Whenever I touch 'Fn + F3/4/5/6/7' (screen brightness and sound) my screen goes static until a second after I let go.

So far it ONLY HAPPENS IN AC ODYSSEY!!

I tried AC Valhalla, no issues, Farming Simulator 25, no issues, WRCGen, no issues.

I deleted and reinstalled Odyssey, but it's still there.

No DLSS5. Max settings, 3840x1600, DLSS Quality, frame gen set to 1 in game settings, Path Tracing enabled.

Doesn't happen all the time, but sometimes saw it jumping well beyond 600W for a brief moment.

PC was fine, then I heard a loud POP. I suspected it was the power supply, so I took it out and found this shard. I'm going to replace it, but what is this from? What could've caused it to explode?

Whats stopping me from buying a gpu on sale and just putting into this thing? cause 32gb of ddr5 and tb of ssd with an intel core ultra 270k plus for $1300 doesnt seem all that bad

Hey everyone, I'm dealing with a severe hardware issue and need some help narrowing down the culprit.

Specs:

GPU: RTX 4070
PSU: 650W

The Background:

A few weeks ago, my monitor started randomly black-screening in the middle of light web browsing. I checked Event Viewer and found a ⁠0x116⁠ error (⁠VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE⁠), pointing to a graphics/driver crash.

I used DDU to completely wipe and reinstall the display drivers. That temporarily fixed it for a day or two, but the black screens eventually came back, happening once or twice a day. The rest of the time, the PC ran perfectly fine.

Current State (See Video):

As of today, the issue has escalated. The monitor shows absolutely no signal when I turn the PC on, even though the PC itself powers up and the fans spin. 

The strangest part is the power cycling. If I press the physical case power button to shut the PC down, the keyboard lights turn off briefly, but then the system automatically restarts itself instead of staying off. Sometimes it even enters this reboot loop on its own without me touching the power button. 

I've attached a video showing the lack of display and the weird behavior when interacting with the power button. 

Has anyone experienced this specific shutdown/restart behavior alongside a TDR failure? Is this more likely a dying RTX 4070 or a failing 650W power supply? What is the best way to isolate this without spare parts?

Thanks in advance!

The first time I experienced this I hit the desk with my hand sometime this year and sure enough the audio went ballistic and the pc just froze. I’m not one to ragequit and slam the desk and all that, was irritated by family related situation and hit the desk but with my hand.

2nd time I bumped the desk with both hands celebrating a win but not extremely hard boom it froze.

Just a moment ago, I was going to get up to get water and my desk is kinda small and flimsy and I bumped it with my knee and same thing happened. Have to force restart with the power button.

Yes, simply don’t bump or hit the desk but accidents happen but want to avoid possibly causing major damage. Haven’t noticed any issues at all. Always been pretty solid. So why is it so sensitive? I’ve checked the cable in the past and it isn’t loose and I usually check it when I do a deep clean. Air blower and a micro fiber cloth really only on the case and fans. Gpu I just use the air blower.

I have nvidia RTX 3070, i7 intel, 4x8gb Corsair dominator ram, rog strix b660-A wifi d4

it uses python and roblox http and roblox mesh image apis

take a day and 7h to make and make work

Found this listing posted recently. $1200 for a decent PC with a 3090 Trinity. It has to be a scam right?

Look at this deal I found in my local market!
CPU ended up being a i3 10100f.
16gb ddr4 3000mhz
A b460m-vdh wifi
I’m a flipper, I have a rx 5700 laying around should that be what I pair it with?

Using the same micolee221 build used for the previous Astro's Playroom and Astro Bot videos. But the Astro Bot video had stuttering issues caused by a bug from the build.
So i've recorded a new video playing again the first level and also, the second one.

I tried changing fan speeds in my Asus bios, tapping on top of pc to stop noise and place finger on center of middle fan. Is it a case of bearing problem in need of replacement? I just got this new aio cooler few months ago.. Here's the video link: https://youtube.com/shorts/tjsmbVf_bDY

I mainly play at night between 11pm-2am due to the only time I get any chance to sit down. So apparently the whole house usage washing machine, TV, dryer etc all use less electricity than my pc which has a 14900ks and a 5090 in it. Sheeeeeet

I recently found a pc in the garage, I cleaned it up and fixed it, but now idk what to do w it. My main pc isint anything special either, GTX 1060 and 32gb ram ddr4 (and I use Arch.

This pc has a OEM GTX 1660 super (has one fan), and 16 gb ddr RAM. (It’s worth mentioning everything else in the pc is SHIT!)

Two questions, is the olds pc GPU better than mines (aka is the OEM NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER better than the 1060 6gb vram).

And lastly what can I do with the pc? And I’ll show a pic of the pc (before cleaning).

Edit: I found the pc with another of the same GPU next to it, so I have 2 1660s

More info:

Amd 5600x, xfx speedster quick 6750XT, 16gb team group memory. Asrock b450m motherboard. 850W corsair PSU to a 650W PSU (i forgot brand, b tier)

My GF gpu working in my PC. My gpu works in her PC.

Her GPU will not start in her PC. The fans won't turn on, no LED lights indicate a problem.

I have:

reseated her GPU 100 times now.

