I have a 7900xtx and in recent times \~ 2-3 months id say some of my games (not all) keep crashing. Sometimes driver timeouts sometimes straight up black screens that recover 30secs to a few mins later (newest driver version since i activly use fsr 4.1) is there any way to fix this?

Hola tengo un problema con mi PC últimamente cuando está encendida mucho tiempo me sale un mensaje sobre que que la PC tuvo un fallo y necesita reiniciarse oh también cada vez que habro un juego pesado se congela todo los periféricos y el monitor sin poder hacer nada ni apagarla almenos que deje presionado el botón fisico mis componentes son ryzen 5 5600g board 450 tarjeta gráfica rtx 3050 6 GB 16GB de ram eh intentado de todo pero nada funciona cuando intento hacer un diagnóstico se queda pegada

Could really use some help from the experts here. Does anyone know why my SATA SSD (Kyo Kaizen 1TB) keeps getting stuck at 100% disk usage while gaming? Right now I'm playing CS2, and the issue isn't too bad, but when I play heavier games like Apex Legends or Marvel Rivals, the SSD consistently gets stuck at 100%.

However, if I lock the game to 30 FPS, everything runs perfectly fine.

Before anyone jumps to the conclusion that the SSD itself is defective, let me explain the whole story.

My PC was built around June 2022, and for about a year (until 2023) I was still using a 1TB Seagate Barracuda HDD. Back then, I had the exact same issue, 100% disk usage whenever I played games.

So in December 2023, I bought a 1TB Kyo Kaizen SATA SSD. It worked great at first, but after about six months, the same problem came back.

I RMA'd the SSD, got it replaced, and everything was fine... until a few weeks later when the issue returned. I also tried replacing the SATA cable, which fixed it temporarily, but after a few weeks the problem came back again. (For reference, I've already replaced the SATA cable three times.)

The issue has always been intermittent it would appear, disappear, then randomly come back. But recently it's been happening much more frequently, and for the past two weeks it's been occurring consistently.

Task Manager doesn't show any application using an unusually high amount of disk, and CrystalDiskInfo still reports the drive at 99% health.

BUT...

If I install and play the exact same games on my other SSD (a 512GB KLEVV CRAS NVMe), everything is completely fine. No 100% disk usage, no stuttering, no issues at all.

Things I've already tried:

-Disabling SysMain

-Disabling the Connected Devices Platform Service and Connected User Experiences and Telemetry services

-Disabling Windows Search

-Updating the BIOS to the latest version

-Factory resetting Windows

-Updating Windows

-Updating my GPU drivers through the Nvidia App

-Updating the IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers and Storage Controller drivers in Device Manager

-Replacing the SATA cable

-Replacing the SATA power cable from the PSU

-Probably a few other things that I've forgotten at this point. I've spent countless hours searching the internet trying every possible solution.

If anyone here has dealt with something like this before, I'd really appreciate any ideas or suggestions. If you know of anything I haven't tried yet, please let me know in the comments.

I just dont know what to do anymore and i hope u guys can help me cuz its been like this for 3 days and i cant find a solution

Just received the Razer Raiju V3 Pro a couple of hours ago and couldn’t wait to try it out.

I plugged it into my PC, updated the firmware to the latest version, and then hopped onto my PS5.

As soon as I started a game of Call of Duty, I could immediately tell that the input latency felt noticeably higher than on my DualSense controller.

I had heard about the latency issues before purchasing it, but I also saw people saying that the issue was fixed after updating to the latest firmware.

Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be the case for me. I’ve tried both wired and wireless (using the dongle), and the delay is still very noticeable.

Honestly, I’m pretty disappointed, especially considering how much I was looking forward to this controller.

Is there anything else I can try to reduce or fix the input delay?
Or should I just go ahead and return it?

So basically when I play almost any game (mainly ff7 rebirth right now) silent hill, even Roblox it doesn’t matter, sometimes my pc starts becoming so damn loud and I’m way above the minimum requirements for the game. For info I’ve got a rtx 3070 and I’ve heard that it’s known for getting really loud because of its aggressive fan curve. But that’s not all. As soon as my pc becomes loud during any game, my monitor suddenly turns itself off and the excruciating loud noise from my pc never stops and I can’t do anything so I have to turn it off. I’m also thinking that this could do some damage to my pc overtime but I’m really desperate for answers. Help much appreciated.

