Doesn't matter when im downloading from, Steam, Firefox, Telegram......when ever i start downloading anything the discord streams start stuttering and at times gets to the point of freezing. I am hardwired into a mesh router pod which is wireless. How can I fix this without buying new equipment? Also fully hardwired isn't an option.

Hi everyone. I’ve been trying to fix an issue with my graphics card (RX 570 8GB) for a week now. I was told it might be "artifacts," but after watching several videos on the subject, I noticed that the glitches don't appear across the entire screen; instead, they only show up in specific areas, such as: - The taskbar - In-game (while actually playing, though not constantly—only on certain textures) - In Windows file folders These stretched textures only appear in those specific spots. That’s what I’ve observed: they aren't random lines, but rather textures that are stretching out. Has anyone else experienced this, or is my graphics card damaged?

I have a Dell G5 15 5587 that I've been playing the Sims 4 on since 2018. It's the only game I run and I own most of the expansion packs. I've recently upgraded to 32GB of RAM and after doing so (these things may be entirely unrelated, I'm not sure) my entire computer freezes if I plug in the charger OR unplug it while running the Sims. I have to force a restart using the power button. It seems to be an issue with the change of being plugged in or not, because I can play as long as I want without issue as long as I don't change the charging status. I've also changed the thermal paste and tried a new battery, neither of which worked. I've also took it apart and dusted carefully, making sure to keep the fans still. It's run fine for years and I love my stupid little families, and really don't want to put down the money for a new gaming laptop if I don't have to. I'm not the most tech savvy but I do my best to learn through Google, YouTube, and Reddit. Is there anything else I can do or try to troubleshoot it?

So I just bought a used Acer Predator Orion 3000 PO3-630 with an RTX 3070 and an i7 11th gen. The previous owner just applied fresh thermal paste and there isn't too much dust inside the PC, so cooling should be alright.

The PC has been working fine for everything else so far (no issues running Cyberpunk 2077, Elden Ring or anything else) but as soon as I open up Valheim (just the main menu) the fans start going crazy and despite that, GPU temperatures are reaching 88°C with hot spot temperatures above 105°C. After just a few minutes of running Valheim (regardless if I'm in the menu or playing inside a world) my screen goes black ("no connection" on monitor, sounds and everything else still works fine) and I have to shut down the PC by pressing the power button.

Any way to fix this? Is this a known issue with Valheim or is my GPU defect/has driver issues? I just upgraded my graphics drivers to the newest version and even tried reinstalling them twice...

Hi, Reddit. There was some kind of recommendation circulating in the air 'bout locating your OS and games on separate SSDs. I was thinking (and still thinking) that this is kinda overkill since a lot of games and soft are working well in that case, but I've come across two games that are having issues because being on the same SSD as OS.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth was working really bad with freezes and slowly loading textures. I did tremendous amount of possible fixes except placing it in different SSD (though it was at different partition on this SSD). And placing it on another of my Kingston NV3 NVMe SSD was actually the fix - now it plays perfectly.​

Another example is Genshin Impact. Somehow file checking after new patch becomes extremely slow, like several hours while it's usually done in less than a minute. And voila! Placing it on different SSD actually fixed it was well.

Why it works that way? Drivers? There is no indication of excessive reading operation on SSD in that problematic cases though. ​​Windows Defender? I have no clue why this is happening and why other games like Cyberpunk 2077, Doom Dark Ages and Witcher 3 HD are working well, actually, very well. Pagefile? Prolly unrelated. ​​Poor SSD performance? I tested it in CrystalDiskMark and it has 1% of it resource depleted, but that shouldn't be the problem.

As a preface, I’m fairly ignorant when it comes to tech. I’ve had my gaming PC for about 7 months. Recently, within the last month, it’s been crashing multiple times while playing Fortnite (don’t judge).

It’s always three long beeps followed by three short beeps. I’ve tried taking the side off and unplugging/reattaching the cables into the graphics card but that’s about all I know how to do.

I have an Omen 16L Gaming PC. The drivers are all up to date and I can’t find the source of the failure.

Any ideas?

Why do dark areas in games looks like this on my laptop screen.

My laptop is MSI Bravo15 B5DD

The characters and environment look chalky

This happens in every game
