    [SOLVED] New 144Hz refresh rate, all games crash

    So I tried some stress testing using prime 95 and furmark. I did CPU and GPU individually for an hour, and then stressed both at the same time for an hour, with no crashing. Do you still think this is a PSU issue? I know that the PC wouldn't be pushed as hard as this in game. Could it possibly...

    [SOLVED] New 144Hz refresh rate, all games crash

    I'm going to say 7 years old at this point. I thought that once it's a good brand and 80+, it's a decent PSU?

    Games keep crashing

    Sorry for not explaining myself. By crashing I meant that the game would freeze, but sound would keep playing usually, and the game would have to be force closed, although this sometimes didnt work and would require a hard reset. Results on HD Tune error scan show no errors. When benchmarking my...

    Games keep crashing

    Hi :) *Wasn't sure what category to put this under* All of my pc games have started crashing. Sometimes it'll be after a few minutes of opening the game, others it will be an hour into it. I tried to benchmark my games and see if there was some kind of bottleneck or temps were getting too high...

    GTX 1060 severely underperforming?

    CPU; i5 2320 3.0ghz GPU: Nvidia GTX 1060 6gb I'm not too sure whats going wrong here. On GTA V lowest settings I'm getting about 50fps, but the frame rate feels very stuttery, often dropping down to 25-30 and staying there. I didn't think that my cpu would be this much of a bottleneck, so I'm...

    Is my CPU a bottleneck?

    I recently upgraded my r9 270x to a gtx 1060, and I think I'm getting lower performance than I should. CPU is an i5 2320, is it bottlenecking my new card ?

    Graphics problem with gtx 1060 ?

    Just got my new 1060 and have noticed a few graphical issues. On mafia 2, there are lots of textures flickering and jumping around the screen ( not really sure how to describe it ) And on steam, when scrolling through pages , there's lots of screen tearing. Has anyone else had this problem ?

    R9 390x or RX 480 ?

    So the general consensus seems to be that aftermarket RX 480 will outperform R9 390X, I'll wait so! Thanks for all your help

    R9 390x or RX 480 ?

    Was just about to say, the whole pci problem will probably be fixed with aftermarket 480s, so not worried about that. Noise and power consumption are not an issue either. I play at 1080p, and all games ranging from CS to the Witcher. If there's no huge upgrade between generations, will 390x...

    R9 390x or RX 480 ?

    The 1070 costs just a bit too much for me to justify paying that much. So I'm torn between the RX 480 and R9 390x, which I can get for about the same price. Every benchmarks compares the 480 with the 390, not the 390x, so I'm a bit uncertain about performance. Also, are there any real advantages...
