odd stuff

I've been noticing you lately I don't know if the Windows 10 thing where the computer dying thing but when I power down takes maybe 5 minutes maybe 3 to shut off the display shuts off but the light stays on and the fans for a few minutes after shutdown

Ehh, that's not supposed to happen with windows 10 .. *ponders* I'd almost say that something else was hosed, hrmm... I wouldn't think the cpu or ram persay with what you've described, however I'd be more likely to say the mobo or powersupply.. I know others have talked about power issues being a possibility, hrmm... do you have an extra powersupply or can you borrow one perhaps to test with as a way to rule that out?

i have a psu tester i can test the psu this weekend

bought an old style keyboard i will reset the bios later on also

I don't know if I should just upgraded the mobo and cpu so something tells me resetting the bios isn't gonna help and I guess I could spend 600 on upgrade I don't really want to but it sucks not to game

Hey, oughta at least try it first man, testing the power supply and resetting the bios won't take all THAT long... and if it saves you $600, no worries, on that note, if you have to do it, you have to do it and several types of new hardware resecently, the E version of the older stuff, kalby lake, skylake, etc... I'd check and see if you have a microcenter nearby they always have good deals, better then newegg in many cases but you have to buy in the store

yeah gonna try it but i doubt it will give me awnsers i dont think new mexico has any computer stores but ill look into might just land up builfing most of a new system new egg refunded my money instead of replaceing the card it looks like so if i upgradde i have like 800 to work with

Did you send the card back? I assume you did. Maybe the GPU cooler on the 1060 was not seated correctly and when it got hot it throttled down.

I have seen stuff like that happen in the past.

I saw in one of your earlier post that you reformatted the hard drive and started over with a fresh OS install.

I want to confirm that you actually did this.

I do not have the same technical ability with computers as some here. But I have used this web site and the tests performed on my PC are understandable for me to use and I believe give a good idea of where I need to update/fix.

I hope it helps. UserBenchmark: PC Speed Test Tool - Compare Your PC
