Hello guys, I have just built myself my first ever computer, specs below
AMD FX6300
MSI 970A G43 MOBO
Corsair CX750 PSU
WD Cavuiar Blue 1TB HDD
AMD 3850 GPU
The idea was to build a basic gaming PC with an R9270x GPU but given costs my father has given me the old 3850 as a GPU to get the machine working as there are no integrated graphics with these components. Since building the machine I have two concerns.
Mouse stutter - The mouse stutters slightly when moving across the screen, not on every occasion but it appears to be getting more frequent. The mouse works fine on my old laptop and the driver is up to date. I have now tried 3 different USB ports but am still seeing a slight stutter, any idea what may be causing this?
Black screens - The GPU is working fine to display Windows but during gameplay it has had issues. I played GTR2 last night for about an hour with no problems at all on medium settings. I have also managed to play NFS Shift on medium settings for half an hour. However several other games have caused issues (Race 07, Sim City, GT Legends) when playing these games (again on medium settings) I get 5 minutes in and the screen goes blank. My monitor goes to sleep and the GPU fan starts spinning at 100%. Temperatures inside the case seem absolutely fine so I do not believe it is overheating. I have checked that the drivers are up to date and they are. That is about the limit of my knowledge. As I say this is my first ever build and I am still relatively novice with these things. Does anyone have any ideas? I have seen some suggestions whilst searching online about a faulty rail on the PSU maybe causing this but using windows for hours does not cause issues and some other games seem fine so I am very much scratching my head.
