    [SOLVED] Intermittent Loss of Packets on an Ethernet Connection

    Oh lord hammercy.... well we can assume it's upstream somewhere then, probably saturation and bad network design that did not scale well. You'll need to take this up with your ISP, or maybe next time you see a result like this, restart your (what I assume is a) cable modem: maybe renegotiating a...

    [SOLVED] Computer shutting down mid game.

    Let's create a synthetic and unrealistic load to make sure that it is actually shutting off due to power supply. Download Prime95 and run that to see if your PC crashes. Then try Furmark, and then possibly both at once to see what the issue may be if it has not shut down yet, and we can go from...

    [SOLVED] Extreme stuttering/rendering/texture issues across all games/environments on NEW PC

    Obvious, but try putting your RAM back to stock. DDR4 does not play nicely with speeds either lower or higher than stock as easy as DDR3 did, at least in my experience. Benchmarks can mean absolutely nothing for RAM issues. Sidenote (and another potential problem): Considering your GPU can...

    [SOLVED] What component is dying on my pc?

    Have you run Prime95 on the CPU to make sure it's still stable? Likewise, have you tried Furmark on the GPU? Or even try reinstalling your OS? It could definitely be software related.
