I fucking caught it on video this morning. I thought it could have been a corrupted windows install so I spent almost 3 hours last night doing a fresh install of that but no. If anyone has literally any idea wtf is happening let me know. I have some ideas but I'd like to hear from someone who knows a little more then me. #tech #pcgaming #help #myshitsbroken #wecanthavenicethings
@raccoonformality you make games, you know about computers, do you have any fucking clue what's happening. I have theories but I do not have the money to buy new shit to test said theories.
@raccoonformality I talked to my friend who also fucks with pcs and me and him agree. It's a completely dicked motherboard.
@kingslayer69O69 @raccoonformality is it plugged into the motherboard and not the video card? I'd consider a lose connector or a bad connection, considering it only affects the one monitor.
@necrophcodr @raccoonformality no it effects both monitors. One freezes entirely and the other one goes black. I'm gonna see what happens if I only use one monitor
@kingslayer69O69 also not sure what's going on, but:
1) which cable is connected to this display?
2) does it happen only to this specific display?
3) does it happen with only 1 display connected?
@0crash I had my second monitor plugged into my motherboards graphics and not my gpu, I just unplugged it and I have yet to crash again like that. Granted it sometimes doesn't crash until like 2 hours worth of gameplay
@kingslayer69O69 @0crash have you tried to plug both monitors into GPU?
@DumbCreature @kingslayer69O69 maybe also update motherboard drivers and BIOS. Also I was asking about cables because sometimes there are problems with DisplayPort and flickering image

@kingslayer69O69 I'd use MemTest86+ to see if the RAM is faulty.

I assume you have a dedicated GPU for the left screen, a builtin for the right screen. It's easier if you can verify that the issue occurs also with one of these. (Maybe drivers for one of them could hang the whole system when the hardware misbehaves.)

Most of my hardware issues were bad RAM, blown capacitor from the 2000s plague, broken cables, loose cooling. I don't know anything about debugging more on Windows.

@lukyan me and my friend sat and did all the troubleshooting. We both agree it's the motherboard. If it turns out not to be the motherboard then it's most likely the memory controller on the cpu itself
@lukyan only way for me to tell is to spend the 250 dollars I don't have to buy the case psu and motherboard I want/need to rebuild the thing. So either way I'm sitting on this busted thing. I'm gonna be getting my switch back from my little brother today and I'm just gonna play it for now
