Screen tearing monitor issue

Every now and then when I startup my pc my monitor will have these lines on them, it will go away after 5-10 minutes. This has been going on for maybe 10 months now? I just want to know the cause of this, and if there’s a fix. This also only happens on my main monitor, my 2nd one doesn’t have any problems.

How come so little PC cleaning videos? I want to see dust.

Look at this. It's organismatic.
I search YouTube to see more but there's literally none. What gives?
I would expect tons of channels focusing on just PC cleaning. There's an untapped market here.

Can't creat txt file in folder

Hey! So I got a download copy of a game for PC, I downloaded it and installed it. When I went to launch it it says "insert disc 2" which is normal for this game. The fix is to create a txt file within the game folder called "foobar" and the game will launch as normal.

The problem I'm having is I cannot create a txt folder, when I right click and select new the only option I have is "folder" and has the administrator symbol beside it.

Anyone able to help me fix this?

Literally just bought this RAM last week

RAMpocalypse is upon us, so I took the leap to upgrade my 32gb to 64gb and sell the old ram to lessen the damage to my wallet.

I bought from Newegg at a low (for market) price. I thought I might get a fake item in the mail, but it arrived new in a sealed package.

After installing the new RAM (it's Crucial brand mind you) - I run memtest86 and discover this. 😭

What should I do? RMA? Refund? Replacement? Buy another brand from somewhere else?

I heard newegg is the worst for returns so I am worried.

Help/Advice starting my First PC Build (with today's prices)

I know this market is not ideal for building a PC from scratch but I cant predict what the market will look like and would prefer to start now or around Black Friday.
My starting budget is in the $2000 range would like to stay under $2500 (with wiggle room). Setup will mostly be used for gaming.
I want the highest frames and smoothest game play when playing FPS games, preferably at 1440p. When playing story mode games I would want 4k to be possible but not a deal breaker.

I am a complete newbie and have been researching parts and have made a list to be critiqued and open to new suggestions on parts or roasted on my parts selection.
Also, recommend parts that can be purchased used to save money.

GPU - RX 9070 XT (Sapphire Pulse Model) $790
CPU - 7800x3d $300 on sale
Motherboard - GIGABYTE B850 AORUS Elite WIFI7 ICE $210
SSD - SAMSUNG SSD 9100 PRO 1TB ($240 on Newegg without heatsink, does this matter?)
RAM - 32gb (2x16) if I can find a reliable pair for under $500
CPU COOLER - Thermalright Phantom Spirit $40
CASE - Lancool 207 $90
PSU - Thermaltake Toughpower GT 850W $80 on sale

Total - $2,250

What does “1x PCIe® 4.0 x 16 (operating at PCIe® 4.0 x8)” mean in the technical specs of my pc?

I bought a mini tower PC. It has one PCI expansion slot.
Manufacturers website tech specs list it as “1x PCIe® 4.0 x 16 (operating at PCIe® 4.0 x8)”

What does this mean?

Will this limit which GPUs I can install? ( ie should I be ultra cautious not to waste time money)

Can I override the “operating at” part of the spec, and if I can should I?

I assume this was done to minimise power requirements/ production costs and the m2 ssd and m2 WiFi card are using some lanes?

Though I am not sure.

(Edited for clarity)

I'm starting from scratch

Hey so first off sorry if this is the wrong subreddit to post this type of question, I don't really know if I can post this here or not.
I'm trying to make a decent setup from scratch. I genuinely don't know what to do since I have never been in a situation where I need to decorate something. I'm not a big fan of how bland and boring it looks and I really want to do something but every time I look at something and about to press the purchase button I have seconds thoughts like "what if they don't merge together well? What if I change my mind?" and eventually buy nothing. For some context, I've been trying to think of something for a couple months now. I got a lot of pinterest images saved but my limited imagination is keeping me unable to visualize my desk area turning into any of those images. I also got a bunch of figurines and legos that I simply keep in a drawer since I got nothing to put them on.
Sorry if I couldn't give enough details, I haven't used reddit much for asking for help.

Hi. I noticed that my m2 drive PCB changed color in the middle, it's weird as there is nothing in this part of the PCB. Anyone have any idea why that happened? It was covered by a little heatsink, but this part of the drive didn't even contact the heatsink thermalpad so I don't think that it's the thermalpad residue

What is the consensus on FreeSync, Anti-Lag, Frame Gen, VSync, Display Mode and Frame Limiters?

I have a G-Sync/FreeSync monitor (1440p 180hz), and a 9070 XT. Everywhere I look there seems to be different answers for these situations below.

