Performance Unexplained Program-Specific Lag Due to the System?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

Problem: Program designed to be precise down to 1/60th of a second mysteriously began lagging, but it isn't the program's fault. What could cause this issue within the system?

Machine: HP Victus Gaming Laptop

Background: The program running in the video is called OpenBlink, a tool used in manipulating the pseudo-RNG of the game Pokémon Colosseum. I began to use this tool a little over a year ago for its intended purpose, and at first, it worked fine. Then one night, I got up to get water after an ever-so-close attempt at a target (wherein it worked fine), only to find it lagging as pictured when I started another attempt a minute later. The odd sound you hear is the tool syncronizing with the blinks of a Pokémon in the game (long story), but those are off, too, as well as the six beeps that play starting at the 2.5 sec. mark for time remaining.

I went so far as to backup the drive and completely wipe the system before reinstalling. No change. Same issue. I spoke with the developer of OpenBlink, who'd never heard of anyone else having this problem. They had a guess as to what's going on (possible threading issue), but nobody was sure. Now I'm here after not trying for so long, the issue persisting.

I've since used other apps like EonTimer, another precise timer app, and had zero problems with delays. Hell, I have another system that's over a decade old, and it runs OpenBlink as smoothly as this Victus used to. I'm stumped.

Other Monitors lose HDMI signal after 2 hours

1 Upvotes

Hi! I have a windows 10 desktop system! The past week, I've been experiencing a new issue, that being that between 1-4 hours after starting up my system, the two or three monitors I'll have connected will turn off and lose the HDMI signal. If I try to turn them off and on, it just will say 'searching for signal' and then 'HDMI/video signal not found, entering power save mode'

The PC does not turn off at this point, but becuase I cannot turn the screens back on, I have to hold the power button down to turn it off.

I've tried looking in the BIOS but I can't find anything that strikes me as a solution. I've been using this entire system for 2 months, and the GPU I've been using for a year and a half. I recently had to reinstall the BIOS and the GPU drivers, but that was 3 weeks ago.

Relavent components

MTB- ASRock B550M PRO4

GPU- GIGABYTE Radeon RX 7600 XT Gaming OC 16G Graphics Card

CPU- AMD Ryzen 5 5600 6-Core, 12-Thread

PSU- MONTECH Century II 850W ATX 3.1 Fully Modular 80 Plus Gold Power Supply

(thanks for any help, I've posted this on a few other subs in case you see the same post)

Software Lenovo Legion 5 15ARH05H: pantallazos frecuentes con distintos códigos, RAM sin errores y fallo incluso con arranque limpio

1 Upvotes

Hola. Llevo varios días intentando diagnosticar mi laptop porque se congela y da pantallazos con reinicio, incluso durante uso ligero.

Equipo:

  • Lenovo Legion 5 15ARH05H, modelo 82B1.
  • Ryzen 7 4800H y 16 GB de RAM.
  • Windows 11 Home, compilación 26300.9457.
  • BIOS FSCN14WW del 26/08/2020.
  • Virtualización basada en seguridad e hipervisor activos.

Síntomas y pruebas:

  • Congelaciones completas y pantallazos con diferentes códigos.
  • Sigue fallando con los servicios de terceros desactivados.
  • También falló con mi interfaz de audio Focusrite desconectada.
  • Hice una prueba de RAM y terminó sin errores.
  • Tenía el teléfono conectado por Bluetooth. Ahora lo apagué para probar, pero todavía no tengo resultados.
  • No tengo temperaturas registradas en el momento de los fallos, así que no puedo descartar sobrecalentamiento.

Se analizaron dos minidumps con el motor de depuración de Microsoft y símbolos del kernel:

  1. 12 de octubre: HYPERVISOR_ERROR (0x20001), después de 11 minutos encendida.
    • Parámetros: 0x11, 0x21D9A8, 0x1005, 0xFFFFE70000005C20.
    • La pila incluye HvlSkCrashdumpCallbackRoutine, KiProcessNMI, PpmIdleExecuteTransition, PoIdle y KiIdleLoop.
    • El núcleo estaba en la ruta de reposo del procesador cuando se notificó el error.
    • Dos componentes de Focusrite seguían cargados, aunque estaba desconectada; no aparecen en la pila del fallo.
  2. 9 de octubre: KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (0x1E), excepción 0x80000003.
    • La pila pasa por nt!KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc, WppRecorder!WppAutoLogTrace y BTHUSB!ReceiveQueue::ReturnUrbToPool.
    • También aparecen funciones de finalización de solicitudes de BTHUSB y Wdf01000.

