GPU clocks drop to abysmal values

Hello everybody,

I need your opinion on something.

I used to have a gtx670 but lately I had constant freezes in games and even when idle paired with "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding" errors. Mu temps were fine and memory looks fine. I also formatted my machine but the problems remained.

I assumed that the problem is with my GPU so I unburied my old gtx 285 card to test. At the first glance with 285 the system is more stable. No freezes or BSODs. Occasionally I notice a huge frame drop, that was only solved after a reboot.

I used some monitoring tools and today, when in game, I got "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered." and after that my FPS were once again terrible.

What I saw in the monitor is that my GPUs clocks were dramatically down and were staying there no matter what. As expected a reboot fixed it.

On the left side of the picture above, my normal speed. On the right side, the speed when the problem occurred.

Am I right to suspect the PSU? I got a fairly old silverstone strider.

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
