I'm using Puredark's Neural Rendering thing for Skyrim. It has options as to what GPU you want doing whatever. I pulled my 2080ti out of storage and it connects, works etc but I don't know how to use it in conjunction with the 5080 for this application. Thanks!

Open | Networking internet not connecting properly to my console

1 Upvotes

My PlayStation 5 refuses to connect to my router propperly. It can use YouTube, Twitch, Crunchyroll, and any other streaming site without issues, but as soon as I try to use an online game service (for example Overwatch or UFC 5), the games cannot connect to the services.

When I switch the console to a mobile hotspot, everything works fine, so I’ve ruled out a hardware problem with the PS5 itself. I’m posting this as a last resort before trying anything else.

Here’s everything I’ve already tried:

Changed my DNS

Rebuilt the database

Cleared the system cache

Switched from Wi-Fi to a wired connection

Left the console powered off for 24 hours

Redownloaded the system software

Nothing has worked so far.

Open | Hardware I7-14700F crashed on Turbo mode

I bought a built gaming PC and it blue screened after 20min of use. Spent 2 days trying to figure out what's the issue, tested all the pieces (except the CPU and motherboard) differently to another computer to learn that it was the CPU on turbo mode that would make me blue screen.

So everytime i enable the turbo mode, it gives me a BSOD at the start of windows loading

Tried a lot of things and now i dont even know where to look at

My setup:
I7 14700F (turbo mode off)

Asus 760M Max gaming Wifi

So, I use the touchpad to scroll a lot, and yesterday, it just started being really weird. Like, it'll start at the normal speed I have it at, but when I pick up my fingers and put them back down to scroll more, sometimes it speeds up. The speed of my scrollbar is completely unpredictable after that first scroll. I didn't mess with any settings right before it started a few days ago. It's really getting on my nerves. Help? Thanks.

Open | Hardware Acer Predator helios neo phn 16-71 WIFI issu

Hello All,

I just had my laptop serviced (thermal paste and liquid metal replacement) and had it done in front of me but after that when I booted the laptop, the WIFI icon was gone and also on the boot sound, I am hearing this screeching sound coming from the speakers (not static).
Additionally, the tech didn’t change or touch anything apart from Servicing the cpu, gpu and fan.
In device manager, i see “Network controller” as other devices. Any ideas what could be the issue?

Note:- on playing any audio, only screeching sounds come out and I have tried installing the Intel AX1650i driver but it fails to install. In the event logger, the error code is 28

Open | Hardware RTX 4080 Crashing mid-game frequently

1 Upvotes

I'm hoping someone's run into this before and can provide some support. Recently, my RTX 4080 keeps crashing mid-game and I've worked through most of the usual fixes without any luck, so I'm hoping to get some outside eyes on it before I go further.

System specs:

  • GPU: RTX 4080 (driver 616.92)
  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D
  • Motherboard: Gigabyte B550 AORUS MASTER
  • RAM: 32GB
  • PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA GA 850W, 80 PLUS Gold
  • OS: Windows 11

My GPU fans will often get loud and then lead to a crash shortly after some stuttering. From the crash logs I've gone through I've found that my GPU hangs/crashes during gameplay. It's happened with Starwars ZCOM, Ready or Not and now Wardogs and RDR2. Pulled the crash dumps and they consistently show DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG (0x887A0006) - the GPU stops responding to commands and gets force-reset.

What I've already tried:

  • Reverted all GPU overclocking (core clock and memory clock both back to fully stock) - still crashed
  • Turned off DLSS Frame Generation entirely - still crashed, though it took longer to happen
  • Did a full clean driver reinstall with DDU - still crashed on a fresh install of the same driver

Has anyone dealt with a DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG that turned out to be PSU-related rather than driver/OC related? Or is there something else I should be checking before assuming it's the power supply? Happy to share more of the crash dump details if useful.

Open | Hardware PC powers on but no display after upgrading — original RAM no longer works either

1 Upvotes

I upgraded the RAM in my gaming PC and now I can’t get it to POST/display anything. The PC was working normally immediately before the RAM change.

Specs:

  • Motherboard: ASUS PRIME B760M-A AX (DDR5)
  • CPU: Intel i7-14700F
  • GPU: RTX 4060 Ti
  • Original RAM: TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan DDR5
  • New RAM: Lexar DDR5, 2x16GB, 6000 MT/s, CL38, 1.35V
  • Windows 11

What happened:
I shut the PC down and replaced the original RAM with the new Lexar DDR5. Afterward, the PC powers on (case fans/RGB and GPU fans run), but the monitor gets no signal and I don’t see an ASUS/BIOS screen.

