I've been getting BSODs when I play games
I thought it was from a heat issue since my CPU fan was on overdrive at7000 RPM, so I bought a new heatsink and case. It helped a little, but I'm still getting crashes during games. I was able to go from 5 minutes of Dragon's Dogma to about 30 before the system crashed.
I played DOOM for about 30 minutes as well before the game crashed. I was able to still hear sounds and the steam message bloops, but I couldn't do anything other than move the mouse. When I hit the power button on my case the BSOD appeared.
I looked at the minidump file, and it gave meBugCheck 1A, {41792, fffff680001d7fc0, 20000, 0}
Probably caused by : memory_corruption ( ONE_BIT )
Does that mean my RAM is dying, and if so, is there any way to actually see if that's the problem
just wipe your hard drive and reinstall your OS
>>344628098
I recently bought a new SSD, so I did a fresh install of Windows. This was the reason I got that hard drive, so that's not a solution
>doesn't post anything about hardware
>posts on /v/
you expect an actual response?
>>344627840
google memtest and run it
>>344628346
I posted on /g/, but didn't get any kind of response
>>344628468
Have you checked the temps at load? As long as it's under 90, your CPU should be fine
>>344627840
>7000 rpm
You fucking wot m8
>>344627840
That could be a number of things. Memory corruption doesn't specifically mean RAM, it could also be Vram (so your graphics card). I remember I had this issue on the very first cpu I built and it was because I didn't put my graphics card all the way in. So double check that. Next you are going to need to do some testing. Swap out videocards and swap out ram. If it's still a problem then its the mobo. Get memtest and run it.
Check your event viewer for other errors
Buy a console man, they are cheaper, and they run high end games more reliably. No muss, no fuss. Computers are good for indie games and emulation and single player and hacks and stuff, but if you just want to play dragons dogma, buy a 360, they are dirt cheap now.
>>344628659
I watched the temps using Speedfan and Speccy, but they never went above 70. My case felt hot, but that may be normal. >>344628840
I just rebuilt the computer today, so I don't think it's a problem with the graphics card being seated badly
>>344628712
This picture was about 5 minutes before the computer shut down.
>>344628941I already have all consoles
>>344628468
>Windows 10
found your problem.
Run memtest and if it is clear then boot into bips setup (press f8 or f12 on boot screen) and modify your DRAM voltage up 0.5V. I was getting random BSOD from memory_management and that ceased when i went from 1.5V to 1.56V on my RAM.
I doubt its your VRAM, that wouldnt give the memory corruption issue. If you built your PC yourself its possible you ESD'd a RAM stick and rekt a chip? Id suggest playing on one stick and then the oother to test if BSODs still come up
>>344629042
Problem solved then.
Just run Memtest my nigga. It'll tell you if your memory is corrupted. It probably is. Good thing RAM is cheap.
>>344627840
Just download more ram
>>344627840
Sounds like you are lacking on ram
>>344629042
>Taking a picture of your screen
Are you sure you know what youre doing OP?
>>344628468
I just noticed that the RAM says it's at 577MHz. Is that normal?
>>344629182
>>344629249
How many times should I run memtest to make sure it's okay?
>>344629339
He's not lacking on goddamn RAM at 8gb.
Like other anons said, run memtest.
You could also google the error code.
>>344629454
At least 8
>>344629454
Let memtest run over night or something so it can do a bunch of passes.
>>344629436
I wasn't sure how long my computer would be alive before shutting down, and I was trying to quickly send a picture to someone
>>344629470
It could be corrupted though
Does Windows 10 really throw obnoxious emoticons at you when it crashes? I wasn't going to install it anyway, but that really cements my decision.
>>344629542
Yes
>>344629454
DDR means Dual Data Rate.
Double that listed speed and that's what your ram is running at.
What speed ram did you buy?
>>344628468
>AMD garbage
>shit ram
>patriot SSD
Anon, you could have any number of issues when you're playing on a literal chinkrig. But here is a decent method of identifying problems.
Disconnect all non essential USB devices first, they can cause more issues than you might think.
Reinstall all your essential drivers, flash your bios, IE make sure it is NOT software related.
Disconnect your HDDs, run solely off your SSD.
AIDA64 stress test individual components and CPU cores. If you experience crashes constantly with the same test, you have found your culprit if it was none of the above.
Next time don't skimp so much on parts, save up and build a decent system as bottom~mid range gaming shit is usually just that, shit.
>>344629542

