Losing video input when gaming

Hi /r/techsupport, so since last night I'm currently experiencing issues with losing video input when trying to game. It first happened randomly when I was mid race in Assetto Corsa, I randomly lost video input and heard a Windows pop up error sound. I had no way to go back to my desktop so I had to hard reset my PC and everything is working fine on. So I try once again to go back to racing and once my race loads I lose video input again and hear the Windows pop up sound again. I'm thinking WTF. So next boot I try to play some Witcher 3 and once the game loads up to the menu I lose input and get the Windows error sound. So the next boot I end up trying Minecraft and for some odd reason I'm able to play that. So I do some Google searching and see it may be a GPU or PSU issue but I hope that isn't the case.

Some of the solutions I've tried were switching out input cables and took out my GPU and put it back in. I'm currently not connected to the internet on this PC due to being over a data cap so I'm unable to check for a driver update.

My specs are: ASUS Z-170 Pro Gaming i5-6600K(Stock clock atm) Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3200MHz Gigabyte GTX 970 Xtreme Gaming EVGA Supernova NEX650G 80+ Gold

Rig is only a little over a year old but I'm hoping this is a driver issue in which I can check tomorrow when my data resets.

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
