Right now my system reports pcie 3.0 x4 , whereas it's supposed to show 3.0 x16 as per gpu+mobo specs. I did testing through 3dmark Timespy and the graphics score is about 4% below the average for GTX1660 supers which appears within normal deviation. If the bus link is really at x4 then...

I defaulted the settings in Nvidia control panel and set 3D settings to "let application decide", now the games run at a higher fps. However, the bus speed is still at PCIE 3.0 x4, wondering what is the reason for that and is it holding back some potential performance?

What BIOS version are you on for your motherboard? BIOS version is F24 PSU: Antec Neo Eco II 650W How old is the unit in question? 3-4 years old Try powering down the system, disconnecting from the wall and display, then remove the CMOS battery, then press and hold down the power button...

Temps are normal, 72c under gaming load, fan speed around 1500rpm

I replaced the RX570 4gb in my system with a used GTX 1660 Super, removed old AMD drivers using DDU safe mode, swapped the GPU and installed latest Geforce drivers. When I booted some games instantly noticed FPS drop shown in overlay: CSGO used to run close to 200fps, now it runs around 120; The...

Just an update, ran Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool again choosing burn in (2 hour long test). After it reached CPU Load test, screen turned black (no signal) and system froze with keyboard lights unresponsive, but the heatsink fan kept on running high speed as if still doing the test. I let it...

Haven't updated to Win 10 version 2004 yet, never had any operating system problems before. Likely not a Windows issue as the system lockup happened once when I left PC idle in BIOS. BIOS version is F23a , my Antec PSU only around 2 years old. The PSU I borrowed is a Cooler Master 450w, total...

Hey I have the exact same problem as you, CPU: Intel core i5 6600, same motherboard Gigabyte H170M-D3H-CF. I also tested RAM, swapped PSU, and use onboard graphics with same random shutdown problem. Sometimes it runs fine for days or shut off after leaving it on overnight. I took it to a repair...

Hope if anyone can provide insight: My PC started to random shutdown a few months ago (everything suddenly turns off, event viewer only shows kernel power error). It happened first in June, so I reseated the RAM and it didn't happen again until 1 month later in July. Then it became more frequent...
