Question freeze

[''T6C]

My computer works stably in most games, but in some games (Mafia definitive edition..) have instantaneous freezes.(When it happens, it doesn't repeat all the time.)
Does this mean there is a problem with the computer? Or can we say normal?
A minor failure with a mechanical machine is a major problem.I don't know whether this freezing can cause some problems on computer or not.

my system:
asus tuf b550 plus
gtx 1070
ryzen 5 5600x
16 gb ram

I solved a lot of games freezing lately by doing whats already been suggested. I upgraded my storage. I use a 250Gb Nvme which I use for my C drive. The only thing on it is windows 10 and any files that require being on the C drive. I've got all my games on a 1tb Nvme, all my rgb software and other miscellaneous programs/files on 2 other ssds. I repasted my gpu and saw a 5 degree drop in temperature (it never goes above 69 now) which helps keep higher clock speeds which means less stuttering. I'm also using a 1070. Why is your monitor plugged in to the display port on the motherboard? It should be connected to the graphics card. I had an issue with games crashing due to a bad aio as well. Are you liquid cooling or air cooling your cpu?

I spelled it wrong, the cable is plugged into the video card.
I can't afford to buy a new ssd.In this situation, the games will remain on the hdd.
If my problem is really like you said, I can buy a new ssd, but now I will try to solve the problem in software.(reinstalling the drivers)

For the time being you can try moving one of the games during which you experience the freeze to the SSD and see if that resolves it. You don't have to move all of them.

There's not much free space on the SSD? You know you shouldn't fill any drive to the brim and especially SSDs work much better and live longer if there's some overprovisioning. That is you leave some 10% free space on them.

Anyway I would move a game that freezes to the SSD and see if that solves it. Just to make sure before you can get a larger SSD.

I will try what you said.also I'm freezing on the desktop, how can I solve it?

ı have one last questıon,i have an ups and pc is connected to it .ups features:
Power Boost B-1000VA 1000VA Line interactive Ups (UPS-B1000VA-01)

input:220 v 50hz output:220 v 50hz(only computer connected )
and UPS is 10 years old and it's been 3 months since I changed the battery.The computer reaches a maximum of 400 watts. Does UPS cause problems?

 

[Satan-IR]

You mean if the UPS is causing the PC to have issue?

The 1000VA UPS is about 600-700W (almost700W, maybe more like 600-650W). If it is in good working condition it's enough for 400W to maintain it for a few minutes and proper shutdown, especially with new batteries as you said you replaced recently. I doubt it would cause problems.

Anyway you want to make sure omit the UPS and plug the PC directly into wall outlet and operate it for a while. See if there are any changes to how PC behaves/works.

 

[Satan-IR]

That wattage from a UPS depends on the power factor and also type of load. It's usually around 0.6 to 0.67 which is usually the case with inductive loads of this type.

So to be more accurate I think the UPS can handle 600-670W, provided it's in good working condition.

You said it's 10 years old so you might want to check with the manufacturing company, if it needs to be tested to verify its capacity maybe?

Yes

I'll try and write.

It might be right to test because it's an old power supply.thanks for helping.

Seagate ST1000DM010 1tb Is this HDD cmr?

Is it suitable for the game?

Seagate ST1000DM010 1tb Is this HDD cmr?

Is it suitable for the game?

Yes according this datasheet for some drives on Seagate's website here it is a CMR drive. Last page, page 3.

Apparently in that series/line of Barracuda drives the 500GB and the 1TB drives are CMR and larger drives, 2TB to 8TB are all SMR.

I will buy this hard drive, do you recommend it?(Seagate ST1000DM010 1tb)

Yes why not. Any CMR drive should operate better than a SMR one as a system drive and for gaming and would most probably resolve the freezes if those are indeed just storage-related which I think they are.

I would personally prefer an SSD for Windows (system drive) and even for games. It won't affect gameplay in terms of more frames per second but would reduce Windows boot time, installation times, game load times and in-game load times of textures and new maps/leves so on.
