 2011-V3, 28 Lanes PCI Express Generation 3)Asus X99-S ATX Motherboard (5x PCI Express 3.0, DDR4 Quad Channel, Socket 2011)HyperX FURY 32 GB DDR4 2666 MHz Gigabyte NVIDIA GTX 980 4GB DDR5 PCI Express Graphics CardSamsung 850 EVO 500 GB 2.5 inch Solid State DriveCorsair (CW-9060017-WW) Hydro Series H80i GT 120mm High Performance All-In-One Liquid CPU Cooler(i'm just adding the liquid cooler incase it helps at all)i am thinking of taking it to a hardware shop and getting more professional eyes to take a look at it.any help will be much appreciated!!!

Hello, Recently I started experiencing these issues with my old PC... when it is booting up I get stuck at Sometimes it goes through and gets stuck here Usually I would reset it couple of times and it would work fine, but I am interested in knowing what is causing this?

Hello everyone, I really need some help with my PC. I built it roughly a year and a half ago and last week I started to get a problem. Basically what's happening is when it gets a spike in usage it fails. When it fails I have to remove all power from the PC to get it to turn back on such as pulling the power cable or flipping the switch on the power supply. At first it only started when I would boot up a game(Steam and others). Now it will shut down whenever I do anything that requires a little bit of power(like a non-graphically intensive kongregate game). I have managed to view the event viewer but the only thing it tells me is that it experience an unexpected shut down. I've tried reinstalling the graphics cards drivers and re-seating them. I've also tried to refresh the OS but now I can't get it to finish the refreshing process. I also don't know why this problem is occurring the only Windows update I did about a week ago was some windows defender nonsense. I'll post my spec's below... I think it's a hardware problem I just don't know where or how to start. Thank you for any help!

I recently upgraded my motherboard and cpu. At first everything is peachy but then I realize my GTX 970 is making a new buzzing noise when under load. It sounds like some kind of electrical buzzing noise which has a rather low pitch compare to coil whine. More worryingly, it seems to get louder if the gpu is under high load. Any idea what it might be? I am kind of hopping I don't need to get myself a fire extinguisher... I am quite certain that it is not the fan cause I use my fan controller to ramp up the fan to max without stressing the card, and the buzzing noise did not occur.
