I apologize if you've seen this answer in google searches, but is the second pc downloading anything? Try pinging google on the second pc and see what the ping is. If its still high with your main pc off, then its something with the second pc.

I forget the exact model but I know its an Evga 500w bronze. I have driver 457.30 from November 9th. And no I've never overclocked anything

Yes, they are all normal

Whenever I am doing menial tasks on my pc, like watching YouTube, listening to music, or anything that doesn't require much power, my pc will sometimes freeze. Somedays it does it 3 times, and some days not at all. I suspect its my 970 because what happens is the screen freezes, but audio is still playing, and I can even pause the video with the spacebar like normal. After it freezes it doesn't bluescreen, but just restarts. So could my card be the issue?

Ok that's good to know. I don't care too much about that chat, but maybe if fp eventually has a stream archive then I would get it. I guess for now I got to stay up until 1 am in hope of catching it and recording it for myself.

I loved to watch Linus play beat saber on twitch, but now because of their new policy, there cant be videos of it. I would get floatplane if I knew he did

I booted up my pc today to a black screen. I restarted it with the power button, then when windows was launching this showed. What does it mean?

I'm having a similar issue but with older hardware. What drivers should I try to update? The device manager shows nothing is out of date

I ran the sfc scanner and it found and repaired files. Whether they were the files that are causing issues idk. I checked my drives health and everything is good. I'll let you know in a a few days if it worked or now. Thanks for helping.

Its random. Doesn't matter what I doing at the time. I couldn't pinpoint an exact update. I think it started around mid march, but it happened so infrequently that I never gave much thought about it and just thought something updated

Unfortunately not. This was my first pc build so I have very little spare parts. One thing to mention is about a year after I finished building, my old ram started to fail. I had corsair ram of the same spec and it cause similar issues, except those were full bluescreens and errors came up in mem tests. I wouldn't think it would be the same thing because I replaced them with gskill.

Yes gaming is still amazing. I could play HLA at a smooth 80 fps, minecraft with seus shaders, gta 5 etc, and it never restarts during those times. For temps I use nzxt cam because thats the case I have. In cpu z what should I look for with voltages to see if somethings wrong?

It's definitely not an overclock issue because my cpu doesn't have that capability. If it is hardware degradation what part could it be? I ran a memory test in windows 10 and it came up clean, and I can still play games like I could 4 years ago. Then with my psu, would that be overheating? Or is it failing? Its a bronze evga 500w from 2016.

For a few month this has been going on. At first it did very rarely, then it got to once a week, then once a day, and now sometimes when I first turn it on. I can be doing something, like watching a video, then the video freezes for a second, black screen, then it reboots. Then when logging on it takes a bit longer than usual. I'm assuming this some kind of hardware issue. My specs are i5 6500, Asus 970, 16gb ddr3, and os on a samsung 850 evo. What could be causing this or where can I look to see what's making it do this?
