    Question Random BSODs recently (haven't had any for years) ?

    Hey, Could anyone take a look at these dump files, please? I've had 2 BSoDs within 4 days for an unknown (to me) reason. I know that in the past it used to be my PSU, but I haven't changed any hardware recently. Also, when it was my PSU, dump files were never created; here they are dumped...

    Question Odd crackling issue with a headset

    Hey, My rather new Beyerdynamic headset (not even 1 year old) has developed a rather odd issue. About 2 weeks ago the right earbud started crackling. It only crackles when very low tones (10-20hz range) are the primary sound in the audio mix. I tried lowering them with built-in realtek eq, but...

    [SOLVED] System shut down on its own, then boot failed due to "no operating system found"

    This is an odd one. I was just watching a stream on Twitch when suddenly my system just powered off. After turning it back on, i was stuck with "operating system wasn't found. Try disconnecting any drives that don't contain an operating system" (mind you, this seems to be typical for laptops...

    [SOLVED] Odd issue with DT990 PROs

    I know nothing about headsets, so this may not be odd at all. However... My trusty 10 y.o. Beyerdynamics DT 990 PROs have finally started giving up. The left earbud cuts off, progressively losing volume output in a few stages over a second or so till it goes silent. Out of frustration I lightly...

    Question Random restarts after I tried connecting my external amplifier and sound system (win 10)

    Final update: It was, in fact, a motherboard damage. Most likely the audio chipset as it was the closest target to the area that caused the issues in the first place. I did a thorough inspection and there was definitely no visible trauma on the mobo itself, which would suggest it was the...

    [SOLVED] Can an old PCI sound card work in a PCIe 4x slot?

    As most of us know, modern mobos do not have the good, 'ole PCI slot. Not a single one. I'm in need to install an external audio card (onboard audio got fried), but as you may have guessed by the title: there is no correct slot on the mobo. So... can I actually install a PCI card in a PCIe 4x...

    Question Random restarts after I tried connecting my external amplifier and sound system (win 10)

    Another update: System is stable in safe mode. Yet another update: Today has been horrible. Freezing a few seconds into windows startup (desktop loads, services proceed to initiate and... bam). I have disabled every single realtek audio-related device, software and also the chip itself in...

    Question Random restarts after I tried connecting my external amplifier and sound system (win 10)

    Update: The last freeze (I've disabled auto-restarts in an attempt to generate dump files [to no avail]) occurred during gaming; about 15 minutes into running the app. First the screen and all peripherals froze, but the sound continue to render for about a second or two, then it also froze...

    Question Random restarts after I tried connecting my external amplifier and sound system (win 10)

    I must have updated my thread right as you were writing your reply. I connected PHONES right/left OUT to one of the 3.5mm INs for speakers via a dedicated cable.

    Question Random restarts after I tried connecting my external amplifier and sound system (win 10)

    Back after many years of flawless operations. Once again with random restarts. I was trying to reconnect my old high quality Kenwood amplifier back up to my PC for some quality music listening. I can tell you right now this is a user error since my PC immediately froze, then the music played...

    PSU or GPU - what is dying over here? Gigabyte GTX 970 black screen issue

    Quick update: GPU officially dead. Despite my best efforts and keeping the core at 60*C with a jet engine inside my case, today morning one of my card's voltage regulators got fried really badly. GPU and RAM units are in perfect shape, though. Gigabyte really screwed up VRM cooling on this...

    FX 8350 - Vcore voltage doesn't seem right!

    Indeed. Well, problem solved. Stable OC @ 4.4 established. 41*C at peak temps. Go liquid cooling! :)
