    Some part of Hard drive failing. Unsure which one.
    « on: July 24, 2019, 12:39:53 AM »
    Hello. I have a system of
    16 GB ram. AMD Ryzen 1600 Six core 3.40 GHz, Nvidia geforce RTX 2070. 1tb hdd, 500 ssd. My graphics handling should be fine, I play on a 32 inch 4k monitor. I use 3840 x 2160 resolution for standard. I try to play most games on this resolution as well, but they all crash. If I decrease the quality to approximately "low" or "medium", only then it doesn't crash on me. I do not understand what part of my computer is failing to let me play these games. I can reduce the resolution of a game to 1920x1080 and play windowed, it only takes a side of the monitor, but if I increase the quality of the graphics any further than low, it starts crashing. Could it be an issue with internet? I use a wifi adapter, which I know isn't the best but it never lags or such. I do not believe it could be the graphics card, since this problem has been persisting with my old GPU as well (GTX 1060), but now that I upgraded, it's still crashing all the same. Also recently upgraded power supply and got the ssd I mentioned. In case it was a corrupt disk of my HDD, I put all the games and apps into the SSD, but that had no influence on crashing. Another thing to mention, when I turn on highest graphics on a game, 4k resolution. Most cases it runs 60fps, but still crashes. I have ensured all the drivers are updated. Any idea what might be the issue?

    Its likely an overheating issue of the video card when pushing it harder with the higher resolution, however a cheap power supply that is struggling to handle the load of high end gaming can also cause a crash condition. I would look at the temperatures of the CPU and GPU and report back when gaming. Pause game and look at temps or run game windowed mode with a temperature monitor active so you can play game and watch temps. I use speedfan for checking temperatures.

    Also what make/model power supply are you running?