>>344629582
1600MHz
>>344629760
Is it hard to a read a thread bro? He posted his speccy right here >>344628468
>>344629791
AM3+ doesn't do 1600mhz unless you OC it I do believe, not that it really matters as an AMD CPU doesn't have any kind of real world gains from RAM speed in most cases.
>>344629791
Your ram is running underclocked.
Which means you never set it to the speed it was made for.
You've been running gimped ram since you installed it.
It's not causing your problem, but still bro
>>344629659
My shitty ISP does it to me every time my connection drops.
>Oopsies! :'O Something went wrong! :^( Let's try and fix it! ;^))))
Thanks, gaylords. That's a really useful error message. Not condescending or unprofessional in the slightest.
>>344629880
The board SURELY supports 1600mhz.
He just never set his AMP like an idiot.
>>344629935
That sounds physically painful to experience.
>>344629974
You are correct, looks like that board supports up to 2133. Do some people just not care if they don't use their components to potential?
OP this is what you get for using AMD.
>>344628453
This
>>344629907
I didn't realize ram speed had to be set. I'm trying to learn more about how computers work, but I'm still clueless about a lot
>>344630114
>This.
I'm sorry man but it's true. AMD fucking blows. I wish it weren't the case as thanks to AMD not being able to make a product that isn't dog shit, we now have an Intel CONSUMER CPU FOR $1750 FUCKING WHAT. Not to mention the Nvidia x80 flagships are now starting at 800 fucking hundred dollarydoos instead of 500.
Fuck, AMD man get your head out of your ass and save us with some CPUs and GPUs that arn't shit. Get rid of raptor while you're at it.
>>344630112
People tend to think ram is plug and play.
The fact that for a while, AMD didn't have an easy fix like XMP doesn't help.
>>344630208
I'm not sure about AM3+ boards but Asus boards usually have an idiot proof system OC in the bios that will clock up your CPU to an acceptable level along with set your XMP or whatever it is for AMD, for you.
I'm running memtest right now. I didn't see any options before it started, so will it do 8 passes on its own? I don't want to wake up and see that only one was done
>>344630350
You have to actually tell the board to both overclock and set your XMP.
It's quite possible the anon never booted to bios.
Also, nobody should use the board set overclocks, especially the higher ones like 4.X
They overvolt the chips to fuck and they always run hot.
>>344630294
Tell me about it, I can't get this shit to run at over 2400mhz and it's rated to hit 3400. XMP profile for it doesn't work for ass and just causes system instability. Kit apparently just doesn't like my board.. gskill rep is working with me to find the ideal manual OC for me though like a champ.
>>344630498
Surprised you can't just look up the timings and voltages.
>>344630478
Asus ones work great m8. My 5930k never gets above 70c and is at 4.6ghz @ 1.31v which is fucking golden.
Time for new RAM
>>344630575
It's a new kit, every forum I've gone to hasn't tried it with an x99 board and it's default XMP isn't optimized for x99. But I got it for $80 so, I can't really complain that I have to do some work to get it running perfect.
>>344627840
turn down fan speed too fast and it doesnt actually pull anything through.... probably
>>344630596
>My 5930k never gets above 70c
Under gaming or under prime, senpai?
When I tested out the 4.6 default on my 2500k, it shoved 1.41 in there and it ran mid 60s under W3 and hit 85c under prime.
Personally, anything more than 65c after an hour of prime isn't ideal.
When I set it myself I got the same 4.6 on 1.34
>>344630657
Well.
At least DDR3 is cheap as fuck.
Might as well pick up some 2133mhz. Helps with older overclocked CPUs.
>>344627840
I had a similar issue awhile back... tho mine was a 7870k processor. I tried every fucking thing and it nothing worked until I decided to buy whole brand new motherboard. Swapped out a msi mobo for a gigabyte one, using all the exact same parts except mobo, it solved everything. Never saw that blue screen ever since.
I honestly have no fucking clue what the msi mobo was doing wrong or different and still don't know.
>>344630657
Couldn't it be your mobo?
>>344630784
Aida64 stress got it to 68~70c after 2 hours. It's a full custom loop with 3 rads. I'm all for manual OC but it's pretty nice to have the option to just lazymode it and still get a rock solid OC.
>All this talk about RAM
>Look at my RAM specs
>Bought 1600 mhz DDR 3 RAM
Have I really been so underpowered this whole time?
Doesn't one error mean the RAM is bad? I'm at 10 right now
>>344631218
Actually, you're running at the right speed.
What CPU? If it supports 1600mhz, it will default to it.
>>344631296

