I got a good PC build that runs COD at 180 FPS but when it’s come to Madden, I have bad lag that makes it so you can’t react and I get some crazy audio issues through my speakers where it will cut out or start blaring a loud static noise. It’s done this for both Madden 24 & 25, but I’ve never had issues with the hundreds of other games I’ve played. Anyone got any advice?

I just recently built a new PC and depending on the game the screen will cut to black and the GPU fans will ramp up to 100%. I'm still able to hear my friends in discord for a minute and then I'll need to hard power off. I've clean installed the drivers, removed the GPU and put it back in. Did the same for the ram. Even replaced the PSU with a new one and it's still happening. I'm at a total loss for what could be the issue. It's definitely not overheating or anything in that manner.

So I'm building a computer to sell and when i was running Fortnite at medium settings i got suddenly kicked from the game and it blue screened. Its a Ryzen 5 2600 with a gtx 1060 6gb and 16gb of ram at 3200 with a Helios p1 600w. So the first thing i did was lower the ram speed from 3200 down to 2133 (only thing i could set it too because of bios) and lowered the settings to the low preset and it did fine with two games. and it did just fine. so i upped it to medium setting and played 2 games and it was fine again. so im thinking its the ram because ive had issues with it on my own computer at 3200. so is it the ram or something else? FYI had no issues in other games like Bo6 and helldivers.

Edit: i put the ram back up at 3200 and tried fortnite again and the game crashed with an internal error from easy anticheat.

Edit 2: lowered the settings at 3200 to low and performance mode on and it didnt crash

I saw a post about this a while back, and i'm having the same problem. Randomly my headphones play a knocking sound. Yesterday it did it very loudly and today its being quieter. Its never done this before but I'll try what the comment on the older post said. If anyone has any idea about what is going on, i'd appreciate the help :D (Update it just happened again)

Update 2: It seems removing the ability to connect to my laptop and then adding them back worked, but i'm not sure..

(Previous post I mentioned: https://www.reddit.com/r/pcgamingtechsupport/comments/18pc5f1/spoopy_knocking_sound/ )

Have tried everything from the link that epic launcher gives you and nothing helped. Does anyone else have solutions that aren't on the epic site?

(mentioned link: https://www.epicgames.com/help/en-US/c-Category_EpicGamesStore/c-EpicGamesStore_ErrorCodes/eos-err-1603-error-a000084905 )

When i tried the last step of manually adding epic online services folder and then installing, it just deletes the folder I made. (Progress bar went from nearly full to empty instead of filling up completely before closing).

recently updated windows 10 to windows 11 on the new pc + fresh install of epic games

Experiencing a sudden File system Error when trying to open Nvidia Control Panel. No clue why this is happening, but I'm aiming to increase the shader cache to get STALKER 2 to open.

I've reinstalled drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled drivers (thus control panel), ended tasks in Task Manager, I'm running out of options.

Has anyone else experienced this? I can't find any good resources on Nvidia's site as well in regards to the Control Panel. Seems odd.

I've bought a new PC about 3 Weeks ago.
Specs:

UserBenchmarks:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D - 115.4%

GPU: Nvidia RTX 4080-S (Super) - 257.6%

SSD: Lexar NM790 2TB - 342.5%

RAM: G.SKILL TZ/RJ/FX DDR5 6000 C30 2x16GB - 192.5%

MBD: Asrock B650M Pro RS

Whenever I play games, i experience microstuttering every 30-60 seconds or so. Its immensely distracting. While I play my games effortless on highest setting (usually max settings in 4k while maintaining stable 100+ fps), i experience fps drops down to like 30 or 20 for like a few milliseconds. It happens in a blink of an eye basically.

What I tried so far:
- disable any RGB on my PC

- G Sync off and On

- reinstalled Windows 11

- using 1 monitor instead of 2

- tried different/lower gaming settings (which arent the point of this PC anyway)

Im not that much into tech stuff and i really cant explain myself, what causes all of this. But im getting frustrated by now. Any ideas and suggestions?

I mostly play Final Fantasy XIV currently, which usually runs just fine in crowded areas. Ranging from 80 until 120 FPS in dungeons. Monster Hunter World also runs just fine with DLSS enable at around 120ish FPS. Other games I play occasion are Resident Evil Remakes. But same goes for them. They dont really struggle aside of the stutter.

Next big Game I wanted to play, would be Monster Hunter Wilds.

I have a problem with my video card, when I turn on the PC the fans start at maximum and not even the bios works. This problem has persisted since I disassembled the video card to replace the thermal paste. I took the card to some IT shops but they couldn't solve it, I tried to do a reflow with the heat gun but nothing helped. I recently saw that a capacitor is missing and I don't know if the problem is caused by this, Maybe when I took it apart it came off. in case it doesn't work due to the missing capacitor I would try to buy one with the same characteristics and solder it personally.

