PC has been behaving erratically and generating numerous problems following the reinstallation.
Hello everyone,
I've recently observed some minor lag spikes on my PC. The interior lighting "flashes" occasionally, and these occurrences can happen; the camera freezes in Discord, the service crashes, Unity stops working, and games fail to start. The computer slows down for 2-3 seconds.
Details:
AMD Ryzen 7 5800x
RTX 3070ti
1TB SSD
16GB DDR4 RAM
750W power supply
Three monitors
I'm trying to identify the cause. After using the newegg PSU calculator, the recommended power should be around 600-700W, which suggests the power supply might be insufficient. I also think the RAM could be a problem, as low memory often leads to such issues.
About two weeks ago, I reinstalled the system, and since then these problems have increased. I've updated all drivers, checked for corrupt files, and everything seems normal now.
Anyone have suggestions on how to resolve this? Thank you for your help.
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
PSU 750W
750W is the advertised wattage of the PSU. What is the make and model of the unit and it's age? What did it power prior to the RTX3070Ti? Make and model of your motherboard? BIOS version for your motherboard? Link to your ram kit?
1-2 weeks ago I reinstalled the PC
Do you mean reinstalling the OS or reseating parts? If the former, where did you source the installer from? Did you install the OS in offline mode? Did you install all relevant drivers for your platform in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator?
Hello Lutfij,
PSU:
Corsair RM750 750W (Used it for 15 months, bought new, only powered said PC)
Motherboard is:
ASUS ROG Strix B550-E GAMING (Latest BIOS)
Ram is:
Kingston FURY Beast RGB DDR4 3200MHz 16GB
CL18, 288-pin, DIMM (2x8GB)
When I reinstalled the OS, I used the standard Windows reset from settings. I believe I was online during the process. All drivers were installed through software from the manufacturers. That includes Geforce Experience, AMD Chipset Software and Armoury Crate.
I noticed a BSOD just a few minutes ago. According to the dumpfile, it was caused by either faulty drivers or the Quantum software itself. I removed those and haven’t seen any BSODs yet. Although they do happen occasionally—once today and once yesterday—I don’t get them too often.
I’m considering stress testing the PC for CPU, GPU and RAM. It seems unusual given I only used it for 15 months, but I’ll try.
Regards,
Victor
This particular issue in Event Viewer has appeared quite frequently over the past few days. I’m unsure about its exact effect on my system, but it consistently occurs two times.
