I'm currently using Windows 10 and there's a minor and slightly annoying behaviour with my desktop icons. I usually sort my desktop icons by alphabetical order, and for a few months now, Windows seems to always leave a one-space gap when it loads up the icons on startup. I usually just re-sort...

Thanks everyone for the help and suggestions - just thought I'd give a last update. The current status of my issue: it's kind of resolved. Not really, but kind of. And I don't really know how. After two weeks of getting nowhere I eventually grew tired of troubleshooting this issue and reset my...

Hi Ralston, thanks for the tip! These are my Reliability History logs for the past 2 weeks. View: https://imgur.com/a/dKv5baC Before recording these screenshots, I used my system as normal until a terminal freeze occurred in order to see if it or any of the minor freezes would get recorded...

Apologies for the late update, been a little busy the past few days! I have cleared the CMOS on my motherboard by unplugging my PC and removing the battery for a few minutes, but the problem still persists.

I haven't had an OS update since I updated the BIOS - nothing major has happened with my rig ever since, which is why I find it strange that this problem seems to just come back without any visible cause. I'll have a look at clearing the CMOS and report back with any updates.

Hi all! I'm slightly embarrassed to bring this back, and I'm not so sure how you're supposed to do this on this forum - apologies if I'm doing this the wrong way, and please let me know if there's a better way to do this. So I made a post about ten days ago about a freezing problem with my...

For games that have this setting, render resolution (distinct from screen resolution) has a pretty big impact on performance. My current rig is powerful enough that I pretty much never need to tweak settings for more FPS anymore, but back when I used to play on an older GTX950M laptop, render...

There is usually always some "bedding in" time with new hardware, but it doesn't typically stretch as long as the period of time you seem to be having. If you are having issues getting used to your new setup, try replicating your old settings: set your resolution to your previously used...

Fixed it! Turns out my outdated motherboard BIOS was the culprit. I flashed it to the latest version (7B17v1C) as you suggested and tested several games over an hour or so - and the problem seems to have completely disappeared. The whole time I thought it was some sort of software...

My RAM kit is the Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz C16 Memory Kit. https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Memory/Vengeance-PRO-RGB-Black/p/CMW16GX4M2C3200C16 My motherboard BIOS version as of this moment is American Megatrends Inc. 1.50, 25-Mar-19. Sorry but...

Hi all! Recently, I have been experiencing random mouse cursor freezes on Windows 10, and despite various troubleshooting attempts, I have been unable to resolve this issue. I'm using a HyperX Pulsefire Haste wired mouse on my setup. At seemingly random intervals, the mouse cursor will...
