whenever i try to type in my search bar it just disappears

#

the file above is a recording of what happens

vestal ibex
#

There's a windows repair file in the pins, try that first

blissful folio
vestal ibex
#

Make a system restore point
In regedit delete HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search

blissful folio
#

what is regedit

humble sigil
#

Fal idk if they should mess w/ it (re) ---Javier, this is it.

vestal ibex
blissful folio
#

so i just delete it?

vestal ibex
#

The specific key, yes

#

Not the whole thing

blissful folio
#

?

vestal ibex
#

Yes

#

Once you do, reboot and see if you can use search again

blissful folio
#

do i delete the "search settings" file aswell?

vestal ibex
#

No, only the one I mentioned

blissful folio
#

alri one sec

#

nope still doesnt let me type in the search bar

blissful folio
#

other then that, i did the other steps and nothing worked

vestal ibex
#

Open an admin powershell window and run this:
Get-AppXPackage -Name Microsoft.Windows.Cortana | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

#

That'll reinstall the cortana (search) app

blissful folio
#

nothing

blissful folio
vestal ibex
#

Well I know one method that would work is making a new admin user

blissful folio
#

would that delete everything?

vestal ibex
#

I'm guessing the reason it broke is due to a windows update at this point, and they typically fix it next patch

#

Not if you leave the old user in place

blissful folio
vestal ibex
#

You could try a system restore back to before that update and see if that helps

blissful folio
#

how do i do that

vestal ibex
#

Go down to "how to recover"

blissful folio
#

How to recover using System Restore on Windows 10

#

?

vestal ibex
#

Yeah that

blissful folio
#

how do i get to System Properties page.

#

if i cant search anything in my search bar

vestal ibex
blissful folio
vestal ibex
#

Then that's not an option

#

But you should probably enable that

blissful folio
#

alri im willing to try making a new admin user

#

how do i do that

#

"change account settings"?

vestal ibex
#

"Add someone else"

#

"I don't have this person's info"

#

"Add a user without a microsoft account"

#

Pick a username and password

blissful folio
#

after i do that

#

then what

#

i switch users?

vestal ibex
#

Yes

#

You'll be able to access your old user profile's data by navigating to the folder and allowing yourself access

blissful folio
#

alri yeah i just switched back and it worked

vestal ibex
#

Default libraries are in C:/Users/"Username"

blissful folio
#

alright bro

#

i got it

#

i appreciate you

#

thanks

vestal ibex
#

Happy to help out

#

@gleaming plaza am aware lol, also this one bit better because has sfc then dism's then sfc again can sometimes catch errors 2nd sfc

gleaming plaza
#

ah yes sfc x2 good stuff

violet crane
#

am i allowed to post for troubleshooting help in here?

dusky geyser
#

if its for windows and or software, ye

#

if its an image you want to post, you have to talk a bit more though since you have to be level 3 to do so

violet crane
#

gotcha

#

what about a link?

dusky geyser
#

also level 3 unless its a newegg or pcpp link

violet crane
#

okay so ill explain what's going on and hopefully

#

ill be able to send the link

violet crane
#

so basically, my system:
Ryzen 5 3600 (no oc)
Corsair 16GB Vengeance RGB 3200Mhz CL16
AsRock B550 Extreme4
Nvidia RTX 2070S FE (no oc)
LG GL850 1440p 144hz (2 1080p extras as well)
Windows 11 Pro

When i built my pc in Apr 2020 everything seemed to work fine, i played games like; siege, apex, forza, and cod mw. all of a sudden about 6-7 months ago i noticed that my games would start to drop frames to about 10-15 fps from the 144hz whenever my cursor was showing on screen. i thought nothing of it because it happened in games where i dodn't really have to use my cursor for example forza and mw, but then it started to get intrusive so i began to look into it. it only happened in certain games so i came to the consideration that it might not be a hardware issue

Things i tried:
DDU/Safemode driver install
Reinstalling problem games
lowering graphic settings
running a single display
Fresh install of windows 11

