Aren't you planning quite far ahead? I also plan to upgrade platforms this year (only likely to an AMD X3D one) but it's too early to settle the details when most of those will remain unknown until the stuff has launched (or is about to at earliest). I can definitely make a broad idea of what I...

That was true after the 8800 GT launched, yes. But the 8800 GTX existed for a year before then, and it was a huge jump over the previous generation in both performance and technical aspects. It also remained a bit faster than the 8800 GT (if marginally), namely at higher resolutions, and had 50%...

I didn't read the whole thread so I'm sorry if I miss some good points. At the risk of earning some disdain, I'm going to declare I think it's slightly overstated to grant it the claim of "greatest of all time". Let's look at what it supposedly has going for it, and here's why I think that...

Just to add some further examples, both my monitor (~15 years old) and PC case (~10 years old) do this, and have for their whole life. Sometimes they just randomly do it during operation, not only shortly after turning on or off. It's probably shifting parts and plastics. So it's unlikely to be...

Ah, thank you for the clarification. My initial reaction was to presume that but it could go either way so i figured I'd ask. And either way I thought my feedback might be useful even if it wasn't directed at me since I imagine the thread starter changed those settings just to troubleshoot as I...

I think you might be asking the thread starter as opposed to me, but I'll answer since it seemed like we were both in the same boat here (and/or in case you are referring to me). While it was more unstable at stock, it was still unstable either way. And I never had a desire to run with certain...

Changing the PCI Express BIOS setting from auto to gen 3 was one of the many, many things I tried, yes. It had no change. I disconnected and reconnected the graphics card more times than I can recall. I also put the old graphics card back in at times. The issue kept happening on the new one...

Hey! This sounds like the issue I had (and still have?), almost to the detail. Welcome to the nightmare. It's not going to be fun. I'll share my experiences in case this advises you in any way. The PC would go to a Black screen under certain GPU loads, and after some amount of time of being on...

This is probably the biggest reason why I would hesitate to buy an EVGA PSU today. I have no qualms with their product quality or reliability; that is, I think some of them are high enough quality, but they definitely seem to have fallen from where they were a decade ago at their peak. For a...

I am bringing this back up because I unfortunately fear the issue may now be occurring on my replacement RX 7800 XT. For the first time since the replacement, I experienced the same issue last night. The only difference this time was in the minutes before the Black screen to restart issue...

I posted this on another community where I first saw it, but... isn't it unfortunate that this entire situation came about precisely because EVGA was trying to be accommodating in a situation where most other brands wouldn't!? They honored a return for coil whine reasons, whereas most other...

It looked wonderful! (But needed some adjustments in my opinion.) It was just a love letter of sorts though, and it's not going to be anything more (official nor unofficial). Basically everything else from that nVidia leak years ago happened in one way or another, so... I'm holding my hopes...

I'm not sure about WHEA or Watch Dog logs, but the Event Viewer stuff often gets created on the next startup, and not during the crash itself. The times might not exactly match up as a result, but if they are sufficiently far apart, they might be different issues. I'd probably take a look at...

If a Final Fantasy IX remake actually gets announced, it could be one of them! Come oooon already SquareSooooft! And if it does, presuming it isn't a disaster, it will be displaced behind the year the game actually releases.

You say they are older, but does that just mean in relation to the most recent occurrence? Do they still correspond to any of the prior instances? As expected, the WHEA entry is an 0x124 log which is a bit generic as far as I know (it seems to be the WHEA equivalent of the Event Viewer's Event...
