The CPU usage is normal. The GPU usage should be hitting 95%+ consistently. Check the power % too and see what it says. Edit: I will also add that 90fps seems pretty good for a 1070/6700

Check your CPU/GPU temps and usage while in the game.

So, you're putting it back on your other motherboard/CPU and it works fine? I don't think a new GPU/PSU is going to fix it.. unless I misunderstood you. Also, you might need to check and make sure your graphics are set to PCIe instead of integrated in BIOS. That may help.

I haven't played Valorant so I can't be sure how demanding it is but I do think your GPU usage should be much higher and more than likely that's your problem. Can you try another game? Preferably something known to be demanding.

What is your GPU/CPU usage while playing?

I would try what faalin recommended and move the PSU cables to another PCIe port.

Have you tried the other PCIe slot?

If you replaced the motherboard, make sure the standoffs are in the correct places and not shorting out the back of the motherboard.

First, you'll need to dig into your event logs. "Event Viewer" > "System". Look at any errors there and see if it points to anything. Also, when you say it restarts, is it "restarting" properly as if you would click "power" > "restart" or is it just hitting a black screen and rebooting?

I would install MSI Afterburner. Get it running on a side monitor so you can see it while running a game. Once you've started playing something, look at your GPU usage and CPU usage and see what it shows. With a 9900k, the CPU usage may top at at 50% or so (depending on the game) but the GPU...

I'm having a weird issue with a server. Here are the details. All the firewall rules are in place and it's been working for years with no setting changes. Server A can ping Server B with no issues until while on Server A, you try to access something like '\\Server B\c$'. Once that happens, the...

Thanks for stopping by and reading my post. I hope someone could clarify a question I have about setting up Virtual Disks. Info: 8x 6TB 15k SAS drives Dell PowerEdge R440 as a VMHost Multiple VMs ranging from a large file server, print server, app server, etc (around 8 or so total) RAID 1+0 My...

So I'm getting an AOC U2879VF 28" 4K display to replace my Dell P2314H 23" 1080p display. I started doing some research and the only major issue I've found is some sources stating it has high input lag. I was hoping there was someone here that actually owns the AOC and games on it. If so, can...

I would definitely use MSI Afterburner (or like software) and check GPU temps and usage at idle and on load. You definitely want to make sure you aren't thermal throttling first.