After the fresh install the first thing that i installed was FH5 and sure enough the problem was gone, and i paid close attention to everything i installed to make sure if the issue returns i can isolate what exactly caused it. it turned out to be the Microsoft Visual C++ 20xx Redistributable that some games would install before you can run them, so i tried uninstalling it, that seemed to work because the frame droppage stopped after a reboot. But then once installed more games, they added more redistributables (doesn't matter the year if one is installed it happens) so i continued to uninstall them because the games that did add them had no issues without them being installed, until i installed titanfall and my screen started flickering black, i assumed because they were missing something that was actually vital so i headed over to microsoft and i downloaded all the visual redistributables they had, lo and behold it stopped for a bit and i did not have the cursor problem either, but then it started again and the frequency and speed would vary and once it started i would either have to stop playing the game or reboot my pc and hope that solved it temporarily, but fast forward to today, nothing stops it. The second i launch apex legends, or mw and get into the menus it begins. im lost for words and i do not know what to do, i have reached out to nvidia in hopes to RMA my gpu but i have not received a response from their support team after submitting the requested information. the only thing i have not tried to rule out it being a hardware issue is trying a diff GPU which i can't really do rn and i dont have an igpu

#

sorry if that was too much

#

i have a link that i can dm to a video i posted on twitter showing the issue during titan fall 2

somber berry
#

how do i update amd drivers? its been a few days since my pc started having blue screens do i just install the ones from the motherboard page?

somber berry
#

so i just install those and i should be good?

#

or do i need to manually remove the ones i have

vestal ibex
#

It'll update the ones it needs to

broken socket
#

@blissful folio There should have been a restore point with every Windows Update/Patch. Unless they did away with that system default.

somber berry
#

k

somber berry
vestal ibex
#

The chipset drivers aren't motherboard specific

somber berry
#

oh

#

then why does it say b550?

vestal ibex
#

It should include all the current AM4 socket chipsets

#

Sort of an all in one, though they don't advertise it like that

somber berry
#

oh ok

#

uh

#

now quick question

#

how do i know which one is triggering the bsod and which to install

vestal ibex
somber berry
#

oh uh

#

i just installed the chipset driver/app

#

ill sent it in dms

vestal ibex
#

That's fine, you can still send the file and we can narrow down the cause

broken socket
#

@somber berry There is record made of the failure. What I would do is go to Bleeping Computer for help, it's free, as thorough as you can get, have all the tools you'll need to help them help you. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/ Go to 'Forums' to register a free account, that's the 1st step. They'll diagnose the BSOD, SFC logs, you name it.

broken socket
#

ESPECIALLY if you get a virus, they can't be beat.

somber berry
#

nvm

#

i cant send dmp files

somber berry
broken socket
#

You're welcome

keen egret
#

anyone know of an easy way to figure out which driver is causing my computer not to boot up when driver signature enforcement is enabled

vestal ibex
somber berry
#

i cant

#

it auto deletes the zip file

vestal ibex
#

Copy it to desktop first

somber berry
#

oh

broken socket
#

@somber berry They will forensically comb every trouble code that leads to the pile up, as long as your OS is legit. That is mandatory.

somber berry
#

wdym legit

broken socket
#

@keen egret System File Checker, for one, the Boot Logs...

#

Once you run SFC, you need to run a script to capture the generated file. I'll see if I can find it.

vestal ibex
#

@somber berry What antivirus are you using? Debug stack looks suspiciously like AV

somber berry
#

eset internet sec

keen egret
broken socket
#

sfc /scannow ~ copy %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log "%userprofile%\Desktop\cbs.txt"

#

findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log >%userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt

#

@keen egret Yup!

vestal ibex
somber berry
#

wdym ethernet port

broken socket
#

That might compound his issues, maybe.

vestal ibex
#

Just the driver for the ethernet

keen egret
#

Lol, it looks like it fixed a link to one drive on the start menu and that's it

somber berry
#

ok

#

ill give it a look

vestal ibex
#

Latest driver on Asus website is from 2019

somber berry
#

i have those

#

i ussualy reinstall windows every like 5 months cuz it starts having issues always

broken socket
#

@keen egret Well, that's great news considering that other message you can see, 'SystemFileChecker could not repair any damaged files' or however it goes, it's ugly when you see it.

keen egret
#

Oh yeah I can imagine

broken socket
#

and I have, LMAO!

keen egret
#

the only other way I've been seeing to find drivers is a long and tedious process

broken socket
#

which drivers do believe are corrupt?

