I'm having some rather strange issues with my PC lately, and for the life of me, I cannot diagnose them/it and I've tried a host of things to fix, which has led me to admit defeat and turn here to seek help...
1st of, we'll go over my specs:
12700KF, Strix-A Z690 Mobo, 32GB RAM (2x16GB), 750W Phanteks SFX PSU, 6950XT MBA, 280mm EK Elite AiO, 1TB 980 Pro, 2x1Tb SX8200 RAID0.
Acer X35 Predator + 2x 24" 144hz 1080p displays.
GMMK Pro Keyboard, Razer Viper Ultimate Mouse/Glorious Model I.
Decent XLR Microphone, Fostex Studio Speakers + FiiO AMP/DAC
So. Issues...
AMD Drivers crashing every single day lately, I've tried on latest Beta drivers, on known stable release also. Neither of the 4 or 5 drivers I've used seems to last longer than a day or 2 before constantly crashing. But this isn't my only issue...
Another issue is streaming... When I TRY and stream, I use OBS. When using this, and monitoring my software, I get error messages saying my encoding is overloaded when running it on my 12700KF... I'm pretty sure this shouldn't be occurring. I've yet to try encoding the stream on my 6950XT though. This results in around 2 or 3 seconds of smooth streaming and a second or so of "buffering" but not network buffering...
One more issue... When gaming, I keep getting the USB disconnect/reconnect sounds randomly... Nothing actually changes though, everything still seems to work fine? However, I run games on maximised window mode, and when I try and type in Discord there is MASSIVE input lag and Chrome also starts lagging big time. Sometimes this extends temporarily in game too, EG pressing W to move forward and I'll move for a while before stopping with just 1 press of W. The keyboard issues mainly show after the drivers crash...
I've also tried using an old Ducky keyboard, but this still happens. The Glorious Core software won't detect my Model I nor my GMMK Pro to change settings like polling rate etc, but this is a known issue with the naff Glorious Core Software.
I've also tried sfc /scannow and that's not picked up anything.
I've DDU'd my graphics drivers, and that gained me stability for most of today, but then I kept getting random crashes anyway. Never a hard-crash, just a screen refresh and AMD pop-up. But the keyboard issues mainly show when the drivers crash... So I'm thinking it corresponds to it somehow? I've tried different USB ports for different peripherals, tried no overclock on GPU/CPU, tried no XMP too. Updated all drivers also. I've tried with HDR turned off and also with it turned on for the X35. Tried setting everything to 60hz refresh too... Everything has the same effect...
I honestly have no idea what to do next bar a full Windows 11 re-install, which I really don't want to do as I have a lot of data on my Windows M.2...
