I need help my custom built computer is struggling running some games. Please Help

Basham · Apr 9, 2015

Okay so I bought this custom built computer 2 years ago, and I'm having the hardest time running H1Z1... And I don't think I should be having problems. Here are my specs. Some of my buddies think it could be my power supply being too low, they say my computer is putting out too much work and the watts cant keep up.

Also another thing when I try and stream OBS keeps telling me that I'm using 100% of one of my CPUs... Please help!!

600w is enough to power the pc but maybe it doesn't have enough power on a rail to fully power the parts what psu is it in specific and a gtx 660 is good for low-med so try that

If the power supply was struggling, the computer would restart during peak draw. If one of your CPU's is maxed for no reason then it sounds like a software problem... not hardware. Run virus scans and if nothing comes back then just re-format the hard drive and start over fresh to remove the problem. Sometimes it's easier to just re-format rather than trying to find the problem which could take forever.

try checking out this thread:

also, the psu isnt the issue if its a somewhat solid quality psu, you system draw is no where close to 600w. i assume its a corsair cx series, which isnt the best, but it isnt terrible either. would you be able to give a more specific psu identification? just open the case and tell us what it reads

also what are your cpu and gpu temperatures while gaming?

People are too quick to pull the reformat trigger man. It takes more time to reinstall windows with drivers/updates/all the games/software than it does to read an event log and find the faulting application.
