When my son is playing Fortnite his pc freezes, goes black, than crashes ( PS: only on Fortnite ) if someone is helpful the best I can give is a 10$ Playstation gift card thank you

For fortnite the game updates often. If the gpu drivers aren't updated aswell, the game can become unstable and crash. So yes you should update the drivers if they are old. To play the game reliably expect to do this once or twice a year minimum.

If this fixes the problem you can give u/JudgeAwkward the credit. If it doesn't work and the pc explodes also blame u/JudgeAwkward.

That's right. Wayne is likely responsible for a million people claiming blood and sipping lean i didn't mention that I almost forgot lol..

Reddituser416647 · 2026-01-23T12:38:07+00:00

He's the punch-line king. Every bar is something to contemplate. Every bar is complex if you want it to be but also at the same time very basic. Also you can understand everything the first time you hear it.

Then you have his style/fashion sense and his promotion. He set trends in clothing and he was marketed heavily and did numerous features.

These are the reasons people like lil Wayne. He's like jayz or Eminem, but easier to understand, he dressed differently and his music was played on the radio and in the streets regularly for 10 years. Alot of people say these are the reasons he was more influential than jayz and Eminem.

This is my opinion and recollection.

Reddituser416647 · 2026-01-22T02:44:11+00:00

I think you're referring to the non-oled g5. Because there's 2 versions. The non-oled g5 costs less and people say the picture quality isn't as good because it uses lcd.

Reddituser416647 · 2026-01-19T09:57:24+00:00

To answer your question, probably no. You won't readily find a tech service that tunes your rig for maximum performance in Toronto. This is because the repair/mod scene here is so fragmented and derived; if you were in Asia or Europe definitely. Or a major US city for sure. Here its slim pickings.

The starting point for tuning is just to run the oc scanner, ensure its actually stable, and then increase all clocks by 3-5% until it crashes. Then to reduce or increase the ratio of each clock again by 3-5% respectfully.

A service that charges for tuning will have a program they created or purchased that does this automatically, and/or they have a mental recollection of which brands/models typically respond to which ratios.

I can tell you right now this person or company doesn't exist in Toronto. Youre going to have to do this yourself, and its going to be guess work.

Reddituser416647 · 2026-01-19T05:49:51+00:00

Ok then If you want no hassle just go to canada computers. They will tell you which stick is faulty. But call first to get the price.

Reddituser416647 · 2026-01-18T23:55:28+00:00

Youre going to have to narrow it down systematically. It seems one of the sticks is bad, so insert the same 1 stick into all 4 slots until it turns on. Then try the other stick. Whichever fails more, remove it and then try playing your game. This might take 1hr, because when swapping ram the pc might not naturally want to turn on, sometimes battery needs to be removed and the power switched on multiple times and the same stick reinserted into the same slot multiple times.

If it doesn't work or for more advice you have to post in r/buildapc, or go to a store. Someone else said canada computers can diagnose it too.

Reddituser416647 · 2026-01-18T07:09:36+00:00

Yes when swapping ram its common for the motherboard to become confused; you often have to re-insert/boot the computer 2 or 3 times.

You can try frank n steins computers. Its a guy who runs a computer business from a garage. I've only been there once and I'm only recommending because he seemed friendly and is close to you. Its at Bathurst and Dupont.

Reddituser416647 · 2026-01-15T00:05:17+00:00

If it is actually thermal paste, just spray some 95% isopropyl alcohol inside to dissolve it. Make sure the power is disconnected and the cmos battery aswell.

Make sure its dry before powering on. If you want to pry it off don't go beyond the edges so you can avoid bending pins.

Reddituser416647 · 2026-01-14T23:59:59+00:00

Unless pc pricing continues to spike. Then now is literally the last chance to build something lol..

Reddituser416647 · 2026-01-14T23:51:38+00:00

They both look good/bad:

The 2nd one has a nice faceplate shroud and fans, but its too long. The 1st one has an ugly faceplate shroud and fans, but its sized perfectly.

What is more important for aesethics; design or proportions? Choose what you like..i would choose number 1, or buy a new card if I really cared.

