    Mysterious PC Crashes

    Installed the 750W PSU a week ago and haven't had any issues since. Also didn't realize how big of a difference modularity makes in terms of air flow and cable management, I know I won't be going back. Thanks everyone for the help!

    Mysterious PC Crashes

    Memtest came back normal. Went ahead and ordered the new PSU, should be here within the next few days. Hopefully that's the issue, but even if not, I was going to need a new PSU eventually anyways. Thanks for the help! I'll post back when I've installed the new unit and tested it.

    Mysterious PC Crashes

    Thanks Lt, SPC and SGT. I will run memtest shortly and then order a PSU assuming all comes back normal. How does this look? Buying from Canada, hoping to find something that will come soon-ish with Prime.

    Mysterious PC Crashes

    I don't have an extra PSU, unfortunately. The PSU is as old as my computer, bought it brand new in August 2014. The following temperatures were taken after about 20 minutes of the Witcher 3 running, in an instance where it did not crash on load up:

    Mysterious PC Crashes

    Thanks for the prompt replies, much appreciated! - No overclocking of any sort. - Yes, I've been monitoring with OpenHardwareMonitor. Fan inputs and outputs are clear, I replaced and upgraded the case fans only a couple of months ago. There is a CM Hyper 212 Evo on the CPU (it's been there...

    Mysterious PC Crashes

    Hey all, I've been dealing with some strange PC crashing recently that I haven't quite been able to nail down. Basically, when I launch certain games (the two in particular that have triggered it are The Witcher 3 and Jedi: Fallen Order), my entire PC sometimes crashes and immediately...

    Headset Recommendations

    Thanks SSG! Didn't notice that one. I knew there was a recent thread in this forum but it had a lower budget. Cheers!

    Headset Recommendations

    Hey all, My 2.5-year old Logitech G933 wireless headset is unfortunately on its last legs. I am wondering what would be a good option to replace it with. Ideally wireless, but my ideal budget would be ~$150 CAD ($115 USD), so I'm also amenable to wired options if that's all I'll be able to get.

    [SOLVED] Some General Questions

    Hey all, I have a couple of questions that have been lingering for a little while now. 1. Is it possible to delete a poll without removing the thread? I've looked all around but haven't been able to find an option to do so. 2. Is it possible for one to make the Zeus watermark disappear from...

    Mysterious WiFi Issues

    Copy that, thanks TSgt. Is it SmackDown or RAW?  8) Understood SGT! I'll take a closer look at the layout and potential cable route. Thanks everyone for the help. I wasn't expecting so many responses so quick. As soon as this is squared away I'll be able to fill in for you all!

    Mysterious WiFi Issues

    I went ahead and ordered this since it was on sale and since I know someone who has been using it without issues. I didn't buy an ac extender because again, my router only goes up to n. It's something I've encountered when researching how to fix this, and something I'll consider if the range...

    Mysterious WiFi Issues

    Copy that, thank you PFC. I'm going to talk to my roommates and see if I can run a long-ass Ethernet cable across the apartment somehow. If not, I'll go the extender route. Thanks for the help everyone.

    Mysterious WiFi Issues

    TS is a useful benchmark because it has the persistent ping indicator at the bottom right. I don't completely lose Internet connection under load, but enough to give me extremely high TS ping at the peak (~1500+ ms) which causes the connection to be lost. I can still browse the Internet, albeit...

    Mysterious WiFi Issues

    I've tried both viable PCI-e X1 slots (a third one is unusable as it's practically on top of my GPU). Also, one of the alternative cards I tested (the TP-Link) was regular PCI.

    Mysterious WiFi Issues

    It's not an issue when wired. I lived in a different place from August-May and had no problems on Ethernet (unless there were server problems). It's when the PC is under load in general. If I use something like Folding@Home (which puts the CPU and GPU to work running calculations for a...

    Mysterious WiFi Issues

    I live in Canada, in Quebec (so relatively eastward, closest US states are VT, NY, NH). I have the latest drivers for the WiFi card and for my GPU. The card drivers are a couple of years old but they're downloaded straight from ASUS and they're listed for Windows 10 x64; Windows also can't find...

    Mysterious WiFi Issues

    I moved out a couple of weeks ago, and I've been using WiFi ever since because of the apartment layout (wired is not an option). In my previous place I was using Ethernet, so there were never any connection issues. I've had severe connection issues and drops starting with my squad training last...

    Mod Links Needed

    I am home for the weekend for Canadian Thanksgiving, and thus away from my usual PC. I will be using my brother's PC for the TFB op, but I need to download the 506th mods once again. If anyone could send me a PM with the relevant links, it would be greatly appreciated. PV2 McDougall
