Resolved: My frustration with this computer has reached its limit.
Could you describe your computer's current configuration? I’ve noticed some changes in the hardware, but I’m uncertain whether you're using your original specifications or a revised version.
I’d like to offer some assistance, although I admit I'm not entirely confident in my ability to resolve this. (It seems like a difficult issue, and I’m doubtful anyone will offer much support.)
Have you attempted relocating your computer to a different location? Is it conceivable that there might be electrical disturbances affecting its performance? Do you have a subwoofer positioned close to your system? (In the past, this tactic has been effective for addressing similar issues.)
I strongly recommend investing in a power supply unit of at least 550 watts. The 450-watt model is hindering the troubleshooting process. (You require sufficient power to adequately support all your components; otherwise, attempting a diagnosis is futile. You'll need to upgrade and maintain that upgrade.)
What is your PC now? I see many hardware changes... But not sure if you're running your initial PC list or edited.
I'm going to try help you a bit... But even I'm not sure. (Not sure if anyone will try help really, this is a headache of a problem)
Have you tried moving your PC to another room? Is it possible you have some sort of electrical interference? Do you have a subwoofer near your system? (A couple of times in the past this was a solution to similar problem)
I would though... Tell you to run at least a 550w PSU. The 450w is only getting in the way of figuring this out. (You need to have enough power to run all of your components, otherwise, why even try and diagnose. You've got to upgrade this and keep it upgraded.)
Really... Uhm... Ryzen 1600 is very touchy. A b350 board with a 3000mhz Ram is recommended.... Because of these reasons. And there's even a list of compatible Ram, this is very well known. You running an a320 with 2133mhz leads to problems. And from what I remember, wrong Ram was what was a main cause of microstutter in r1600
Let’s examine your computer setup. I'm noticing some changes in the hardware, but it’s unclear whether you’re using your original configuration or a modified one.
I'd like to offer some assistance, though I admit I’m uncertain about how much help I can provide – it seems like a complex issue. Have you attempted relocating your PC to a different area? Could there be electrical disturbances affecting the system? Is a subwoofer nearby? In the past, this has sometimes resolved similar problems.
I strongly advise you to consider a power supply unit (PSU) of at least 550 watts. The 450-watt unit might be hindering the troubleshooting process. You'll need sufficient power for all your components, and you should plan to upgrade it regularly.
Specifically, a Ryzen 1600 processor works best with a B350 motherboard and 3000MHz RAM – this is well-documented. Using an A320 board with 2133MHz RAM often leads to difficulties, and I recall it being a significant factor in causing microstuttering on that processor.
Currently, your system consists of an i7-7700t, MSI B250 PC MATE, Crucial 16GB DDR4 (currently with 8GB installed and a stick borrowed from a friend), WD Blue 250Gb SSD, a 1TB Caviar Black drive, and a 4TB Caviar Blue drive. You also have a CX650M PSU and a GTX 1070 graphics card.
Despite overclocking the RAM up to 2800MHz on both AMD motherboards and experimenting with higher wattage PSUs and different outlets, the problems persisted, even though they were in the same room. The current location lacks an outlet, requiring an extension cord – a situation you experienced with your previous system. I haven’t yet tested moving the PC to another room, but I will and report back.
Experiment with a different display device; you might be encountering issues with the screen’s refresh rate. Consider adjusting VSync in your Nvidia settings – I believe they offer this feature, although I utilize AMD graphics cards, so I’m unable to specify the exact location within your control panel. However, they likely possess a similar synchronization mechanism. Furthermore, examine your Windows power configurations, along with the Nvidia and BIOS power settings, ensuring they are set to a “performance” mode.
That additional memory module is essential. Could you please specify the amperage capacity of that power cable? Regarding your recent communication, it seemed somewhat unclear. Are you utilizing a system with Windows installed specifically for those particular components?
I urgently require that additional RAM module. Could you please specify the amperage rating of that cable extension? Considering the posts were somewhat unclear, are you using a system with Windows installation solely for those specific components? I'm unsure of the exact amperage capacity, but I recently replaced a weak extension cable with a “Hyper Tough” version – I no longer possess the packaging, so unfortunately, I cannot provide a precise specification. Furthermore, I changed my power supply to a more dependable model, which has 1560 Joules of energy storage (I’m not entirely certain what that signifies). Regarding the RAM, I installed it just a few weeks ago, and these problems began long before that. And yes, I’ve been utilizing a separate copy of Windows for the newer additions; I performed a clean installation when transitioning from Ryzen to Intel.
Experiment with a different display. It’s possible you're encountering issues related to refresh rates. Have you checked the VSync settings on your Nvidia graphics card? While I use AMD, it appears they offer a similar feature—you’d need to explore your control panel. Additionally, review your Windows power settings, Nvidia power settings, and BIOS power settings – ensure they are configured for maximum performance. I don’t believe the problem lies with your monitor itself, although I will test it anyway; I have a 4K television in another room that I’ll try as well.