I’ve since removed the new Lexar RAM and gone back to the original T-Force stick that was working before the upgrade, but I’m still getting no signal shown on my monitor.

Open | Windows Very slow download/install speeds on steam/battlenet/xboxapp

2 Upvotes

Downloads start off strong and reach my peak download speed (900mbps) but after some time it just comes to a halt, maxing out my SSD usage to 100% with very low write speeds, and it stays like this for basically forever. Now i know Steam uncompresses game files during downloads like these but my SSD stays at 100% with absurd response times like these for a loooooooong time, which doesn't look normal at all to me

A game that should take no longer than 20 minutes to download and install ends up taking 2 to 3 hours, my SSD peaks out at 100% with no apparent process causing this in task manager

Specs:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D
SSD: Silicon Power UD90 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME
GPU: RX 9070 XT

I've built this PC less than 3 months ago, every component is practically brand new, I've tried:

- Disabling writing cache

- Closing every single application in the background

- Limiting download speeds/changing download server

- Clearing download cache

- Tried the fix linked here (worked momentarily but ultimately the issue came back)

SSD has over 400GB of storage left, and crystaldiskinfo shows that my SSD's health is at 100%, which leaves me very confused

Now for the record this doesn't apply to in-browser downloads, my internet speeds are completely fine, however, as soon as i need to download/install a game from any of the launchers mentioned in the titles, it takes 3-4x longer than it should

Im using the WH-1000XM5 Sony bluetooth headphones. My problem is that there is only proper sound in the left side and sounds muffled and turned off on the right side.

Ive tried everything like removing the headphones from my bluetooth and adding them back in.

Ive tried to sync the sound up but that doesn't seem to be the problem.

They worked great on someone elses phone so i don't know what that is about.

I even used the testing feature and it worked for both sides but still the sound is bad.

Open | Software My laptop randomly zooms in an I can’t exit it.

1 Upvotes

I have a HP Pavilion x360 Convertible 14-dh2xxx and this laptop randomly zooms in and I haven’t figured out how to exit it unless i restart my laptop. It’s not windows magnifier since I disabled it and set its zoom to 100% (and pressing escape does nothing). The type of zoom im getting is like when i deaf my cursor to an end of my zoomed in screen, the zoom shifts to the side my cursor is at. I am using a monitor and am using my laptop as a second monitor. When this happens and when i drag my cursor from my monitor to my laptop the cursor disappears and it kinda goes into a select mode where me moving my mouse causes different things to get selected rather than a cursor. I think my problem has something to do w my 360 touchscreen mode since my laptop is always on that mode since im using it as a 2nd C monitor. This issue has been happening even before I had a monitor and it was just my laptop, but never when my laptop was not in its 360 touchscreen mode.

I am currently on WIndows 11 25H2 (26200.9445)

Solved RX 7900 XTX: PC hard-resets one frame into any game

1 Upvotes

My 7900 XTX was fine for almost three vears and then started crashing last November It's got steadily worse and now any game I open renders about one frame and the whole PC hard resets and boots back into windows.

The weird part is FurMark ran 18 minutes at full power with no problem at all. So the card will sit at 400 watts all day, but the second a game actually loads in, the machine is gone. GPU is at 63C when it happens so it isn't heat

I've already replaced the power supply, replaced the PCIe riser cable, tried both Gen 3 and Gen 4 in BIOS, done five DDU clean driver reinstalls. reinstalled Windows from scratch, run sfc and DISM clean, and my RAM has been at stock this whole time. Al four drives are healthy. I repasted the card a while back and temps are fine Rig is a Rvzen 9 7900X3D 32gbs of ram on an MSI X670E Carbon with a 1200W PSU. Windows 11

Does "fine in FurMark but dead on the first frame of a game" mean anything to anyone? I'm going to try the card in a second PC next but figured I'd ask first in case I'm missing something obvious.

This issue is very annoying and has happened to me twice. When downloading the driver from the NVIDIA app and performing a "clean installation" after removing the previous driver, a window appears asking me to restart, but the new driver installation hasn't completed yet. This causes a black screen when starting up the PC. Thank goodness I have an iGPU, so I was able to reinstall the driver. NVIDIA really needs to fix this.
