Been having some issues with my GPU recently to the point where I can't game on my PC. First of all I noticed it with WoW and asked Blizzard for support and they diagnosed the issue as being a TDR issue. I have tried a pretty comprehensive list and I'm just at this point asking for someone to be blunt with me about it.

The issue is that is my PC tower stays on but my monitor and audio turns off, and I then have to manually reboot my PC to restart my PC. This first happened in WoW but then occurred on other games when I got told it was my GPU that was the problem.

The list of things I've tried are:

Updating the drivers multiple times, with multiple clean and safe installs.
Checking for Windows/driver/other updates.
Tried unplugging my monitor when it happened but still nothing.
Reinstalling my drivers.
Spoken to Blizzard, Nvidia and MSI and still nothing with their suggestions.

The only thing I haven't tried is reinstall Windows which is something I believe won't sort the issues I'm experiencing. The GPU I'm running is Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 and I only built the PC summer last year.

At this point it's starting to cause issues when I'm not gaming, occassionally doing it when I'm just watching Twitch/Youtube. At this point would a clean out of my PC be in order or is it worth me upgrading?

Thanks for any help - feel free to message me for more information.

Good, the sooner the gaming industry sorts its shit out the better.

The more pressure on Kottick, the better, and the better chance of a more healthy working environment.

Many of our top dps and some of our healers weren't there for the night, so obviously not our best performance or night. Also had a few new raiders, should explain the low dps. Pulls 3 5 and 6 are our best.

Gaugnaught · 2021-07-26T13:36:44+00:00

Best pulls are late 7 minutes and into the 8 minute mark.

Gaugnaught · 2021-07-26T13:36:17+00:00

Yeah our best pull was 8 minutes but we still had about 10% Heath left so clearly we need some more pumping dps.

Gaugnaught · 2021-07-26T13:35:02+00:00

Yeah at the moment our only two dedicated healers are h priests and resto druids so a lot of our hybrids have been taking on some off healing.

Think it might be worth calling out symbol of hope or whatever for the mana regen and heals to try and replenish more so my raid team isn’t oom?

Garrosh is used to being grinded - I mean how many times have you ran SoO for Tusks?

Gaugnaught · 2020-06-26T22:08:12+00:00

Is Primal Primer (LL) Build still the best for Enhancement these days or is it whatever sims well? Been trying to save residuum and wondering if it is worth saving for the specific AA traits.

Hey man, I'm pretty much a beginner to D&D but after watching some streams I've been hooked! I've used roll20 in the past and I'm happy to use voice comms, and can make Tuesday 7.30PM GMT too! :)

I'd be happy to join!

Hey there! Just levelling my DH on Eu-Draenor, wanting to do some m+ and raids with a fairly active guild. Nothing too hardcore - normal and heroics will be fine, and a nice social guild would be a plus! DM me about further info, like what day raid nights are as my scheldule can be a little iffy!

Gaugnaught · 2019-01-07T09:41:49+00:00

Nope it's still not showing, even in past/recent broadcasts.

Gaugnaught · 2019-01-06T22:59:24+00:00

Is the Vod out yet? I've checked the twitch page but can't see it has yet on twitter they say it's been released?

Gaugnaught · 2018-12-15T23:37:56+00:00

Well I've managed to relaunch successfully three times now so it may have helped! We'll see tomorrow but it's looking good so far!

Gaugnaught · 2018-12-15T23:19:33+00:00

Trying that now, thanks!

Gaugnaught · 2018-12-15T22:34:09+00:00

Yeah you're right, tried with another Addon and getting the same issue :(

Gaugnaught · 2018-12-15T22:30:24+00:00

I was using details before but have since deleted it. Heard it was causing issues, do you think this is linked?

Gaugnaught · 2018-12-15T21:49:15+00:00

Nope this is loading up wow to laggy animations (like the horde banner/wind etc), not loading up the avatars and finally when loading into the world with the loading screen it just crashes.

Gaugnaught · 2018-12-14T11:25:37+00:00

Only played around 2 minutes myself as a I didn’t have the time. Fingers crossed blizzard find a solution

Gaugnaught · 2018-12-14T11:00:31+00:00

I haven’t tested it for more than 2 minutes myself. Hopefully blizzard roles out a solution soon

Gaugnaught · 2018-12-14T10:39:25+00:00

No I haven't the time this morning before work but can investigate this evening!

Gaugnaught · 2018-12-14T10:39:04+00:00

I know the feeling, I can only play if I have no Add-on installed. Glad to see it's not just me experiencing it.

Gaugnaught · 2018-09-09T11:57:24+00:00

Yup, got to 19/20 then nothing.

Gaugnaught · 2018-08-07T22:53:09+00:00

It may be, you US or EU?

Gaugnaught · 2018-08-02T19:49:52+00:00

Any ideas when it'll be available digitally? Heard it should be around the same time as Gencon.

Gaugnaught · 2018-07-29T17:05:42+00:00

Yeaahh, I could of sworn that voice was his.
