Hello, I recently upgraded my PC with a GTX 1650 and tried to play different games. They run, but the shadow looks super blurry. I tried to look online but couldn't find an answer. Is there any way to fix this? Forgot to mention it, but the settings are generaly already maxed out, anti-aliasing too.

Troubleshooting Undervolting my GTX 1650 Super somehow fixed my GTA V black screen issue?

1 Upvotes

So I just wanted to share what happened with my GTX 1650 Super because honestly I’m still not 100% sure what was causing it 😂

Recently, whenever I play GTA V, the game would sometimes crash and then my monitor would suddenly say no signal / black screen.

At first I thought maybe it’s my PSU, GPU, driver, HDMI cable, etc.

The weird thing is, when the screen goes black, the whole PC doesn’t actually seem to be frozen.

I can still press Caps Lock / Num Lock and the keyboard indicator responds. I can also connect to my PC using Unified Remote on my phone, and I can even shut down the PC from there.

So basically, the PC is still alive, but I lose the display.

I tried a bunch of things:

\* Changed HDMI cable
\* Tried another display
\* Tried Win + Ctrl + Shift + B
\* Downgraded my NVIDIA driver
\* Lowered GTA V settings from Very High to High
\* Ran FurMark for around 3 hours and it didn’t crash

But GTA V could still randomly cause the black screen.

So I thought, why not try undervolting the GPU?

I ended up setting my GTX 1650 Super to 1680 MHz at 812 mV.

And so far… it’s actually working 😂

I played GTA V for more than 2 hours with the undervolt and didn’t get the black screen/no signal issue.

What’s funny is that I wasn’t even trying to get more performance. I was just trying to make the GPU use less power and hopefully run cooler.

Now I’m wondering if the stock boost/voltage was somehow causing instability on my card.

But I’m also curious — what could actually be the possible issue here?

Could it be a GPU that has become slightly unstable over time? Maybe the stock boost voltage is no longer ideal for the card? PSU? Driver issue? Something related to GPU power delivery? Or could GTA V just be triggering a specific workload that exposes the problem?

The fact that lowering the voltage and locking it to 1680 MHz seems to make GTA V stable is what’s confusing me.

I know 2+ hours doesn’t prove that it’s 100% fixed yet, so I’m still going to keep testing it.

Has anyone experienced something similar with a 1650 Super, especially where the display dies but Windows is still responsive?

Would love to hear what you guys think the possible cause is.

Controls/Input Using Xbox Series controller via BT on Steam causes inputs to not respond after not pressing inputs for around 10 seconds

2 Upvotes

I seemingly can't find anyone else with the same issue online, and I've tested my controller with Steam controller idle settings and extended feature drivers disabled to no avail. I first noticed it on my desktop PC a couple months ago, in which I use a USB BT dongle for it because it doesn't have a BT supported MB (and I'm aware there might be issues with using a dongle for this purpose), but now it's suddenly occurring on my laptop, which does have internal BT support (also using different controllers for each device). Once again, this only seems to happen when I play games on Steam, or playing non-Steam games with Steam running in the background. The controller itself doesn't disconnect at all, it's just that the inputs themselves doesn't respond in-game after not pressing any inputs for around 10 seconds. When I push a button after that 10 second break nothing happens, but then pressing it again immediately afterwards will work, and everything will work until the next 10 second pause occurs.

Started a while ago, i dont remember what happend before it started like if a gpu driver was updated, i know that i tried to unplug my old logitech camera that i use as a mic and it booted up but then i would enter a match and it would after a couple of minutes restart my pc. I also uninstalled a driver that was used for virtual machines and that helped i believe. Any help would be appreciated

Troubleshooting Pc Black Screen and Fans Running

1 Upvotes

Hello, I have been having an ongoing issue with my PC for months now and it seems to only get worse. Currently my pc will black screen and the fans will run at max when playing certain games, like Marvel Rivals, CGSO, etc. while other times I will get a different issue, an AMD Driver timeout on Dead by Daylight, Fortnite, etc. I have ran multiple tests through OCCT, those being CPU, CPU+RAM, Memory, and Power with no issues occurring, as well as the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool with no problems there either. I have done multiple clean uninstalls and installs of my drivers and even got a new GPU under my warranty but the issues still occur. I have tried undervolting with no success, I also took it to Geek Squad at BestBuy and told them the problem but they were unable to recreate the issue. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions for what to do next.

Specs:

Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 7600 6-Core Processor (3.80 GHz)

Graphics Card: AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT (16 GB)

PSU: Corsair RM850x (2021) 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