Your ram is running at 1600mhz ffs.
>>344631259
Shit nigga... this is really bad. Keep the screenshots of this. Return your ram and use that screenshot as proof.
>>344631320
It's a miracle anon.
You somehow managed to set an XMP profile without using bios.
Somehow.
And for fucks sake, switch to 2133. You have one of the few chips that really likes fast memory with an overclock. Like, 10% extra frames in high CPU load games.
>>344631259
/g/ should have caught the timings and asked you if you bought chinkshit RAM.
Because I have a feeling you did.
>>344631412I don't even know what that is.And I haven't overclocked my CPU.
>>344631259
All your ram is utterly fucked dude
Get new ram. It's like 30 bucks for on sale 1600mhz.
>>344631398
I bought the RAM as a 2014 Christmas present to myself. I got a medium tier bundle off newegg, and have replacing everything on it since I got a job. Far too late for any returns
>>344631524
Please watch this video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frNjT5R5XI4
Then go to 2:10 to see how much performance you are losing by being cheap with ram and not overclocking your 2500k. Which is literally the easiest thing, since the 2500k is sturdy as fuck.
OP, are you in Seattle? I have some extra 1600mhz Vengeance ram that I was gonna sell.
check the power settings
if you over clocked anything too much itll cause blue screens
if you did set everything back to default and slowly test your overclocks one at a time and at one level at a time
>>344629540
True, but it's still not 'lacking'
>>344631747
It is since your memory is literally invalid

>>344631738
Read the thread.
His ram is underclocks.
He's using a single 8gb stick because he didn't know any better.
That stick is completely fucked and he needs new ram.
>>344631710IssaquahSorry, but I'd prefer to buy new RAM than preowned
>>344631831
Yes.
The oven trick works sometimes, for a limited time and can poison your fucking food.
>>344631874
Well, I was gonna give it to you brah.
.
RAM is cheap as shit. Replace it and properly clock it.
If you SOMEHOW end up getting more problems afterwards, it's probably a mobo issue. But I think you'd be having more issues than that if it were a mobo issue.
It probably isnt a GPU issue.
Ho shit, I just realized IM an AMD user and I never bothered to clock my RAM either.
>>344631846
did he try different sticks or is he PC noob and this is all starter gear?
>>344631621
Wow, that's quite a bit. Dunno if I can go to 4.6ghz though. My case isn't all that heat efficient.
>>344632182
The ram and motherboard are the only parts of my build left from the starter bundle. I didn't think to upgrade the RAM since to my knowledge it was working
>>344632167
>>344632332
are they supposed to be 1333?
>>344632284
If you have an after market cooler like an H7 or 212 and a single exhaust fan, you can do it.
>>344632332
Unless you ordered 1333, you're underclocked.
>>344627840
Just use Windows 7.
It works for me! :)
>>344632441

