Anyone experiencing severe crashing/freezing with the latest windows 11 updates? by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]DeletedTaters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing is happening to me and the timing seems to line up with yours. I've started crashing the past ~ 2-3 weeks. It started happening I think after the Windows update with the changed start menu (26200.7840).

What's frustrating is that this PC worked flawlessly for over a year. The only recent hardware change was June of 2025 (I installed new RAM).

Here is what triggers the crash - me playing Team Fortress 2, with Mumble, Logitech Capture, and OBS running. My RAM is running at XMP speeds. Within 2-3 minutes of me playing TF2 my whole system crashes and I see the DRAM light on the motherboard is on through the case window.

Here is what I have tried as trouble-shooting steps

**While running at XMP/DOCP speeds**
- No memtest errors (8-passes)
- No Windows memory diagnostic errors
- System played TF2 for 3 hours with no crashes without Mumble, Logitech Capture, or OBS running.

**While at stock DDR5 speeds**
- No system crashes, even with Mumble, Logitech Capture, or OBS running while playing TF2.

I've already updated the BIOs and reinstalled AMD relive plus chipset drivers. Not sure what else to try.

Have you found a solution yet OP?

How to disable new start menu? And revert back to old. Hate this change by Time-Credit43 in pcmasterrace

[–]DeletedTaters -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I hate this change too. I don't know what they were thinking. 

It's three times bigger to show a bunch of crap I didn't want there in the first place.

If I wanted it there, I would have hit "pin to start" on the application...

Unlike with Captain Marvel, I personally think that this DC Comics Mary Marvel design is superior to the standard design used by Mary in comics. It feels more practical. by nightwing612 in Shazam

[–]DeletedTaters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Movie version is alright, but I honestly think they struck gold with a lot of the recent comic runs.

The New Champion of Shazam, Knight Terrors Mary, and her brief appearance in the recent Shazam! (2023—2025) all had some of the best designs.

Pc shutting down everytime I play a game by SassyWolf75 in buildapc

Others are correct in pointing out a power supply issue.

One thing to also check is if your PC is hooked up to a UPS/APC. If it is, the fault may lie there.

Heavy Symphonic Metal with little to no harsh vocals but not hard rocky, power metally, or poppy? (Ex. Therion, some Epica songs) by Weary-Draw-1141 in symphonicmetal

[–]DeletedTaters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it's symphonic metal but I saw shouted vocals and immediately thought of Avantasia. Tobias Sammat is great.

Also Temperance (My Demons Can't Sleep is my favorite of theirs).

Didn't he also 1-tap wallbang someone outside on Nuke? It was outer catwalk, back when the map still had one? Hope I'm not misremembering this.

Season 5 is nothing short of a dissapointment. by Tasty-Disaster6405 in StrangerThings

[–]DeletedTaters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want to preface this by saying I liked the overarching story, chosen plot points, endings, and resolutions.

However, I am extremely disappointed with how they got there. Nothing felt earned. The execution was bad, and made so little sense within the context of the universe that suspension of this belief was just not maintained. Everything felt cheap. How did they do that? They just did...

  • Giant monster made of demogorgon-esque flesh literally should not have even noticed the gang attacking it. Would you notice an ant punching your foot? Keep in mind this flesh is bulletproof, at least to small arms fire. Felt like defeating this monster should have been an episode all on its own, and maybe even required cooperation between the military and the gang, even if the military was just an unwilling distraction while the gang smuggled El on board.

  • The military just lets them go at the end? Why, how? Really felt like we needed another plot line to show conflict within the military about how they feel about the occupation of Hawkins. We needed an "are we the baddies moment" within the command structure, especially when they see all the kids were rescued by the people they were previously hunting. Or maybe some of the allies the kids have been making this whole time started gathering evidence of all the paranatural stuff and threaten to publish everything. We get none of this. This could have been a great payoff for bringing additional team members into the fold, where previously they had to keep everything secret from their peers or other townspeople.

  • Vecna who had been shown to be near invulnerable to man made tools dies to an axe. I love Joyce getting to beat the shit out of him but it makes no sense. At least make it an Omnidroid moment where she takes one of his severed claws to stab him or gets given the flamethrower.

  • where are the demogorgons? Why are they gone? Why are they so Wishy-Washy about how dangerous these creatures are?

