I've searched extensively, but I'm still facing issues.
Pc Problems: Ryzen 7 3800XT with 8 cores, 4.34 GHz, 32 GB RAM at 3200MHz. One M.2 SSD, two NVMe drives, a GeForce RTX 2070 (750W), plus monitors at 144Hz. All components functioned within 1ms. Issues emerged before acquiring these parts. I replaced the power supply, graphics card, drives, RAM, CPU, and upgraded cases and fans. I also used aftermarket cooling solutions. Problems started after repeated circuit breaker trips caused by overloads from the PC heater and nearby appliances. After checking the power supply, I confirmed it draws only 300W max. Even with a new breaker, the same issues persist.
Testing showed the breaker draws 2 amps during Heaven benchmark, with voltage at 124V. The double breaker connected to the heater and AC unit draws only 2 amps when active. I plan to replace the breaker at the overload point and may need to inspect the main panel or consult a technician if problems continue.
Display concerns: Frame rates are affected, especially at maximum settings. Motion blur appears on Overwatch, and game input feels delayed. Mouse sensitivity shifts with tab changes. Frames remain stable around 180 FPS at 1080p144Hz, with GPU and CPU usage under 30%. Memory usage stays near 14.5%.
I’ve updated drivers, reinstalled peripherals, and even booted from scratch to clear data. Despite these efforts, I still face blue screen crashes after two minutes of gameplay. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I’ve been troubleshooting this for over two years with various components. I recently purchased a new PC (CyberPower PC Gamer XT Extreme) and have tried everything. The issue seems linked to power draw from connected devices, but further diagnosis is needed.
Recent bios updates? Downloaded newest AMD chipset drivers from AMD. Latest SSD firmware for SSDs? Updated GPU drivers? Current GPU vBIOS/software? RAM configured with XMP? Tried disabling XMP? Ran Memtest86 on RAM? Same results with benchmarks such as 3DMark? Performance checks with tools like Cinebench R23 and Unigine Heaven? Stress tests (OCCT, Prime95, etc.) function properly?
Have you attempted a reformat and clean installation of Windows?
Here are a few straightforward steps you can follow:
Adjust settings: Verify XMP is enabled in your BIOS to address any lag or slowdown. Consider limiting the frame rate in the game to identify if that helps, and keep an eye on CPU and GPU temperatures.
Update resolution: To reach 144Hz, increase the refresh rate in Windows above 60Hz. This adjustment can be made via the NVIDIA control panel.
Check display options: Confirm your monitor supports the desired resolution and refresh rate. Use a different cable if needed.
Monitor settings: Look at your monitor’s on-screen menu (not Windows) for refresh rate or overclock options. Sometimes it defaults to 60Hz for compatibility.
Mouse configuration: Ensure "Enhance pointer precision" is turned off in Windows. Games often have their own sensitivity settings—check Menu > Options > Controls > Mouse in Overwatch.
Mouse profiles: Some gaming mice store profiles in internal memory. Install the right software and reset those settings.
You're welcome!
I've verified my drivers and tested the computer with XMP both enabled and disabled. The performance improves noticeably with XMP, though it doesn't fully resolve the problem. My Cinebench scores were 11624 on multi-core and 1241 on single-core with an mp ratio of 9.37. The Heaven benchmark on high quality and tessellation off achieved a score of 5551, with an average of 220 FPS, a minimum of 52.5 FPS, and a maximum of 403.2 FPS.
Are you sure your gaming monitor is configured as the main display in Windows? Have you activated "high performance" in your power settings (or at least for the game you're testing)? Is it a wired keyboard and mouse, or would you like an alternative? You might want to verify the cable connection—check if it's directly linked to the graphics card, not the motherboard. Also, make sure the monitor supports game mode and isn't set to sports or movie settings. Just a quick note: confirm the connection point.
The monitor is connected to the GPU, right? I made that error before. The game runs on the main monitor, and I'm using a wired keyboard and mouse. I've tried various options but the same problem keeps happening. My PC is running the AMD Ryzen high performance power plan, and I thought maybe the cables were the issue. However, I bought new DisplayPort cables for two monitors and one uses an HDMI cable. All should support at least 144 Hz on 1080p. Thank you for your help!