I have now a 27 inch cfg73 monitor which is 1080p 144hz VA panel monitor and I am looking to upgrade the monitor. I live in egypt so monitors are mostly expnsive and limited we dont have alot of options So the MSI G274QPX seems to have the specs I want 2k and 240 hz but I wanted to know if its good , UI mainly wanted to ask about latency and Ghosting/reverse Ghosting as these seem to be an issue from what I have seen . Also I dont know exactly what is Ghosting/reverse Ghosting.( I play mainly competetive shooters and some single player games)

whenever i alt tab or press the windows button the game just crashes and tells me to uninstall the video drivers and reinstall them (i tried and they didnt work)

my amd radeon rx 640 making too much noise when i turn it on and heating to 90°c what do i do

All my monitors are hooked up wie DP, i tried to uninstall and update the graphics drivers enable and disable SLI, checked if the DP cable is plugged in all the way and obviously rebooted my PC. Somehow noting of this helped, does anybody have an idea what else i could try?

I bought a new Asus B760M-A D4 motherboard and tested it from the seller. I have an Intel i5 12400f processor. When I returned home, installed the rest of the parts, and turned on the device, neither the Asus logo nor the Windows 10 logo appeared nor did any of the BIOS options or boot menu appear. A long beep sound appeared, followed by three short beeps. Then I opened Windows directly. I tried the option to cancel fast startup from the power options, but the attempt did not work. Due to my stupidity, I deleted the graphics card definition, and after that the screen became black without data. I tried all the solutions, knowing that the RAM works efficiently, as does the graphics card.

Hi long story short i login to Valorant then play for 30s - 1minute then it kicks me out with the message; This version of Vanguard requires you to update your operating system to XŠB00 or newer. See the vanguard notification center in the tray for more details;

i checked the tray nothing was there but the app

it is worth noting i bought this Hard drive from ebay with windows preinstalled as my current hard drive wouldn't even let me pass the boot menu.

im thinking maybe a fresh install of windows? im no expert so if this is the case could anyone point me in right direction to a tutorial or anything like that, would be great

any info would be greatly appreciated

I currently having a slight bit of trouble with my pc. I recently bought a customized pc with the following specs :

• Asus b650m-e WIFI
• Ryzen 7 7700
• Crucial Pro ddr5 ram 6000mhz 32gb (2 x 16)
• Rtx 4060 ti
• Crucial 1tb NVME SSD

During the first boot every morning, my computer posts into safe mode with this message :

"The system has POSTed in safe mode. This may be due to the previous POST attempt failing because of system instability, or if the power button was held in to force the system off. If the system failed to POST after you made changes to UEFI settings, you may wish to revert to stable settings to prevent POST failure. Press F1 to Run SETUP."

The issue is I did not force the power button off, nor did i change the UEFI settings. I did check all my bios settings to ensure they were fine, and checked to see if my ram was compatible running at EXPO I (which it is).

After the first boot of the day, I also tried restarting, shutting down and powering on the pc again, and the pc does not post into safe mode. It only does during the first boot of the day, and I have no clue why.

I would like suggestions on how to fix this issue going on. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hi When I start MX vs ATV Reflex normally through Steam, it recognizes the savegame in the following path: Steam-folder > \userdata\ <user-id> \55140\remote. However, when I start the game using the EXE file in the main game folder (without Steam running), it does not recognize the savegame, even though the savegame exists.The game does not need steam to start because its drm free i think.I can play it without savegame but i cant save anything.

My question is: does the EXE file in the main folder use a different savegame location, and if so, is there a way to change the savegame location to the main game folder so that I can simply move the game folder to any PC and continue playing without needing Steam?

Thanks!

Hey guys complete gaming PC noob here, this was a PC that my gf’s ex partner built a number of years ago that myself and her now use for our casual gaming. So I am inexperienced in things like building a gaming pc or changing hardware components.

So I have been playing Space Marine 2 since launch and had a blast, I have settings on low because I’m not too bothered about graphics and just like to enjoy the game really.

The game has recently had a big patch to add more content and ever since then people have had issues across internet, but one thing I have had is this message pop up each time saying “Your graphics driver is outdated”. Now this has only recently begun showing and I’m wondering if it might have something to do with the graphics card? I have tried the top option (download update from AMD) but doesn’t work as comes back with corrupted files? As a note I can still play the game fine, is janky sometimes but if anyone has been playing they will understand SM2 can be like that.

I assume this will continue with further patches and I want to have a fun stress free experience. In your guy’s opinion should I invest in upgrading some components on my PC? Like a new graphics card? Or will this problem need another solution?

Thanks for any support.

