Why is His PC Constantly CRASHING?!

[@MinecraftGamerLR]

Hey guys, Logan here. I'm seeing so many comments regarding how old my PC is, and for context, we don't have the money for a huge $1000/$2000 PC, so I got it from someone who builds PCs out of passion. He didn't seem to have much money either, but it was enough to make me happy at the time. I've also seen comments regarding the upgrades at the end. I definitely did not expect him to upgrade it for no extra cost, and I am still super thankful for Danny because of it. Fantastic video!

[@Roman00744]

Congrats for the upgrade, it will serve you well for a few more years. Don't listen to the elitist and enjoy what you have.

[@cael_1303]

As long as it works for you is all that matters. Was cool seeing how it all turned out.

[@DCeeper]

Hey man, as long as that machine can help u play the games u want and have fun that's all that matters

[@MinecraftGamerLR]

It's still holding up and doing fantastic so far, and I haven't really seen any issues at all.

[@jess2690]

Dont pay attention to some of those comments. For some, they think everyone needs an i9 and 4090, which is.. insane. Your happiness with the PC is the only that matters when it comes to your PC, not these other buttheads.

So many people can't afford a good computer let alone any computer. That upgrade was great for him. He was happy with a 7870 he will be over the moon on a 580. Great job. Most of the computing world doesn't use newer hardware and are perfectly happy. Its other people unhappiness that brings hate comments.

[@FergaliciousFergyFerg]

This kid seems pretty genuine. his immediate response was: "do you want anything in return?". Glad you were able/willing to help him out.

[@knightfall-1]

i wasnt sure about your channel but after this good onya i reckon that was very nice of you to upgrade the kids comp you can see he has min money and the rx 580 imo is 1 of the best budget cards around. top marks to you. and to top it off you left him the peel very nice

[@b0ne91]

When you said blender crashed and he described the gradual problems, my instant thought was either broken RAM or anything related to it (motherboard lanes, memory controller). Now those GCN cards are amazing, but a lot of them eventually had cracked solder joints from heat cycling and thermal paste just not keeping up. But the well kept runs are still chugging along well over a decade later.

[@murraystechtime8530]

Great video, great troubleshooting and I was suprised you up graded his system so much. I thought you were going to just replace the same graphics card with the one you tested with. When you did the rewind on the video I figured you were going to do something. Thank you for ugrading his system so much, a big thunbs up from me while watching the video at that time. You are a great and kind humanbeing, I wish there were more people like you out there, you are one of the good ones. I Subed a long time ago and you have always been great, keep up the awesome work.

[@GraviQuate]

@@scaredbtw3666 i mean he's not a very big youtuber i doubt he rakes in that much money, and an rx 580 is still very respectable today. u don't need 2k worth of parts for school and some gaming, and smth like an rtx 4080 would probably jus get bottlenecked by the 3rd gen i7 anyways. enthusiast parts are for the enthusiasts that has the money for it

[@Dave-du1ge]

Awesome video. Love it!

[@Lurch-Bot]

GPU is getting worn out and can't handle the unstable power from the cheap PSU. You nailed it. In fact, it is probable that dirty power from the cheap PSU is why the GPU is degrading in the first place. An RX580 may not seem impressive to a PC snob but when you look at it from a statistical standpoint, you doubled his rasterization performance and quadrupled his VRAM. You opened up the door for him to play some AAA titles that were released in this decade, something a 7870 won't do because of the DX feature level.

I know why it crashing with old power supply and on ups not. Logan if you read test it if you can, i did have a same problem, it is in wall outlet then power suppy, i did have a fauty power outlet that i found now after 15 yrs., i am from Europe so i dunno if you have ground in electicity wires in houses, so problem is when ground is not there or electr. power installation is myb faulty now, then it damage you're PSU and UPS filtered a lot of power for it to work, power from power plant is filtered from them(power plant) and not in you're household Ups have a battery that filter power to supply, so it doesn't work in house power outlet good and it myb worn out wires in the wall of house. i changeg psu from 2010 with same problems 2 times, 15 yr later i found that power outlet was faulty and gorund was not connected long time ago. After 2015 pc crashed same, changed again power suppy with 80gold 750w, after 3 years from now, and my pc is crashing again now!, i have Ryzen 5 5500 and rtx 3050, so it doesn't take a lot of power and it is not spaceship of pc in preformance. Now i know it is the power outlet in the house is bad, that you're pluggin in pc or power extension cabel is bad and you need to replace it if you wanna be safe from crashing any time soon!

[@Call_MeJD]

You earned a sub from me. This was a good video from beginning to end. I almost gave you criticism for giving him his old pc back, but we got me good and that was so awesome of you to do! W's to you! Also, I appreciate that you went into the event viewer to see if you could diagnose what cause the PC to crash. I'm not familiar with event viewer and I have a AM4 motherboard with a 5800X that randomly resets while livestreaming...I'm not joking. I can do anything else on that PC with no problem, but once I livestream, that's when it will randomly restart. It doesn't happen every time, but it happened enough times that I upgraded to AM5 with a 9700x.

