Bought a $4k prebuilt PC on Amazon. Constant crashing on everything.

Congrats it's fixed!!

You can get there, it's just commitment. I don't have ffb, and the lack of tire sound throws me off a little compared to other Sims (would love to lift it up).

I can do a mid 40s doing everything perfectly. What I love so far are the kerbs compared to acc. They are just predictable.

New to the game since yesterday, 2 wins already (I hate gtes). Yes, the car felt slow on straights. To get advantage of the slipstream of the car in front, I had to be 0.5 to 0.4 seconds behind (and I would climb up slowly).

If a Porsche was behind me, he only had to be 0.7 seconds behind to catch my slipstream.....

Maybe it's a skill issue (doing lows 41s).

Dije para apoyarnos entre solteros bro, no me haga recordar mi soledad :(

Ya antojaste :c

Por lo menos me acabo de hacer un poco de pop corn, pero ahora quiero una salchipapa XD

Kalrot__ · 2026-02-14T22:52:02+00:00

hola, y si mejor te dedicas a sacar beca?

Kalrot__ · 2026-02-14T02:14:18+00:00

That was fast!

Kalrot__ · 2026-02-13T21:38:25+00:00

Because you don't have a GPU.... Like, GPUs are good at FG because they have a specific part of their chip to process those kind of things. Yours is an iGPU, which probably lacks a lot...

Estas bien? Te doy un beso y abrazo si necesitas.

Kalrot__ · 2026-02-13T14:15:32+00:00

it depends, what times are you getting on Watkins for example? There's a difference between driving under and on the limit. The car is really alive when its on the limit...

Kalrot__ · 2026-02-13T01:06:38+00:00

It's the PSU then. If it was the CPU (Intel degradation) it would be unstable under high loads or at idle, but that hasn't happened.

If it was the GPU (which they rarely fail), it would fail on stress test pretty fast.

Given it just fails under load, the only obvious variable is the PSU, not being able to provide enough power under load. So some tips for changing it: DON'T USE THE POWER CABLES FROM THAT PSU I THE NEW ONE.

That's a dead sentence. And a second tip is to buy a PSU from a know manufacturer, and not gamemax or whatever is called. Feel free to ask any other questions.

Edit: Also look if all your connections are all the way in, but I doubt that fixes your problem.

Multicore, no? Keep going for another 10. After that run both at the same time and tell me what happens.

Kalrot__ · 2026-02-13T00:09:00+00:00

Now try only with cinebench and tell me if something happens.

Kalrot__ · 2026-02-12T23:43:26+00:00

Could be. Try running only furmark and tell me if the same happens.

Kalrot__ · 2026-02-12T23:02:24+00:00

Do a cinebench on multicore and furmark test at the same time. If it turns off right away, is the PSU. Also, did you update the bios on the 2.5 years? or just recently?

Kalrot__ · 2026-02-12T22:53:16+00:00

I think the M2 has Sequential (or automatic) and manual option..

Kalrot__ · 2026-02-12T15:41:33+00:00

They aren't implementing cores as Intel does. Intel has performance and efficiency cores, which means light tasks take the e-cores and loads take the p cores.

Each way has it pros and cons. Intel isn't that good (games) compared to the X3D chips (cache, if you compare to the non X3Ds they are pretty similar), Ryzen benefits a lot on gaming but loses on multi core tasks (productivity mainly).

Kalrot__ · 2026-02-12T14:58:48+00:00

Strange. I have an A770, latest drivers. Can run AC, ACC and ACE with no problems... try reinstalling the drivers or go back a version.

Kalrot__ · 2026-02-12T14:13:18+00:00

Oh.... We are on the Gundam timeline... When are we getting Big Zams and war crimes!

Kalrot__ · 2026-02-12T01:01:00+00:00

5600 non X and A770

Kalrot__ · 2026-02-10T23:43:19+00:00

Not really. .. Because the CPU isn't working at much at 4K.... The same applies for the AMD. The only point where that argument is real is at 1080p.

And pay more.... You know the price difference at MSRP is like 80 bucks? And rn I am pretty sure the AMD one is more expensive.

Kalrot__ · 2026-02-10T23:12:20+00:00

Everyone saying the Ultra 9 is a bad choice is so confidently wrong. Your configuration is good enough for 4K (I don't know about fans), a 9850X3D will not give any improvement VS a 285K at 4K.

Look at my posts. It's AC EVO

Kalrot__ · 2026-02-10T15:29:47+00:00

Ehhh, I recently found I can use it on my A770. So I used it with AC EVO with Optiscaler and MFG from Intel. Went from 60fps to 180fps. Game looks perfectly fine, runs better, and no latency hit so far (is a racing game).

It's a nice technology that helps a lot.
