    Question PC crashing as well as programs and web browser tabs

    So final update on this (I hope). I managed to get another set of RAM, which I swapped out with my current RAM and haven't had a crash yet. The new RAM is only 2400mhz vs the 3200mhz that I was using before, but I'm pretty sure the RAM was the dodgy part considering its working perfectly now.

    Question PC crashing as well as programs and web browser tabs

    Update: Did a clean install of windows and wiped my PC. Played a game of CS2 fine, the next game I played my PC full crashed with no bluescreen. Does this mean its likely a hardware issue? EDIT: I ran Furmark GPU stress test which ran fine, but after running Prime95 stress test 3 of the 6...

    Question PC crashing as well as programs and web browser tabs

    Update: Haven't had much time today, but I ran Memtest86 and it passed fully with no errors, so unlikely to be a RAM issue? I used Crystalmarkinfo and SSD looks like its still in good health at 93% so I don't know if that would be the issue either? What would be the next step (bar testing new...

    Question PC crashing as well as programs and web browser tabs

    Thanks for your reply! Yupp you're right on the RAM, my bad there! Will check BIOS soon, currently running a Windows memtest. (This is saying "Hardware problems were detected, contact computer manufacturer" though at the moment which might indicate something...) EDIT: Memtest finished and...

    Question Can my microphone lower my windows sound?

    I just made a loud noise into my microphone (Cloud alpha headset) and after, my voice kept cutting out/ was really quiet. After some troubleshooting it seems my windows microphone volume output was only at 60, so I raised it to 100 and I think the microphone is back to normal. I was just...

    [SOLVED] headset has just stopped working

    Thanks a lot for the response. I've figured it out after sitting here for an hour. Someone must have unplugged them yesterday because the mic and audio ports were in the wrong jacks. Just had to switch them round to the correct ones. 🤦‍♂️

    [SOLVED] headset has just stopped working

    Today I switched from my Speakers to my headset as I wanted to play a game and they just aren't working. If I adjust the volume wheel in line I get quite a loud static noise, but I can't figure out why no sound is coming out of them. I haven't touched anything since yesterday and they were...

    [SOLVED] PC occasionally making a buzzing noise (Sounds like from PSU)

    I have had my PC for just under a year now (January) and have had 0 issues until recently. In the last month on a few different occasions (4) a buzzing sound has been coming from what sounds like my PSU. The first time I heard it was after playing New World and I was about to power down the PC...

    Question Can't cap graphics card temp (RX480)

    Question Can't cap graphics card temp (RX480)

    Have tried both options and unfortunately neither work. I ran FurMark GPU stress test and it ran fine for 10 minutes at over 80 degrees so I'm not sure what going on. Maybe where I was capping the GPU at 70 it was throttling my PC and therefore it might be the CPU with a problem? I'm a bit lost...

    Question Can't cap graphics card temp (RX480)

    Adrenalin... as in the standard Radeon settings software? This doesn't have an option to cap a max temp anymore so isn't very useful unfortunately. The adjustable fan speed/temp graph is also not great as it puts my fan speed WAY higher than when I have a max temp set

    Question Can't cap graphics card temp (RX480)

    Have had problems with my graphics card in the past so have had to cap the temp of it to around 70c using MSI Afterburner. My PC just crashed and when I loaded it back up MSI afterburner wont let me adjust the temp below the max (90) as it just resets itself when i click apply. I had this...
