For anyone on PC, what audio setup are you using? I'm currently using an audio interface with a separate mic and IEMs, but I'm thinking of simplifying things. I'm considering going to a good USB mic with built-in controls/monitoring and ditching the interface. What do you guys use, USB mic with no interface, separate mic + interface, or a combination of both? Interested to hear what works best for gaming/Discord.
So me and a friend are searich for a solution, repairing his Grapfic Card KFA2 RTX 2080 OC, one of the fans making weird noises and clicking sounds and we wanted to replace it, the thing is we are beginners and didnt find any good or same device that we can fix it in
I bought an old Doom DVD for PC, but the Steem code has already been used. Are there any illegitimate ways to start the game?
Hey folks, I’m new here but need some help. My pc has recently been crashing whilst gaming and it’s important to note this is across multiple games. SSD has been swapped out and so has the gpu and the issue still persists. When the pc crashes no crash report is produced and the system can’t repair itself. I was wondering if anyone could offer some help as I don’t know much about pcs, please ask as many questions as possible. Windows has also been reinstalled. The game will slow for about a minute before crashing and frames drop to 30 from about 90-120.
Hello everyone i bought some cheap bluechip pc i wanted to swap the motherboard to my old case i start it up and i get a fatal error case intrude because there was some button controlling if the case was closed or not which is not present on my case and now i wonder how i can bypass this
Hey everyone,
I'm getting constant crashes while playing Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on PC and I haven't been able to fully resolve it. The main crash error I get is DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG, which triggers an AMD driver timeout.
System Specs:
What's happening: The game randomly freezes and crashes back to the desktop with the driver timeout notification. It happens during gameplay or loading transitions, sometimes even before starting a game
Things I've already tried:
Has anyone with a similar AMD setup found a permanent fix or specific Adrenalin setting that stops this driver hang? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!
I tried several things to go to into bios but won't boot there and shows a black screen.
so I installed Windows UEFI CA 2023 in secure boot for a reason, and now my pc skips the motherboard logo and bios and straight load windows. I have an intel cpu i7 9700 which have integrated graphics.
I have a laptop with an Intel core 5 210H cpu and wondering what would be the consequences if I disable multithreading or is disabling it even a good option?.
The reason I am considering it is because of the Far Cry 5 game loading screen issue and the fix for that loading issue is disabling the Multithreading.
If you have knowledge about the Multithreading stuff please help me.
Yesterday while browsing YouTube my PC randomly BSOD'd with "FAULTY_HARDWARE_CORRUPTED_PAGE", so I checked ram with MemTest86 and passed with no errors, tested my SSD as well and reinstalled GPU drivers, After a couple hours, my PC BSOD'd again with "SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION".
At this point I was desperate because I really needed my PC so I fed Gemini the .dmp and event viewer logs as well as everything I had already tried. It told me to lower the RAM frequency from 3200MHz to 2933MHz, and sure enough the BSOD's have seemingly stopped.
AI's explanation is that the Ryzen IMC had degraded and could no longer run my RAM at its rated EXPO speed, even though I have had this setup running fine for 8 months and this CPU can apparently handle 3600MHz? So how could this happen out of the blue? Has something like this happened to anyone else? Maybe MoBo issue? Silicon lottery?

Hello, whenever Im tabbed in, or clicked into a game my youtube video starts becoming jittery, consistant small stutters 24/7 whatever I do. Ive tried turning off the gpu acceleration it just makes it worse, Ive tried to have it on, changed performance settings etc etc. I really cant figure out whats causing it, its insanely annoying cause instantly when I click the windows button and it tabs out of the game it becomes super smooth.
This started happening recently like 2 days ago. Booted battlefield 6, and noticed my background apps were freezing while the game was running as normal. The pic is taken when the game was open and other games do the same thing. After playing for a few minutes my PC hard crashed and rebooted. I had gpu overclock but even disabling it still the same.