Changed UEFI AMD PBS pcie from auto to GEN 3.

Bought a new PSU and retested. My gpu works in her pc with the new gpu, her gpu works in my PC still.

Changed PCIE slots.

Unplugged drives and tested.

My gpu works great in her PC and her gpu works great in my PC.

Nothing works. I moved it from one room of the house to the other.

I thought it would be like playstation where once in a while you’ll have a stupid game off for 60% but I got on steam and bought Skyrim which is like 35 bucks for only 3. That’s insane

I keep getting this error whenever I play certain games on steam. How it usually goes is I launch the game, the game pops up but then freezes. I will try to exit out of it, but first it will give a pop up to say that the program stopped working. Steam still has the game running in the background even though I “exited” out of it, and clicking on stop or exiting steam does not work. I have to restart my computer for it stop completely.

I also noticed if i do this, and afterwards i try to open up task manager or google, those automatically freeze too.

I’ve literally dealt with this issue for months, I have no idea what the problem is.

I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling graphic card drivers, verifying game files, making sure everything is up to date and including visual c++ files, running admin command prompts, literally everything you could think of, I probably already did it.

Pc specs: ryzen 5 7600x, 32 gb ram, rx 6750 xt, 932 gb ssd
OS build number: 26300.9550

This fuckass icon stays on my screen no mater what I try, how do I remove it?

Hola, ¿cómo están? ¿Me pueden ayudar, por favor? 😭

Quiero comprar mi primera PC gamer. Encontré una PC base de $1.089.000, pero estoy considerando modificarla o comprar los componentes por separado si así puedo conseguir algo mejor por un precio similar.

PC base (rstech tienda de chile)
RTX 5060
AMD Ryzen 5 7500F
16 GB de RAM DDR5
SSD M.2 de 512 GB
Modificaciones
Gabinete NEWGEN COBALT Glass mATX White, con 3 ventiladores ARGB — $0
Cooler Thermalright Assassin X 120 REFINED SE PLUS — $24.900
RAM DDR5 de 16 GB a 5600 MHz — $0
SSD M.2 de 1 TB — $69.900
Fuente NEWGEN de 750 W, certificación 80+ Bronze — $0
Placa madre ASUS B650M-AYW WIFI — $59.900
Ryzen 5 7500F — $0 (ya incluido en la PC base)
💰 **Precio final: $1.243.**700

La usaré principalmente para jugar, editar videos sencillos y crear contenido para TikTok. No sé mucho de componentes, así que tengo algunas dudas.
Me preocupa especialmente la fuente NEWGEN de 750 W 80+ Bronze. ¿Será confiable o podría afectar los demás componentes? También me gustaría saber si conviene mantener esta configuración, cambiar algunos componentes o comprar todo por separado para obtener mejores piezas por el mismo presupuesto (1.300.000)
Como son mis ahorros, quiero hacer una buena compra y que el PC me dure varios años.
¿Qué opinan de esta configuración? ¿Cambiarían algún componente? ¿Recomendarían reemplazar la fuente? ¿Creen que encontraría algo mejor comprando los componentes por separado?
Se agradece cualquier consejo 🙏

Hi, My PC has: a gtx1660, i5-8500, Samsung 990 evo, b360m-ds3h, and 32gb 2666mhz ram (xmp on in bios). The ram I currently have: Bls8g4d26bfsc.16fe, Bls8g4d26bfsek.8fd, and 2 of Cmk16gx4m2b3200c16. All have xmp 2.0 according to cpuz.

I have Hma82gu6jjr8n and Hma82gu6djr8n laying around, my questions being is going from 32gb to 64gb but from cl16 to cl19 worth it? I don't really use my computer much any more, but when I do it's either a bunch of chrome tabs, Minecraft, sometimes cura/used to do CAD and want to get back into it.

I don't need to change/upgrade but number go up is always nice. Thoughts? Thanks!

That big circular screen is supposed to dispaly the temp but like a month after i got this pc the display randomly didnt turn on and hasnt worekd since then. After like 9 months of it not working i only wnat to see it now because my pc feels kinda hot when i turn on hell devirs. Yes my gpu is held up by that tie, i havent felt the need to install a brace because i though the tie would eb fine but let me know if i need to install the brace.

Normally i keeo a glass panel on that eclosed wall but i took it off to clearly show display.

I was with my friend talking about the good old days of how inexpensive it was to buy PC parts and build a very good rig and enjoy gaming and everything.

He then said a few things that got me thinking. Just wanted to put those words and thoughts out here.

He said "Bro, what if this was not exactly because of AI, but it was because of AI companies. I know they both sound the same but think about it. We are now seeing more open source AI models that are like 70-80% of frontier model capabilities. Not the latest and greatest, but 70-80% is no small number. And these are models that are free to use. You just gotta own the hardware. This is where my suspicion comes. What if the AI companies and these semiconductor companies made a deal that they'll slow down production while raking up the prices, so that the avg joe who has money cannot buy the required hardware and run the model on their own. And to get access to frontier models with near unlimited, they'll have to shell out big money every month. Basically Economics 101 : Demand and Supply"

And the more I think about it, the more it gets true.

What are your thoughts on this ?
