troubleshooting

Okay let me just start from the beginning...earlier this year I got myself an ASUS TUF B550 Gaming Plus WIFI II motherboard bundled with an R5 5600x on Amazon. Then about a month ago I upgraded from a Zotac RTX 3070 to an ASUS TUF RTX 4070. I also got myself a new CPU cooler; a Vetroo V5 because...

Basically, I've got a PSVR2 (and no PS5) and hope to use it on PC with the upcoming iVRy driver, which the creator is planning to release before end of year. Already have a BizLink adapter on the way and have been promised one of the converters needed to get it working as a Patron. Great! The...

I am building a new machine (mid-ranger, minimal gaming, lots of storage for family "cloud"). My old machine is in my sig - it was built in 2011 or so. [Er, no sigs? Been away from [H] for so long....] Anyway, Corsair HX620W, Q9550/Gigabyte/DDR3/water-cooled/etc. It has been in storage most of...

Hey all! I have had quite a joyride past five days. Last Saturday I ran into an issue, that my PC crashed when I was booting up more intensive games. No biggie, maybe a temp issue right? Well, I fired up HWinfo64 monitoring and logged data to check whether it'd be a temperature issue, whilst...

Hello, I was wondering if there are bootable flash thumb drives, would flash memory card be a good idea? I guess for main OS it won't due to constant writing of data but how about to use Live CD stuff on them like Windows, Linux for troubleshooting and repair purposes? I heard how not using...

Hello! So about a week ago I was playing Apex Legends and I got an engine failure crash (memory is grey at this point) I clicked out the error and then my GPU starting throwing artifacts on both of my monitors followed by crashing shortly after. Upon rebooting the PC went into...

I have been having a mountain of issues with my system. It started when I tried to replace a drive and it would no longer turn on. After stripping it down to essentials, it would turn on but would display no video, so I plugged my GPU back in and I would get video. However, after this I...

Hi! Just trying to figure out what to set SteamVR too for rendering resolution if I am doing like 1.5x in Oculus for Quest 2

I am not sure if this is the best place to post this but here we go. I built my computer a while ago (year and half ago) for the first time and I have noticed some stuttering in my games, some worse than others. I was hoping I could get some help in identifying if this is normal and if not, how...

I'm having issues during start-up of my latest PC build. First thing: this PC works! Just having some weirdness on startup. Once started it does not have performance issues. I have been able to get it to start each day, after some trouble. Here's the system in question: ASUS TUF Z490 Gaming...

Hullo. I used to play on an RX 480 (as per title) and got a Vega 56 during Black Friday ( https://www.asus.com/us/Graphics-Cards/ROG-STRIX-RXVEGA56-O8G-GAMING/ ). Only got around to plugging it in yesterday, expecting it to not be too difficult to get running. No such luck. I have no signal...

Brake pedal went out and after many different troubleshooting avenues, I have the potentiometer at least responding. Unfortunately it's a on a very short throw, 5% depress or so, for two different sets of pedals (stock 2 pedal and the T3PA) -so in game they lock up as soon as sensor hits. Last...

Just tore down my perfectly fine water-cooled rig that had a fury x, after reassembling and moving everything to air coolers tried starting up my PC bit was having Issues with Windows going into repair mode of boot looping. After troubleshooting fury x is the culprit. When cold starting PC it...

I'll make this succinct: Have a Asus z77-M Pro mATX mobo + i5-3570k, working just fine Decided to buy a new videocard, swapped it out After swap, refuses to post, DRAM_LED either shows solid red for a seconds and then shuts back down or flashes and shuts down immediately Removed motherboard...

Good morning everyone, I've had a weird power on issue with my current PC that's been happening since I built it two years ago, I believe system board is an Asus z97a, I've tried stock bios settings and messing with them and get the same results, so I'm thinking maybe it's a hardware or wiring...

To start out, there was a power outage this last week when a transformer blew, and after it came back on this is when everything started. Mind you, everything worked flawlessly before this happened. The relevant hardware: I have an old media server with an EVGA 780i FTW, and a Q9550. The system...

A few weeks ago, I started getting intermittent DNS lookup failures. I looked into it, and everything I found suggested switching to Google's public DNS. So I switched to that in my router's settings, but I still had problems, albeit a little less frequently. Eventually I got fed up and forced...

Hardware of note: MSI Z77A-G45 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 (4 years old, along with the CPU, RAM) Here's the scoop: Bought a new hard drive for my rig, upgraded to Windows 7 on that HDD, started installing updates for my motherboard and my computer gave up. Now, when I turn on the power to the PC...

I've built several computer builds over the years and in some builds, I've suffered from infamous "my screen freezes with loud buzzing noise" problems more than I liked or paid for. So my current rig (it's in my signature... but who reads those anyway?): NZXT H440 \\ XF X XXX 650W PSU \\...