Game is installed on SSD E:
I bought a flex subscription from NZXT. The computer was working fine for 6 months. Now the computer doesnt stay on very long before it overheats and shuts down. (Maybe 5 mins if I am lucky.) I reached out to their support and of course it said it could be a few days before I hear back. The cpu temp quickly gets to 115⁰ and then shuts down. I have made sure all vents are cleared and dust free. All fans turn on and run at max speed right away. The aio pump seems to be running. I can feel liquid running through both pipes. One stays pretty cold, the other is warm. I replaced the thermal paste and made sure the pump was securely against the cpu. It made no difference. After only a few minutes it shuts down. No load or anything running. At max it has like 12% cpu usage while sitting idle. Any suggestions on things I could troubleshoot or look into first until I hear back from their support? Thanks.

Hi all,
I have had issues for years with my PC downloading games and it constantly dropping to 0% and I couldn't figure out why most likely just like you reading this now.
Just so you know too, I have a 1gig internet connection and installing games on a 1TB SSD.
I have the following setup so it should be running fine
AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor
NZXT Kraken X63 98.17 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Gigabyte X570 AORUS ELITE ATX AM4 Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory
Samsung 970 Evo 500 GB M.2-2280 PCle 3.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive - C drive
Seagate Barracuda Compute 2 TB 3.5" 7200 RPM Internal Hard Drive - D drive
Western Digital Blue SN570 1 TB M.2-2280 PCle 3.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive - E drive
Sapphire NITRO+ Radeon RX 9060 XT 16 GB Video Card
NZXT H510 ATX Mid Tower Case
Corsair RM750 (2019) 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
Honestly I am not going to lie, I have tried multiple things too.
I have watched youtube videos, read posts on reddit, searched copilot and also followed guides on the internet such as Toms Hardware or whatever. I have followed these to a tee but nothing ever worked for me
The steps you have most likely also tried too are as followed
But none of these have ever worked for me or maybe they have but for like a minute or so.
Well anyway after all this time I had never thought it could be the drives that would cause this because nowhere I had ever read mentioned drives one. Not one single post, so I thought why not I would give it a try and low and behold this genuinely is the answer to the issue and I will give all of my findings below and the reasons why.
But if you are having this issue, please, double check your Task manager to see what your % is at and if it is maxing out because this could be the reason.
This is what my downloads were like on my E drive (What I usually install my games on)
And you may be thinking STFU because on EA launcher who GOG it installs fine. I quote a post I have seen before "Epic Games is downloading and installing just fine at very high speeds, it got 50GB at 700+ Mbps sustained for the whole duration of the download then installed pretty fast. The drive can withold that much data for very long, it was reading 125MB/s usage in the task manager and 70MB/s in Epic games. In steam it barely went over 10 MB/s, so I believe the 100% usage reading is a false alarm or something."
But yeah this is what my downloads were like on my E drive
Now compare this to my C drive
Check out the Active time, Average response times and write speeds on both cards.
It's crazy and I couldn't believe the difference.
It turns out the SN570 is known for having a small SLC cache, No DRAM and low sustained write speeds. Once that cache fills, the drive drops to HDD‑tier write speeds (5–20 MB/s) which at the time of buying I honestly had no clue
Everyone, I hope this does help some people and please when buying double or even triple check out the specs.
I believe I am going to swap out my Western Digital Blue SN570 1 TB M.2-2280 PCle 3.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive - E drive for a Crucial T710
Here are a few that might be worth checking out if you are having these issues but again check out the specs and I can't be 100% on these as I don't own them but maybe if you do have them hopefully you can confirm they are good or help people buy some
All of these have:
TLDR
My Steam downloads drop to 0% and the fix for me was my SSD because the Western Digital Blue SN570 1 TB M.2-2280 PCle 3.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive is known for having a small SLC cache, No DRAM and low sustained write speeds. Once that cache fills, the drive drops to HDD‑tier write speeds (5–20 MB/s)
I have been having this problem ever since i started getting high refresh rate monitors. Whenever I am playing a game, especially a FPS game, moving my mouse side to side causes what I first thought was motion blur, then thought was ghosting, but now I think it's sample and hold blur?
It looks like when you move your cursor too fast and it has a trail of like 7 other cursors behind it, but for every texture in games when I move my mouse side to side. It's especially bad in CS2 and R6
The only thing that makes it better is lowering my sens but in CS2 especially it's getting so low that aiming is hard
It genuinely hurts to look at sometimes and just feels off. I don't think it can be motion blur or ghosting because of the response time of my monitor, but this can't be intended
I wish I could take a video of it but my camera can only record in 60fps and it doesn't capture it.
