    [SOLVED] flashing screen and stuttering videos

    I'm getting a very similar black screen/stutter, but I only get them during gameplay while a youtube video is also playing. The only component we share is the nvme drive, so I'm really hoping that can't be an issue. The stutter makes some games crash which is very frustrating, searching hard for...

    Question Screen flashes black, followed by a game crash & Chrome freezing, as well as all apps displaying wrong ?

    Okay this is extremely weird and I have no clue how to even start trouble shooting it. I have an RTX 2080, with a 1440p 144hz display. For the past few weeks, during game play, while also watching content on my second monitor (YouTube), my screen will randomly flash black for just a moment, as...

    Question CPU and GPU not hitting 100% load

    So I've been having this issue for a while and it's eating away at me. I have an rtx 2080, ryzen 7 2700, 16gb ddr4 3200mhz ram, and the cpu and gpu never hit load while gaming. Temps are fine, the cpu is cooled by a 240mm aio, and in benchmarks and when gaming doesn't go over ~45c. The gpu...

    Question Realtek HD Audio Manager/ROG SupremeFX Combining Headphones and Speakers

    I recently upgraded my rig, including a new ASUS ROG Strix board. With that of course came new audio drivers etc. Since the upgrade, the audio manager (shows up as Realtek, launches ROG SupremeFX, assuming it's the same), after plugging in my headphones to the front panel, let's me select that...

    Removing a Faulty Drive

    When I built my system back in 2013 I had a 1TB hdd I booted from. A few years back I upgraded to an ssd as a boot drive but kept in the hdd for mass storage. Now the hard drive is dying on me. It will have 100% usage with insanely low speeds, making it almost entirely unusable, and this causes...

    Getting More out of my Headphones

    I've had my headphones, Sennheiser HD 598 Cs (closed back), for over a year now. I'm pretty happy with them, but lately I've been listening to more music and I've found that even with windows volume set to max I can't quite get music as loud as I'd like. Is there any way I can raise the volume...

    Computer Won't Boot from Proper Drive

    I haven't disabled UEFI, the boot mode is "UEFI + Legacy," which is what has worked in the past. I'm confused as to why this problem popped up so suddenly.

    Computer Won't Boot from Proper Drive

    For over a year now I've been booting from my SSD, without issues. However, I left my computer on today when I went out. When I came back, I saw I was on the Windows login screen. I put in my password and realized that it booted from the wrong drive - my hard drive I used previously. The SSD...

    Moving games from HDD to SSD

    I'm adding an SSD to my system that currently has a 1TB HDD. Once I have windows installed on that ssd and all my drivers, is it possible to put certain games from Steam onto the SSD but keep others on the HDD? And if so, can I just copy the game files over form the HDD to the SSD, or do I have...
