PC hangs when playing games/watching videos. After manually turning it off or letting it automatically turn off. It can't be on for about an hour.

I've been having issues with PC crashes. It was sporadic in the past but I noticed that it increase in frequency lately.

What usually happens is that it crashes when I am playing any 3d intensive games such as Divinity OS 2 or Subnautica, sometimes while having a youtube/twitch video play in the background. The crash is just a freeze frame and a loud buzzing sound in my headphone (presumably a crash on the audio output). Followed by either me manually turning it off by holding the power button or it turning itself off.

After that, the PC will be unable to power on for about an hour after. There is still light on the motherboard and GPU though. I have tried to let it cool down and/or unplugging all internal and external components and replugging but it makes no difference.

The probability of it crashing is higher when playing any game with twitch running.

My CPU temperature is running around 45 degree Celsius on normal usage and rises up to about 60 to 70 when running games. GPU is running at 55 degree Celsius while normal and rises to 70-80 when playing games, sometimes a little more. However, as the crashes are random I'm not able to grab the temperature when the crashes occur.

The specs are:

CPU: Intel Core i5-6600 @ 3.30GHz Mobo: Asus Z170M Plus RAM: 2x Vengeance® LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 2400MHz GFX: Asus R9280x OS HDD: Samsung SSD 840 EVO 120GB Data HDD: Western Digital Black WD2002FAEX 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB Game HDD: Samsung SSD 850 EVO 500GB Tray: Asus DRW-24D5MT PSU: Seasonic G-650 OS: Win7 SP1 64-bit

Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is driving me nuts.

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
