what could be wrong with my pc?
Recently changed the case, and an old Corsair carbide 275R was lying there. My brother put the PC into a new case, and since then I’ve faced problems. Initially it would stutter in TLOU2 sometimes, then in SOTTR it would crash right after a cutscene when there was a memory violation. Chatgpt and Gemin suggested error 0xc0000005, which seemed to match the memory issue. After the case change everything worked again. I heard a loud snap when he forced the GPU into the X16 slot, and another difficulty while installing the CPU 8-pin EPS because of congestion. Now other programs are also failing with a different error linked to a DLL file. When I open the gamebar settings, I see this message: Faulting application name: GameBar.exe, version: 7.325.7090.0, time stamp: 0x686e331b Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 10.0.19041.6094, time stamp: 0xd1cd3808 Exception code: 0xc0000409 Faulting process id: 0x17fc Faulting application start time: 0x01dc0458de584799 Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay_7.325.7090.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe GameBar.exe Faulting module path: C:\Windows\SYSTEM32 tdll.dll Report Id: d6f04dda-6e02-45b6-96e4-f461b03966e4 Faulting package full name: Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay_7.325.7090.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe Faulting package-relative application ID: Some other apps are also crashing with the same error, even GTA 5 froze during graphics changes (no crash like SOTTR with the same code). I’m not sure if it’s stability problems, but the OS seems okay. Windows memory diagnostic, MemTest86, and a 25-minute run with normal temps helped. I’m using the lightweight Ghost Spectre Superlite version of Windows 10, which has never broken before. I’ve run the sfc command and it fixed everything, but nothing fully resolved. My specs are: i3 10105f, 16GB RAM, 1050 Ti H470 motherboard, Crucial BX500 boot drive (120GB), CX550 PSU. I’ve occasionally noticed buzzing or interference sounds, even after a clean GPU and sound driver install. I’m wondering if the CPU voltage regulator failed due to overvoltage, maybe because of cheap 1.2V RAM sticks—I increased the RAM voltage to 1.38V to get CL16. I’ve tested my GT710, which also crashes at that point, and even tried using an IGUI in another PC with I3 4160T. Interestingly, my brother’s system runs SOTTR without errors at this stage. I asked him to share his 3060 Ti, but he refused. I also attempted a clean Windows 11 installation (official Microsoft ISO). I’m holding off on power testing because it could damage my PSU. It’s a bit confusing, but it might be related to the CPU or motherboard. I’m not sure, but any advice would be greatly appreciated.
You noticed a strong snap during the process, indicating possible issues with the motherboard or GPU. It might be wise to ask for his GPU to borrow and check it in his system.
Locate the GameBar setting in Windows Configuration and turn it off. However, this won’t erase the program from your system. Several instances of GameBarPresenceWriter.exe exist on your machine, and one will run when you launch a game. This tool is meant to capture screens while playing, but some users have noticed it continues even after disabling Game Bar. It appears to be a telemetry virus developed by Microsoft to monitor users under the pretense of capturing game data. It likely logs information such as gameplay frequency, used peripherals, and the titles played. Online searches reveal numerous reports about errors caused by this telemetry program and difficulties in removing it. You can’t simply delete these files, as they are managed by the TrustedInstaller octopus user with full access to your files—even as an administrator. You don’t own them; Microsoft does. To eliminate it, you’ll need to manually locate them, open their properties, adjust permissions, and delete the file. This process may require repeated attempts. Alternatively, consider using alternative scripts or tools to avoid such issues.
the loud snap happened only with the gpu setup, not the cpu. when connecting the cpu cable it was tough to get to the connector because of the blockage. tomorrow i’ll be away for a while and will return after some time, so it doesn’t really matter. my brother has made sure the pc stays in good condition until i come back. that sounds like a conspiracy, even if they say so, it should cause the app to crash since it worked perfectly for me before.
I experienced the same issues—game stuttering, crashes, blue screens, and system freezes. Recently, I encountered a frozen screen and data transfer problems. The Event Viewer showed a crash right after a GameBar error, and lately, my frame rate dropped significantly in games, possibly due to a malware named GameBarPresenceWriter.exe. To tackle this, I think starting with disabling the virus and removing it would be a good first step, though it won’t be simple. This issue involves just one small Windows feature, but there are many others handling cloud checks and data moves.
Microsoft is clearly a problematic corporation. You can find more details on its Wikipedia page.
