    Gaming instability


    My gaming PC has become near useless for gaming in the recent month with each game crashing to desktop either immediately at launch or half an hour into play. I'm not sure what's causing my issues as I've uninstalled and reinstalled everything including windows 3 times. I'm at my witsend here trying to figure out the cause for instability in-game.I thought maybe my m.2 drive had issues so I attempted a fresh windows install on a different drive with the exact same game instability.I pulled my ram thinking it was bad and replaced it with new sticks, issues remain consistent.Most games give ze

  2. PC Build Steps

    Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval
    • Install system in case
      • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
    • Turn on PC
    • setup HDD
    • run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
      • run realtemp at the same time
    • While in Prime95 test
      • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
      • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
      • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!
    What do you guys think??