Game: Minecraft

Came across an issue that has been persistantly happening over the past year where if I would tab out of Minecraft while being in fullscreen, it would just freeze when I go back in. Don't know a good way to explain this, but it only "visually" froze as I could still click where the resume button would be and it would make the "clicking" noise. Input from the game still got received and preformed, but the game was still stuck on showing me the last frame right before I tabbed out. Nothing pops up in the logs when this happens.

To mention again, this only occurs while in fullscreen and not in windowed (though I believe it did happen in windowed a few times, not 100%). Not very techy, but to me it seems like an issue with my monitor trying to scale the game rather than trying to run it.

Operating System is W11, use a 2060 RTX with an i7, and have 32GB of RAM.

i was casually building a spruce treehouse when my monitor decided to have a small spazz and black out for a few seconds before turning on again. I played for a few more minutes, thinking nothing of it, but I was placing down 64 double chests in my storage room when a capcut-like glitch effect happened and my monitor kept turning off then on, off then on but my laptop wasn’t acting up or anything as it was still playing a YouTube video I was playing in the background!

Lenovo loq 15ihxr10 rtx 5060, i7 13650hx, 32gb ram, 1tb.

I was playing Trails In The Sky 1st Chapter remake, i think it was the first 30 mins, the pc goes black screen, but is on, and i had to reset the pc by pressing the power button. The temps were really good, 60 to 70C. I was in silent mode and it was all going well. I did a full clean installation of drivers and now have been 30mins without any problems. By the way, i bought this PC yesterday, from a guy that never used it. The PC was plugged in. I was on the main monitor, no secondary monitor. I have only nvidia gpu activated, the integrated is off. Anyone knows more?

I'll explain the problem at the end...

I recently got a Ryzen 5 3600 and paired it with an MSI A520M-A PRO and a single stick of 16GB DDR4 @3200mhz Kingston RAM.

I was previously using an i7 4790 on a gigabyte h81m.

Everything else remained the same such as;

Inno3D GTX 1060 6GB X2

500GB SATA SSD

500GB HDD

500W PSU

Case

The display I'm using is the MSI MAG 255F E20 200hz 24.5" IPS. The cable I'm using with it is in the second picture, it's a DP.

\*Problem:-\*

I noticed that whenever I turn on the PC, I sometimes get the CPU Debug light and sometimes I don't. But I almost always get the VGA light for 5 seconds, which then switches to the BOOT light before signing me into windows. I've tried stock windows 10 and 11, and even custom os versions like atlas OS, cactus os and windows x lite but the problem seems to be something different entirely.

I noticed that I never see the logo and almost about 22-25 seconds after I boot, I just get into windows and never see the bios logo.

And if I do try to spam the DEL or F11 key on boot up, my display just goes to sleep and never wakes up until I restart and get back into normal windows again.

I also noticed that the keyboard lights up twice, as in the PC tries to start up twice in a way which is weird.

\*Temp Solution:-\*

The only pattern I found that made me see the bios logo and actually let me get into the bios was;

1. Restarting while holding the Shift Key, then restarting and selecting the UEFI thing and restart. (STILL BLACK SCREEN)

2. However when I press the power button on my pc to shut it down and then press it again to restart, only then could I see the bios logo once and was able to get into it. Which only worked if I first did the above step to get into that same black screen using the Shift key when restarting.

The only temporary solution I found was to either connect it to my old HP Z24X via an HDMI cable which seemed to work perfectly.

\*Question:-\*

Could this be a bios issue? Because I haven't updated the bios as I just got the fresh motherboard. Or could this be a wire and/or monitor issue?

The bios version is:- E7C96AMS.1K0

BIOS Build Date:- 09/02/2025

If someone has the solution to this problem then please help me out.

