New pc build crashing in game

[Battlepants]

Have you ever heard of an issue like this being caused by an hdmi cable? I couldn’t find the cable that came with my monitor so I’ve been using the one that came with my apple tv.

No need to purchase Memtest, the Pro version only offers more features and does not make any difference of how many times that you can leave it to run.

Not sure about it being the cable as you would expect to get display issues rather than crashing.

I tried changing the number of passes in the settings, it wouldn’t let me do more then 4…

Also I tried a different hdmi cable and that wasn’t the issue lol

If you got four passes again it is unlikely that it is the RAM that has a problem.

What was the computer doing at the time of the latest crash and can you describe the crash, certain behaviour can often be a good clue.

Use the free versions at the following two links.

Stress test your GPU with Furmark

Check your FPS with Valley

Ok so I replaced the mobo today just to make sure that wasn’t the issue. The crashes are the same every time. Only in games, cs go especially. Pubg I can sometimes play for about 20 mins or longer, theres also times it just freezes instantly. Impossible to predict. I’ll be playing and then the screen just goes white and the sound freezes. I can still hear sound but it’s just like a skipping CD almost. I’ve run unigine valley multiple times on ultra settings and get average of 80 fps. Running the furmark gpu stress test right now. It’s been going for ten mins and hasnt gone over 59 degrees.

mine shows me I have 2 keyboards.
double click each one and look at the Location to find the ‘real’ keyboard.

Not sure why you replaced the MB, I mentioned two weeks ago to not rule out the PSU as the cause and I would have swapped in a new PSU before the MB.

How long did you run Furmark for and did it crash at all.

Any update Battlepants?

Ok so just an update. I’ve fixed the crashing pc. It was a faulty gpu. I originally bought a gigabyte windforce gtx 1650 for the new pc build, crashed in the first game I played. I automatically suspected the gpu, so I brought it back to the retailer and they replaced it with another gigabyte windforce gtx 1650. Same crashing issue. How unlikely would it be to have two faulty GPU’s causing the exact same issue. After countless hours troubleshooting and diagnosing, not just by me but everyone here too, I replaced literally everything. So i decided to try a different gpu from msi. Problem solved.

I must have posted this in the wrong thread

good to hear you got it sorted.