[@nightblood9462]

I don’t like when companies driver and software stopped supporting old hardware I guess it gets slower and worse and ended up getting crashes this probably has happened to him. This machine is kinda old and starting to crash when gaming on it. He had it for 2 years and ended up crashing within a year later idk When machine gets old then it crashes. I had an old computer that does crash but not a lot. I have fixed it and it stopped crashes

[@BlenderRookie]

My guess is the GPU needed to be reseated. I have run into that issue several times. I have also run into an issue with system memory not working correctly and it be something as simple as they need reseated or the CPU cooler is screwed down too tight. Just in the last day or two I had all 4 ram sticks in a secondary rendering machine and while task manager and the bios recognized all 4 sticks, only two of the ram sticks was being used. It turns out that two of the ram sticks because they were sitting outside the machine for a year, the traces had just enough oxidation that prevented all the traces from making proper contact with the ram slot. I couldn't see the oxidation with my eye but under a magnifying glass I could. I just used a piece of 300 grit sandpaper and lightly ran it across the traces once or twice and then wiped it off with a clean cloth. Suddenly the issue is gone. I have had the same issue with GPUs that have been sitting outside a machine without the little plastic cover that goes over the connector.

Ultra power supplies were tiger direct house brand. Probably just a old power supply

[@nerdonabudget]

Yup that's what I found when digging deeper into the brand! I actually had a segment where I talked about that but cut it out due to the video being so long already 😣 a lot was actually cut out of this video because I actually worked on this system over the course of 3 days, testing and doing every single thing I could think of. The first rough cut of this video was 2 hrs long which would do horribly on KZbin, so I kept cutting a bunch of stuff that didn't necessarily add value to showing why his PC was crashing how I came up with my diagnosis of the root problem

A nice upgrade but i think the 3770 is going to be a bit of a bottleneck for the RX580. Maybe he could try find some cheap used 6th or 7th gen intel platform to upgrade to. That would be a more appropriate pairing for the RX580. 🙂

[@moparjr89]

he could not really scrap together 20 for a 960 so it will probably be a long while before he can upgrade the rest. it may be dated but it should work decent enough for him to enjoy some games. something like a ryzenn 3600 would be far better and pretty affordable compared to 6th or 7th gen intel hell even first gen ryzen would be better then those old intel chips. i went from a 6600k to a 1700x and it was a massive difference

[@accelgamerhd4954]

Going to make my guess for the problem. I'm at 19:57 . My guess is bad hdmi port. Maybe psu with his gpu interacts in a weird way with power delivery. My last one i can think of is gpu thermal paste. Ok let's see if i am right.

[@accelgamerhd4954]

Eyy so my second guess is correct. Yea the i thought this is because it's only when his psu and gpu are paired that it causes the crashing but not separately. My first guess would be the psu as well then the gpu. I don't know what kind of games he plays but he might want to start looking for an upgrade or a pre built.

[@accelgamerhd4954]

Yea i was expecting you to give him back his pc as is because you identified the problem and you just needed to tell him what to replace. But you have a good heart and didn't stop there. Forget the hate comments about if you gave away a good or bad component. The goal here was to get him up and running without drastically changing to many stuff. You actually made is his pc look new with few changes. That's a 10/10 in my book. Good on you for helping out a viewer.

[@Viking8888]

After the mem test, I was wondering if it was the PSU and GPU together because I recently had the exact same issue with a fairly new Seasonic 850w PSU and a 51Risc RX 590 GME graphics card. The GPU was in the system with the Seasonic PSU for about a month when the graphics driver kept crashing over and over. Never thought the PSU was part of the problem, but when the GPU was installed in a different system, it worked fine. When the PSU was replaced, the PC worked fine. So bizarre. First time I've ever had that issue in the 25 years of PC teching!

[@Lurch_92]

[@sqwikken7776]

Thank you, Danny, for this video! I genuinely appreciate the twist, definitely didn't see it coming, and it made me feel so good that you did it. I also agree with the idea that your UPS was cleaning up power delivery to the system for the initial troubleshooting attempts. I would recommend using it in the future when testing systems at home.

[@LeadFarmer813]

the video card likely has lower ohm mosfets from age.. measure ohms on the 12V plugs. or a volt regulator going bad on the video card and Lame Sucky Power PSU is unable to give it smooth ripple free power due to caps dry from age. (test w oscilloscope i guess) so yes you are right on the diag.

While watching the testing, I thought by what different things were happening, that maybe originally, his graphics card might not have been seeded exactly perfect and caused these crashes. So when you took it out and tested another one (and even HIS in another build) and there were no problems... it would be because we know Danny seated them perfectly. Just a thought!

This was such a solid video. I think us as gamers and always having the latest tech crammed down our throats taints our views of something like this. Logan prior to this had a barely functioning pc with a power supply on its last leg and graphics card with 2gb of video memory that was likely on its last leg. These simple parts upgrades not only stabilized the system but also allows him with the faster card with more memory to play better games too.