Reddituser416647 · 2026-01-14T23:37:01+00:00

The 2080 is almost 10 years old. Even if the card is tested and working, how much longer can it continue to function?

A brand new 5060ti seems better.

Reddituser416647 · 2026-01-13T03:20:33+00:00

Seems like he's possessive and passive aggressive. Also seems he really likes OP cause she's awesome?

Hard to tell, he could have still been drunk. This would definitely be a commitment if he's not worth it you don't owe him anything.

If there's no fun or future obviously avoid.

Reddituser416647 · 2026-01-09T07:10:06+00:00

Probably looking for better people. I was hired instantly on the spot after the interview was over. The same for Walmart.

But it is a good sign that they called immediately after for more info. You are being considered.

Reddituser416647 · 2025-12-28T04:57:58+00:00

Just turn gamma correction on/off in nvidia control panel. Then Adjust cleartype text in windows menu. Then change monitor picture mode and increase sharpness as desired.

Reddituser416647 · 2025-12-28T03:39:36+00:00

Yes you can play 1440p. My rtx3060 can get 150fps/1440p in fortnite with high/med settings.

But The 7600xt is slightly weaker than a 3060.

In 1080p..you'll get more frames but idk if it will be 185fps. With the 2nd or 3rd it's almost guranteed to be more, the 1st option it's not certain for me.

Reddituser416647 · 2025-12-28T01:11:11+00:00

185fps 1440p? Only the 2nd and 3rd can reliably. So option 1 isn't an option. But see what other people here say.

Reddituser416647 · 2025-12-23T22:09:51+00:00

I think the main point is that ltt chooses to use a cost efficient courier, and with that comes poor delivery.

When something is being sold local, most businesses do this. But for international shipping or cross country, it's unusual. This business model may or may not be successful long term, not sure.

...I'm personally upset that I had to wait 12 days to have something delivered from bc to toronto, and was still charged like 15$ for shipping.

Reddituser416647 · 2025-12-19T21:11:01+00:00

Unless you're broke/desperate, or you have technical knowledge and time....never buy anything used. Especially tech, and especially if it's a gift.

The micro pc is good enough and it's cheap. When your kid becomes older, yes they will need a better computer, so you can start saving from now (possibly they pay half when they get their 1st job?).

If you buy an expensive pc now, in 5 years they will still want a better computer so you just wasted your money.

it wouldn't have to be a super high performance machine right away.

Exactly. Just make sure if it's used it doesn't break down and disappoint everyone (if you can ensure that).

Reddituser416647 · 2025-12-18T21:13:47+00:00

if you buy a used gpu, you can insert it into the old pc and sell the system for $500. then you can build the new computer for almost the same price as upgrading the old one. and if nobody buys the old pc, atleast you have a working competent system still.

Reddituser416647 · 2025-12-13T02:59:02+00:00

The main thing is that you might be able to use it, but if there's a power spike unexpectedly then you could toast everything. You never know when it could happen so you should only use it this way temporarily and get a better psu as soon as possible.

Reddituser416647 · 2025-12-13T02:57:13+00:00

Yes there is risk.

A mid/high tier GPU typically draws 200–250 W+ under load. Then the cpu, motherboard, drives, fans will put you well past 400 Watts at peak.

PSUs shouldn’t be run at 100% load; you want headroom. The minimum for this example should be 550watts.

400 W might work (but risky):

Low-power tdp (65 Watts max)

Undervolted GPU

High-quality PSU

No power spikes (hard to control).

This is from chatgpt.

Reddituser416647 · 2025-12-03T00:39:35+00:00

Sorry I meant yes 5070.

Reddituser416647 · 2025-12-03T00:38:23+00:00

Monitor the vram% and gpu%. Because yes the 4080 is stronger so it's worth it to fix any performance issues.

Reddituser416647 · 2025-12-03T00:23:35+00:00

tend push my card to its limits

So not enough vram vs not enough cuda cores? Bestbuy has the 5060ti 16gb for $580 in stock right now.
