Hi. So using Furmark my GPU temp went up to 86c at max, after letting it run for 15minutes. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what the average temperature was with my GPU before the changes. I just seen the average temps people who use the same GPU are pulling and 86c seems way ahead...

Hey, So I've managed to run a userbenchmark.com test on my PC https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/25159760 It seems that there is a problem with my GPU severely under performing at the moment. I doubt this is an issue with the card itself as it was working fine just days ago before the...

Hi. So today I started up my PC and noticed stuttering and frame drops in some games. I decided to check for memory leaks and saw that my memory usage was 90%+ at all times, even when I left the game and closed all programs. Shutting my system down for 15mins didn't help either. I've made no...

Hi. So I've had the PC I'm using for over 2 years now and this problem has just begun. The sound of a device being connected plays and my computer flashes constantly for about 5-6 seconds at random intervals. I've installed and run USBDeview and I can see 3 devices that are being connected and...

I tried resetting the CMOS again to get back into the BIOS page again but instead it sent me to a splash screen that displayed a message "Preparing automatic repair" indefinitely. Upon hard resetting my PC now whenever I reset the CMOS my PC simply freezes on the boot splash screen and doesn't...

Specs: Windows 10 32-bit GeForce 1080 GTX 16GB 2144hz 1000W EVGA Supernova PSU MSI DDR4 Mobo I can provide more, a little difficult at the moment as I can't access my PC. I'll work on your tips there, although I find it weird how I've experienced absolutely 0 issues with this PC since...
