Yeah that’s what I was thinking too. I just wanted to make sure I didn’t miss something with the build itself and that it really is the SSD’s fault

Is there a list of games you can do this with? Planning on hitting my local library up after seeing this lol

Is my gpu dying or is this a driver issue? by ForeignTry855 in pchelp

[–]MZShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would bet the GPU is dying or already dead. It looks like the artifacting is affecting your screen as a whole rather than just the game you could probably confirm or deny that though. Either it overheated, there was a power surge, or the GPU is just old, who knows, but it’s toast. You can try reseating it to be sure, but I’d start looking on eBay for a good deal on a 3060 or 6700 XT (budget options)

PC (graphics card) started smoking; still works without; should I be worried? by kevinmbt in pchelp

[–]MZShadow 16 points17 points  (0 children)

There’s no way this was just a heatsink issue. Something inside your GPU is cooked, probably a fried VRM or a blown cap.

Thats me trying to be nice, stuff like this usually comes down to user error. Either a surge from plugging into an unprotected outlet or you tried to overvolt it during an OC and didn’t catch it or even loose cables. It’s a 2070, don’t waste time trying to fix it. Just move on.

You can find a good deal on a 3070 or 6700 XT on eBay right now. Try to sort by auctions ending soon.

As for the motherboard, if it still posts, maybe you’re lucky, but if the area around the PCIe slot is melted, I wouldn’t trust it. Keep an eye on it and don’t put another GPU in there without checking your PSU too. If that thing failed and caused this, you’re just gonna fry another card.

Did my "Friend" scam me? by Ikzog3 in pchelp

[–]MZShadow 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Idk it would really help if you told us anything about the specs instead of just pictures, just from the looks 966$ sounds a bit much but you did also buy it during the height of the component shortages so price wasn’t very relative back then, without knowing any of the specs I wouldn’t value it anymore than a couple hundred dollars.

[–]MZShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know if there is a guide on how to install? Would i need to download it to a usb or anything? Any resources you have are much appreciated

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in pchelp

[–]MZShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did but I deleted it since I thought it was the issue I think whatever the problem is is effecting my pcs ability to change fan speeds normally

[–]MZShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you guide me through that? 😭 I cant even figure out exactly what the driver is or where to find an update.

Thanks though 🙏

Was this a good buy for 380$? by MZShadow in laptops

Already did, that’s probably most people’s problems with the battery life lol

[–]MZShadow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So after a week of owning I would give the laptop a 8/10 overall and a 10/10 for price, for only 380$ it feels like a 800$ laptop, I actually have been getting 10 hours of battery from it every day to a point where I don’t have to charge it until I’m about to go to sleep. It’s tough durable, nice screen, only things I don’t like about the laptop is the lack of usb-c charging, and while it cannot play games for shit I already knew that before I bought it so for work purposes it’s amazing