#

*you

keen egret
#

Oh I'd imagine so. The weirdest thing I saw when working retail tech support is ransomeware

broken socket
#

I haven't ever had an issue w/t or any virus either, their pretty easy to avoid.

keen egret
#

I honestly don't know. I tried to shut my computer down for the night a few days ago and instead of doing that, it restarted and gave me the good old blue screen

broken socket
#

you need that file it generated.

keen egret
#

sfcdetails?

broken socket
#

are you having a lot of timing errors

keen egret
#

I don't think so?

broken socket
#

packet collisions, for lack of a better word atm.

vestal ibex
somber berry
#

alr

keen egret
#

still have no clue

somber berry
#

ill install those if it happens again

#

also how can i check which app keeps taking more storage every day?

#

i had like 195 gb yesterday and now i have 180

#

and evbery day it keeps going down and up

broken socket
#

so make yourself a text file on the desktop for notes, copy those3 2 lines od commands on there.

#

2 Command lines, Run from Command Prompt as Admin. Run the top, then the bottom one. you may be amazed at what you'll see.

vestal ibex
#

Sounds like it could be hibernation file, swap file, temp files, the usual.
You can disable hibernation (powercfg /hibernate off) and delete the hiberfile on the system root, and you can also reduce the size of your swap space. If you have 16GB+ of memory you don't need more than the minimum swap.

broken socket
#

if there's any corruption in you System Files, you'll see where it is.

keen egret
#

so the whole first command is

#

sfc /scannow ~ copy %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log "%userprofile%\Desktop\cbs.txt"

#

or without the copy bit

broken socket
#

don't linger on grabbing the CBS. LOG file, the guy over at B.C told me they spoil somehow...

#

If there are corrupt files, I guess it could deteriorate the more you run, the more is damaged.

keen egret
#

I run the first line and it gives me like the different type of SFC scans?

broken socket
#

It's timing errors that bring your machine to a crawl, nightmare.

#

That's when you go begging for help that isn't coming from M$ with those error codes, barf....

keen egret
#

I don't think the first line you gave me is running

#

every sfcdetails I grab is just the old one

broken socket
#

there won't be any discernable change in the SFC report if you keep running it.

#

It can only do so much, it's when it can't complete the script, up around the 92% completed point that brings it all home... XD

#

Have you run CHKDSK?

keen egret
#

I have not

broken socket
#

That's the one that will have the 1st shot at repairing the Boot File.

keen egret
#

ran the scan again and it didn't find any integrity issues

#

goddammit

#

I keep not clicking cmd

#

lol, no issues

#

I wonder if this update that refuses to install is part of the issue

#

it started around then

broken socket
#

cool, I hit a back button & got lost, LOL

#

Gotta be careful running chkdsk, a lot of controllers that can be used, and depending on which one you use, size of you HD, the degree of screening you select, could take hours, at least on an old HDD.

#

I think it's the repair switch that causes it to run a really long time.

keen egret
#

I have a gen 3 SSD

#

PCIe gen 3

broken socket
#

cool, I would guess that it'll run a lot faster.

#

Reclaiming/Repairing any Bad Sectors of the Drive would be a waste of time I think. These new ones don't have those issues, do they?

keen egret
#

Nah, i ran it with the /f modifier and it was fine

#

I'll probably end up doing a clean reinstall

#

Thanks for helping me my guy!

broken socket
#

You're more than welcome, I had to redo my Pw over there, lol It's been a while.

#

@keen egret There is a GANG of info over there.

#

@keen egret I've got 2 screen captures for you, what you expect once yo go over & register. Not sure if they'll post.

broken socket
keen egret
#

I’ll check it out if issues arise again, I have it saved in my resources. I just ended up doing a full reinstall which I probably should have done a while ago anyways. I have all my .exe files saved places so I can reinstall everything quickly when ai have the chance

@tepid silo pleas ban this user hes hurting my feelings 😭

My next issue with the win 11 upgrade it’s green screening

#

I don’t have any usb drives plugged in

vestal ibex
#

Insider problems 🙄
You can just use the windows 11 upgrade assistant and switch to insider later if you want

tacit dagger
#

Wait

#

Oop

tacit dagger
#

@vestal ibexi have done that and cleared anytrace of windows 11 stuff

#

so now imma try one more time

tacit dagger
#

@vestal ibex

#

It’s when install reaches 75% after the reboot

#

Do you think it’s cause my documents are on my second drive?

