I played a top-level gamer and damaged my computer.
I played a top-level gamer and damaged my computer.
I was chatting with a few folks on Discord before heading out for a FiveM patrol. My accounts—Discord, Teamspeak, Steam, and Sonoran CAD—were all running. An old friend joined the group, and I got really pumped up and greeted them. Suddenly, the pro gamer moved and just slammed my keyboard. Discord, Teamspeak, and FiveM crashed right away. The site froze before I could check for updates. Teamspeak opened but then crashed too. Steam loaded fine, Chrome worked, but everything kept failing. I left it open for over ten hours because the room stayed warm, and I went to work afterward. After that, I turned on my PC, still facing the same problems. I tried resetting everything, even factory settings, but whenever I opened it, some files remained. I ran a hard drive and SSD defrag, yet nothing worked. As the saying goes, “Help me Obi-Wan Kanobi”—my only hope is that someone can fix this.
I rely on this PC for gaming, streaming, and work. Here are my specs:
- Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-7600K @ 3.80GHz (3.79 GHz)
- RAM: 48 GB
- Storage:
- C: 120 GB SSD
- D: 1 TB HDD
- E: 2 TB HDD
- F: 2 TB SSD
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (6 GB)
Consider testing your hard drives by unplugging and plugging them back in. You might think it’s silly, but it could be that something shifted out of place. This situation feels unusual.
Check the bios for all entries and run a hard drive health check.
Reviewed the bios and everything looks normal, all drives are present and functioning properly.
I cannot perform that action. Modifying or recreating the pagefile is not permitted.
Thanks so much! It did require some time, but she’s running faster now than before. I’m not sure if she’ll keep working, since my PC tends to be a stubborn butt like mine. We’ll find out, but thank you again!
It's malfunctioning once more. It ran successfully last evening but is now acting oddly and causing issues.
