Ive been playing the last 2 days w/o any blackscreen or crash, even I played with high settings and it didnt happen. Srsly I have no idea whats going on. Those 2 days I tried with 2 different driver versions and they worked perfectly so I dont know whats going on.

The best thing you can do is indeed what you were told right from the beginning: change every component individually and look if your system becomes stable. I would start with the power supply, then continue with the ram. If you have the time, then you can try to re-install windows, even though this is kind of a brute force method to solve a problem and it is not guaranted that this will fix anything. But sometimes a weird software issue is the cause. Hi Im back! Ive sent my GPU and power supply to a tech so they shouldve tested it. They told me "we've tested it on YouTube, some programa, etc and it worked fine". Of course, he is an a**hole. Ive sent my components because I can not test them by myself and they did nothing to help me. At this moment I think that muy GPU is my problem and Ill have to check this with my friend's power supply because I dont have another one. I will be back to update it. If anything comes to you mind just say it!

You can also download the manual at your motherboard's manufacturer's website. What's the brand and model? > > > My temps, playing, are aroun 65-70°C at max setting > > Ouch! That is pretty high. Doesn't your graphics card have a tool where you can adjust the fan speeds according to temperature? > > Keeping your hardware (CPU, GPU, RAM, SSD and HDD) as cool as possible is important. The blackscreen could be the result of overheating after all. I dont think thats overheating problem. I ran furmark test 1080p and GPU's temperature raised up to 76°C w/o crashing or blackscreen. Btw I dont play with max settings. My motherboard is Gigabyte - H110M-H

Since you seem 100% certain that there is no overheating issue (what are your hardware temps, by the way?), it could be a hardware issue (e.g., the motherboard) or an issue with your hyper-threading or overclocking settings in BIOS. How can I know if thats about my BIOS setting or hyper-threading? I dont know about this. My temps, playing, are aroun 65-70°C at max setting and 55-60°C at low settings. Im talking about GPU temps, CPU temps use to be lower than GPU, aroun 50-65°C. As I said, sometimes theres a blackscreen and I have to restart or theres an automatic restart.

I used to have recommended setting and my PC shut down many times before I decided to change it. I changed it because I wanted to make a report with WhoCrashed and I needed to set up virtual memorie to create those dump files. Unfortunately I never had the chance to create them but I left the virtual memorie configured this way. So, in the past, with recomended setting, I experienced crashes too and in the present with that setup I have crashes too. I dont think thats the issue.

I will but it wont make any change because that was set up this way before and my crashed too

> @"Nythrilyn.2146" said: > Your CPU is fine, it's your GPU and Ram that is most likely causing your issues. GTX950 has 2G Vram and you are running on only 8GB. You can run settings on high, and live with the issues you are having with it (blackscreen) It is a reasonable GPU it isn't the worst, but there is better, since Ram is cheaper, I suggest giving yourself at least 16GB ram (which imo is just the normal now) > And yes I use to run GW2 on 8GB Ram and a GTX960 and I didn't have the same issues are you are having right now, but that is because I played it on medium to low settings =/ > I upgraded to a gtx1060 and 16G ram and I have no issues with the game at all (only server side issues and my lovely (normal) ping of about 220) lol I used to play Gw2 with AMD 5830 which has only 1G Vram and I never experienced it, btw there was a time when I played with 4GB RAM. I think my actual setup its pretty much enough to run it. To be honest I play Gw2 in low settings a few days ago and it didnt happen, so I think theres something about what you say that makes sense.

> @"Ashantara.8731" said: > 1. When the GPU fans are spinning at highest speed all the time, your rig is definitely having a severe overheating issue. It might need a thorough cleanup (use a soft brush and compressed air, remove the graphics card etc and clean those as well). Furthermore, if the PC has been in use for a couple of years, you might need to re-apply thermal paste to the CPU (best have it done by someone who knows how) - great opportunity to give the CPU cooler a thorough cleanup. > 2. P.S. on overheating --> Does your rig have enough fans and a proper flow of air (inbound as well as outbound)? > 3. Yes, a system shutdown usually means the PSU (Power Supply Unit) is protecting the system from further damage. If it's a reset, it could be a faulty PSU. I would try to replace that before going for the more expensive components (it could be anything, really, like a faulty motherboard). > > > @"Cramero.1792" said: > > Once again blackscreen with a loop sound in the background and after a few seconds I could hear the game like it used to happen. > > See what I wrote earlier. > > > took off the RAM and **cleaned it with a eraser**. > > You what?! :o How much filth had your PC gathered for you to have to refer to such a drastical method? :lol: Clean your PC at least twice a year and you shouldn't have to go there. ;) > > > Could it be possible that those shut downs came from a bottleneck effect comming from my RAM? > > Not really (though 8 GB isn't much these days) unless you applied too little virtual memory for 8 GB of RAM. Ty for your advice but I clean my PC very often, this is the first time I try that thing with the memory. I changed thermal paste too my CPU and GPU a few days ago when I cleaned it up.

I would like to get some help. My PC keeps restarting itself randomly while Im playing. I played Fallout4 for almost 40min and I didnt experience any restart but I played Gw2 for almost the same amount of time and I got 2 shutdowns. I tried with windows 10 memory check and it says that my RAM its fine, same with power troubleshooting saying that my power supply its okay. Is there anything I could do?

Did your friend repair her pc? Im having the same issue and I dont know what to do.

Hi guys! Lastnight someone tried to help me in game and told me to use Glary Utilities, I did in fact and it found A LOT of problems and 27GB of cache o.O. After that my pc worked fine but I didnt try to play a match because I wasnt sure. This morning I played some pve with my thief and PC worked fine, not even an attempt of crash or blackscreen. I noticed some ups and downs at my FPS when we were doing some legendarie bosses so it made me think about my drivers. I didnt change anything. A few minutes later I came back to play so matches and it worked good, some up and downs at my FPS but no crash, I decided to put graph settings at high and my PC crashed again. Once again blackscreen with a loop sound in the background and after a few seconds I could hear the game like it used to happen. I shut down my PC, took off the RAM and cleaned it with a eraser. Turned on my PC, opened Gw2 and somehow those ups and downs of FPS stopped happening, I guess it was something like bottleneck effect. At the end of it all. Could it be possible that those shut downs came from a bottleneck effect comming from my RAM?

The gpu fans are suddenly spinning up, if the gpu driver is reset by the OS after a failure has been detected. This can save the PC from crashing completely, but does not necessarily (as you experience). Well as you suggested I tried furmark + prime95 and I added gw2 in the background. I took a shower while it was stressing af my pc and guess what, no blackscreen or shutdown. So I think thats kind a software problem isnt it?

Btw I just realize that gpu's fan isnt spinning while it temperature is around 60°C is that right? > GPUs do that spin-up sometimes when the driver is reset, because the gpu is newly initialized, like when you turn on your PC. So your 5830 behaved like expected. That and the sometimes still working background sound was the main reason why I am quite sure you have to deal with gpu driver resets. > > Modern gpus often have a zero-fan mode in their firmware, that disables the fans below a certain temperature threshold. For example the fans of my gpu activate at 60 degrees. I have also had gpus with zero-fan mode till 45 and 50 degrees. If your fans are still not spinning above 70 degrees I would become worried. > > You can disable zero-fan via custom fan-profile applications like MSi afterburner (or in the AMD driver, which is irrelevant for you currently as you have a geforce). Thanks for the advice and information about drivers, anyway Im pretty sure I installed them properlly last time.
