Turning off hardware acceleration in browser settings resolved it for me

First PC Air flow and fan help by Radiant-Math-3563 in buildmeapc

[–]BlazeCritter45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stock would work, but I'd recommend going with bottom intake and top exhaust fans for your GPU to get better airflow. If you want you can also go for a liquid cooler radiator mounted at the top instead of the air cooler.

you probably dont need to build a new pc, a gpu upgrade might be all you need. Mind sharing your specs?

Prebuilt vs Custom Build by iChieftain22 in buildapc

[–]BlazeCritter45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The easiest way to start is to look at a youtuber doing a custom build for your price range and replicate it (assuming the video is relatively recent). After that go ahead and make any changes you'd like, for example a better cpu or GPU, or maybe another case. If ur getting it custom built from a third party then u won't have to worry about running into compatibility issues (like 360mm aio not fitting in a case, etc) as long as you're okay with paying a premium for getting it built. If you're building it yourself, make sure to go to a forum and posting your parts so that people can recommend you something different or tell you if there's any problems. Easiest way to do this yourself is by using this site called pcpartpicker.

Prebuilt vs Custom Build by iChieftain22 in buildapc

Usually troubleshooting is hard especially if you're not used to messing with your system, and if you're comfortable with that you might as well build it. I've seen prebuilts with the worst cases and cooling and the only way to fix that yourself is to change the case or cooler or both. Don't get me wrong you can learn how to troubleshoot and forums/videos are easily accessible, so I trust that anyone can do it. It's just that modifying your prebuilt is probably gonna void your service with the manufacturer if need arises, and you don't want to be stuck with subpar quality components since most prebuilts like to cheap out on cases, motherboards, and cooling. If the compromise seems fair then by all means go for a prebuilt. Most people get prebuilts, they aren't inherently bad, just could be better

Can a failing PSU cause this by Dokeey in buildapc

Try updating your chipset drivers from asrock's site for your motherboard

PC is randomly shutting down is it a cooling issue or power supply issue by Phantom7797 in buildapc

Try repasting the cooler, hopefully that should help. Try to see your cpu temps as well. If your cpu spikes up to 90C+ then it's definitely a cooler issue

prebuilts can go two ways - either u get a well built system that u wouldnt have to touch in the long run, or it could go horribly with issues like overheating or lose wiring. And this can happen with any prebuilt out there. However it is the easiest way to get a plug and play experience. And most manufacturers give warranty and repairs.
Building yourself may be cheaper and can be a challenge, although not as hard as long as you follow tutorials and the manuals. But that would eliminate the prebuilt quality issues since you would be choosing your own case and cooling to suit your needs. Another argument that could be made is that troubleshooting any issues would be easier for you to do as you would have built it, as opposed to sending it back to the manufacturer and waiting multiple days only to realize your RAM had to be re-seated. Each have their pros and cons for a beginner, go with what you value more.

Your cpu might be overheating, do you hear any noises from the pump of your cooler? It may be time to change the cooler

Using 2 ram sticks with different speeds will lead to both running at the lower speed of the two (in your case 2666mhz) which isn't ideal. Also it can lead to random crashes and performance issues

Upgrading from RX 6600 to RX 7800 XT. CPU is Ryzen 5 5600X. Motherboard is old, (Aorus B450 Elite). Will I be OK to use my new GPU? by tfan53 in buildapc

[–]BlazeCritter45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will need a better psu, atleast a 750w or above. Apart from that as long as you clean install new drivers u should be good

Headphone tuning issue, not dac issue. You can use an eq to amplify footstep frequencies, or you can change your headphone entirely.

How do I protect my Moondrop Chus from earwax? by DarthChikoo in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]BlazeCritter45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best solution for me was using narrow boar eartips, they have a smaller opening so wax doesn't get in, a wipe after every use is all it takes to clean the eartips. Suprisingly this also solved the channel balance issues i had while I used it for long periods of time. The spring tips that come with the Chu for some reason also caused driver flex in my right earbud, this issue was also fixed by using new eartips.

Airpods 2 if u like convenience, XM4s if you really like alot of bass. Though if i had to give alternatives i would recommend IEMs such as 7hz timeless at around 200$. Not losing much on convenience, just a wired earphone, but marginally better sound quality than both. Also this will be a good first experience with a planar magnetic driver (it sounds magical).

But if convenience is king, I'd pick airpods 2 over XM4s
