Hi all,
I am new to the forum and to be honest compuyers altogether. I have recently purchased a gaming pc for him from ebay (I don't have a massive amount of money) but I feel like I am been left high and dry almost (possibly my fault for not understanding properly but I was hoping for some advise from here.
The pc which was advertised as a gaming pc has the following:
Vibox case (with green lights and temp readout thing)
Motherboard: gigabyte ga-78lmt-usb3
AMD FX-6350
Geforce 1050 (I believe the nvidia as only 2 gb)
Toshiba HDWD110 1tb HDD
No SSD as apparently this was not part of the sale
Now the point of the PC was so my son can play fortnite but everytime he loads it up the game crashes after a minute or 2. I have updated the drivers, tried changing the compatibility, lowered the res, updated Windows 10, tried verifying the files and a few other things.
When I tried to run OpenHardware Monitor initially with the help of a friend who is good with PCs (gamer but we currently have covid) the OpenHardware Monitor repeatedly crashed.
I have left it alone for now as I don't know what I am doing really and he can play roblox on it so is OK atm but in the mean time I have been looking at the various components and they do not appear to be very compatible for gaming.
I contacted the buyer and he said getting an SSD will help with the super slow boot up time (sometimes 10-15 minites) and will also help with the gaming aspect but my friend does not think it would help with the crashing.
Any advise would be appreciated and sorry for the long post
