Hi,so Im trying to fix my pc now for one month and no help till now . So this is my last hope i would say. First of all let me explain spec of my pc.
Cpu-Ryzen 5 3600
Gpu-amd 6600rx (8gb)
1tb of ssd
Psu is 650-700w
Motherboard-asus a520m-k
16gb of ram ( 1x16)
Os-windows 10

So after that is set ,here is my best try to explain situation im in rn. I got this pc around 4 month ago ,brend new ,hot it from official store here in Serbia ,first 3 months pc was doing great ,more than than and then something weird started happening. Im mostly playing valorant ,and that game is like ez to run on even old and rusty pc ,so i should not have problems with it on my setup ,BUT ,like i said one month ago it started doing something weird. When i boot game ,any game ,i get fps drops ,no matter what resolution i play ,no matter the setting of the game i play it always drops fps and its doing screen tearing while im moving my mouse ,but while im running in straight line its nothing ,nothing visible to eye at least. And one thing that i noticed is ,if i look at south ,west or north my game is doing fine ,but as soon i start looking at east my game starts dropping fps for like 70 and everything goes downhill after that. Only thing i was doing with settings on this pc was installing ryzen master and setting power plan to RYZEN BALANCED and i did that as soon i got my pc. Also i have new drivers that i got trough adrenalin software and trough amd official website also chipsets . I have tried more than 10 different drivers for gpu ,nothing made results . Also tried to uninstall ryzen master ,that also did not help . Clean up whole pc ,put thermal on CPU ,nothing helps so far. Cpu temp never goes above 75 no matter what i do ,also gpu never gets more than 60. I did 3 different type of benchmarks and nothing was showing any sing of problems with hardware. So please ,If someone is willing to help,just let me know ,we can set up a discord call or whatever u want ,im even willing to pay cuz im desperate to fix this problem . Gaming is my only breakout from this world and problems and rn not able to do it and im feeling useless in this situation . Thanks in advance and sorry for a super long post. Hopefully someone will have time and will to read it. Bye till next time,much love to yall .

Not all PSUs are made equal with some being good but others being so bad that they should ship with a fire extinguisher.

What is the brand and model name or number of the PSU.

Ryzen CPUs are notorious for not liking slow RAM and you only having the one stick means that it is only able to work in single channel which is causing a bottleneck

What is the brand, speed and model name or number of the RAM.

What are you using for AV protection.

Do you use a VPN.
 
So I opened my pc and find out that my PSU is Chieftec value 600w ,my ram is kingston ddr one slot (1x16),speed is 3200mhz model im not sure cuz its just a stick with nothing on it but Kingston name lmao .
Speaking of AV i dont use it ,only what win 11 provides and what comes with it ,also I dont use VPN .
 
This is model and some basic info about my PSU

To get the best from this computer a matching stick of 3200 RAM and a minimum of a 500W Gold efficiency rated PSU from a proven brand is needed.

Equally as important is to make sure that the Windows and system diver installation has been done properly.

The present PSU is so poor that it is rated as – Tier E • Avoid
 
On old pc i also had ryzen 5 3600 with 16gb of ram and FSP hyper k PRO 500w Psu and i had same problem ,u think it was also poor psu and ram problem?
 
A weak PSU cannot provide the clean and stable power that gaming rigs need and having only the one stick of RAM means that it can`t work at the speed that dual channel gives you, a 16GB stick of 3200MHz in single channel will typically work at either 1033 or 1200MHz etc, this causes a bottleneck.
 
So I took out RAM to see type and manufacturer I cant boot pc . Or better said my pc boots but i get no pic on monitor . I tried to switch slots for ram ,did not work,unplugged gpu and plugged it back in ,also did not work
 
Can I ask who advised you to do that.

Did you follow the safety precautions required by grounding yourself before touching anything inside the case.

Are you sure that you have connected the screen to the video card and not a video port on the MB.
 
Fixed ,I did not plug in RAM good,I was afraid that im gonna break it so i did not press enough.. my bad ..
 
So u think this fps drops and screen stutter will be fixed after adding more RAM and better PSU? And can u advise me for some PSU to get ?

Pleased to hear that, I thought the worst for a while there :eek:

You 100% need a matching stick of RAM and an appropriate quality and spec PSU.

As per all content in my reply #5, note the highlighted in red;

Be happy to suggest a PSU but before doing so need to ask, do you have any plans on upgrading the video card within the next few years, no point in purchasing a PSU now only for it to be too weak for any potential new GPU.

Is your GPU a stock AMD card or a third party such as ASUS or Sapphire.

Is the GPU still in warranty.
 
Whole PC is under warranty cuz i bought it from a store . I dont have plans on upgrading GPU also ,for games I play I rlly dont need an upgrade. Not sure about GPU ,will check when i get home from job,but I think its just an normal 6600rx AMD (8GB).
 
The store should know better than to put a PSU in there that was ( A ) Not from a proven good brand and ( B ) Not even Bronze efficiency rated, they have basically cheaped out on the PSU and left you to pick up the tab.

You are very limited with your choice of PSU, Antec have been around a long time and their PSU here suits your needs but if budget allows the 600W version here gives you room for adding a couple of extra drives further down the line.

Yeah,offers r kinda bad here ,PC equipment in my country is on ultimate low. I will get that gold 600W version for sure. Not sure will I buy more RAM right away cuz of the budget but im getting PSU for sure.
 
The new PSU is a must but you will not see the full improvement until you have RAM working in dual channel.

Anything else that we can help you with.
 
I have 2x8GB of DDR4 from old PC so I will put that for now . New PSU coming for sure asap .
