    Question xfx 6600xt display driver keep crashing

    I think this might be a common AMD or AMD 6600xt issue. I have the exact same issue with my MSI 6600xt where sleep/monitor idle sometimes causes my GPU driver to crash/timeout. I get no display until i reboot my pc.

    Question SSD was showing as uninitialized until reboot ?

    I guess if it happens again i'll try plugging it in again. I kind of figured if it lost power or sata connector, it would just completely disconnect instead of showing as it needs to be initialized. I did some digging around and the only other reference of this i've seen involved a bad windows...

    Question SSD was showing as uninitialized until reboot ?

    I have a month old or so SSD that randomly disappeared from my drives and showed up in disk management as uninitialized. I restarted my computer and it seems like after that it worked as usual. So far it's only happened once. Has anyone experienced this before, or knows what could have...

    Question GTX 1070 Dying?

    I forgot to mention the first freeze was accompanied by a full screen static-like green/pink checkerboard pattern, and the recent nvidia driver install i thought would fix it had turned the screen a tint of green before it black screened until i restarted the PC. OS: Windows 10 CPU: 6600k...

    Question GTX 1070 Dying?

    As of a couple weeks ago my GTX 1070 started to have a freezing issue after 2 years of going problem free. After various observation it seems like there's a chance, maybe 10% anytime i go through a loading screen in a game that the computer freezes. For instance in fallout 4 it's frozen when...

    Cold Boot/Wake from Sleep Graphics Card problems.

    Giving an update on this. A few months after my last post the GPU started to get worse and worse, requiring more and more down clocking to remain stable until i eventually just decided to RMA the card. Near that point the card was sitting at about -25% on the power target which for some reason...

    Cold Boot/Wake from Sleep Graphics Card problems.

    After a couple good weeks of testing it just seems like for whatever reason the graphics card is just does not like the stock clock/power configs. Driver/bios updates have not changed it, but the ~5% reduction in clock speeds seems to prevent the issue. Cause of problem still unknown but it...

    Cold Boot/Wake from Sleep Graphics Card problems.

    Some time since my last post but i've been testing out using EVGA precision to downclock my card by 5-10%, and so far out of 3 attempts it has prevented the driver from crashing on each one.

    Cold Boot/Wake from Sleep Graphics Card problems.

    Since about a week ago, my computer has had an issue when starting from sleep or a shutdown state, the graphics card will not function properly. At first it was just an issue where the first game i play that is remotely demanding, even the main menu of overwatch, would cause the Nvidia driver...

    Kitchen lights causes the internet to drop?

    Looks like it might have been something related to interference from lights, after getting a new modem on another cable outlet the problems seem to have ceased.
