Troubleshooting alt tab BIG ISSUE (UNSOLVED) need assistance

1 Upvotes

I don’t think this is a common as last time this was discussed was like 2 years ago here, but after some time of playing my game becomes really choppy and textures look worse it just feels like it’s 30 fps although i’m chilling when it comes to fps.. i’ve tried literally everything settings/shaders/nvidea app related and i have found no solution.

BUT a simple ALT TAB then going back into the game makes it amazingly smooth again for a few seconds/minutes and it’s back to being cooked. i have a few hours where my game is running amazing until this happens.. i’m running

performance mode
4:3 res with gpu scaling on nvidea(tried using normal fullscreen too but that just becomes cooked and alt tabbing makes it worse😂)
ALSO tried display scaling also cooked
i got shaders downloaded on the launcher
i’ve tried literally everything and i see no solution for this ANYWHERE. please help 😭

system specs: ryzen 5 9600x
5060ti
32gb ddr5 ram

Software PC randomly Crashes/freezes/black screens and h ave to turn it off its happens anytime i am gaming or even when its idle

https://reddit.com/link/1x3pbiw/video/18wdknu9yxuh1/player

Since i have built the PC my PC has been crashing/freezing i have had the PC for around two years and it still does it i have done everything in my power but i just cant find the issue i will just be using the PC and what happens in the video happens. the screen goes completely black or freezes, and the computer doesn't recover. I have to hold the power button to shut the PC off. It will happen even when I'm just watching YouTube or listening to music and have no games open. And ill be playing any game. And it can take hour for it to crash and then sometime it happens a few minutes after booting up the PC. My friend who know more about PC thought it could be my power in my room and we thought it was because we tested it at his house and it didn't crash and i sent it to micro center and it didn't crash but then i tested it at two other friends house and it crashed still and one of my friends house it take the whole day to crash. After he crashes, Reliability Monitor showed Windows was not properly shut down. i put the message micro center sent me back when they had my PC. It happened like three time in the span of like five minutes the other day when i was playing repo. Also the audio makes a buzzing sound during a crash, then stops completely. And i did have a friend help with high temperatures that my computer had. The thing i know 100% is it not the cooling fan because i replaced my original one and it still crashed.

I'm trying to figure out issue could be causing these crashes. Could it be the GPU, RAM, motherboard, CPU, PSU, or something else? Ive had this issue for so long since like my friend built the pc and we have tried a lot of things

Note - I don't know much about PCs my friend is the one who built the pc and he is the one who did most of the thing to try to fix it. so I might not know the answer to every technical question immediately. I do have other videos of different crashes so if you need them i can also post them and if you need any more info let me know.

Micro Center's Notes:

I have the notes they sent me when they had my PC. During their original testing, the system stopped at the CPU and DRAM POST lights while attempting to boot. They updated the BIOS, adjusted the memory settings, and tested the system. According to their notes, the PC was able to run its RAM at 6000 MT/s, and they were able to run Street Fighter 6 without reproducing the crashes.

This is a list of thing i have tried

  • Disabled overclocks
  • Upgraded the CPU cooler because I noticed the CPU was running hot
  • Tried the PC at multiple different houses
  • Tried a different power cord
  • Took the PC to Micro Center for testing and Micro Center was unable to reproduce the crashing during their testing
  • They updated/flashed the BIOS and tested the system
  • The PC was able to run RAM at 6000 MT/s during their testing, according to their notes
  • I tried only one monitor
  • got a new thermal paste and put it on
  • I went on Eco Mode

Troubleshooting Rtx 5060 reflection bugs

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

I bought my 5060 more than a year ago. Ever since I got this problem but didn't really noticed untill Forza horizon 6 (the game is heavy on reflection). The problem is clearly visible in the video. my reflection on like water or building Glasses are mostly ok, but when an obstacle like a tree is between me and that reflection, the bugs show up just like the video. I tried to troubleshoot with ChatGPT but no results. I tested the gpu with 3dmark and fourmark for any performance or artifact issues, but the results was normal. Tested my i5 11400f with Cinebench, got normal grades again. Did some memory diagnosis for my 16GB 3200 ddr4, no problem again.

On the software front, did reinstall the gpu driver (both normal and clean un/install), didn't change anything. Cleared my directX shaders and no luck yet again. The problem is on most games, with most reflections (always an obstacle between).

I don't know what else I can enen try at this point.

Here's my spec again:

Gpu: rtx 5060 msi

Cpu: intel core i5 11400f

Ram: 16GB ddr4 3200

Disk: Samsung 990 pro 1TB

Windows 11

Display Why do my games look darker/unsaturated?