#

I also have a network drive attached to ox

#

tacit dagger
#

Last idea

#

I turned off my sata controller

#

XD

tacit dagger
#

nevermind giving up

#

wont work

#

not worth the drama

broken socket
#

@tacit dagger click on the start menu, scroll down to Windows Administrative Tools, open & config Performance Monitor, create a log. Run it. Go to Events Viewer, See what's there for starters.

tacit dagger
#

a bit late

#

i already reinstalled and put 11

broken socket
#

Better late than never.

tacit dagger
#

true

#

thanks tho

broken socket
#

yep

#

@tacit dagger Were you already using 11?

tacit dagger
#

no

#

i was upgrading from 10

broken socket
#

Hmmm, how do you like it so far?

tacit dagger
#

its good

broken socket
#

Is that the one I see in my Task Bar, from M$?

#

Or an outside upgrade?

tacit dagger
#

what+

broken socket
#

There's some features in 10 that aren't carried over to 11. I don't know what they are though, and the one mentioned in the article I don't recall.

shell adder
#

Hey guys everytime i download the .net framework it fails what can I do?

peak notch
#

you not using win10?

shell adder
#

I am, it just keeps failing

peak notch
#

the update?

#

or are you installing from an executable

vestal ibex
shell adder
#

How exactly do i do that

peak notch
#

that is pinned, isnt it

#

always forget

vestal ibex
#

Download the bat file and double click it, that's all

peak notch
shell adder
#

Thank you

broken socket
#

Ya gotta see the logs, find out what's failing.

shell adder
vestal ibex
#

Yes that

shell adder
#

Alright ill let you know what happens

#

Ahh its still failing

#

And that top one is stuck at 0%

vestal ibex
#

Oh download error, that's different

shell adder
#

Its been like this for days, I keep trying different things

vestal ibex
#

What have you tried? Cleared your download cache?

shell adder
#

I tried reinstalling windows

#

I changed something in services it told me to change

#

I ran a troubleshooter and it couldn’t identify it

broken socket
#

XP had that problem for a while, if I remember correctly...

shell adder
#

Anything I could do..? It’s frustrating because games keep asking for it

vestal ibex
#

Stop the windows update service, then delete the contents of C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution and C:$WINDOWS.~BT folders.

#

You can also try installing the update manually, or the full latest version

shell adder
#

Im not finding that second one

#

The $windows

broken socket
#

hidden file

shell adder
#

Shoot i forgot how to show hidden files

#

Got it nvm

broken socket
#

: )

shell adder
#

I go into $windows.~WS and theres sources

broken socket
#

take a look at the Events Viewer, just for kicks...

#

afk

shell adder
#

Am I supposed to be in $windows.~WS

vestal ibex
#

You could probably just skip that one for now honestly

shell adder
#

Alright

vestal ibex
#

The softwaredistribution folder contains all the download files and manifests and that's usually enough to force it to reset

shell adder
#

What do i do after I delete it

vestal ibex
#

Reboot and try to update again

shell adder
#

alright im rebooting now

vestal ibex
#

If that fails I'll give you a link to install manually

shell adder
#

Alright Thank you

#

This has been frustrating me for a while and i cant seem to get consistent help

#

It downloaded but failed the install with the same error code

vestal ibex
#

Download error again?

shell adder
#

Yep same one

vestal ibex
#

Ok one sec

shell adder
#

Alright ill try this

#

It says its already installed

#

Its actually cant install anything

vestal ibex
#

Hey at least the top download finished it looks like

shell adder
#

It actually didnt finish it just keeps installing over and over

vestal ibex
#

I'll find that specific KB file

shell adder
#

So i should find the .net 4.8 and delete it and reinstall?

shell adder
#

It says this ugh

#

should i go to recovery and reset my pc? or will it delete all my games and stuff?

vestal ibex
#

That's basically a reinstall, which you said you've done

shell adder
#

i could try again i suppose?

