Gaming PC: Why am I getting CPU temp error and uncorrectable error

Thu, 06 Nov 2025 03:53:10 -0700

My Pc has recently started overheating and rebooting with a uncorrectable error and cpu temp error. This wasn’t happening until I went to update my bios due to a game requiring me to so I could play. When I updated my bios I didn’t realize I downloaded a beta first but then proceeded to downgrade to a more stable one. I have added fans into my case, installed a new cpu fan but it continues to idle in bios at 70°. When I try to run anything it immediately shoots up to 90°

Gaming PC: Pc keeps crashing and I have tried everything

Wed, 05 Nov 2025 11:40:54 -0700

my pc keeps crashing, getting blue screens of death, random shut off of the game or turned off completely. HOWEVER, THIS ONLY HAPPENS UNDER LOAD OR WHEN PLAYING A GAME I also get corrupted windows and files of that sort. EX, cannot run safe mode to try and du to clean reinstall drivers. Something wrong with the error, I have redownloaded windows entirely twice, full clean reinstall

I have tried to measure cpu temps and gpu temps, both operate within range, pu gets as high as 80-85 egrees celsius, high not enough for it to crash/thermal throttle. gpu sits comfortably at 50 degrees.

Not the issue at hand for the two of then

so as my next test I thought it was the ram, i ran a couple of tests in the software, reseated it anc cried again. Kept crashing, do not think it is the ram.

I then downloaded disk manager info to se the SSD health and it seems to be completely fine. 97% healthy

Update: I then bought a new psu to troubleshoot but thr pc still crashed, i bought two sticks of ram and it still crashed but not turning off fully but rather the game simply closes now. I have no idea what to do

Gaming PC: I turn my pc on and everything seems fine but then the gpu turns off

Gaming PC: Why is the internet so bad on my pc only

Tue, 05 Aug 2025 16:58:00 -0700

I bought a new pc about a month ago and the wifi has been bad on it ever since i got it, it can barely load videos on 144p, and cant run discord vcs. Ive had a laptop for some years now and have never encountered this before ive done these things on plenty of other devices with no issues but on the pc. I did a fresh install of windows, and upated drivers but nothing seems to fix the issue.
