Performance remains high even during gameplay.
I just assembled my first PC for gaming and now I face problems when launching games. It looks like the system is using only the CPU, causing it to hit maximum usage while the GPU stays near zero. I tried Fortnite, Marvel Rivals, and FF7 Rebirth, all of which crashed. The only message I got was from Marvel Rivals claiming a “GPU crash.” All drivers are installed, CPU temps are around 34°C, but the issue persists. Could you help me figure this out?
The problem began recently, likely within the past few days. It didn't appear to have been present for more than a month.
Verify core activation with HWinfo and review gaming clock speeds
I turned off the built-in graphics in your BIOS and now the motherboard shows the CPU error indicator, preventing any further posting.
Let me know if you'd like me to enable it right away or wait until it's fixed so you can see the updates clearly!
I recall there might be a configuration option in Windows that lets you pick which graphics card to use for applications. It could be set to let Windows decide automatically. Possibly due to a bug, the system defaults to using the integrated graphics (iGPU) instead of the dedicated GPU. Try adjusting it to prioritize the GPU for all tasks. You can find this under System > Display > Graphics and press Windows + i to open the search bar for "graphics." It should appear right away.
