| Computer suddenly very sluggish. Not sure where the issue is. Posted: 16 Apr 2021 11:40 AM PDT
My computer very suddenly (like fine one day, horrible next) became sluggish doing any task. Booting up, file explorer, browsing, gaming. Even when idle, everything feels like I'm on a computer from 1990. I'm not entirely sure what's going on. Things I've tried:
Every one of these looked fine to me. No issues, yet my computer is extremely sluggish. In games it flips between high FPS and low FPS constantly (every few seconds), not consistent at all. The ONE place I can get some sort of result was running a userbenchmark. My userbenchmark score was awful, and pointed at my CPU as a problem. Results here: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/42112455 Could this be a faulty CPU? Motherboard? PSU? I'm unsure of where to go from here. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

| Posted: 16 Apr 2021 04:47 AM PDT Ryzen 5 3600 ASRock A520M-itx/ac Noctua NH-L9a So I put everything together last night, and I can't seem to get the temps down into useable range. It seems no matter what fan profile I choose, the CPU stays around 55-65C constantly. I thought maybe there was some plastic on the heatsink or something, so I took everything apart and re-seated it all. Still idling at around 60C. For refrence, this CPU was in a different motherboard yesterday using the stock Ryzen cooler and temps were idling around 35-45C. I read that the motherboard might be auto-overclocking, but I'm not exactly sure what to turn off if that's even the case. I'm positive it's not an airflow issue, I ran the system for 45+ minutes with no sidepanel on and it didn't make a bit of difference. Any help would be much appreciated [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||

| Is the rx580 still a good card? Posted: 16 Apr 2021 08:37 AM PDT I'm currently trying to build a pc and I have a friend who will sell me his old rx 580 4GB for $200 and with today's GPU market that might be my only choice, but I was wondering if the rx 580 is still a good card in this gaming scene. The full build is below [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||
| Posted: 16 Apr 2021 05:24 AM PDT Hello everyone, this will actually be my second reddit post so pardon me if this is formatted awfully. I'm trying to build a PC and enlisted the help of my friend.
This is the build he came up with. We went the intel route so that I may be able to use the pc until I can get my hands on a rtx 3070 FE from best buy since I refuse to pay the ridiculous prices that GPUs are going for. I just want to know if this is a solid build and that there is no money being wasted. Although the budget is 1600 I wouldn't mind it being cheaper. The only thing that I really want to keep is the rtx 3070. Everything else can be swapped out for optimization. The pc will be used for gaming ( preferably at 1440p ) and school work which includes programs like CAD and Solidworks. Thank you for the help in advance. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||

| Posted: 16 Apr 2021 10:23 AM PDT Hello, I've been getting random freezes every few days on my PC for the last few months. I've ran disk checks, memtest86 with no issues. No errors from the Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool and Crystal Disk Info is saying Good 98% for my SSD. When the freeze occurs my cpu and gpu will both spike to 100% at the same time. It seems the system stops updating because I can sometimes use the mouse and keyboard but if I start typing and hold a key down only one key is registered instead of multiple of the same key when holding. Also, Task manager stops refreshing but hitting View > Refresh Now will still update it. I've done a clean install of Windows twice now, first at version 20H2 and then at version 2004. Issue still occurs. Here's a video of when the freeze occurs: https://youtu.be/Lq8D2UU38v8 Specs: 2070 super At this point I'm thinking it could be the motherboard but I'm not 100% sure. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks! [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||

| Posted: 16 Apr 2021 10:14 AM PDT So I just got a new GPU and went to switch to safe mode so I can run DDU. But now my pc won't display anything. It's on and everything is running but it won't display any image. How can I fix this? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||
| My winter build, I call it the Murder Box Posted: 16 Apr 2021 01:44 PM PDT https://imgur.com/a/K2SaUnE (album) So I finished this build shortly before Christmas '20 using a lot of luck (GPU wise) and every inch of budget I could get away with. Parts are as follows and some have been updated since original build. Don't judge me by the cables under my desk, reorganizing has been a long time comming! Monitor: Monoprice 34" Dark Matter Ultrawide (Just arrived, still testing but I like it!) Case: Thermaltake Core V1 CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 RAM: 16GB G. Skill Ripjaw 3600 MOBO: ASRock B450 Gaming-ITX/ac (the Fatal1ty branded one) GPU: RTX 3070 Cooling: Noctua NH-u9s (CPU cooler); 2x Noctua NF-A8 (80mm) for exhaust; replaced stock intake fan with Noctua NF-A20 (200mm) PSU: EVGA B5 650 W (Bronze) Etc.: 2 RGB light strips for a little definition between all the black parts Peripherals: I use the Logitech MX Master set right now since I use PC for play and Mac for work and typically work on multiple machines throughout the day. Will likely upgrade in the near future. Razer Tartarus Pro - Still defining the keys on this but so far I'm enjoying it. Originally purchased since I had the PC hooked up to the TV and started having wrist issues with the keyboard (this helped). Just got the Thrustmaster TXM Wheel and Pedals, working on building a racing sim cockpit but will have that in another room and will move the PC when I want to play on PC or Quest instead of the Xbox that it will be pretty much using most of the time. This was a huge change for racing games, really love the wheel. So, room to grow with parts I've got a specific eye on for replacement priorities (ram/cpu mainly; mobo some day; gpu never). Overall, I'm very happy with the build and it turned out better than anticipated with some help and participation from family gifts over the holidays and general assistance/generosity. Scored the RTX from a friend who got lucky at microcenter on a 3080 he wasn't even looking for. I now owe him my eternal soul for selling it to me without markup. I'm good with that.

| PC stuck on Mobo boot screen for 5-10mins, then perfectly normal after logging in to Windows 10 Posted: 16 Apr 2021 09:12 AM PDT Specs below. Main symptom is PC sits on the mobo boot logo for 5-10 minutes before finishing booting up. Once it lands on Windows 10 login screen, everything is speedy as normal. Gaming is normal, no slowdown or glitches. Doing heavy correction in Adobe Lightroom is fine, only other symptom is it has stopped responding/Lightroom crashes multiple times during the exporting photos process, and has also rarely crashed while performing edits. I've unplugged all peripherals minus PCI graphics card, also updated all Mobo chipset drivers and BIOS and the booting problem still persists. Given that the PC acts normally in GPU-intensive uses and after finishing startup (for the most part), could this be a CPU or RAM issue? Is there a way to test this theory without having replacement parts on hand? Specs: Ryzen 7 2700X 3.7GHz 8-Core Asus ROG Strix B450-I Gaming Mini ITX AM4 Motherboard G.Skill Ripjaws V series 32GB (2x16) DDR4-3200 CL16 Samsung 840 120GB SSD Crucial MX100 256GB SSD HP EX920 1TB M.2-2280 NVME SSD (boot drive) PNY Quadro P2000 5GB GPU Corsair CXM 750W 80+ Bronze Fractal Node 304 Case [link] [comments] |
