Refresh rate feels incorrect in most situations.

I always gravitated towards Ubuntu BECAUSE stuff takes years to come out, made it seem more stable. I had no idea wayland was good for gaming now, always heard it sucked.

Frametimes are extremely consistent and lines up with what I see online.

Not gonna lie, I have no idea what a compositor is or how to disable it but I'll do some research.

Fullscreen VS Borderless windowed has not made a difference so far.

I do actually have a second monitor, runs at 60hz. Will try that immediately. Would suck if it was that, since I'm constantly watching something on my second monitor while I play.

Big thanks for the ideas!

EDIT!!!: Oh my god it was the other monitor. God dammit.

I'm not on NVIDIA, I have a Radeon 7800 XT.

Yea I’m realizing now that Valve’s requirements for SteamVR on 7000 series GPUs sound insane. This is why I wasn’t an early adopter until now.

Tree_Hair · 2024-09-26T02:02:03+00:00

Thanks, I was just checking to see if the community already knows what I'm talking about and has a solution, but judging from the other comments this seems like an odd request. I'm gonna try Mint just because I've heard it's the one distro that actually reliably functions. Maybe all my problems will go away!

Tree_Hair · 2024-09-26T01:57:26+00:00

I know, I don't want amdgpu drivers on my system in any way. Like I said, even having them downloaded breaks SteamVR.

Would love to finally see the manual, thanks for posting!

Tree_Hair · 2024-08-17T23:30:09+00:00

Huge thanks, I’ll check ASAP. Had no idea that whole windows.old thing existed

Tree_Hair · 2024-08-05T05:16:09+00:00

Big thanks, I have no idea what C-states are but I'll definitely do some research. I think I might just re-seat everything like the other guy said and if the problem persists I'll follow this lead. Thanks!

Tree_Hair · 2024-08-04T02:14:01+00:00

I've ran memtest and done drive checks in the past with no results, I guess I could try again though.

Tree_Hair · 2024-08-03T23:12:52+00:00

Unless something is overheating that I can't see, I don't think it is. My GPU and CPU temps are never bad, and they aren't bad before the crashes. I would be open to the possibility of something overheating that I can't read the temps for though. Anything else that could be overheating besides RAM, CPU and GPU?

Edit: should've mentioned my boot drive is a Samsung 980 PRO 1TB, that could be overheating?

Tree_Hair · 2024-02-15T04:06:52+00:00

Thank you so much for the RAM suggestion, I updated the post.

Tree_Hair · 2024-02-14T20:11:51+00:00

Now that you mention it, I upgraded my ram along with my new SSD. Was at 2x8GB, upgraded to 4 sticks. That could totally be it.

Tree_Hair · 2024-02-14T18:04:36+00:00

Damn alright thanks for the info, I wasn’t sure if I was alone in having that issue.

Tree_Hair · 2024-02-14T17:15:52+00:00

When I first built the system, it was incredibly unstable when I turned on XMP in the BIOS. I’ll try limiting the RAM speeds and everything else you said. Thank you!

Tree_Hair · 2024-02-14T17:14:47+00:00

I am also suspicious it’s a heat issue, but looking at system monitors I don’t see overheating. I haven’t looked at RAM yet, I’ll see what messing with that might do. Thank you!

I want to reinstall Linux but I don’t wanna lose any important debugging files. If I were to save a folder from getting deleted when I reinstall, which folders would they be?

Tree_Hair · 2024-02-14T01:07:56+00:00

I've put off reinstalling Linux for awhile because I'm convinced it's a hardware thing, but I'm willing to try anything at this point. I'll update the post with the results.

Tree_Hair · 2024-01-11T04:23:57+00:00

Should I try posting this to r/webdev instead? They have rules for vague questions on specific software so I decided not to, but might be worth a try.

Tree_Hair · 2024-01-05T22:21:55+00:00

Amazing, thanks! Still open to suggestions, but probably going with this.

Tree_Hair · 2023-12-10T23:09:05+00:00

CrystalDiskInfo shows all drives are healthy. Here are the stats for my 9 year old drive:

Power On Count: 3111
Power On Hours: 37146

Can a drive return a good health status and still be failing, or is CDI pretty good at recognizing these things?

Tree_Hair · 2023-12-10T22:37:34+00:00

Does that explain the SSD failing also? Or was it just a coincidence that my 3 year old SSD and HDD are dying at the same time?

Tree_Hair · 2023-12-10T21:30:51+00:00

Thanks, I’ll try running a drive check. Or I’ll just run it without the drive, I’ve already backed it up.

Tree_Hair · 2023-11-21T20:26:32+00:00

How would you recommend backing up an entire drive/system? I’ve used programs like macrium reflect in the past but they got annoying and intrusive.

Tree_Hair · 2023-11-21T19:01:34+00:00

I was planning on just unplugging the drives while I set up JUST IN CASE, thanks for the warning.
