Hello everyone.
I´ve recently finished building a new Pc but have lately been experiencing a lot of problems in all of my games and I´m not quite sure what the cause might be.
The Rig features new parts apart from the Gpu which is an old gtx 670 I had lying around for some time now and an old Medion monitor which leads me to believe that either are causing the issue.
The problems I´ve encountered while playing games include:
  • Freezing the game
  • Freezing the entire Pc
  • Crashing to desktop
  • Blackscreening only to come back as a pixelated mess
My specs:
  • Intel i7 9700k 3.6ghz (no oc)
  • Asus rog strix z390e gaming
  • Corsair vengenance lpx ddr4 3200 16gb (no oc)
  • Nvidia gtx 670 2gb (no oc)
  • Silverstone strider gold s series 850W
  • Windows 10 pro 64bit
  • Medion md 20094
Help with this problem is appreciated.
 
Solution
Monitor wouldn't cause things to freeze.

Have you tested the system RAM for 24 hours on Prime95 Blend (probably would help to remove the GTX670 during this test and just run on the IGP.
