    Question USB devices disconnecting randomly. Same 3 devices.

    I think I did. I tried advice I've been given but overlooked. I went to my motherboards website and downloaded all chipset drivers, all of them. Installed them and the problem went away. In fact my built in bluetooth and wifi came to life also. In summary, the motherboard website is the best...

    Question USB devices disconnecting randomly. Same 3 devices.

    My PC is about 2 months old and was far from cheap. I am very pleased with its performance and stability and have had zero issues, until recently. Whilst playing The Division 2, occasionally I will hear the USB disconnect sound. My mouse and keyboard lights will go out as will my USB wireless...

    Question Possible memory problems. How can I be certain?

    For years now, my computer has always crashed while playing games. I used to brush it off but over the years I've slowly become tired and dare I say it, even depressed over my computers ability to crash. First the specs: Operating System Windows 10 Pro 64-bit CPU...

    Question Games often crash. What troubleshooting can I do to help fix it?

    I feel I am making some progress, I hope. I ran memtesk HCI last night. I ran multiple copies scanning about 3gb each. When I woke up, I was greeted to this: Since I have 4 x 4GB sticks and since I could only test 3gb at a time, looking at the image above, at least 3/4 of my RAM is bad...

    Question Games often crash. What troubleshooting can I do to help fix it?

    I've tested all drives and a pass for all. I will run it overnight and report back. I actually really hope it does bluescreen tonight.

    Question Games often crash. What troubleshooting can I do to help fix it?

    Thanks. The Intel test passed. So I tried verifier. However it does grind the machine to a halt, can't do anything while it is active. Is this something which is best left to idle overnight? Or do I need to push it until it breaks?

    Question Games often crash. What troubleshooting can I do to help fix it?

    I ran that test on the SSD (which is just as old at the main components, 7/8 years). No issues found. If I were to guess, I would point a finger at the motherboard, if motherboards can even cause these kinds of errors when gaming. The USB ports on this motherboard have barely worked. USB 3 has...

    Question Games often crash. What troubleshooting can I do to help fix it?

    Well, I must say I'm disappointed. In the sense that the memtest I ran overnight found no errors. I was really hoping to be able to blame something. Results: Summary Report Date 2019-07-14 08:26:42 Generated by MemTest86 V8.2 Free (64-bit) Result PASS System Information EFI...

    Question Games often crash. What troubleshooting can I do to help fix it?

    Thanks for the replies. I will run a thorough memtest tonight. Is there a preferred software or mode or something to get the scan done right? Or just MemTest86 defaults?

    Firstly, apologies if this is in the wrong area. For years now, my computer has always crashed while playing games. I used to brush it off but over the years I've slowly become tired and dare I say it, even depressed over my computers ability to crash. First the specs: Operating System...

    XFX 280X Keeps crashing in Overwatch

    've had this card for a while now, but in recent weeks my patience has just ran out. I know crashing in common for when playing games, happens to us all. But this time I really want to get to the bottom of it. The main offender at the moment is Overwatch. I get this message when playing, at...
