So, just posting this in case someone runs into the same issue 2 years from now and finds this thread. Yesterday I finally managed to pin the problem to the CPU after more troubleshooting and going through different hardware configurations and operating systems. It occured on both a B450 and...

Yes, I've used different headsets that work on my mobile phone. Had not checked for debris or damaged cables but none that I can see (even if there had been, it wouldnt make sense for both regular 3.5 thingy audio AND audio over HDMI not to work, right?). All drivers I used were directly from...

Thank you for the reply. Repairing windows in the ways you suggested did not solve the issue (nor find any major errors), however, in reliability history there is a critical hardware error generated upon each start up. LiveKernelEvent Code: 144 Parameter 1: 1018 Parameter 2: ffffc4053e2a89a0...

Hello, kinda at my wits end here. Earlier today I was playing a video game when out of nowhere my audio started to get this "crackling". After restarting my PC Windows 10 did not recognise any audio out or input devices, as if I had non plugged in. I also noticed that youtube videos were...

You've selected a uatx motherboard. Most cases will support them but typically they are used for small builds in cube towers for example. Since you've selected a mid tower, and as far as I can remember the H24 supports the ATX form factor, I'd recommend getting a bigger ATX mb. It will fit the...

Sounds like you'd enjoy The Witcher 3 a lot more to me.

Quick update, I replaced my CPU cooler with a 212 evo and all is working fine. Fan being ramped up when CPU is under strain, temps very good, etc. So it looks like the fan in the old V8 was just dying. I might have been able to simply replace the fan for less money but its a bit tricky on the V8...

How are your keyboard and mouse connected? Just normal USB?

I've had 3 wired xbox controllers over the years. One I got rid of because the sticks were completely worn down, the other one actually had the same issue you mentioned with the LB button - but it lasted for 4 years. The third is still going strong. I'm pretty sure these things could survive a...

If its not some kind of leak, your ram shouldn't really be the issue. Frame drops in Novigrad is pretty normal though. There is an option to turn down the number of NPCs in highly populated places somewhere, try dropping it down to medium and see if it fixes your issue. Bump it up to high, then...
