    Question Possible GPU issue: Stuttering and black screens with almost every game

    Turns out all the games I could previously run super smoothly, even MK11, just stutter and lag and underperform super heavily, have to go all the way to low on MK11 to even play it. Anyone have any ideas or am I just doomed? Can only play League smoothly when running as Administrator.

    Question Possible GPU issue: Stuttering and black screens with almost every game

    UPDATE: Since the last post I tried a different GPU (AMD Radeon HD 6970) and there was no issues running any game (within its technical constraints), the stuttering was gone. I obviously don't intend to use this as my main GPU so afterwards I put my RX back in, but at the very least I have now...

    Question Possible GPU issue: Stuttering and black screens with almost every game

    GPU temps and other info just before the GPU died is in the linked imgur picture, which is 74C , as for CPU temp its around 65C according to HWMonitor just before the crash. Also, LoL also now stutters heavily whenever I move my cursor, so that's unplayable too now.

    Question Possible GPU issue: Stuttering and black screens with almost every game

    I recently tried to play Overwatch and MH: World, only to be met with annoying microstuttering and sometimes black screens where GPU stops sending video to monitors, forcing me to restart. Overwatch has never been a problem. I used to be able to run this game smoothly with no issues at all but...

    PC suddenly dies; likely PSU problem. Help please.

    Alright thanks for your suggestions that's really helpful in putting them into perspective. The PSU is very old so it doesn't look like it's worth trying to fix it, I will just have to replace it in the end I guess which will be a worthwhile replacement.

    PC suddenly dies; likely PSU problem. Help please.

    Hello, I have a Corsair TX750 PSU and I read around and see that this PSU has a fanless mode whereby the fans will not spin until a certain amount of power is drawn/ a certain temperature is reached. However, recently, my PC has been suddenly dying - like a sudden power cut. I checked CPU temps...

    DRAM_LED solid red colour and PC shuts off after a while

    Solved. I messed around with the RAM, loosened screws on motherboard, re-applied thermal paste and resitted CPU. It didn't seem to work so I left it for a couple hours and I did not get the DRAM red led. To fix the black screen after windows logo on start-up, I updated BIOS and reinstalled...

    DRAM_LED solid red colour and PC shuts off after a while

    I have an ASUS Sabertooth 990FX mobo. Recently, the DRAM_LED has been a solid red colour, and the compute doesn't even reach a post screen. However, sometimes it doesn't go red and the PC boots, but it still shuts off after about 5 minutes. Could it be a RAM problem and a PSU problem at the same...
