1000watts is more than enough for that, Seasonic suggests a 750

What make were you getting?
Hello,
Thanks for your reply.
Now i have the Corsair RM1000X. I think there are some issues with it!

I have been checking out this psu. Pretty good reviews.
Be quiet pure power 12 1000w.

It would be more than enough for that PC
What are the issues as they have a 7 year warranty. If it has a problem, contact Corsair.
That is what I am using in my current PC.
Hi,
Thanks for your reply.

I game some weirds graphical issues in games. (CS2 and BF).

Here's what i have tried:
· Different older versions of Nvidia display drivers. (Uninstalled using DDU).
· Re-installed the games.
· Tried different settings in Nvidia control panel.
· Reinserted the graphic card.
· Checked all cables.
· Updated firmware on my monitor.
· Updated to latest BIOS.

The funny think is i can play CS2 in practice mode WITHOUT any problems!

Windows works just fine.
 
I used to answer questions on Tom's Hardware and I can't say I ever seen anyone fix a GPU problem by updating BIOS on GPU. Make sure its the right one if you do that.

There aren't many tests for GPU, mainly run benchmarks.
Things like Heaven or Superposition can stress GPU but they won't show specifics really.

Take screenshots of the glitches. If nothing else it will prove if its the GPU or the monitor. As if nothing shows on the screenshots, it isn't rendered and therefore has to be caused by the monitor.

Thanks for your reply.

I have made a video.

That is a strange one, I assume the glitch is the gpu redrawing image randomly.
I don't even know how to describe it to look for similar cases.

I would post it on
with the video and build desciption, and perhaps someone there will have an answer.

If you run something like 3d mark do you get the same issues? Are you running HWInfo or similar so you can monitor temps etc? I don't think it is temp related but you neever know.
HI,
Thanks for your reply.

I have been though Benchmark heaven. There was no problem. I got a pretty fine score. (Don't remember the figures) But but no graphical issues.
Haven't checked HWinfo.

I will check my router and ethernet cables.
 
Did you ever do a clean install of Nvidia drivers?
Using DDU?


  1. install DDU
  2. Boot into safe mode
  3. run DDU and uninstall all Nvidia drivers
  4. restart PC in normal mode and install latest.

Another choice can be to do all that and run windows update instead of Nvidia installer, as windows should have drivers for card

Hi,
Thanks.

I have tried DDU with no luck.

I will look into the Windows update situation also.
 
can do same for intel
can also set a sensor to track GPU temps. HWINFO shows everything.

Nvidia drivers have been problems recently.

Problem solved:)

I connected a new LAN cable from the pc direct in to the fiberterminal. There is a 4 port hub in the fiberterminal.

This must mean that the TP link router I have plugged into the fiber terminal or the old LAN cables are broken.

maybe a little embarrassing, I restarted the router and now it works again.
(It hasn't been turned off in many years)

In my wildest fantasy I couldn't imagine it was an internet related problem because the internet works fine.

But, maybe the problem will come back again. Don't completely trust the router.

it wasn't obviously internet related.

It isn't an obvious place to look.

The router worked fine for how many years and now you don't trust it? Maybe it just needed that restart. The restart may have given you a new IP address, you might be on a better connection now.

Hi,
Yes i agree. I will use the router.
It has actually been stable even though it is 10 years old.