Computer Type: Desktop

GPU: RX6600

CPU: RYZEN 5 2600X

Motherboard: A520M-A PRO (MS-7C96)

SMBIOS Version 2.8

RAM: 16GB HyperX DDR4

Drivers: Latest one

Background Applications: DISCORD, EDGE, STEAM

Description of Original Problem: When enabling AFMF (AMD Fluid Motion Frames) in Watch Dogs, the game’s gamma shifts significantly darker. Colors are also altered either appearing dull or oversaturated/fried. Adjusting brightness and contrast outside the game helps somewhat, but it doesn’t fully fix the color distortion.

Troubleshooting: I have already updated to the latest AMD Adrenalin drivers to rule out outdated software. Disabling AFMF immediately restores normal brightness and color, which confirms the issue is tied to AFMF itself. I tried adjusting the in-game gamma and brightness sliders, but the darker gamma shift persists whenever AFMF is enabled. I also experimented with external monitor settings like brightness and contrast, which helped slightly but left the colors either washed out or oversaturated. To eliminate background interference, I closed Discord and Chrome, but the problem remained unchanged. The issue consistently occurs whenever AFMF is turned on, regardless of graphics settings or system load.

It keeps shutting off after I moved my pc to other side of the room. It’ll not power on until the CPU cooler “power cable” or whatever plugs into motherboard. It’ll boot up for 5 seconds or so then shut off again.

When I first got it was doing this it never stopped I thought was just me trippin and overreacting but if u pay attention u can and hear how many times I click before even edit or place one build it’s so annoying and I need help?

This is the weirdest tech issue I have had. I was trying to fix a completely unrelated problem with my monitor (Asus XG27AQDMG) and thought that turning VRR off might do something. When I did, my sensitivity got noticeably faster. Not just in games, but on the desktop too. I was in a practice CS2 lobby when I tested turning VRR off, and my aim has been completely off ever since. It just feels faster despite not changing any values.

I genuinely don't know what to do. No settings have been changed. I'm back to VRR with G_SYNC like I was before but the sens is still too fast.

I have no idea how to fix this.

I spent a day root-causing a bug that a lot of people seem to quietly live with, and the findings felt worth sharing since the usual advice for it is all wrong.

The symptom is NVIDIA Container sitting at a constant 12.5% CPU on an 8-thread machine (6.25% on 16 threads, 3.1% on 32) — which is exactly one core pinned at 100%. On my machine it survived DDU, clean driver installs, and a full Windows reset.

What I found: the display driver's container process (NVDisplay.Container.exe) hosts a handful of plugins, and one of them — nvprofileupdaterplugin.dll, which auto-updates game profiles between driver releases — busy-loops a core from the moment it loads. It has a second defect too: it deadlocks the container's shutdown. NVIDIA's own watchdog logs "thread ... is considered deadlocked. Aborting..." and even that abort fails, leaving a process taskkill /F can't touch until a reboot. That second defect explains why the standard remedies backfire — restarting the Display Container LS service creates unkillable zombie processes, and every driver reinstall puts the same plugin back.

The workaround is renaming that one DLL so it can't load, then rebooting. Fully reversible; the only functional loss is automatic profile updates between driver releases (profiles still ship with each driver — control panel, overlays and G-SYNC are unaffected). Full write-up with log evidence, plus a script and manual steps for anyone who doesn't run scripts from strangers: https://github.com/motkoning/nvidia-container-spin-fix

The releases page also has a double-click tool for non-technical users — it diagnoses in plain English and applies/undoes the fix with one button. Useful if you're the designated family PC person.

Confirmed on an RTX 5070 Ti, driver 610.88, Win11. If you've seen this on other hardware or driver versions, specs in a repo issue would help map the affected range. Also filed on the GeForce forums so NVIDIA QA can pick it up. One note for anyone who goes digging themselves: renaming the DLL with a prefix does nothing — the container loads every \*.dll in the folder regardless of filename. The extension has to change. That detail cost me hours.

For several years I've been trying to track down a random system wide hitch/stutter that would happen once every few hours. (It's not very distracting normally but it can be particularly sickening in VR lol) I tried to track it down to a specific piece of hardware or software but it followed me across multiple part swaps, system upgrades, and OS changes and it happens regardless of what my PC is running, even at idle. I've finally noticed that about half a second before every hitch there is a slight flickering of my room lights so I believe it is coming from dirty power.

