Increasing audio lag in videos while in-game

If I watch a video on my second screen while playing certain games, the audio increasingly desyncs from the video, at about 0,5 seconds lag per 10 minutes. This happens with streaming videos in browser, as well as with local files in WMP and MP-HC. Thing is, it only happens with certain games (Shadow of War and Warhammer Total War 2) and not at all with others (Assassin's Creed Origins and Just Cause 3). I'm completely at my wits' end at this point, so I'd be grateful for any ideas.

My pc is a i5-7660k, 16GB RAM, GTX1070, SSD and conventional HDD, Windows 10. I have tried the following to fix this:

  • completely un- and reinstall graphics driver, with and without GeForce Experience
  • adjust process priority in task manager up or down
  • disabled and enabled hardware acceleration in Chrome settings
  • moved affected games to another HDD
  • updated chipset driver
  • updated audio driver
  • deleted games and any related folders
  • tried every Windows power management setting
  • turning ingame settings to minimum

None of these had even an incremental effect on the lag. It also persisted through the Fall Creator's Update. Please, if anyone has any ideas, share. It's driving me up the wall.

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
