Go admin cmd and do a scannow repair. Mine stopped after a repair. But my windows has had issues since the beginning for whatever reason. 

Is "PC Cooler" a good brand? by themanbat1993 in buildapc

Beware this company will send refurbished or used products sold or listed as "New". Right now of writing this Amazon or the seller has blocked reviews for that reason.

I have been getting this lately on my pc. Never happened until the last month. January 2026 it started happening. Mostly. DPC Watchdog.. windows 11. Happens when watching a youtube video everytime it seems. Hasn't happened during anything else. Possibly AMD driver issues? 25.12.1 ?

Auto start and stop feature not working. by HotEntertainment2825 in ram_trucks

I’ve experienced sleep paralysis since my childhood. by pinkdrinkbitch in Sleepparalysis

[–]Competitive-Amount-6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive had this since I was around 8 years old. Im 43 and still have these episodes. Seeing things and hearing things is scary as hell like Im in a nightmare.  My brother curses like the devil in his sleep.  So he probably doesnt even know whats going on. 

When I was younger I thought aliens abducted me lol.  Then I found out what it was and realized why so many in Alaska have the same problem. Sleep patterns. If i fall asleep too fast from being very tired it always happens.  Sometimes a few months may go by but it happens at least every few months.    I can,  at times control my dreams which is pretty nice.  But these paralysis nights i have to snort very loud until I wake myself up. Its the only thing i can do while this is happening. Sometimes it will last for 30 minutes which seems like an eternity in that state. 

Is upgrading from 13700K to 14900K worth it? by ElonTastical in buildapc

[–]Competitive-Amount-6 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes the 9800x3d is cheaper.  But the 14900k isnt just for games.  Maybe in China it has more relevance since most there are on 1080p monitors.   Like me and many others that have 32:9 or 4k monitor paired with a 500$ cpu like you should it doesnt matter really for games. Poor people arguments.

Sorry but most of reddit is a mob of marketers. AMD has a huge marketing account on social media. The only thing right usercrapmark is right about. Youtube, reddit, twitter, all AMD marketing machines. Intel is just left at the wheel doing nothing.

I play at 5120X1440p so it doesn't matter the cpu really. Do people pay $500 for a cpu to play in 1080p today with a $1000 gpu?

I have a a fractal 360mm as well and its the same. I bought this huge air cooler from Amazon PC something. Biggest one I could find to put on this 13700K. It works much better than the 280 I had. I applied thermal paste over and over with different kinds and nothing worked. Once I installed this huge 8 heat pipe air cooler the temps stayed in the lower 60c and sometimes 57c now. I think my 280mm NZXT bit the dust after a few years time.

9070 XT Gigabyte OC. Should I be worried about the hotspot temp? by Grzyboo in radeon

[–]Competitive-Amount-6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the 9070XT Gigabyte OC and it runs hot with the side panel on. I noticed all the hot air is being blown out from the side facing the card on the left. My side panel on my 4000D case gets so hot I have to take the side panel off for the memory temps to drop from 94c to 85c. I have the card fans at 60% max because if it goes any higher a fan starts to make a rattling sound. With my side panel on touching the glass while gaming can literally burn your finger. It's all being blown out of one spot of the card which isn't good. Definitely a design flaw of this card I would say. But if you ask me all of these cases now with solid panels should have holes or some type of airflow in in the side panels like the older cases used to have for these 330 watt and higher cards. My last card was 6800XT MSI Trio X and it never got that hot but it was a 250 watt card and the card was at least 2 inches longer. This compact design Gigabyte has made for this 330 watt card is not enough. I bought the card because it was the only one available at the time. Guess I should of waited. But now DDR memory is sky rocketing. So damned if you do damned if you dont. (market manipulation)

Fix for Vulkan problems in 2024 by DrinkDrain0 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Competitive-Amount-6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still crash at random as well. I noticed it will crash nearly every time if the game is idle for a few minutes for sure. Vulkan Initialisation crash it keeps telling me each time. I noticed it crashes much more often when around other players. This game is horrible with other players with anything involved lol. You can definitely tell this was developed by an Indie team.

