it might be a bit too big for ye old dishwasher

changing back to my old samsung 60hz 4k non Gsync monitor has a better chance of giving me a image, but it was on that monitor the issue first came to be, either the PC boots and gives me post screen immidietly or nothing happens and the light stays on.

yea, thats what i thought, but changing the whole PC around the GPU fixed it, so it seems like an oddball problem if it were the case, and why would reseating a RAM stick (any doesnt matter wich one i pick) fixes it temporarily

so, i've had issues for a while with my PC booting but not giving me any image, VGA light is on and the only way to fix it is to power off, flip off the switch, take out a ramstick, and put it right back in where it was. this solves the issue for 1-3 days at most usually. i've ran memtest, intels CPU diagnostic, i've checked all the disks, ive ran all stresstests imaginable, OCCT furball aida64 etc etc. i updated the DP drivers for my GPU and that fixed it for some time (2-3 weeks), i've already RMAd the entire PC (except the GPU) once, that also fixed it for a few months but it came back

i took a fresh dishcloth (one of those weird foam ones that are stiff as a board until they get wet) and some multiclean kitchen cleaner and swabbed away, seemed to have worked.

i've got a fulldesk mousepad, its been unmoved for atleast 4 years and its getting a bit sticky/grimy, is there any good way to deepclean it without moving all my speakers PC monitor etc etc? could soaking it and vacuuming it work?

oh yea, i should mention that i've done that, i've ran intels CPU test, aida64, OCCT, furball etc, no issues with crashes, volmgr161 only happens in certain games and usually on youtube, even if i reseat the ram in the same slots the issue goes away, its weird

so, i've had an issue with my PC for a while, getting event ID 161 volmgr alot, i replaced my old PSU and it seemed to fix the issues, then 2 months later it started happening again, i then moved my ram from A1 B1 to A2 B2, and it worked great for another 2 months, now i need to swap them back and forth every 2-3 days otherwise my PC wont actually give me a post screen, the PC posts, it goes to windows but it just doesnt give me videofeed and the white VGA lamp is lit up on the MB (z390-f Gaming strix), i tried flashing bios, thought that would help but alas it did not, also, when i switch the

yea thing is, everything except the PSU and HDDs are new, this issue occured and i replaced the new stuff, it went away and now its back

i tried OCCT, no issues, Memtest86 0 errors, Intel CPU diagnostics, full pass, furball no issues, playing WoW i crash withing 5 minutes of high load content, but not if i play at 1080p low settings. edit: also aida64 no issues

it still crashes under load, but i cant recreate it with stresstests, only games, a friend of mine told me my CPU was getting fucked with its powerdraw right before crashes, i cant read these things though eventview.evtx

i didnt have this issue until i reset my bios settings to optimized defaults to try and make my system more stable (cuz it crashes with error id 161 under gameplay heavy load)

860w

one of my fans only lights up in like 1/100 boots, the GPU doesnt seem to get power fast enough to give me a bootscreen before my MB gives out the VGA error for no display output (although the screen will turn on 20 sec after i hit windows log in screen. spec i-9900k asus rog z390-f Gaming Samsung pro 970 nvme 2x wd 1tb drives (6 years old) g.skill 2x8 3600mhz trident z 1080ti ROG strix Corsair AX860i (6 years old) CM masterliquid ML360R with 3x corsair LL120 RBGs 2 x Corsair LL120 RBGs case fans

so 2 years back i bought a new PC in parts except a new powersupply and E and D drive, i started getting event id 161 so i replaced all the new parts and the error went away, now it has started happening again, can this error be caused by my PSU not being able to supply the correct power? i tried gaming with everything set to 1080p Low instead of 4k high/ultra and that seems to work fine, havent had a single crash since yesterday, usually i crash atleast every 5 minutes almost (as long as its high load content spec i-9900k asus rog z390-f Gaming Samsung pro 970 nvme 2x wd 1tb

lowering my graphics down from 4k ultra to 1080p low makes me able to play, so its a power issue.

so, a while back i replaced every part of my PC (spare the E and D drive and PSU) after i started getting this error and crashing into boot every few minutes, now it has started happening again with the new parts. is this possibly caused by my old PSU? i bought it like 6 years ago.

the only constant in my build has been the PSU, but replacing all the other components fixed it for several months then it came back now

prior to the crash that happened now was me playing WoW standing around in a raid doing nothing, waiting to start we start, 20 seconds in freeze and error 161 crashed into reboot

everything is default in bios except XMP wich i turned on to check, didnt make a difference

alright, now its progressed to actually crashing my PC, Event id 161 Volmgr "Dump file creation failed due to error during dump creation." same issue i had before i replaced all components...

CPU stays at 45°C at all times, running at 4700 mhz constant

memtest came back with 0 errors.

it crashed now, seems to be during specific content in games or smth

it did yes, havent had a crash since, but thats "normal" sometimes it lasts days sometimes 2 minutes
