Ok, for those interested, I found what the problem was. I took my PC to a computer shop for hardware diagnosis, and they found the problem was actually being caused by a fault in the CPU. Replacing the CPU solved the issue.

My system specs: PSU: Cooler Master MWE Gold V2 850W Mobo: Gigabyte B560M AORUS PRO Micro ATX CPU : 10700KF Boot drive (Windows 10) : SK hynix Gold P31 2TB PCIe NVMe Gen3 M.2 2280 Internal SSD (800GB Free space left) Boot drive (Windows 11) Kingston NV1 2 TB, 700GB system partition (150GB...

Hello. Last night my PC froze on boot screen. Now it boots into windows, but only runs at 1024 x 768 and the GPU has a yellow exclamation mark in device manager with the error: " Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43) " I updated the Nvidia drivers, but...

Thanks. I ended up going into BIOS and enabling the option "LEDs in sleep, hybernation and soft power-off state" which kept them on constantly even when the PC is switched off. Then I went to BIOS again and disabled it again. After doing it miraculously started working again. This is my first...

I have a Gigabyte 3060 Ti Gaming. This card usually remembers the LED settings and even if I take it out and put in another computer the LEDs normally turn on as soon as the computer starts, remembering the last color that was set. No Software was ever required for this to function. But lately...

Thanks, this will be useful. Also, if anyone's curious, I got a reply from Gigabyte, apparently Intel doesn't offer this setting in bios on their B560 boards, only Z590.

Thanks for the help. What I decided to try, is to cut the power limit PL1 to 95W. This way even at 4-core Prime95 small fft and and GPU at full load the temps don't exceed 84C as power limit kicks in. After doing this I notice no impact on performance in games, still boosts same as before. In...

I have Gigabyte B560M Aorus Pro. I've gone through the manual but there is no mention of that. From online search I've learned that Gigabyte motherboards are supposed to have an option "TJ MAX", which allows to thermal throttle at specified temperature. Based on screenshots found online I went...

I have 10700KF with Noctua NH-U12S. I put my Graphics card under 100% load and then run Prime95 small ffts to see if the CPU can cope with the combined heat. When I run Prime95 with all cores, it runs at 4.05 Ghz and 80 degrees. But when I run it with only 4 cores it runs at 4.66 Ghz and...

What I just found, I have to plug the DP cable into the graphics card socket really hard, with a lot of force. Only then does it work reliably. Also, what happens when you wiggle your DP plug at GPU socket? Does it continue working without interruptions?

When I use any HDMI device with any HDMI cable, the connection is sturdy, I can even wiggle the plug and the picture and sound continues without problems. But recently I switched to Display Port, and when I connect the cable to my Graphics card I often have to keep plugging and unplugging, and...

I'm trying to buy a monitor for gaming. I've tried several ones so far, and every single curved monitor had backlight issues. I tried these curved ones: AOC C32G1 - clouded screen Bought second AOC C32G1 - again clouded screen Acer XZ321Q - clouded screen and edge backlight bleed Then I tried...

I noticed this only happens with Freesync on. If I switch it off, the GPU stays at 98 - 99% usage at all times. I checked in the game "the forest" as well. Everything works fine, but if I switch Freesync on the GPU keeps dipping to 80.

I noticed something strange. When I play Shadow Warrior 2 at 1080p high detail I get over 90 fps, GPU usage is above 97% at all times. I now have 1440p monitor and when I switch to 1440p high detail, the GPU sometimes slows down to 50 - 60% usage, and framerate drops to 40 or below because the...
