Hey Guys, 

 

My system is a: 

Ryzen 2600x

Asus B450F

32gb 3000mhz Trident Z

Gigabyte Windforce 980ti (shes an old girl)

Seasonic 750 prime Ti

Corsair H150i pro

Intel 760p 512gb Game drive

Samsung 860evo boot drive

 

There are multiple things the computer has done and they lead me to suspicion of either the install of windows or the hardware. About 4-5 months ago, when playing CSGO, I would experience weird crashes, where the frames would drop suddenly and then the screen would be frozen, I could not access task manager to close CS, nor could I exit the game, therefore requiring me to hold my power button for a force shutdown. 

That problem seemed to stop, I have had antivirus on my pc forever and I don't feel that I have a virus, I run regular scans and watch what I download. 

Now, my new problem is weird boots. Sometimes, when I turn on and the Asus boot screen pops up, everything is fine, the Windows dot loading circle spins for a few seconds, then freezes. Other times, I boot my pc and there is just no signal at all. Whats weird is that most of the time my pc works fine, other times it just doesn't boot. 

 

My question is complex, but what I am asking is if something hardware related is failing (all memory is recognized and running at 3000mhz) or if something software is wrong, either requiring a clean install of Windows, or a driver reinstall. 

If I do upgrade CPU and motherboard, any suggestions for 5-6 hundred Ryzen, best FPS for CSGO? Gpu?

 

Thanks guys, stay safe,

-Django

From your description - hardware.

Even worst system installation with lot of viruses and bad drive can't give you "no signal", so for sure don't try to install system.

 

You may try check bios settings, disable some testing (like memory test every boot) and disable fast boot in Windows just in case. BIOS upgrade is also good option.

 

Because your game crashes, check your GPU, even downclock it using MSI Afterburner. It may be GPU problem too. Unfortunately, downclocking GPU can fix your problems only when you're in system. If your graphics card has problems at post, you can't fix that.

 

Reseating GPU and ram is good option too. And check all cables.

Yeah bios updated, ram memtest86+ no errors. It must be GPU itself, its seated fine and slightly overclocked but that was a recent adventure and nothing that caused previous errors. Thanks!
