Found the fix thanks to another forum. Pull up the Nvidia GeForce Experience Overlay (Alt + Z) and then click on the gear icon. Scroll down to "Performance Monitoring" and make sure "Always Show Reflex Flash Indicator" is unchecked.

I've run into a strange problem that I've never seen before. While playing certain games, there's a black rectangle that appears on the left-middle part of the game's display. Here's a couple of examples: View: https://imgur.com/a/QJaWaVt View: https://imgur.com/a/1FTFA6C This issue...

I've already tried turning off and disconnecting each of my peripherals (including speakers) without any luck. Plus the noise is louder when I remove the side panel and move my head closer to the case so it's definitely coming from something within the PC.

I followed the advice of disconnecting the case fans but I'm still getting the buzzing noise. In the video below I have all the fans in the case (including the CPU cooler fan) disconnected, and the GPU fans were also not running since it uses a zero RPM mode while not under load. Not sure how...

Yes that's the correct PSU. I double checked all the cabling and connections and didn't find anything brushing up against the fans, though admittedly the fans I'm using are cheap Thermalright ARGB fans so it's possible their motors are junk. But you'd think the buzzing noise would've been more...

I'm getting random buzzing sounds coming from my PC. It goes in and out at random and doesn't seem to be affected when my system is under load (such as heavy gaming). I have replaced both my power supply and case fans as they seemed like the most obvious culprits, but the noise has persisted...

Update: Figured out the problem was my graphics card. Every time the fans spin up it makes that noise. Is this something to be concerned about, and what's the best way to go about fixing it?

I know this is late but have you been able to fix the problem? I'm having the exact same issue with the exact same graphics card lol

My Lenovo Legion Tower 5i has begun making a strange grinding-ish noise during light use and while idling. When I first received the PC, I switched out the power supply with a Cooler Master MasterWatt 750 PSU, but then the PC would consistently make this 'grinding' noise upon startup. Assuming...

I own a Dell G5 gaming desktop PC with an Intel Core i5-10400F CPU. I removed the CPU retention bracket while cleaning off thermal paste from the CPU, and now I can no longer reapply the retention bracket because the screws will not tighten no matter what. The screws don't even seem to fit at...

Hello everyone, I currently own a Dell G5 gaming desktop, but I want to upgrade its GPU and PSU. Since the system uses propietary parts, I've decided to purchase the Dell XPS 8940 and swap out the PSU and GPU that it came with and install it into my G5 (then put my old PSU and GPU back in the...

So it sounds like the 360W PSU should be enough to handle my system specs, which in that case either my GPU is malfunctioning or maybe my games are poorly optimized (though I have messed around a lot with the RDR2 settings and tested both super low and ultra settings, and the results have always...

No drops or stutters, though I'm definitely concerned about the CPU running at full capacity because it starts running loud and hot despite the game running fine.

Hello all, I own a Dell G5 desktop gaming PC that comes with a 360W power supply. I've noticed that my graphics card works as it should when playing less intensive games like Mass Effect Legendary Edition or The Outerworlds (30-60% usage), but interestingly its usage drops to 0-5% when playing...

Hello everyone, My pre-built Dell G5 desktop came with a paltry 360W power supply. I purchased an EVGA 600W ATX 12v power supply to replace it, but it's clear that these power supplies were not 'made' for a small frame PC like mine, as it's far too large to fit inside but I've accepted leaving...