It is a prebuilt. The motherboard is a MSI Pro b650-vc wifi. The board has a 1TB NVMe installed that works. I've tried 3 sata drives: 2 Crucial mx500 SSDs and a mechanical drive. None are detected in Windows or the BIOS. I've tried different cables, I've tried different ports (there are 6 of them), I've tried different power connectors. All 3 were working when I took them out of the old computer. Updating the BIOS did not help. I've tried different BIOS settings. Nothing works. Please help.

I’ve had a problem develop over the last few months, and I can’t for the life of me figure out a solution.

Sometimes while I’m playing games, my screens will lose display from my graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti) and its fan will kick into full power. The only way to fix it is to power cycle my PC. At first I thought it was completely random, because some days it doesn’t do it at all, and other days it does it every time I try to play any game.

I have noticed somewhat of a pattern in this issue, as when I try to play Overwatch it’ll usually happen right when I join a match and get to the hero selection. However on occasion it will happen randomly in the middle of a match.

Since I lose display I’m unable to see any spike or decline in power or anything, and I’m certain it’s because of the card itself because despite my screens going black I can still hear sound and talk in discord calls.

I’ve run several virus scans and made sure drivers are all up to date for everything, and even just monitoring temps and power draws doesn’t show anything irregular.

My pc wont turn on after a power outage that happened at my home some days ago, it was on when this happened, then I tried to turn it on normally, and it did turn on for about 10 seconds, then it turn off by itself, and from then on I couldn’t turn it on anymore, I tried changing the psu but it didn’t work, I tried changing the motherboard battery and the pins bridge of the cmos, but nothing seems to work, I really dont know what else could it be, it didn’t smell like something burnt or anything like that

As the title says, pc freezes and won’t unfreeze unless I switch off the power supply. I’ve tried everything I can think of and it still won’t work right. Seemingly happens regardless of whether I’m playing a videogame and simply pressing the power button doesn’t do anything.

So far I’ve: Updated to windows 11, updated the bios, scanned with malwarebytes and windows defender, cleaned out my case,

And I’ve tried to check for overheating, and although I didn’t do it well I don’t believe that that is the problem.

My specs are: I9 9900k intel Asus ROG GeForce rtx 2080 2x32gb ddr4 3600mhz ram Msi meg z390 godlike

Let me know if there’s more info but please I need some help this is really insufferable.

Title. All UE games crash on start up or during a loading screen. The only time they don't is if I launch during power saver mode but switching back to any other power mode will make the games crash on the next loading screen. Updating my driver's didn't work either. Starship Troopers, Stalker 2 & Acts of Blood are what I've tested so far.

Hey guys, about 1 year ago on a random day my cpu usage randomly went up for 1 second to 100% and I get really bad fps drops. After about 30 mins playing like that, my pc freezes completely and does the sound when a blue screen occurs. Only thing to do then is holding the power button. Played like 5 times since then, always the same.

My specs are i7 7700k 4.2 Ghz Gtx 1060 6gb Mothervoard: GigabyteH110M-S2V-CF

Bought my pc in 2017

My PC doesn't seem to use sound going through the computer makes me think it's the drivers

Hello everyone, I recently purchased a 4TB M.2 SSD from Aliexpress. Here's what happened. First purchase died. After some research, I suspected that it was my fault (at this point thinking heat issues). Second purchase, I applied the thermal strip and heat sink and like the first I installed, formatted and then decided to load an OS and Office apps on it. It worked great (still the first day). I got brave and decided to load a game (WoW...please no haters). This is where things went south. During the install, it got slower and slower and then I got the blue screen. After the restart, slowest process ever. I began to install OS updates, Video Card updates and then restarted again. This time, it crashed...hard. The system no longer recognizes the M.2 at all. I'm not new with tech...but this product from Aliexpress appears to be substandard. All in...it worked for barely five hours.

By the way, The key to getting the system to recognize it was using a.) Disk Management, then b.) formatting it as Simple Partition to get as much of the 4TB as possible and also format for NTSB. That caused the system to recognize and make the SSD accessable. After this, as I noted...everything went south.

Last night I tried installing new ram, but when i attempted loading up my computer with the new ram and old ram still installed the monitors were receiving no signal. So i took the new ram out and then my pc booted in safe mode. I dont know what safe mode is, but it obviously doesnt sound good. the ram i was trying to add was corsair vengeance ddr5 6400 MHz 16 gb per stick. the motherboard I have is the z790 gaming wifi7. cpu is intel I7 14700k and i have a 4070 super. If theres anything else you would need to know to help me figure out whats going on please let me know. I'm a bit scared as I don't know much about computer hardware and only a little bit about computer software. Any help is appreciated

Update: Solved the problem, I bought incompatible ram, and after restarting my pc the POSTing in safe mode didnt happen again. For more info as to what i did just read comments

I played in gamepass version, now I got free epic version and would like to resume from old saves - how to do it?

Is it even possible or saves from gamepass are in cloud - can't find their location
