Hey all,
I've been having a ton of issues with my rig lately. I was wondering if there was a/some recommended programs I could use to check the health of the various computer parts. My specs:
-GPU: EVGA RTX 3080
-CPU: Ryzen 5800x
-Motherboard: MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk
-RAM: 32GB (16x2) of G.Skill DDR4
-Storage: 3TB of mixed storage (SSDs, NVMES)
-PSU: Corsair RM850X
-Display 1: 240hz ROG Strix XG27AQM
-Display 2: 144hz ROG Swift PG248Q
The issues:
- Previously mentioned on this thread; my graphics card randomly stutters in games/on video calls. After many weeks of frustrated testing, I think it's some sort of bad BD PROCHOT sensor. When I use AMD Ryzen Master and disable PROCHOT, the stutter goes away (though, I have to do this every time I restart my rig which is kind of annoying).
- Recently picked up Diablo 4; having tons of microstutter issues despite the graphics settings.
- Audio is also stuttering lately, both in games as well as watching random streams etc.
- The primary display (ROG Strix XG27AQM) will begin faintly flickering at random, and occasionally have a 1-2 second blackout. I haven't been able to isolate it, but have seen a couple of comments on other forums regarding this. Sometimes will happen in-game, sometimes when browsing a forum.
- Once in a blue moon, will alt-tab back into a windowed-mode game and the letters/buttons I press will be random (as in, I'll press w or e and it'll type 1 or c).
I've recently run LatencyMon and it seems there might be an issue with one of/multiple drivers. Notably nvlddmkm.sys, dxgkrnl.sys.
"Your system appears to be having trouble handling real-time audio and other tasks. You are likely to experience buffer underruns appearing as drop outs, clicks or pops. One or more DPC routines that belong to a driver running in your system appear to be executing for too long. Also one or more ISR routines that belong to a driver running in your system appear to be executing for too long. At least one detected problem appears to be network related. In case you are using a WLAN adapter, try disabling it to get better results. One problem may be related to power management, disable CPU throttling settings in Control Panel and BIOS setup. Check for BIOS updates."
I thought I had isolated the issue and was okay dealing with the faulty PROCHOT sensor, but at this point it seems like there's something wrong in multiple parts of the computer. My drivers/BIOS (I think) are all up to date and seems to have no impact. I was hoping to get some help with programs or tips for trying to isolate the issue before taking the whole computer apart and rebuilding it, replacing the motherboard, etc.
Thank you for your time!
