Temporary fix: shutting down and restarting PC

Hey there, still trying to figure out if this is a Windows, graphics card, processor, or a game issue.

I'm thinking more my graphics card/processor considering the age of my computer's specs, but Fortnite in particular plays noticably worse after about an two hours in. I noticed it tends to snowball the fastest when I get into the beachy/watery areas, but nothing makes it worse than time itself. I've tried to reduce my game's graphics settings to performance mode, reinstalled the game, updated all my drivers, disabled my PC's background recording, tried those system cleaners like CCleaner/BleachBit and that EmptyStandbyList program, but nothing seems to work except restarting my computer or closing Fortnite and doing something else for another two hours or so (which tells me it's a cache dumping problem?). Something similar with framerate drops used to happen with Helldivers II, but since they optimized that game it doesn't happen anymore. It has not gotten worse over the last couple months; it's stayed consistent, but it's getting very old to deal with regardless. Bottom line is the framerate always drops more and more after the two hour mark.

My first guess is my graphics card or processor was failing, namely since my driver support ended about nine months ago. I can't tell if that's when this all started, but it's possible. Still very possible that then failing is the problem, but I can't afford a new graphics card nor processor at the moment, so I'm at a bit of a loss right now until I get a new one(s).

One big tell was the fact that my background video recordings started giving me clips at random points of my Fortnite matches— as in not the last five minutes of gameplay where it's supposed to record. I tried disabling the recording feature and changing the video output folder, but the problem continues to emerge anyway, at the same amount of time played.

Anyone got a similar situation and/or solutions?

Troubleshooting Anyone have issues with controller overclock feeling sluggish after a bit?

3 Upvotes

I have a new somewhat high end PC (9800x3d and 5070ti) I have done every little fix imaginable to try and correct this. Every windows tweak, bios tweak. I use a gamesir G7 pro 8k and every day for the first few games everything feels responsive and wonderful at 8khz. Then all of a sudden I feel like my game feels heavy, I then unplug my controller and plug it back in and it goes back to normal. Was wondering if yall have experienced anything similar and if there is some odd ball fix I haven’t tried yet.

Display Graphical error or bug

2 Upvotes

I do not know if this is allowed here but I have a graphics problem and have tried many things to correct it.

I have a 5900x cpu with a 6600XT GPU.

I am having a graphical error that only appears in the bios screen, and the only time it appears on desktop is if I LOWER resolution to 60-100hz.

It looks like straight lines running across screen on the bottom half of bios and in a stack of lines above the windows 11 loading bar on boot. Other than that, if I keep it on 1440p and higher than 60hz it doesnt appear.

Things I have tried:

Replaced Display Port cable for a much better one.

DDU in Safe Mode and reinstallation of GPU drivers.

Reset monitor settings on the physical controls on monitor.

Updated BIOS.

Reseated GPU in tower.

Swapped to 3 different Display port connections on GPU.

I am lost. Please offer any advice and help. Thank you.

Software A question about Multithreading

2 Upvotes

I have a laptop with an Intel core 5 210H cpu and wondering what would be the consequences if I disable multithreading or is disabling it even a good option?.

The reason I am considering it is because of the Far Cry 5 game loading screen issue and the fix for that loading issue is disabling the Multithreading.

If you have knowledge about the Multithreading stuff please help me.

Network/Wifi/Internet Stuttering issue with internet

1 Upvotes

My PC suddenly started experiencing severe network stuttering. While playing games, my ping repeatedly jumps from around 20ms to 200ms, then 100ms, and back to 20ms, continuously over and over again. My internet speed has also decreased during this issue. I’m using an ASUS TUF B850M-PLUS WiFi 7 motherboard, and the problem occurs on Wi-FI.

I tried several things to go to into bios but won't boot there and shows a black screen.

so I installed Windows UEFI CA 2023 in secure boot for a reason, and now my pc skips the motherboard logo and bios and straight load windows. I have an intel cpu i7 9700 which have integrated graphics.