#

it says itll remove apps, so will i just have to install the apps and everything like my games tied to those apps will stay?

vestal ibex
shell adder
#

sure hold up

#

i ran the tool and im a little confused what to do after

vestal ibex
shell adder
#

the 4.8 one correct?

vestal ibex
#

You want 4.8 and 3.5

shell adder
#

alright

#

it says 4.8 is installed already again so ill try 3.5

#

yep, still cant install.. i dont know whats wrong with it.

vestal ibex

Unfortunately I'm out of time to help today. Time to go to work.

alright np! thanks!

lime meteor

i have used 2 controllers over the last few months and need help as they are not connecting properly to my pc anymore. My first was a nintendo switch pro controller which worked perfectly until my brother used it on a different switch, after it was returned to me it would no longer connect to my computer with or without usb c. Next, i used my brothers ps5 controller and when it asked for it back for a while and returned it to me it would no longer connect to my pc anymore, i have tried a usb c connection and it works but not as intended. Is there a solution?

vestal ibex
#

I'm assuming you've tried re-pairing using the button combinations?

how do i do that

brazen jasper
#

Hey, this is a bit of a strange question that's quite a bit above my skill level, but would a barebones windows VM be able to support Corsair iCUE if I chose to run linux?

vestal ibex
#

Probably not unless you can expose raw hardware addresses to the vm. There's alternatives like openrgb.

brazen jasper
#

Yeah, I'm just concerned about device profiles for my kb and mouse, and those go beyond just rgb

#

Ahh well, right now it's all academic anyways. I cant build a pc for a few months yet

vestal ibex
#

Linux isn't really meant for a gaming machine tbh.
I know some logitech mice have onboard profiles you can switch between, even if you plug them into another pc. You could make use of that.

somber berry
#

@vestal ibex uh do u mind helping me again lol

#

every time i leave my pc on idle and i go do something else it crashes

Yeah I know linux isnt great but I have a bone to pick with microsoft. I wont get into it tho. Thank you for the help

#

uh

uh

how do i upload dmp files

You can copy it to the desktop and zip it

somber berry
#

alr

#

bruh

#

it wont let me either

#

alr its uploading

vestal ibex
# somber berry alr its uploading

There's not a lot of info in the minidumps, but it appears to be a problem with corrupt os files (run the batch file in the pins) or bad memory or primary storage. The second one happened when the system was trying to store in the page file, which is on the C drive.

somber berry
#

then it might be my ram id have to change since its always given me ram related issues

#

ty ill try the commands and hope it works

shadow dove
#

Does anyone know if hybrid sleep pauses your downloads if you leave your PC running?

humble sigil
#

Well your pc wouldn't be running when it enters the hybrid sleepmode. Otherwise no effect. It's a mix between sleep & hibernation, I just forget exactly how it is.

shadow dove
#

Oh I see, i was exploring the setting due to downloading a 60GB file

humble sigil
#

Idk if I still have it on, but I only use Hibernation instead because it's quick enough and sort of safer by putting more stuff onto hdd/ssd instead of ram

shadow dove
#

understood - i'll just not mess with it then tbh

#

thanks for the reply here

crisp spire
#

new task manager soon

humble sigil
#

System wide dark mode needs to be built in. Come on Microsoft

vestal ibex
#

Pretty sure that was one of the windows 11 features, at least one they promised

humble sigil
#

Good, something else decent for the early adopters. Win10 likely won't get it as a standard "theme" ya think? I'm a noob with doing the reg edits or such for system wide dark mode.

vestal ibex
#

There's already "dark mode" themes but they don't apply to everything still. Win11 promised to apply to the whole system (barring third party programs).

shadow dove
#

that's fine as long as it's a dark mode easy on the eyes

humble sigil
#

Actually can someone post again a quick/ez way to get Win10 dark mode? Even if just task manager mostly. Many programs aren't stuck on a light mode.

tall lichen
#

happened while installing? sounds like a hardware problem

#

maybe it never ran hard enough on linux to expose them

cause windows is a lot heavier and more bloated

I think it is. The only thing that’s changed is I added an ssd.

And I have had two 45 minute zoom calls on Linux, which ran the cpu about 50 percent constantly

Should I disable hyper threading?