>>344627840
>use botnet 10
>gets meme'd on
>>344632450
I just so happen to have installed a 212 EVO a month ago along with all new fans. I suppose I'll give it a go around 4 ghz and see what happens.
>>344632516
Open your case
>>344632516
Check your amazon/newegg buy history.
>>344632516
That's a bit hard to find out blind. Open your case and tell use what ram you have.
>>344632539
You'll be surprised. 2500k is the overclocking KING up until about 4.7.
Even if you absolutely lost the silicon lottery, you should be able to hit 4.2 on less than 1.34 volts.
>>344631341
This, memory will often show up as the base clock in monitoring programs..
Quick question since this thread exists. Replacing the fans on my MSI 780 with a new pair of PLD10010S12HH since they're failing. Will I have to take the heatsink off or can I get around it?
Have you checked the crash dump yet? It should tell you exactly what the faulty module is.
>>344632553
>>344632596
>>344632608
Oh jesus, it's supposed to be 1600.
How should I properly remedy this situation?
>>344627840
go into your gpu settings program and turn off intigrated graphics
problem solved
Probably your RAM.
Try giving it a little more voltage.
>>344632730
You honestly won't get a noticeable difference in most things but go into your bios.
>>344632730
You're going to have to manually set it in bios.
Don't worry, you can't damage your computer in bios. Nothing to be scared of.
Go into bios.
Under the heading AI Tweaker.
Look for something called DRAM Frequency.
Change that from auto to the correct speed.
>>344632904
I'm pretty sure the problem isn't voltage
>>344632975
>>344633000
Sounds like something that isnt particularly urgent then. I'll probably look into it tomorrow.
Will I actually damage my shitty cheap ass ram if I put this off for too long?
>>344633037
The problem is, as we've said, you bought shit ram that has gone bad.
You'll need to spend 30-40 bucks on more.
>>344633084
No.
In fact, running at 1333, a move to 1600mhz will be imperceptible.
But if you build a newer computer or upgrade to faster ram, remember to set the speed.
Is this the tech support thread?
Everyday when I wake up now my computer is downloading something, I have no idea what, I've looked in the resource manager to try and find out but it just seems to be nothing. None of my hard drives are doing anything but I'm downloading at 1Mbs. It stops at exactly 7am but does the same thing the next day.
What the fuck is this?
>>344633084
No, your RAMS running below spec so it's fine.
>>344633086
I know. I'll be buying some more tomorrow. Is there a specific brand I should avoid, or anything like that?
>>344633154
Alright, thanks.

Windows 10 is known to cause memory leak and other assorted problems in many games. It's a real problem, people aren't just memeing you about M$ stealing your information.
I'd try making a boot partition for Windows 7 and seeing if you have the same problems.
>>344633249
I haven't downloaded anything suspicious and I'm pretty sure it's not a botnet. I'm worried that it might be Windows trying to update itself to Windows 10 without me realizing though.
I could be wrong and I could be mega fucked though.
>>344633204

I've only used 2 brands and they've been pretty good to me. Gskill and kingston hyper x. Never had issues with those two brands.
>>344633314
His ram is fucked senpai. Didn't you see the memtest results?

Oh right, W10 download is like 2gigs.
You can just delete the update and then find the .dat or whatever it is and delete that.
Just make sure you double-check your update settings.
>>344633404
That's the thing though, I disabled updates entirely last November. It shouldn't be downloading shit.
I genuinely have no idea what is going on, no matter where I look nothing seems to be happening yet I have network activity. If it was a botnet I don't understand why I'm downloading instead of uploading.
Underclock your ram or overvold it slightly.
Mine was rated at 1866 with 1.7V but I had to pump 1.85V to get it stable at that speed.

