    Question Recommended Monitor?

    That's what I've heard, but apparently the MAG241C is also VA and I've never really thought the image looks bad for gaming. So I think if there's no other issues with the GS27FC, that might be the best option for me. Thank you for your advice!

    Question Recommended Monitor?

    Hey, thanks for the recommendations. I prefer to shop Newegg or Amazon as those are sites I trust, and I try to stick with new unless that's not an option. I did actually research the VG249Q1A a bit beforehand, but unless I'm mistaken it's not curved and I was reading that a lot of people were...

    Question Recommended Monitor?

    I'm looking to buy a new monitor as I'm moving into my college dorm for the semester and don't want to have to lug all of my peripherals back and forth between my dorm and my house whenever I'm on break or visiting home. I've been using an MSI MAG241C for the past few years and have been very...

    Question High nvlddmkm.sys DPC count and execution ms

    Here is a MEGA folder with the MEMORY.DMP file: https://mega.nz/folder/d1lSHIzK#6sxbMWhOFIUhZZV_W-ulSw I very recently updated my BIOS to fix another issue, as well as my motherboard drivers too. I can try reinstalling my mobo drivers AGAIN, if it comes to it. If that's the case which ones...

    Question High nvlddmkm.sys DPC count and execution ms

    An additional update: I disabled HPET in device manager, which improved the situation a small amount, but not nearly enough. I'm using the game Mordhau's main menu as a testing grounds for my performance, as I know roughly where it should be with my parts. Before disabling HPET, I'd get maybe...

    Question High nvlddmkm.sys DPC count and execution ms

    Bit of an update: I've tried installing to the newest version of Nvidia drivers. I used safe mode, ddu, all of that to make sure I had a proper uninstallation of the old driver. The problem still persists. I've also noticed that in task manager it lists many programs using GPU 0 - 3D- which I...

    Question High nvlddmkm.sys DPC count and execution ms

    Hi, I've been having this issue for the past few months which comes on and off. More often than not, it's off. I just installed a new set of ram (2x16gb corsair vengeance rgb pro) and now it's back again. What I notice in task manager is that whenever I try to do ANY simple task (scrolling on...

    [SOLVED] CPU usage tanks, followed by frame drops

    Tonight seems to have ran fine as well. I'm hesitantly saying that it's fixed now. My temperatures generally seem alright, but I'll be sure to keep an eye on them. Thank you for all the incredibly detailed support, I know the solution wasn't what any of us thought it might be, but your help...

    [SOLVED] CPU usage tanks, followed by frame drops

    Actually, I think I may have found a solution. I changed my power plan from "Balanced" to "Ultimate Performance" last night, and I played several hours straight in a graphically demanding game without getting a single power drop/frame drop. Now, I don't know for SURE if it's completely solved...

    [SOLVED] CPU usage tanks, followed by frame drops

    Alright, I've got another update. I ran HWiNFO while running Mordhau, and I've got two screenshots of my GPU's performance that I think may be significant. Here is what the GPU section looks like when the game is running as it should (100-120fps) Here is what the GPU section looks like when...

    [SOLVED] CPU usage tanks, followed by frame drops

    Ok, so here's what I've tried now: I updated my BIOS to 3802. I did not do the process of removing the CMOS battery, as every guide I found online said that all it does is reset time and settings. I disabled fTMP and enabled D.O.C.P, and I also did that "super ultra clean install" of my...

    [SOLVED] CPU usage tanks, followed by frame drops

    When updating bios, do I have to do that whole song and dance with the CMOS battery? Every tutorial I'm looking at for my MOBO says I need to put a .CAP file on a USB, then use the BIOS to just update from that.

    [SOLVED] CPU usage tanks, followed by frame drops

    It's a B450M-A. As of my RAM, how do I increase the speed?

    [SOLVED] CPU usage tanks, followed by frame drops

    SSD (system drive + high priority games) is maybe half full. Fairly new and in fine condition AFAIK. HDD (storage + miscellaneous games) is probably three quarters full, it's a couple years old now and I wouldn't be surprised if it's slowing down. That being said, problems are arising in games...

    [SOLVED] CPU usage tanks, followed by frame drops

    Update: I tried new chipset, LAN, and audio drivers. No good.