Or just start disabling the startup tasks?

maybe try slightly increasing CPU voltage

Anyone know of any software where you can just drag an mp4 file onto the window and it converts the file to a gif and saves at the location of the original mp4? (or like a customizable output file path)

looking for something lightweight and not like some giant suite of converter options that has a premium cost

i use giphy but only problem with it is they only allow up to 100mb uploads and 15second clips, but you can download the gif if you want

command line

cd path-to-folder

Zip up the files located in c:/Windows/Minidump and send them to me. I'll tell you which driver it is.

ok now what?

Run the analysis and send me the summary window, as well as the dump files window

it says intel graphics kernel mode new driver is causing the crash

Windows update is better than the updaters but updating individual drivers as needed is best. Most of the time you don't need to update drivers unless you're having problems or a new version introduces a feature you want.

so the problems still happening...I woke my pc up from sleep, but didnt do anything after that for a few seconds so the monitor went on standby because I wasn't clicking on anything or moving the mouse.

I clicked on the mouse and moved it around...still nothing. Monitor stayed on standby and then my pc just randomly restarted.

these may be stupid questions to some people but I've ran out of ideas. both not pressing issues but would like to know what to do to fix it. 1st is my ram. It stays lit up when I put my pc into sleep mode. I've tried checking in the armoury create app and ive gone into the BIOS and changed the setting in "on board devices". the BIOS selection turned off all the other lights on the mobo but not the ram. 2nd issue is in the booting process sometimes the "VGA" light stays on. it doesnt affect anything when its on but its annoying so I end up restarting my pc and it goes off. it doesnt always stay on but it does it enough to annoy me. any suggestions would be great PLEASE and THANK YOU!

The restarts happen when I wake the system up from sleep, the monitor shuts off, then the pc randomly restarts right after. When I restart my computer after an update or for any reason at all, I get a bsod. the bsod says DRIVE_POWER_STATE_FAILURE. I've updated my pc to the latest drivers and the problem still persists. I've almost lost important work I'm scared to run any updates now because I don't want anything getting corrupted. Please help

# digital karma I need help urgently. I built a pc roughly 3 weeks ago and everything was workin...

First off, run the scan and fix bat file that's in the pins.
Second, run whocrashed. The analysis conclusion should tell you which driver is failing. From the sound of it, it's either the graphics or motherboard drivers.
If it is the graphics driver, you'll want to run ddu from safe mode and reinstall it after. Try a previous version too, latest nvidia has had some issues I have seen.

You can try a fresh install of windows, but if that doesn't work you'll probably need to rma the motherboard.

How often does the error pop up? I've had Malwarebytes subscriptions expire on me multiple times and that's never happened before.

To look at the temps, hwinfo 64(gives more info) or msi afterburner will do, to stress test it, 3d mark demo(timespy) on steam is free and a decent benchmark, your temps shouldn't get much higher than they do in that

You might be able to change it through the registry

somber berry
#

i dont really wanna touchj that

graceful bramble
#

Then you may be out of luck unless there is some third parry application that easily changes your Windows account profile picture, which I doubt it may exist.

I suggest you save up a little money and buy your self a legitimate key from microsoft it will save you a lot of pain.

Not really unactivated is free and just has watermark

#

Pay like 20$ for 3rd part key if you really wanna get rid of it

flat pawn
crisp spire

crisp spire

overlay

for fps and gpu usage and stuff

flat pawn

If you just want gpu temps for now, start with Gpu-z

#

Gpu drivers/software can be updated by googling Nvidia drivers then following steps on their site.

Sup guys, so 3monthw ago my pc was missin up with me. It restarts whenever I run a malewarebytes scan. So I reset it and It was fine till lately the same problem is appearing, Plus it happens randomly when im not using the computer and this’s the BSOD I get:
KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR
Any help would really be appreciated 🤝

vestal ibex
# shut stag Sup guys, so 3monthw ago my pc was missin up with me. It restarts whenever I run...

That's one of 3 things, corrupt files, bad memory or overclock, or a bad system drive.
Corrupt files you can fix with the scan and fix bat file in the pins.
To test if it's memory, reset the memory back to default speeds (xmp/docp off) and see if you still have problems. If it's already default speed or you still have problems, try another kit.
The system storage drive is a little harder to diagnose, but you can check for smart errors or windows errors in the logs.

shut stag

Great, thanks!

shut stag

And I didnt do any overclocking or smth, i basically didnt change anything unnecessary
