Hey everyone :D



I’m desperate for help with my pc system!



Specs:

Ryzen 9 5950X

RX 6800XT (Sapphire Nitro+)

32GB 3600Mhz Corsair RAM

Asus ROG Crosshair 8 Dark Hero

Be Quiet Dark Pro Power 11 850W

1x Samsung 980pro 1TB for my operating System (Windows 10 pro)

1x Samsung 970evo 1TB for my games



My issues:

1.) Low FPS, FPS drops, lag and stuttering in game

2.) Pc crashes giving me 2 black screens and a loud constant buzzing noise on my headphones



What I have done so far:

Reinstalled windows and all the drivers that come into play.

Established that its not a thermal problem.

Ran a RAM stress test.

No XMP profile loaded or any other overclocking.



Checked the PCIe cable connections on both ends -> this actually gave me quite the headache. I found out that some pins were not fully inserted on the PSU side. After pushing them back in the GPU wouldn’t even start. No RGB, no fans spinning, nothing.

After changing the PCIe cable and using a different slot on the PSU the GPU would turn back on just fine. However after just a few days of working like a charm everything went back to old habits. No, when my pc is under loads of stress, running the game and streaming it at the same time my pc crashes after round about two hours of workload.



I opened up the pc case and tried listening to the hardware. All I could hear was a sizzling electric noise coming from the GPU which I believe is just coil whine and the other noise I could hear was a very very quiet electrical noise coming from the PSU. Furthermore, upon starting the pc I could sometimes hear a dull buzzing (quite hard to explain what it sounds like) noise coming from the pc as well.



I’m pretty sick and tired of my pc acting up and me constantly gaming in fear just waiting for it to give me performance issues or crash out of nowhere.



Thank you for reading until here and taking your time listening to my stupid pc problems.



Cheers

Jonas
 
while I cant help with the FPS issues and those causes are many and varied, the screen going black and the sizzling electrical noises we'll have a crack at.

firstly I'd be taking the whole rig apart and reassembling on a piece of cardboard on the kitchen table or dining room floor.
that'll give you a chance to go over everything, clean components, stop any potential short, and get wires away from things potentially causing interference.

then see what noises are happening.

Hey Bruce :D

I‘ve always had my fans running at fix rpm and my temps were always okay. My GPU and CPU would both be around 75 degrees celcius. Nevertheless I turned it up a lil and also increased the rpm of my cpu cooler pump which didn’t really change anything with my temps but I’ve had absolutely no problems ever since. Maybe my GPU is just a lil more heat sensitive?! i have no clue...for the electrical noise I think it was just the coil whine from the GPU, no malfunction in the PSU.

Thank you for taking your time and I’m hoping that I’ve kinda solved the issue by giving it a lil bit more cooling. If not I will return and seek your help

Kind regards
Jonas
