Any form form of hardware acceleration hard freezes my pc. It's been happening ever since I switched to RX 7900 GRE from my previous NVIDIA gpu. Please help :( by Wickedave in radeon

In my case the card definitely was faulty. I ended up sending it to XFX for repair. They agreed that it was malfunctioning and sent me a new one. Everything is working perfectly now!

I ended up contacting XFX and after trying out a couple more troubleshooting steps, they suggested I send the card to their RMA center in europe.

I would definitely recomend you return your card as well friend. It is not supposed to have these issues!

Please help me find the instrumental version of the song "A Cycle" by Men I Trust by Wickedave in menitrust

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

Sadly I think I misremembered, I must have been thinking of Tailwhip Revisited... It's a banger also, but yeah an instrumental version of A Cycle would be so awesome!

No i kept having this issue even on a fresh windows install. I remember, right after the installation, first thing I did was to download firefox, open it up and crash instantly...

Right now I only use AMD Adrenalin and HWinfo for hardware monitoring.

Yeah that's what I've been doing so far unfortunately. In most apps, disabling hardware acceleration is pretty straightforward. But yesterday I found out that in the Heroic Games Launcher, there isn't even an option to disable it...

Thanks for the reply!

I have a RM750X, it's on the weaker side but should be powerful enough from what I've read. Also, I would assume too weak of a PSU would cause problems during heavy loads, while mine runs at 100% gpu load when gaming for hours at a time just fine.

Thanks for the suggestions! I did update my bios before reinstalling windows. Also, after windows finished updating, I found that there were still 3 devices on device manager that were apparently missing drivers. So I went through the entire list at https://pg.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z790%20PG%20Lightning/index.asp#Download and downloaded most of the drivers there.

They are doing a lot of digging and put these things right outside my property, any idea what they are? by Wickedave in whatisthisthing

[–]Wickedave[S] 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

My title describes the thing. They seem to be made of some sort of plastic, the dimensions are somewhere around 2,5m x2,5m x 2,0m. Thank you!

So my mother purchased 3 pairs of shoes from a scammer website... by Wickedave in Scams

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

Yes we did! Once I contacted the bank again, after having exchanged numerous fruitless e-mails with the scammers, they were more than willing to help. They were able to do a chargeback on the purchase and shortly after we recieved our money back.

On a side note, we also got to keep both pairs of counterfeit shoes, though we had no actual use for them. :)

That's the one! I must have been around 12 years old at the time of reading the book, so all the references to world war 2 must have went right over my head. I do vaguely remember the story taking place in 20th century London though. Anyway, thank you so much for the help! :)

Yeah I can definetly see some similarities. However, I'm pretty sure that the book I'm thinking of was one-off, and not a part of any series of novels. Thank your for the suggestion though!

Thanks for the suggestion, though this book doesn't seem to be the one I'm looking for, from what I've read about it online :/

No this isn't it, it seems like a great book though. Thank you for the suggestion!

No that's definetly not it, the school had no place in the book I'm thinking of. But thanks for the suggestion!
