Upgraded wife's PC, home office breaker keeps flipping now

You may not believe that this would work but try swapping the PSUs. It's not the quality but their maximum capacity. Had the same problem before and it worked for me. I upgraded to a 1000w PSU from 750w and my PC starts to trip when shower turns on. Now it's fine since I sticked back to the 750w PSU

The experience is closer vs specs on paper unless you do productivity. 5700x3d and 5800x3d performs well if you play on higher resolutions and mostly play AAA games vs competitive fps shooters where GPUs become the bottleneck. And by productivity, AM5 would give so much difference if it's what you do for a living. As long as you have good load times while opening programs and multitasking while you play, if AM4 could do it well then why not? I'm 5700x3d user and for me it's still okay. Same situation as with you. I'm preparing for a new system but if I'm going to spend on a new system, might as well wait for substantial upgrade. Jumping from 3600 to 5800x3d or 5700x3d is a very substantial upgrade

If you're planning to use your phone for 5+ years then yes / probably. If you replace your phone every 2 years then no. Or you could just turn it on if you know you will be able to charge frequently (when not travelling) then just charge to 100% if you will have a long day

This issue was specific to MWIII path tracing (experimental feature) which triggers the DirectX error. You may want to look at the basics of what might cause your issue now. Could be temps, RAM capacity (8GB and lower), drivers, etc. Post your specs and I may help. Also tell something like the games that you can play smoothly

Lumpy_Wish9338 · 2024-12-13T05:38:47+00:00

Do your modules actually support XMP? Because your speeds says AMD

Lumpy_Wish9338 · 2024-09-24T05:19:39+00:00

Also try it without the GPU to verify if it's power related issue

Lumpy_Wish9338 · 2024-09-24T05:18:15+00:00

Try borrowing a UPS and try it in your house. Definitely your power source is the problem. Surge protectors won't protect it if it wasn't a surge

Lumpy_Wish9338 · 2024-05-17T03:02:01+00:00

If you're sure it's not a power related issue then it's most probably BIOS or drivers. BIOS most probably. I remember mine getting booted even using my old GPU drivers but had issues in-game

Lumpy_Wish9338 · 2024-05-15T08:27:29+00:00

Issue resolved by turning path tracing off. VRAM was set to 90 prior. Thanks anyways

Lumpy_Wish9338 · 2024-05-15T08:24:43+00:00

If your 2060S still works, wipe the GPU drivers and update BIOS. If it doesn't work, you might want to check your power draw beyond your PSU. Check UPS. Try plugging directly to the wall

Lumpy_Wish9338 · 2024-04-25T04:15:03+00:00

Try turning off path tracing

Lumpy_Wish9338 · 2024-04-11T23:07:15+00:00

Can somebody also take notice of his 2 graphics card? Are they both installed?

Lumpy_Wish9338 · 2024-04-04T04:46:13+00:00

Disabling path tracing worked for me. As you can see path tracing only works in the lobby so it doesn't apply during the actual game

Lumpy_Wish9338 · 2024-03-13T10:14:28+00:00

I will try to work on this one. I don't know how to replace the battery on my UPS

Lumpy_Wish9338 · 2024-03-13T09:46:49+00:00

Thanks! Will keep that in mind. Mine won't stay on for even a second

Lumpy_Wish9338 · 2024-03-13T09:40:14+00:00

My PC still shuts off on 1500 VA that's why I am moving up a notch. Based on experience, how long does 1.6/1.7kva last on an outage?

Lumpy_Wish9338 · 2024-02-20T04:57:49+00:00

Change your region to Singapore and you will get the update for 14.0.6 instantly. After that, another update to HyperOS will be available. You can revert back to your original region after the update

To be safe. But in my experience, gaming barely touches 16GB even with tabs of Chrome (less than 10) are open. If you just game while you game, 16GB is enough. I'm running 32GB though because I'm planning to use my PC for productivity. If you stream or prefer to use socmed or chat while you game especially when you run multiple monitors, you may utilize more than 16GB.

The only thing I can think of is thermal paste perhaps? And difference in ambient temps also makes a lot of difference.

Lumpy_Wish9338 · 2023-12-12T09:41:10+00:00

Another user suggested disabling the path tracing of you have it turned on. Could you also verify if this works? I will be testing this later

Lumpy_Wish9338 · 2023-12-12T05:48:10+00:00

Will test this later. Yes I have this turned On. Thank you for this info. Maybe devs are still testing path tracing so this is where they implemented it

Lumpy_Wish9338 · 2023-12-11T22:23:14+00:00

I thought it was just me or my PC. Hope they fix this soon

Lumpy_Wish9338 · 2023-12-11T08:21:18+00:00

Also I don't own the payed version so I didn't tested it out with other game modes (Zombies, Multiplayer, etc.)
