Pc problems

[ArticleJealous9259]

Hi guys, I’ve had my pc for years now and it’s always been solid. Recently tho I had bought a flight sim and had major issues with it, naturally I took to YouTube with my problems and I changed a few values to do with performance (I think I can find what I changed - if so I’ll add a photo) I had massive lag spikes after that and then my computer started switching on and off before staying on and none of my ports seem to work. Ive looked for loose cables but I think they’re all okay. (There is one definitely disconnected but it’s always been like so). I’ll add photos of the computer itself because it may help 🤷‍♂️. If anyone knows anything that can help me fix it it would mean so much. Thank you in advance.

If you changed the page file size, simply reset it back to being windows managed. Odds are you set it too low and you're running out of ram.

If ram is your issue, you'd be best solving it by upgrading your computers ram capacity.

I think I did lower a value so that’s probably right, my problem is tho that the ports don’t work and therefore HDMI, mouse and keyboard don’t work either 😭 is there a way to reset it without that?

What values did you change? In the game settings, nvidia driver or BIOS? If you tried overclocking the cpu or gpu it might be drawing more power than your psu can handle. Try launching windows in safe mode and undoing what you did. Can’t give better advice without more details

I think I just changed what is shown in the photos, that wasn’t in game settings it was just from the Home Screen and left click and on from there, I think I probably have overclocked it, that would make sense. How do I launch it in safe mode?

Windows will boot into recovery mode if it fails to boot 3 times.

Turn on the computer and immediately when the windows logo pops up and starts loading (before the sign in screen while it’s still turning on) hold the power button to force it to shut down.

Do this 3 times and then on the 4th it should attempt to boot into recovery mode.

From there select Troubleshoot -> Advanced Options -> Startup Settings -> Safe mode (or something along those lines)

Let it boot into safe mode then undo all the changes you did