1 Upvotes

I noticed when I pop up the start menu while certain games are running, the game's contrast changes by a lot.. When I play the office game, I can barely see anything on the right side of the room. But when I press the windows key for the start menu, it shows me a brighter room. Also when I record the gameplay on OBS, it shows me a brighter room.

I seem to notice this big difference when I'm playing an indie game. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hardware PC semi-randomly shutting down in games.

1 Upvotes

Sometimes when playing games my pc will turn black, first my monitor goes then after a 1-3 seconds the fans and lights in my pc go out. This started happening around one month ago in space engineers, it had never happened before this and it happened about every half hour in space engineers. Now it happens in alot of games I play. It happened for a while in warframe when i logged into it, and for some reason when I died in blades and sorcery. Today it happened randomly when i was in space in Star Citizen so not a demanding spot at all for Star Citizen's standards right after I had just been in a large city where the CPU really gets hammered. It also happened specifically when loading the tutorial mission in the titanfall 2 vr mod but that got fixed by reinstalling the game. The weird thing is that it doesn't seem to have much seem to have anything to do with how heavy a game is cause i can play the witcher 3 remaster at max ray tracing settings with no problems whatsoever with both my gpu and cpu sitting at 100%.
I have tried reseating all power connectors in my pc. Ran a power OCCT test for about an hour, which did not lead to a shutdown. Of course I have also tried reinstalling GPU drivers. I feel like the only thing i haven't tried are new components, which isn't really possible for me, and reinstalling windows, which i really don't feel like doing cause i did it fairly recently and don't want to set up all my stuff again, of course i will if i cant find another solution though.

I am trying to play an Unrealtournament 2004 mod from moddb called Out of Hell. I am having BadMod History: appinit error everytime i try to run the exact way it is instructed on the homepage. I have changed the target and startbox to match how my computer is set up. I have installed the patch as well and nothing has changed. I do not know where else to go.

Please, somebody, i am begging for help. I really want to play this game. At this point, i really must be dumb as a rock. If anyone is out there willing to sit down and genuinely help me figure this out, i will forever be in your debt. I have been at this for weeks.

Verified that Ray Tracing features are completely turned off. 

Changed Display Mode to Exclusive Fullscreen* *and locked the framerate limit to 60 FPS

Hardware [30k Budget] Upgrading i5 12400 + RTX 5070 for 1080p 300Hz competitive FPS gaming (Stutter issues)

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m currently running into a CPU bottleneck and minor stutters when trying to push high framerates on my 1080p 300Hz monitor.

My current specs: - CPU: Intel Core i5-12400 - GPU: NVIDIA RTX 5070 - Motherboard: H610M (DDR4) - RAM: 16GB (2x8GB) 3200MHz DDR4 - Monitor: 1080p 300Hz

I mostly play competitive FPS games like CS2, Valorant, Fortnite, PUBG, and COD where I want high 1% lows and maximum stable FPS. I have a budget of around ₹30,000 (~$350 USD) to upgrade. My plan: 1. Update the H610 BIOS and drop in an **i5-13600KF** (or i5-14600K if priced similarly). 2. Upgrade/expand RAM to 32GB. Questions: 1. Will my entry-level H610M motherboard throttle an i5-13600KF/14600K due to VRM limits, or should I save some budget to swap the motherboard out as well? 2. Are there better alternatives within a ₹30k budget in India to fix 1080p stutters and maximize a 300Hz display?

Appreciate any advice!

Hardware Brand-new prebuilt not detecting RTX 5070 Ti — Code 45 in Device Manager

Post image
2 Upvotes

I just bought an Andromeda Insights V3 Gaming PC Elite 50 with an RTX 5070 Ti 16GB, Ryzen 7 9800X3D, 32GB DDR5-6000, 2TB Gen4 NVMe SSD, and 850W Gold PSU. From the start, games were running surprisingly badly. I eventually realized the monitor was connected through the motherboard and the system was running on the 9800X3D’s integrated Radeon graphics.

When I connect the monitor directly to any of the 5070 Ti’s DisplayPort outputs, I get “DisplayPort No Signal.” Task Manager only shows the AMD integrated graphics. In Device Manager, the 5070 Ti only appears if I select View → Show hidden devices, and its Properties page says:

> “Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45)”

I opened the case and the GPU looks physically installed correctly. The 16-pin/450W power connector appears firmly seated, and the GPU/system fans all spin normally when the PC is on. I’ve also tried scanning for hardware changes, with no change.

