After new graphics card.. games suddenly close?

I recently upgraded graphics card and ever since I did I have been having very weird things happen during gaming.

1) My game will completely close almost like I have ALT+F4'd, games like Golf with friends has closed on me twice today, quake live works perfectly and Dead by Daylight work fine.

2) I've even had my computer shut off completely when I was Playing PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, when I turn it back on its absolutely fine though, until that is I play games again..

3) I will get weird mouse movement lag with my curser after closing a game(if I get that far lol)

4) I get strange stutters during gameplay, itll pause for like 5 seconds randomly then resume like nothing has happened, like a 5 second lag/freeze spike.

I ran a few benchmark apps after I installed my new GPU, the first time the PC completely shut off after 5minutes but I tried it again and kept it on for about 30minutes without any problems. Also tried it three times since then and no issues at all.

I have been running CPUz and Open Hardware Monitor to check temperatures and nothing is overheating, graphics barely gets past 36% fan speed(automatic fan speed thing) and doesnt really pass 70c, CPUs are normally sitting at around 50-60c and the general temperature from the pc case is cool, not even warm. I suspect it is possible to do with the fact I have a very cheap PSU but I was wondering if anyone else with more experience could give me some advice, more opinions welcome :)

My specs

Windows 10 Professional Intel Core i5-4690K 3.50GHZ GEFORCE GTX 1070 GAMING X 8GB (upgraded from a gtx 960 2gb) 16GB Ram (basic ram, nothing fancy) Unbranded 500w PSU (sorry to admit this, but the PSU cost me around £13 from amazon - I overspent on my CPU & GPU so had no more money for a decent PSU so hoped a cheap one would do it, and it did work perfectly fine with my older GTX 960, then I upgraded to 1070 which needed another 6 pin(along with the 8pin) power socket.

thanks for reading

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
