    Question Internet cuts out randomly for 5-10 seconds then comes back ?

    It turned out to be an issue on the ISP's end and not in my hardware. Thanks for the help regardless!

    Question Internet cuts out randomly for 5-10 seconds then comes back ?

    Hello, so it happened again today and this time i was within eye distance to see if the lights change. I am not sure with the correct terminology when it comes to these devices so try to stay with me. The box that the fiber goes into shows only green lights during the shutdown, but the router...

    Question Internet cuts out randomly for 5-10 seconds then comes back ?

    I've been facing this issue for the past week or so. This is happening on very random intervals like it can happen multiple times a day or none at all. I cannot notice this issue at all unless i am gaming in which case my game freezes and comes back (i am not getting kicked out) The PC still...

    Question New GPU installed - freezing, black screen, Windows errors (LiveKernelEvent 117, 141, 190). Could use the help!

    Could be a ram issue aswell. Have you tried downclocking your ram to 3000MHz? You can also try clearing cmos and/or changing/disabling your XMP profile to see if the issue still remains. One thing that also came to mind is a potential disk issue. What storage does your pc have? SSD, HDD etc...

    Question Deadpool now lagging but playing smooth at first?

    Does seem that the pc store you are referring to is either a torrent or other direct download from an anonymous source seeing as Deadpool 2013 has not been purchasable on the pc from Steam since 2014. We are not authorities here. It does seem that the mentioned store you bought it from might...

    Question RTX 4080 OC Watercooling Results? Air Stock Cooler or Water Block

    Custom loop will offer cooler temps and look a bit neater. Other than that its personal preference and a question of if the time and effort required for the installation is process is worth it in your opinion for marginal gain in temperature. If it runs cool and quiet now there are really no...

    Question 7800x3d temps Question

    Looks normal in my opinion. Idle temps a bit high ish but to be honest there is no difference if it idles at 35c or 45c other than a higher number and a slightly warmer room as long as it can handle load well.. Which it clearly can from your tests. I'd say close the monitoring tool(s) and enjoy!

    Question Help a noob at pc

    What? Nearly spit out my morning coffee Who has a floppy disk, dvd rom drive or heck even an hdd nowadays? Even if that was the case for OP they wouldnt be even CLOSE to needing 300W for all of those.. Not true, not true, not true. To answer OP in the matter, an 580 will use around 180W at...

    Question GPU Blackscreen Crash Under Load

    When repasting the gpu did you check the thermal pads also? Could be that one is out of place or slightly creased/loose causing this issue. .

    Question My GPU's utilization is almost always at 100% for no reason. Is this normal?

    100% gpu utilization on minecraft with or without shaders? FPS capped or not? It does not surprise me at all that an RX580 on 1440p hits 100% in every game you throw at it though.. Especially in the games that you've listed AND that you're running them on high @1440p. But as you mentioned...

    Question Gaming PC - graphical issues

    You've pulled a good unit as some seem to start causing issues or outright breaking after 2-3 years of use, but it could be at the end of its lifeline and that is what's causing the issue. I would recommend buying another psu soon if possible either way to prevent future issues. Best of luck!

    Question Question if I need to upgrade PSU or not.

    That 550w psu will suffice for that upgrade for sure. The 3060ti pulls around 200W on full load so it is quite an efficient card. 1060 is pulling around 120W on load so the difference in wattage is pretty low. I currently have an 600w unit and im running a 5600x and an 3070 + other components...

    Question Random lock ups, but only when browsing/idle, NOT when gaming ?

    Does seem like a windows issue to me, i'd suggest reinstalling it as a start and then see if the issue persists. Could also try resetting bios to default and using your pc like that for a day or so and see if that fixes it if windows reinstall is the last resort on your list as you described...
