The Question OCCT is full of mistakes.
The Question OCCT is full of mistakes.
So, OCCT shows a lot of errors right when I first try the power test. After 30 minutes, I tried again and there was no error. How is this possible or what problem is it? Here is the full picture: I had issues with Rocket League and other apps (error code 0xc0000005 in Event Viewer). It feels like all games change at every startup. I tried everything online, contacted Nvidia, Microsoft, and Epic to help them. They said they can't fix it anymore. So I decided to do some hardware tests. I used OCCT and found many errors on a power test. I ran it 4 times but only once did I get this error. Every other stability test was good. Even though I installed an older GPU driver with DDU, cleaned Windows up several times, and tried both versions 10 and 11, the problem is still there. All drivers from my motherboard website (ASUS B660M PLUS WIFI D4) are fine. If this happened to me it would be cool because I wouldn't care if I had such problems. It doesn't freeze or stutter; something just feels wrong. Honestly, I hardly get any answers from Nvidia, Microsoft, or Epic anymore. Maybe getting one answer a week is enough for me? Should I RMA the GPU? I bought this PC about 3 years ago and I don't usually mess with Windows after installation. I set power settings to performance, game bar off, 240Hz. In the Nvidia panel, Ultra Low Latency Mode is on but I have tried turning it back and forth and prefer Maximum Performance, High Performance. On BIOS, I disabled Fast Boot and enabled Secure Boot (with custom default key management). I also tried Standard Secure Boot too. There was no overclocking, not even XMP. The problem is that nothing is overclocked. DisplayPort VESA certified. Also, when I plug my computer into a TV outlet, the screen of my TV which is playing something and connected to the PC goes black for a few seconds right now. So I'm trying my computer on a different wall outlet. Thank you if reading all this helps me.
how old is that power supply unit? which plug does your graphics card use? are you sticking with one cable from the PSU, or using two separate cables each with its own plug? do you have any other issues like getting hot when playing games? did you try to overclock the graphics chip? were the test settings and speeds exactly the same for both GPU and power supply?
Oh no. This could be my last chance. I have seen it before many times! Many many times! The repairman told me the first time I saw it that it was over, but it's not over! The GPU is perfect. You might need to "UNDERCLOCK" the GPU. You might try it now. You should look this up. You don't have too much time, but you do get enough! And you must do this quickly. It might be very bad. It will work well and speed up your game.
1. Download msAfterBurner.
2. Lower the clock speed by 20 MHz.
3. Lower the GPU memory clock by around that much.
4. Don't go too low, it could be very bad.
5. Come back to me with the results! I will help, and I can help a lot, the GPU might be perfect! It will live a long time. This one GPU I had this problem with has been alive for 6+ years since
But what if I did not get those errors after running it two more times?
I don't know how old it is. It's a pre-order PC, so I didn't build it myself. Same with me not knowing that either. It uses lots of PCI-E cables. Yes, the games change all the time. Not freezing or stuttering just every startup feels way different than two minutes ago. No. OCCT and yes they were good.