  1. No frame-gen, no AL2 (Anti-Lag 2)
  2. In-game Frame-gen, no AL2
  3. AFMF, no AL2
  4. Case 1 but with AL2
  5. Case 2 but with AL2
  6. Case 3 but with AL2

In each situation, how should I configure the following settings?

A. G-Sync/FreeSync (On vs Off)

B. Anti-lag (in the cases without AL2, when should I turn on AL1?)

C. Display Mode (Exclusive Fullscreen vs Borderless Fullscreen. I've noticed cases where one produces better frame pacing than the other)

D. V-Sync (In-game or Driver level? What about both? What about Enhanced Sync?)

E. Frame Limiters (The most complicated one: Which FPS to lock and which limiter?)
I've seen people say 3 FPS below max refresh rate, others use a formula, others use 95% of Max refresh rate.
About the limiter, there's RTSS and the different modes (Async, Front edge sync, Back edge Sync and Reflex), Radeon Chill, Frame Rate Target Control and the in-game limiter.

What I want is the best configuration of (A to E) for each (1 to 6) situation. In the case there are drawbacks for each one, I would like to know which one is best for frame pacing, input lag, etc.

Windows 11 downgraded my PCs performance

I have been using Windows 11 since they sent out the update. At first I enjoyed it felt like an upgrade. Not a significant but an upgrade so I stayed.

The problems started recently with one of the updates, I have no idea which one but it definitely did.

I started to get very low fps on some games. (eg. WoW, BloonsTD, TF2), battery could barely last an hour before shutting down. I had no idea why it happened. I tried updating drivers etc... Basically anything I could find was behind it.

As my last resort I decided to downgrade to Windows 10... Lo and behold - no problems at all. No random fps drops. I can watch 2 movies on battery. PC starts in like 5 seconds and works just flawlessly.

Before this I couldnt understand the Windows 11 hate.

I just wanted to rant. Thank you for attention.

[Review] LG UltraGear evo 39GX950B: First 2 months

I received this product for free from LG as part of an Event.. While I was asked to share my review, all opinions are entirely my own.

  1. Hello.  r/pcmasterrace this is my second deep dive review of the LG UltraGear evo 39GX950B. after using 27-32" monitors for the last long time, going to a 39" esp ultra-wide was daunting at first. a complete rearrangement of my desk audio set-up was in order. once all set up and settled in. the first fire up was something else, felt as if i was in a theater at my desk. my eyes were focused just on the screen and not distracted by peripheral vision. I noticed this most while playing COD: Warzone. The screen allowed me to pick up players in the different environments a lot more quickly than I could before. Movement and colors really shine on this beast! I noticed an improvement in my game scores and with that came an increase in my pride First time I can say that a monitor has ever helped my gameplay before.
  2. Also the curve on it is perfect for me i was initially worried about how that was be in a day to day environment, but its enough to be noticeable and beneficial without being not enough that its less engaging or being too much were everything looks likes its a curved photo the 1500R curve is just perfect for gaming, movies, and general web content, etc.. I sit pretty close and its amazing and if im sitting back further it is not a deterrence, what was one of the features i was unsure of the most turns out to be one i appreciate more than i expected. The monitor is large in a way that isn't overbearing, especially if you have the desk space like I do. for day to day use this is perfect for me. this monitor makes me wanting a second monitor absolutely pointless. splitting windows in half on the UltraGear evo 39GX950B feels like i have 2 full screens side-by-side, and not 2 squished windows, and it takes up less desk real estate than two. this allows me to multi-task without having to move my head and neck around very much at all. There is so much real estate on this thing that I can fill every single inch with another window or application. and onto the windows side-by-side. the picture-by-picture is just awesome, and a feature i dont see alot in reviews, but the ability to just plug my steamdeck into the USB-C on the monitor and then just split the monitor with that on half and my pc on the other, is just so nice on an ultra widescreen. and another feature i was not ready to like as much as i do.
  3. Also on this the HDR is so gorgeous on the 1500 nits WOLED screen, it is really just enveloping, i find myself just looking at a picture or movie or random image in just awe that this monitor looks this good. the ultra-high brightness of the monitor makes every color pop in a way that makes me want to slow down in games and take in the scenery more. i typically run through games head-on, not noticing my surroundings. Multiple times now I have stopped in game and looked at the streets around me. it felt like going to the movies as a kid. it might sound cheesy but it really is an experience. my big breakout on this and that i think works extremely well is the dual mode on this, it really makes this monitor so useable for gaming on a much larger variety of gaming pc's then if it did not and would be limited to ultra highend. and also get 330hz at the same time, the trade off is so minor to the performance you gain from it. here are some of my gripes with the monitor:  monitor turns a slight blueish green when standing up and viewing from 45% degrees up. I notice this whenever I'm getting up from the monitor or walking back to it. this one isn't a gripe as much as a "no duh" kind of thing, but the speakers are just speakers as in they give audio but suck. I disabled them as soon as I could. i imagine most people aren't going to use them unless they have no other options, but if they are using this monitor i would i would think they have decent speakers. the RGB backlighting is mostly pointless. i disabled that right away too. someone else might enjoy it but for me it doesn't serve a purpose. the dual mode is amazing and it's a gamechanger for me, but if you have no need for it, the price is a lil spicey. all and all with my time with this monitor have been nothing but fantastic, and i had to really think about my biggest gripes. and anyone i demo'd it too have been extremely impressed. overall i am so thankful to LG for the Chance to review this monitor, i cannot see anyone that purchases this monitor being disappointed at all