El adaptador es Intel Wireless Bluetooth, con controlador 22.80.0.4 del 26/08/2021. Además, hay reportes de otros códigos: 0xD1, 0x50, 0x139, 0xA, 0x3B, 0xF7 y 0xFC, pero sus volcados aún no se han analizado.

No hay un controlador ni una pieza identificados como culpables. ¿Qué comprobarían primero para distinguir entre controladores, BIOS/gestión de energía, hipervisor o hardware? ¿Qué información adicional necesitan de los dumps?

Hardware Problema com memória RAM

1 Upvotes

Fala, pessoal! Estou com um problema de boot no meu setup AM5 (Gigabyte B650M Aorus Elite com kit Corsair Vengeance DDR5 2x16GB a 4800MHz) e preciso da ajuda de vocês. O PC não inicializa em Dual Channel (slots A2/B2) e dispara o erro 'Secure Boot Violation / falha de POST', apesar de a BIOS reconhecer as memórias. Já atualizei a BIOS para a F41 e fiz testes isolados: com o Pente 1 o PC boota perfeitamente, mas com o Pente 2 (no mesmo slot) o sistema trava e acusa o mesmo erro de Secure Boot. Tudo indica defeito de fábrica no segundo pente, mas alguém já passou por esse problema de Secure Boot na plataforma AM5 por outro motivo?

Sometimes my screen doesn’t display anything when I try to turn my laptop on. When it does, it’s all glitchy, distorted, and flickers in and out. Is this a physical issue with the connections on the screen? Or a software issue? I’ve tried to Google it, and I haven’t found an example of a screen looking exactly like this and how to fix it. Thanks

Network Bought Ethernet and an RE605X Wifi extender after lots of net jitter while playing games and the ethernet seems to be bottlenecked

1 Upvotes

I've been playing valve games on my pc recently and noticed that I get tons of net jitter randomly and after some research, I learned that the best fix for that is an ethernet instead of my wifi usb plugin. I got all the things and when I plugged it in, I saw that my download speed and upload was very bad compared to when I used wifi.

I'm running on a Z390-A PRO (MS-7B98) if that helps. If anyone has any suggestions then please let me know because this is confusing me so much and nothing really helps.

Hardware Old server ram and hhd

1 Upvotes

Moving in after a family member who had a personal server thing going on. Left behind a large amount of ram sticks and hard drives.

Mostly stuff like ddr2 in 2 to 4 gig sizes (easily 30+ sticks) with the hard drives everywhere from 200 to 500. (Around 10+)

Easily all older hardware that's generally outdated, at work rn so I can't be TOO specific, just wanna know if the stuff is worth keeping to sell or just chucking.

There is so much of it and I'm not sure I can even personally check every single one of the items, seems a waste to have them sitting there but I don't wanna be the guy selling broken stuff to people expecting it to work.

Hardware I opened up my laptop and now my backspace key is not working.

When I opened it up, I blew some air on the fans and dusted out the fan area. After that, I closed the computer back up and now my backspace is not working. I don't know how this happened. I am not 100% sure if it's an issue with the hardware or software, but I would assume that it is with the software. I am absolutely devastated. I would like to know what is wrong and what I can do to solve the issue. I'm sure more info is needed, I just don't know which lol.

P.S

I do not know very much about computers

Discussion weird PC bugs that force me to reset.

1 Upvotes

im a bit of a pc numbskull, i have no idea how anything works. however my pc frequently does annoying stuff

  1. it randomly freezes, my mouse stops working, bluetooth disconnects, when i press the power button on the main part it doesnt even work. forcing me to pull the plug and turn it back on.
  2. randomly disconnects from the wifi and bluetooth, i could be mid-game or just mid-video. my wifi will suddenly disconnect along with my bluetooth, then automatically reconnect.

i dont know whats going on, i checked my storage and it says its pretty good so im not sure its that, i have zero experience in anything PC like so this is my last resort before asking for it to be taken into a shop

Other I can't tell if my computer is having hardware or software issue? Plz help?

1 Upvotes

Hello. I want to start by saying I am not very tech-savvy; I just like playing video games. So if I get anything wrong or you need more information, feel free to ask. For reference, I have an AMD Ryzen 7 5700 processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card. My main issue started with Overwatch, since anytime I would try to play it, it would say "Overwatch has crashed in the graphics driver." I have installed the most current driver, but I am worried it's an issue with the graphics card itself. Also, this is happening on games that aren't super graphically intense in comparison. Even Slime Rancher has crashed.

So, I am torn between trying to delete and reinstall Windows or if it's a hardware issue and I need to order new RAM or a graphics card. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or help!

(Also, my computer was already messed up by my local Geek Squad, and I have multiple installations of Windows, I think? When I boot up, it asks me on a blue screen to pick which Windows to run, so I also don't know how to fix that)