I don't have the patience so I disabled them outright to make sure I don't get any bullshit. I don't want Microsoft gathering data from my computer or anything like that.

I have a similar problem. I can play DOOM on high settings with good FPS, but it stutters consistently every minute or so for some reason. However other games like Battlefield 4 CTD 2 or 3 times every session, some games cause BSOD once in a while, and I have trouble unpacking big files sometimes.

But I now want to make a better PC since I dip into the 30s on any new game. Can I salvage anything from this build or should I just start from scratch when I start my new one. Also will my peformance increase if I set my ram to its correct numbers. (1600) since Im running it at half. yes I read above but he was at 1300 so he isnt too far off.
>>344640835
Depends on what you're gonna put together next. Keep the HDD and GPU tho.
>>344640835
Well you don't exactly have strong parts.
But with a little tweaking you should be able to hit 60s in a lot of games.
just turn down the AA.

>>344641409
My main gripe is Ds3. I lowered everything and turned shaders shadows ect. Low to the max. And it still dips to 30s.
maybe its a shit port but ds2 hits 60 like it was born too. And the new build in mind is gonna use the 1080 when its in stock. Any ideas on what other parts can I pair it with. Like intel or AMD? Also is my ram fine where its at? It says 1600 and 10-10-10-30 for intel items. Maybe im fine.

Speedfan is a worthless piece of shit. The sensor detection is poor, the automatic naming is a bad joke and it also pads the list with nonexistent sensors, and the other features are just useless bloat. HWMonitor is orders of magnitude better in every way, there's absolutely no reason to use Speedfan unless you're stuck in 2004 where good temp/fan sensing programs simply didn't exist yet

/v/, is there a website/YouTube channel I can go to learn more computer stuff. Want to build a PC but /g/ is shit and I don't wanna get memed on
Thanks in advance

you cpu is dying, run a stress test while monitoring temps retard
>>344630852
ram speed isn't important in games, you could literally pick 8 gb of 800 or 8gb of 2400 and the difference could be a maximum of 2 fps.
Realistically, how much would I need to spend to build a computer, capable of 60 FPS in shitty f2p MMO andWoW? My laptop died recently, I got it for free in 2012 and it lasted me till february but it finally shit the bed. I've been on a shitty desktop with an ultra-gaussed monitor, it's like hulk green tinted, and the desktop is literally dumpster tier. It was a $200 build in 2011. It can't handle 60fps 1080p youtube, just to give you an example, so it's got absolutely nothing I want to keep, even the mouse and keyboard i'm using are total garbage.
I have about $600 right now set aside for it. I was thinking of just doubling that, would that be good enough? I don't really need a 1000 series card, so I figure a 960/970 ought to be plenty for what I want to do, and hold me through a few years if not more till I decide to upgrade. The CPU is the biggest concern for me. I was thinking 6500 or 6600k.
I'm aware I could go AMD but I have no experience with them, at all. The last time I used any AMD parts was when I upgraded to play area 51, back in 2005, and that PC died not long after, and I just never bothered re-using the card for anything. So it's not that I don't want any AMD parts, I just have no clue how they are in comparison, because I haven't used them in forever and a day.
Also, does anyone have any advice on good monitors? I don't need anything special or gaming branded or whatever dumb shit, just a regular 1080p monitor would be nice. I've been on 900p for the last few years.
>>344636987
This. A $20-$40 one makes gives me a temp range of 14C idle, 40C during load (subject to how often you dust it of course).
I've only had a BSOD from Atom Zombie Smasher not supporting my specific card. Try checking forums to see if this is an issue others are having.
>>344646292
>$1200
Pretty decent. Though in my experience MMOs are all over the place in terms of performance. A build at this level should sort out some of the poor optimization, but really most performance problems are from the developer itself rather than your computer.