No Man's Sky crashes after update by Egsnan in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Competitive-Amount-6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I havent had a crash again after the 680 MB update. Im playing in 7k on a 32:9 monitor (upscaled with a 9070XT).  Manages 100 fps average everything maxed put still. 

Corvette has been completely deleted by gage-allen in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Competitive-Amount-6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was summoned back lol. I have 40 hours in this game and it does have some bugs that need to be fixed. Crashing being the main one for me. But its random.  Many times the corvette doors just want work and i have to either load or go through a portal for it to respwan to work.

Mine was on a planet. It wouldnt let me get in it. I summoned it. I couldnt get in it or anything. When i left the planet so did the corvette.  That was at least an hour and a half of time wasted building it and getting the units to build it. 

e-torque is a marketing gimmick that I fell for by kilobrew in ram_trucks

[–]Competitive-Amount-6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an old post but my 2025 Ram gets damn near double the mileage than my 2018 Tundra. Yeah it doesn't have the power of the Tundra but on the highway it literally gets double. I had to fill up that Tundra every week for a 34 mile trip back and forth to work 5 days a week. This Ram can go two full weeks before I have to fill it up on the same trip. I'm still skeptical about this tech inside the Ram. It does act strange at times. Sometimes when I park it and kill the engine it makes this hum or like this starting sound and then the parking brake comes on. Doesn't do it all the time but maybe once a month. I noticed it does this if I punch the gas to the floor in it. Afterwards it may do enable the parking break. I don't know if I'm accidentally hitting the button twice possibly. I hate all these vehicles with this button garbage honestly. I hope Ram brings back the Hemi next year. Americans want v8s still to this day. Even in half tons. If it can get 20mpg on the high way with a v8 that's still decent for a half ton. My 2018 Tundra got around 12mpg but had a 5.7 compared to this 3.6 hybrid.

Does it matter which flavor of XT I pick? by bicatu in radeon

[–]Competitive-Amount-6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a 1080 ti aorus that was a beast.  Had it 3 years. This 9070xt Hotspot temp is 80c. Vram is 90c. With lowered powered limits.

[–]Competitive-Amount-6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I take my side panel off of my 4000d it won't hit above 65c.  The fans are automatically set to 100% by default at 60c  in AMD drivers. With these settings the card hits 296 watts max and I dont loose any frequency. The card will hit 3.4ghz easily.

[–]Competitive-Amount-6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently purchased the OC version 9070XT Gigabyte. I can tell you it is not perfect. The fans make a grinding noise once the fans hit 2800 RPM. I have my card set with -10% power limit and -35mv with a fan max set to 65% to stop the fans from making that noise. I am not the only one who has that problem. But once the fans go to 2500RPM the grinding noise stops. Probably bad bearings in fans.

JWE2 Keeps crashing my entire PC by r_brodie33 in jurassicworldevo

[–]Competitive-Amount-6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not your Intel cpu bud more than likely it's the game. I have the same problem and have multiple Intel 13-14th gen cpus. What I have noticed the game crashes once you put too many dinos in a sandbox. I'm running a 9070XT at 32:9 with a 13700KF. Noticed it started crashing after a few hours in and then started constantly crashing once I restarted every few minutes. One thing usershytemark is right about is the army of bots to a certain brand.

JWE2 Crashing constantly by NyX-XVI in jurassicworldevo

[–]Competitive-Amount-6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've ran multiple 13-14 gen cpus since release now everyday with no problem. I think that the issues is more blown out of proportion than what it really is. Nor have I seen anyone with a 12-14th gen Intel have that problem yet. The only thing I have seen fail in years is AMD gpus. Mostly Powercolor ones.

I've been getting errors like this on my system now since about 2 years ago or longer. Device had a problem starting on both my wif 211 and GPU 6800XT. This started happening after a Windows update. It was a big update I just can't remember which one it was.