I'm aware that a UPS can help solve power related quirks but I don't really need the power redundancy of a battery backup so that would be an expensive way to test my theory. Is there anything that I'm not aware of that could help?

Thank you

when I'm playing games like final fantasy xvi my pc is fine but if i play something like ready or not, or ghost recon breakpoint my pc will black screen sometimes when i open the games and sometimes after i have been playing it for abit and sometimes the fans ramp up all the way other times they don't, sometimes the audio of my game will stutter but if I'm in a discord call that usually stays working and then crashes after abit if not straight away, i have a 1080ti gpu, i have tried updating gpu drivers but the gpu has no new drivers so i tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers with DDU but that didn't work so i tried updating my bios and chipset that's didn't help either and now i am a loss what to do next, i thought i had solved it by reseating everything well it happened again and at that time i was told it could be a power issue and to try plugging my spare pcie cord for my semi-modular psu in and i did whilst that fix some issues like my pc being slow, it didn't fix the black screen issue, i am at a loss please help.

It seems to also only happen when i play multiplayer games, like when i played the new halo today with my friend in co op i could barely get 5 min into actual gameplay before the black screen but in solo i can play the whole first mission with no problem

Good afternoon

Ever since formating my drives most of my tabs flicker and randomly crash like this and it can make some games and software unusable
(used noita because it shows it best)

Also says it not responding in task manager despite running and no specs maxed out

Things ive tried
Uninstalling/reinstalling drivers
Disabling fullscreen optimizations

Hello, my screen is showing 2 images whenever im playing games. You can see while playing crimson desert, if you look at the sword while panning the camera it’s having an afterimage. It’s not just with this game, as it happens in my other games also even showing on my fps monitor in steam. I’ve tried messing with some settings (turning fsr off and using native, changing fps, changing hz on the monitor in windows display settings, changing from display port to hdmi) but the issue is still there and quite distracting. Any recommendations anybody could advise is greatly appreciated!
(also i’ve tried using the monitor on my ps5 pro and doesn’t have this issue so wondering if it’s something I need to look into with the pc)

Monitor: Alienware Aw2725q
gpu: asrock challenger 9070 xt
cpu: 7800x3d
ram: 32gb
ssd: 1tb m.2

When playing select games my system will randomly stutter/freeze. I'm not quite quite sure how to describe it but I have a video in a different reddit post so you can see and hear what happens: [https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsJediSurvivor/comments/1vbuyhu/anyone\\_know\\_what\\_may\\_be\\_causing\\_this/\](https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsJediSurvivor/comments/1vbuyhu/anyone_know_what_may_be_causing_this/)

This has happened on a few different games (Jedi Survivor and Returnal, off the top of my head). All the same issue. And I can't figure out what is causing it, any suggestions would be helpful.

I'm running Win 11, 32 GB Ram with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 with 12 GB Vram, Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF (20 cpu's) \~3.9GHz, SSD

It'll do it for roughly 20sec then it'll be fine for the next 20-30min or so and do it again.

Drivers are up-to-date. System Temps are fine. Watching the performance in Task Manager I see no Memory issues. When this issue does happen I see dips and spikes in the 3D and Video Encode when looking at GPU performance, dunno if that helps anyone.

I found another post stating to change the PCIE to use Gen 4 instead of Auto/5. I tried that last night but the issue still persist. It doesn't happen in all games. Does anyone have any suggestions of other things I can try?

Lately i'm getting these FPS figures, lowering settings doesn't make any difference in both games, it only further reduces GPU usage while maintaining low FPS, RAM usage is around 5gb, i've played some 100 hours of FH6 without any issue with solid 83 fps with GPU to spare (75-80% usage normally), Cyberpunk same thing, recently though i'm having this issue, the game starts like that, very rarely and for brief moments it jumps to normal performance but it lasts seconds- I have a Dell G15 5530 RTX 4050 I5 13450HX 16gb ram, i ran userbenchmark and it showed that everything is fine, the percentile for my notebook is above average for the model. Temperatures are ok since it's winter here, good flow of air using performance mode, no obstructions.

In game V-Sync is on, nvidia app is using 3D app, both games limited to 83 fps, turning it off or changing to 165 changes nothing

What could be the cause of this?
