    Question FPS Dropping to Zero

    I haven't been able to reproduce the beahvior in any synthetic program. I'm not sure what this will tell you but I ran it 3 days ago: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/57079446 This is Time Spy's Stress test which is also unable to reproduce the behavior...

    Question FPS Dropping to Zero

    Old: 3.44 New: 8.35 This isn't true. 4x16 boots at 2133. Still get FPS to 0 problem. 2x16 (new v8.35) boots at 3600. Still get FPS to 0 problem. 2x16 (old v3.44) boots at 3600. Still get FPS to 0 problem. Thanks that's useful but at this point I can't get my original configuration to work...

    Question FPS Dropping to Zero

    I did a CMOS clear before I tried the CPU reinstall. Also tested a PSU swap w/o success (adding to main list). Regarding the RAM, yes, same made/model. The versions are different. I've confirmed I can get them both to run separately at 3600 or together at 2133 (haven't tested anything between.)...

    Question FPS Dropping to Zero

    Newest observation: 2x16 GB RAM will boot at 3600 4x16 GB RAM, will not boot at 3600MHz. MSI EZ Debug light for CPU (not RAM) lights up. Not sure if that's normal or not. Reboots several time until it loads OS @ 2133MHz. At this point I may take apart and reinstalling the CPU.

    Question FPS Dropping to Zero

    BIOS version is 7C37vAI. BIOS was 7C37vAH when I first encountered the problem so I tried writing the updated BIOS. Problem persisted. I'll add to the list. Using DDU & reinstalling drivers didn't fix.

    Question FPS Dropping to Zero

    tldr: FPS intermittently dropping to zero in online games. Drop lasts from less than a second to a few seconds. Happens every 5-10 minutes give or take. Possible random stuttering in normal use (freezing while typing in forum). Root cause still undetermined. System Specs: CPU: Ryzen 9 5900X...

    Question Picture misalignment - Vertical Tearing (?)

    More info: I was able to reproduce it launching a game. View: https://imgur.com/a/84qzHB1 So it looks like the strip of picture it's removing from the middle of the screen (notice the vertical part of the crosshair is missing) actually shows up on the far right. (As I type this, the 'w' in...

    Question Picture misalignment - Vertical Tearing (?)

    Monitor: Dell S2716DG GPU: GTX 1070 Connected via Display-Port The monitor is new and I'm hoping this is something simple because I hate returning stuff... So I'm not sure what to call this (making it difficult to search for) but it's like a vertical tear. The picture is cut in half, part of...

    Battery won't charge

    I bought a battery to replace/backup my 2-3 year old battery which is showing some wear. It's shown some odd behavior and I'm just seeing if there's anything else I can try before returning the battery. Behavior: 1. I've never gotten a good reading on any battery software (such as HWMonitor)...

    Connection issues - 'Show Available Networks' often shows nothing

    Last night I lost internet connection via wifi. It's a Gigabyte PCI-E adapter for an Intel 7260 wifi & bluetooth device. At this point I'm thinking it's Windows 10 related but I made no changes (to my knowledge) when the problem began so I'm not entirely sure where else to look. Observations...
