    Question Hard crashes - screen frozen, 0 response, high VBAT temperature

    Hello! After testing every component individually, it turns out my CPU gave up. Never overclocked it, never messed with it, updated whatever intel stuff the asus center offered. No clue if related to the common issues of the generation(s), or just an unlucky thing. Either way, if anyone ever...

    Question Hard crashes - screen frozen, 0 response, high VBAT temperature

    I did run it, no errors. As a little update: I had more crashes, while running no GPU driver installed. I tried reinstalling windows, but my pc hard crashed during the installation at 1%, not even booted in. As for the temperature, as I said, as far as I can tell, temp 5 is supposed to be the...

    Question Hard crashes - screen frozen, 0 response, high VBAT temperature

    Hello! In the past 3 days, I have had several of these types of hard crashes. First it was just one, then again just one, then back to back multiple. Without warning. Both under a bit of load, and ~30 seconds after pc launch with nothing going on. I had 3 BSODs (all 3 different types [kmod...

    Question Microphone does not work as input device, but instead plays back any audio ?

    I have installed old drivers that I had laying around on an external drive, because the most up to date version on realtek's site, and the one provided on my motherboards site does in fact, not work. I have not touched any of the drivers or windows prior to encountering the issue. I have done so...

    Question Microphone does not work as input device, but instead plays back any audio ?

    Just the other day I discovered my microphone is not transmitting my voice. After further inspection, I cannot get the mic in/mic in rear panel (pink) to work whatsoever. My headset's sound output is detected as a mic input. I have tried reinstalling old realtek drivers (pre 2017), the most...

    Question Graphics look off regardless of settings ?

    I've been using the same monitor for the past five or so years. Graphical settings seemingly do not do anything significant/observable with current setup. It wasn't an issue with previous much weaker/older setup. The issue has nothing to do with the monitor...

    Question Graphical issues with various programs

    I've made another post beforehand, where I haven't gotten results, so here I am trying again. https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/graphics-look-off-regardless-of-settings.3802454/ I performed a completely clean windows installation - as suggested - on a brand new hard drive, yet the issue...

    Question Graphics look off regardless of settings ?

    I used a completely new hard drive, installed a fresh windows, installed all the latest drivers. Still the same results. View: https://imgur.com/a/1hCA5tW It is apparent the application settings don't work properly, despite the NVP having the "application controlled" options toggled, but...

    Question Graphics look off regardless of settings ?

    The answer to your question has been in my original post. I have only switched 3 parts in my computer. No I did not perform a full OS reinstall.

For my GPU I've been using the 3060 instead of the 1050ti for about 10 months now without any issues. I'm pretty sure it's some issue with the...

    Question Graphics look off regardless of settings ?

    I've recently upgraded my PC, went from a pretty old mobo/cpu/ram combo to my current one. I played a few games without any issues in the last few months (such as Escape from Tarkov), but the last few in particular caught my interest. Two new games I have bought recently being Ghost Recon...