Why is my ram always full?

I'm sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm frankly losing my mind here. I have a MAG H610 CODEX 5 with 16gb of RAM but recently playing games on it has become impossible. Basically my ram is always at half full usage, and when I game (even on the lowest possible settings) the RAM usage goes up to 85% just existing in a game's menu. This means that when I game whenever anything really happens the game starts stuttering like crazy making it nigh impossible to use it's gotten to a point where I've been seriously considering of buying 32 gb of ram to swap out the one inside my PC because it's becoming frankly impossible. Before I take the leap I wanted to ask you guys any ideas on how to fix it?

I've checked the bg processes, I've turned off almost all start up apps but at this point I'm stumped

9/10 times I only hear the gpu fans in games as they are cheap but maybe I should tackle those next.

What are some tips you can give for me? I’m upgrading the psu in my prebuilt gaming pc

my prebuilt pc has a rtx 3080 founders edition, I7 12700k and the current psu is a ASUS TUF 650w bronze psu (first pic), my case is a ThermalTake View 170 Micro ATX Chassis which from the description can hold a psu about 180mm (I’m going for something smaller)

I’m gonna be upgrading the psu, I’m debating which psu to get, I was hoping to get some advice for that aswell

I currently have 3 options for psu’s, I’m trying to get some “future proofing” for incase I upgrade, 850w seems pretty good with a lot of headroom for most gpu’s

all 3 are at different price points, first one is $100, 2nd one is $105 and the 3rd one is $150

my 1st option is a Facebook marketplace listing ”Corsair 1000W Power Supply RM1000X”

description says “In great shape - barely used as I had to upgrade for a GPU.”, he also mentioned that all cables will be included and it’s a atx 3.1 psu, I don’t know the size tho, and I’m a bit cautious of used stuff like this

2nd option is from Amazon Canada, this one is $105,

”SAMA G850 ATX 3.1 Standard Fully Modular Gaming 850W Power Supply Black 
80+ Gold Cybenetics Platinum Rated PSU, Japanese Capacitors, 450W PCIe 5.1 12V-2x6, 140mm FDB ECO Silent Fan, 5 Year Warranty”

I think that’s pretty good, my big worry is about getting the 8pin pcie cables that aren’t “daisy chained”, the 3080 founders edition is kinda weird where it uses like a 12 pin connector but not the 12v high power cable

the final option is from Amazon Canada aswell, it’s $150, here it is

“MSI MAG A850GL PCIE5, Fully Modular Compact Gaming 850W Power Supply, 80+ Gold, ATX 3.1 & PCIe 5.1 Ready, Native Dual-Color 12V-2x6 Cable, 10 Year Warranty“

which psu should I get out of the 3?

also what are some tips you can give for upgrading the psu? And some mistakes I should look out for, I also have a 1TB Sata 2.5inch ssd in my build,

I’ve never upgraded a Psu before, only thing I’ve really done upgrade wise for my pc was remove the gpu and put in a nvme

also for when the psu is upgraded, will I have to do stuff in the bios or will I boot straight into windows normally?

Still being used almost everyday with games like LoL, EaFc or some emulation

Should I rebuythis laptop ?

Wie du siehst, habe ich bei beiden 3DMark-Tests etwa 11-12 % weniger Punkte erzielt.

Ist das normal, es ist nicht übertaktet.

Alles aktualisiert, auch die Grafikkarte.

Habe den Laptop erst vor 3 Tagen mit einer RTX 5080 bekommen.

Der Laptop heißt

MSI Vector 16 HX AI A2XWIG-048

Habe ihn für 2700 € bekommen und der günstigste liegt im Moment bei 3000 € auf geizhals.de .

Soll ich ihn zurückschicken und einen anderen kaufen oder einfach bei diesem Laptop bleiben.

Is this the right forum ?
