I've got a couple strange problems with my desktop that I'm scrambling to fix before the Vive arrives next week. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Specs
Problem 1: Overclocking GPU
I'm getting the following error when Elite: Dangerous Horizons' Training mission loads:
Here are the settings I used in MSI Afterburner:
I loaded up Unigine's Valley benchmark and saw no artifacting, glitches, or crashes. But as soon as the tutorial loaded in Elite: Dangerous I get either a hard lock OR the fatal error I posted above. Also:
- The new Hitman ran no problem and did not lock or cause a fatal error.
- The Division's main menu screen was not rendering properly though there was also no lock or fatal error.
If the GPU did overheat I don't understand how when I kept the temp limit at 85 in Afterburner.
When I get the fatal error (as opposed to the hard lock) I'm able to close the game and look at Afterburner which shows different settings than I chose: Core Clock and Memory Clock both totally maxed out (Core clock at +47548). Perhaps that is just because the driver crashed so the settings are messed up or maybe it's due to something else, I'm not sure.
Problem 2: USB connection/failure issues
I've been having weird glitches with my USB ports. My Steam Controller sometimes stops functioning, I get a runtime error every time I connect my wireless Xbox One Controller, my USB wi-fi adapter frequently disables itself and I have to re-enable it (or pull it out and put it back in) to get it to connect again, and sometimes my mouse freezes and clicking the mouse buttons makes the internal PC speaker make weird old school beeping sounds.
I should also mention that my last desktop had similar problems with its USB devices. However, that computer'ss mobo fried from static electric charges. Whenever I touched the tower or touched any device connected to the same or a different outlet in the same room, or even touched the windowsill near my computer desk the computer would reboot. My new desktop doesn't seem to react to static electricity but is still having similar USB related problems.
Here are pictures of what I've got hooked up to the front and back of the tower:
A user mentioned that the devices may not be getting enough power and asked if I'm using a non-powered USB hub. I'm not exactly sure how to check that but hopefully the pictures illustrate whether that is the case.