Monitor is Asus XG27AQDMG
Specs are
Ryzen 7 7700, 9060xt 16gb, 32gb ram, gigabyte b650m c v3-y1. This is a prebuilt from sky tech that I bought off new egg.
Any time I try to launch an UE5 game it crashes on launch. Sometimes it gets to the title screen but then crashes there. If it gets to the title screen and freezes I can still hear sound and no inputs are being sent (I can't hear the menu changes [I use controller ])
When this happens, im basically forced to reboot, sometimes even needing to hold the power button in.
It'll "close" in task manager, but steam and game pass shows that the game is still stuck running in the background somehow and I can't close/launch it.
I'm pretty sure explorer or something crashes because at this point task manager now won't close properly anymore.
Something must've broke at some point because I was able to originally play pal world and one day this all started to happen.
This also happens on a clean install of windows with game pass and whatever game I'm trying being among the first things I download.
I stress tested my GPU heaven benchmark and it ran through it great and I didn't get any errors.
Currently testing my CPU and ram with Occt and over halfway through with no errors so far.
I've tried a clean windows install, updating drivers, doing the entire ddu process offline and safe mode, setting the min/max of my GPU to 99% (idr the exact settings name), updating BIOS. Probably more things that I attempted that I forget.
I'm almost at a point I'm wanting to downgrade to windows 10 and giving that a shot.
I play on the PC
I don't know whats the reason, I am using a xbox1 controller and after a few minutes of playing, whenever I move my joystick, everything becomes laggy. The games itself, but also all sound (YouTube, Discord, Ingame). When I unplug and replug my controller it gets better but after a minute it starts the same problems again. I tried using another usb slot already, but that doesn't help.
Any Ideas?
So I recently got my first gaming laptop and this is the first time of me using a system with a dedicated GPU and I wanna know how to not allow these apps to run on these and rather use integrated GPU to save power.
I've recently come into ownership of both an M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure (10 Gbps Transfer), and an 'Ezekers' External Hard Drive, both with just shy of 512GB of storage.
Since I no longer need them for their initial use, I was wondering which of the two would serve best as an external hard drive for storing some of my Steam games?
Any help or insights would be deeply appreciated!!
I have Minecraft FPS over 100 on average without v-sync but the game does not feel smooth at all. My monitor is 1080p 60Hz and does not have G-Sync or FreeSync. I tried turning on Nvidia Fast V-Sync, but since I use shaders, my FPS drops below 120 sometimes and it makes the tearing worse. Whenever I try to cap the FPS either in game or through Nvidia settings or by enabling V-Sync, my 1 percent lows tank down to around 30 FPS and it lags crazy. It happens when I don't use any shader too. If I leave the FPS unlimited, the 1 percent lows stay high but I get screen tearing. How can I get a smooth experience on my rig?
I don't have this problem in any other games like Cyberpunk 2077, Shadow of the Tomb Raider with v-sync on.
These are the mods I use:
My system:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700
RAM: 32 GB DDR4 3200MHz
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (11 GB)
1TB NVME SSD
Thank you in advance for your help!

EDIT: I fixed the problem using scanline sync on RTSS, it caps my fps and keeps 1 percent lows high.
I'm trying to figure out an issue with running games at a locked 30 FPS.
My monitor is 60 Hz and I don't have G-Sync or FreeSync.
When I cap the game to 30 FPS using RTSS, I get noticeable screen tearing. However, if I enable V-Sync either in the game or through the NVIDIA Control Panel, the tearing disappears, but I get microstutters / occasional juddering, even though the FPS is locked at a stable 30.
I've tried both in-game V-Sync and NVIDIA Control Panel V-Sync, but neither feels completely smooth.
I know that 30 FPS isn't ideal for everyone, but personally I don't mind playing at 30 FPS if it allows me to use higher graphics settings and better visual quality. I'd rather have a stable 30 FPS with the best image quality possible than 60+ FPS with significantly reduced graphics settings.
So what would be the best way to achieve properly smooth 30 FPS on a 60 Hz monitor without G-Sync/FreeSync?
Is there a specific RTSS + NVIDIA Control Panel + in-game V-Sync configuration that would give the best frame pacing and eliminate both tearing and microstuttering?
