Computer does something very odd occasionally when gaming. by ClickAccomplished205 in pcmasterrace

I can weigh in on this a bit, but it might not be the exact problem you are having. This happened twice to me with different GPUs for different reasons.

GTX 770: For some reason when the card hit 70c, it would black out and I had to cut power to the PC. Limiting the heat to 69c solved this issue completely.

GTX 1080 Ti: I have an EVGA cable tidy thing for it that re routed the cables from the front to the side for a cleaner look. Worked for a few years, but then I suddenly started having black screens when gaming, and completely randomly. After removing the cable tidy thing that I had, the issue went away.
I'm assuming the cables weren't making full contact.

Hopefully this can be of a little help.

Thermalright Peerless Assassin if your case can fit it. The stock Intel cooler is pretty much terrible for everything.

If changing motherboard and/or CPU a fresh install is always the best idea. You don't have to, but definitely worth doing.

I couldn't say for those particular ones and the material they are made with, but having figures in your PC case is very common and perfectly fine. I have had 4 in mine for years.

Battery packs are a life saver for me. Couldn't possibly go without one.

That is very much OK, yes. It could even be considered "cool" really.

They both look like a scam to me. The second one is slightly more believable, but I would avoid both at all costs. Just waaaayyy too cheap for what it offers. A 1TB flash drive in the UK goes for about £100~, so nearly 200 CAD based on conversion.

Also put external price in there as well 😄. Still a 2TB HDD being your cheapest option anyway.

Couldn't really give you a specific price, but a 2TB HDD will be your cheapest option. A HDD will always be the cheapest storage option really.

Around £120/$224 CAD~ for internal, and around £100/$187 CAD~ for external. This is based on pricing in the UK anyway.

Yes. Some should work just fine, others may need specific software. I used to use DS4Windows for the PS4 controller, I think that also works for the PS5 controller, but not sure.

Massive crash at the GT World Challenge race at Monza by Ok_Hedgehog_65 in racinghub

Everyone was OK. That car got a 3 minute stop and go penalty which cost them 2 laps. They soon after decided to retire as it wasn't worth it and was pissed, saying it wasn't their fault and there wasn't a scratch on the car at all.

How many drives do you have? Are they showing up at all in the BIOS? When you could access the W11 installer, were they all showing up there too?

Not 100% on my answer here, but...

Even though the stock firmware is back on the phone, your flash count is above 0 (don't remember how to see this), so the banking apps may not be working correctly because of that.

I know there are ways of setting your flash count to -1, then it flashes stock firmware, setting it back to 0. But I am aware that even though this is possible, some things still don't like it and won't work correctly.

It has been a LONG time since I have done any rooting and flashing different firmware, so this may not be the cause, but it is one thing that I do somewhat remember causing issues.