That's what I was basing it on. I'm playing riders of icarus,maplestory, runescapeand WoW, or, was, anyway. Those games don't have particularly high reqs, but I hop from fotm game to fotm game since I stream them, so the ability to future proof at least in some menial capacity would be nice.
>>344631218
798.1 * 2 = 1596.2 ~= 1600, anon.
Double Data Rate

Get a good motherboard with recent slots. This allows you to upgrade in the future (as in years from now) without having to rebuild your entire computer. $1200 should be able to last 5 years. And really by then you'll just be putting settings on normal/low rather than being unable to play new games outright (and by then normal settings will just be today's maximum settings). And it's nothing a GPU upgrade won't solve anyway.
>>344648191
If I get a new mobo wouldn't I need newer components otherwise too? I'm not kidding I don't have ANYTHING. this is total build from absolutely nothing, no case, no anything. A good mobo+cpu would be like 700 off the bat, that leaves almost nothing after I toss in the $230-240 for the GPU too. are 2011 socket mobos really the future?
>>344648556
$700 for a mobo + CPU is total overkill, try $400. LGA1150/1151 is actually superior for generic /v/irgin use because of the faster cores available on that platform, 2011v3 is just a giant waste of money for gaymen
>>344649568
That's what I thought, and why I was gonna go with a 6500. 2011v3 seemed like overkill ESPECIALLY for me. The only new game I am even remotely interested in is gonna be bannerlord, and I doubt that's gonna have super high reqs.

you will need an empty flash drive
>>344628941
Consoles ran dragon dogma with awful fps dips, which is important when you have skills requiring split-second timing.

This. If you have a faulty hard drive, it can still affect the machine even if you dont use it. Same with faulty USB devices AND USB slots.
Generally if games and the system run strangely slow or make the machine even freeze completely, its a sign of a hard drive dying and fast. Good thing is its relatively cheap to replace with a new one.
While this is here, I've been having overheating problems with my build for a while. I reapplied thermal paste to the CPU, dusted multiple times, made sure there was decent airflow, and even bought a 3rd fan, but I'm still getting pretty high temps. It's become such a problem that even having youtube open once in a blue moon while doing something else will BSoD my PC (as well as playing Overwatch on the lowest settings). I am not sure what it is and nobody has been able to help me.As for a side question, should I get an RX 480 for this build? Not looking to run everything at max setings. Just want to run some games at a higher quality while still getting 60fps. In other words, higher than my PS4
>>344650782
Is your cpu fan actually spinning? You didn't plug itto the wrong spot did you?
>>344650782
>those temps
holy shit man.
Jesus christ. It sounds like the fans aren't even on at all, especially with those temps. I'm amazed your parts haven't started fucking melting yet.
>>344650921
It's f, not c. It's not that hot
>>344629042
>-128°c
wut
>>344650857
>>344650921
All my fans are plugged in and spinning (and are loud as fuck). Here's my temps, more or less, when I'm running something. My GPU will actually hit around 170 playing OW (again this is on the lowest settings)
>>344627840
>Does that mean my RAM is dying, and if so, is there any way to actually see if that's the problem
Just download some more and you'll be fine
>>344627840
memtest86 dot com for system ram diagnostics
heat is your biggest enemy, you have 3 mechanical hdd's, them and their cables may cause some problems
I guess summer is also a problem (no pun intended)
overall, check your system ram and check your gpu and cpu thermal paste; they might just have given up, seeing the age
>>344651239
I think the gpu is aging. Probably dust you can't get, it's own thermal paste waning and fan not spinning. Your other Temps are fine.
>>344627840
Never got a single crash on all my consoles.
>>344651750
Guess it's time to get a new GPU then. Would an RX 480 be fine for this or would it be overkill?
>>344651896
I think it would be fine but you might see the bottleneck in the other direction now, cpu intensive games you'll have ffraame drops / limits.
>>344650782
>>344651239
>f
try using a real measurement unit of temperature maybe
>>344651239
>170 degrees FAHRENHEIT
That's about 76 degree Celcius. That's okay temperatures for an old blower-style card.
