the problem came back a few days ago so i asked someone to reopen this post. i think ive tried everything i could have without replacing hardware. anyone has any ideia of what is likely to be the problem? i tested the ram some more and when i have two of them, when i used ram 1 alone and turned on the pc, i lost signal without even opening a game. when i tested ram 2, i could open the game and stay there for a few seconds, so maybe its the ram and theyre both bad, but one of them is worse? anyway, i tested ram 1 more and i didnt lose signal on the lock screen any other time, so maybe it was just a coincidence, but i dont know. i’d guess its either the ram or the psu. also maybe worth mentioning, before this temporary fix, most of the times i lost signal, i also lost sound from the game. but now most of the times the sound stay, but it sounds like a loop of the most recent sounds before losing signal? its just a few seconds loop of some sounds, no new sound ever comes up, and any music that should be playing just stops.Comment

Ok so I messed around with some CPU and memory settings in the BIOS and that managed to let me run one of the games where I lose signal for like 2 minutes, which is better than what I was being able to do most of the day. When I did lose signal, I heard the CPU cooler fan going slower. I had set it to full speed in the BIOS, so since at the same time I lost signal, the cooler fan also stopped going full speed, maybe that means what caused the signal to be lost was that for some reason I lost connection to the BIOS or whatever? That would explain why the fan would ignore the full speed setting I put on the BIOS right?Comment

I think it may be something to do with the ram. I changed some memory settings in the BIOS and I lost signal from just turning on the PC. I didn’t even have to open a game. Should I get new ram? At first I changed a few settings, this happened, so I took the cmos battery out and changed other settings and this happened again.Comment

I managed to play around 2 hours yesterday by limitating my FPS to 20 and using a way worse display resolution. I’m not sure if it was the fps or the resolution that made this possible, so I’m currently testing out if I can play with 58 fps in a worse resolution. It was working so far so made the stupid decision to increase the resolution and in around 5 minutes I lost signal, so I’m back to just play in a worse resolution with 58 fps.Comment

The problem came back after some time so I tried using the 2 ram at the same time, still lost signal, but after restarting the signal didn’t come back at all. It was already lost in the lock screen and I could hear some windows sounds but that’s it. I restarted again, still no signal. Took that ram out and turned the pc on, and there was signal. This has happened this exact same way two or three times already. I guess this proves the ram is the problem? In which case, which one should I replace it with?Comment

Let’s get another Speccy report to see what has changed.
And is there any chance you can get your hands on another PSU at all - friend, family, neighbour, work, spare parts box?
Otherwise, for me, I’d be saving my files, getting all the software and codes/keys ready, and wiping it all and reloading Windows from scratch.
You’ll get the rig back to bare bones with no other software to blame.
You then load the necessary graphics drivers etc, then load one game and test as is.
If all good, load some other software and test the game again.
If you lose signal, it’s got to be the hardware or the currently installed software.
But of course, we’ll always come back to the possibility it’s the PSU.Comment

I’d say it’s either the RAM or the PSU.
One of the RAM did too many weird things so it’s hard to ignore it. Plus I found out I buyed my RAM in a site that isn’t very trustworthy.
Since the RAM is cheaper, do you think I should replace mine with either of those two? RAM Kingston Fury Beast, 8GB, 3600MHz, DDR4, CL17, black or
RAM Kingston Fury Beast, 8GB, 3200MHz, DDR4, CL16.
I wanted a 3600MHz, DDR4, CL14, but I couldn’t find any in a trustworthy site. It’s harder to find high quality products in the country that I live, especially ones that aren’t ridiculously expensive.Comment