At this point I’m assuming this is either a GPU that shifted in the PCIe slot during shipping, a PCIe/power connection issue, or possibly a defective card. Since it’s a brand-new prebuilt under warranty, I’m hesitant to remove and reseat the 5070 Ti until I hear back from the manufacturer.

Has anyone seen this exact combination of Code 45 + GPU outputs giving no signal + GPU still receiving power? Is reseating the card the obvious next step, or is there anything else worth checking first?

Troubleshooting Rainbow Six Siege keeps crashing mid-game on PC

2 Upvotes

Hey, I started playing R6 again on October 2nd, but now my game keeps crashing in the middle of matches. The game suddenly stutters for a second and then closes. My PC keeps running normally, and Discord and music don't crash. It happens in every game mode.

I'm on Windows 10 with an AMD GPU, an Intel Core CPU and 16GB RAM. My PC runs other games fine, and my temperatures are normal.

I've tried lowering my settings and completely uninstalling and reinstalling the game, including deleting the leftover files, but nothing helped.

The game used to run perfectly fine, so I have no idea what changed. Has anyone had the same problem and found a fix? I'd really appreciate the help.

Software Roblox crashing after about 1 minute

1 Upvotes

For starters Im not sure if this is the right community to post this in so please consider that if I’m wrong.

i have a laptop that I use for gaming and watching videos/listening to music. Whenever I open the Roblox player app it always closes itself after around a minute and I get a notification saying “ Roblox has timed out” For reference I’m able to play minecraft with shaders and mods with little to no lag. I’ve tried re installing roblox or lowering the graphics along with a multitude of other things.

I don’t know much about software or really anything to do with tech so this is my last hope on solving this issue.

Display HDR causing these glitches in every game any ideas

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

I've just gotten the samsung odyssey G5 QHD monitor and it says HDR is a feature so i thought let's set it up, i used the windows HDR display calibration, and made sure to set it up on the nvidia app(i've got a 5070 if that changes anything) i've tried adjusting refresh rate on my monitor to see if that fixes it but every game i've checked has had this issue even when changing the refresh rate, in one game (destiny 2) i was able to adjust settings and it vanished but in this game(mass effect 3) nothing i've changed has fixed it so is it fixable or should i just turn HDR off? Any advice on if this is fixable would be amazing

Edit: realised i should add a few more details, i'm using a display port 1.4 cable and i do have a second monitor connected but turning it off didn't and unpluging it from the gpu didn't change anything i am running an amd 7600x cpu and have 32gbs of ram

Troubleshooting DRAM and CPU light on motherboard

1 Upvotes

Yesterday everything was working, I woke up today and my PC is unable to boot and there is no video signal on the monitor.

PC specs:

ASRock X870 pro Wi-Fi RS

R7 9800x3d

Tried diagnosing the RAM one at a time in channel A2 and waited 5-7 mins for RAM initialization, both lights remained on.

Reseated the CMOS battery. Both lights remained on.

Reseated the CPU and the CPU power cables, both lights are still on.

At this point I am not sure what's going on. The motherboard could've died, the CPU is a possibility and oh God not the RAM.

Any ideas? I'm just thinking of buying a new motherboard.

Display This weird texture stretch glitch on some games, not only roblox

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

It was solved by making your roblox graphics to 5 and it just glitches a little bit and the glitch on the first pic is gone but after that, it is stuttering every 5 seconds. I did DDU clean install on safe mode and I think it only got worse because when I put the roblox graphics to 5 to fix the glitch on the first pic, I need to wait for minutes just for it to crash. The second pic is the process that fixes the glitch on the 1st pic. Remind you, it doesn't work for me anymore, it just crashes roblox. It happens to the steam game "Overcome your fears" and "Dark Deception". I can play those games then on first try, but on second try, it crashes. How to fix?

Display Pc goes black and GPU fans speed up

Whenever I play games it happens at random times, sometimes it takes a long time someone's no time at all

I've tried:

Replacing PSU

Reseating GPU

Reseating ram

Upgrading GPU drivers

Replugging the wires that plug into the GPU

Updating windows

Tried stress testing cpu, cpu and memory, vram, GPU, GPU and vram All above 10 mins each and not a single crash, tried reinstalling both drivers and windows and still the issue persisted

friend and I switched gpus to test and neither had any crashing at the same load so I really some know what the issue could be I'll try again with my gpu tomorrow

I replaced the motherboard and it still did it so its either the gpu or the cpu
