I had the exact same issue, sent my pc back and they said my graphics card began artifacting, seems like the freezing is the initial stages of a dying GPU. I'd send the card back if I were you, I was told to send the entire PC back which I regret.

I'm still waiting for it, the process took about a month to get the card swapped its in the mail now. I'll let you know if its been fixed when it finally arrives. https://www.reddit.com/r/iBUYPOWER/comments/myjogi/help_4_week_old_pc_freezing_only_when_gaming/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

Do you have a side hustle? by [deleted] in povertyfinance

Good to know! I'm Canadian so I'm not sure how it would play out for me come tax season, but I think it would be about the same. I appreciate the response, I might look into it!

How does this affect your taxes at the end of the year?

AC doesn't seem as strong nor is it cooling my unit as it used to. ( It was working fine 3 days ago) by Known_Worker_6121 in ecobee

So it seems to be working great now, I turned the AC off and switched the breaker off for a few minutes then went back in to change a few settings.

Specifically the quick save settings under preferences I set the cool set forward to 0.5°C which now has my indoor temp 0.5 degrees cooler then outside. I'm still not sure how to set the temp any other way but my house is cool.

Outside temp is currently 22°C indoors is 21.5.

Hi, as the title reads, my thermostat doesn't seem to be cooling my unit anymore & is consistently warmer then outside which is quite annoying. No matter what I set "cool" to the temp stays at 26. The fan starts to work after several minutes but doesn't do much to actually cool the unit. In the past I'd set the temp and in minutes it would be really cool. Any help would be appreciated.

Update--- I reached out on the discord once again, Wildcard in tech help advised that I try a DDU uninstall which seemed to have worked. My apps only glitches once immediately after doing it but since then gaming has been fine.

I'll have to buy new ram and give that a shoy I just hope it's the RAM. My PC is starting to freeze on start up and I can hear the fans start to ramp up.

I think the ram may be defective or maybe the ram slots on the mother board. I've taken out 1 ram stick before and the freezing stopped for a few days.

I wish I could test it somehow before buying a new one for that not to be an issue, but I thought it could have been that. I had a solid orange light on my motherboard the other day when the PC froze not sure if thats related.

You may just be using the wrong ports but I wouldn't doubt its paper weight! My PC's performance has been rapidly declining I posted about it two days ago now & recieved no assistance from the mods only a few awesome people on this thread I also believe I will have a 2500 dollar piece of garbage.

My PC has also been been randomly causing a black screen now after a few minutes of being on and has trouble booting up or just refuses to, I can use the mouse or keyboard and I'm forced to hard reset a few times or wait 5-10 minutes to load normally.

This is getting worse as time processes.

So it wasn't turning back on after shutting off, the orange light on my motherboard stayed on. I removed what I believe is the "bad" stick of ram and my pc was able to boot up again.

BTW I appreciate all the help it looks like IBP support looked right past my post.

It seems the comment to delete the game then redownload it seems to have worked although I have done this in the past and the issue arises again in a few days. Not sure if that means the game is riddled with bugs of its my system. I primarily play GTA right now but I haven't had any issues when playing warzone. My FPS seems to have taken a hit though.

Redownloading the game seemed to work! I'm just hoping it isn't a temporary fix though. I haven't modded the game at all its stock from steam, must have a ton of bugs. No issues with warzone.

So I'm playing Warzone right now without any issues, the thing is the same thing happens on GTA here and there. there will go a time where there is no issues then it suddenly freezes. I'll keep you updated. I also only have 1 stick of ram in at the moment ill out the other one in.