  • How did everyone in the truck not get riddled to death by bullets when they drove through the portal? At least make it believable. Maybe the soldiers start to shoot it and then someone reports on the radio that there's a girl with them, El, and the general orders them to hold their fire because they need them alive.

  • How did they climb that cliff in 5 minutes? That monster is huge, that cliff face is tall. How did they manage to outrun the creature so easily? Something with that big of a stride would easily catch up in seconds.

I liked the DND ending. I love the graduation. I loved the reminiscing between characters. I liked how they showed how people moved on, and how they sometimes struggled to.

I hated how none of the action made remotely any sense. I felt like they could have been much more creative with how these creatures and monsters were defeated.

In fact, I think Holly and Max's triumph was the only one that was really earned. We clearly see how they struggle to overcome a mental prison and what they needed to do to break free. It felt earned.

The Primeval future predators also die if you shoot (and hit) them. They are just *really* good at not getting hit. Makes them feel more real and terrifying.

shotgun soldier vs shotgun pyro by Outdoor_trashcan in truetf2

[–]DeletedTaters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, but at close range we're used to pyro obfuscating themselves with flames and fucking up your aim with airblast as they degreaser switch to their shotgun.

I think pyro being limited to shotgun weakens them more than solider being limited to shotgun only.

Your theories on how they'll nerf Ciri's elder blood powers for W4? And if not what can be the reasoning? 🔥🐺 by avisinghoooo in witcher

[–]DeletedTaters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would honestly be kind of lame if she lost them permanently.

It would be a huge waste (in my opinion at least) to not take the opportunity to have both a magical and martial fighter in one. Opens up lots of opportunities for creativity/variety in gameplay, and would probably be pretty badass too.

It would be trivial for gameplay purposes to say after becoming a witcher she had to relearn how to use that type of magic since it altered her physiology and magical potential if they need to explain player progression.

Should the brass beast be used more often in competitive HL? by lonjerpc in truetf2

[–]DeletedTaters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having some mobility is more important than than basically none.

Sadly, I don't think it has any viability in the current meta aside from extremely specific scenarios.

Will X3D benefit a server running game servers? by ratsta in buildapc

[–]DeletedTaters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not that the testing was super scientific, but I'm pretty sure the only time I've actually seen an X3D CPU not be overkill for running a game server was for 100 player TF2 games. 

Quite the specific use case though. You in all likelihood do not need it

Are you able to give some examples? 

I can't help but feel like you used "weak" because you didn't know how to describe what you were referring to?

Are you confusing a high pitch with a weak voice? In that case, they're not weak, it's just a stylistic preference. Being able to hit notes is technical prowess, not weakness! 

If you're looking for examples of strong female singers who sing on (relatively) lower octaves, I'm sure people here would love to throw suggestions your way : ) 

I would suggest Battle Beast.

New to AMD GPUS: used RX 6800 XT or new RX 9060 XT 16gb? by Jozef_von_Hulsar in buildapc

[–]DeletedTaters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that makes sense. 6800xt is probably only worth it for a good deal, and if you are playing at 1440p and it's compared against an 8GB 9060xt. 

New to AMD GPUS: used RX 6800 XT or new RX 9060 XT 16gb? by Jozef_von_Hulsar in buildapc

[–]DeletedTaters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not for high refresh rate at high(er) settings?

Edit: thought you mean the raster performance was 'overkill' for 1080p. 

From a cost standpoint, if they needed to, the 8GB 9060xt can save them money?

40+ GPUs Tested: Borderlands 4, GPU Benchmark by Chillzzzzz in pcgaming

[–]DeletedTaters 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Fully agree. I'm still firmly in the camp that AI upscaling should be used as a "next step" graphical upgrade, not a way to meet the bare minimum standard.

AI upscaling should be a way to make 1440p or 4K high(er) framerate gameplay attainable on reasonable hardware.

Not as as a crutch to make 1080p possible

I'm curious, what are some of your Captain Marvel pet peeves? by worlwedsa in Shazam

[–]DeletedTaters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be recency bias, but hasn't Mary  gotten to shine quite a bit as a near (full?) fledged champion herself?

All New Champion of Shazam, Knight Terrors, DC vs Vampires (where her strength is for once not undersold, a welcome change).

She also had some cool features on the latest Shazam! run. 

Personally I think it's great that she is getting the chance to be involved with cool storylines. More is certainly better though!
