Hello, I was thinking of upgrading my old computer and build a brand new one; looking for a durable build that can last some time without changing all the parts every year. Budget would be around 1000 €, maybe a little bit more if needed.

It will be used mainly for gaming, specially TF2 but also some other upcoming games (I don't need to run all the modern games at ultra high settings with everything enabled, as long as they work fine on medium - high it's ok).

Don't think I can scavenge a lot of the old parts, maybe just the HDD. I'll be reusing all the peripherals for now tho, at least until I have more money. About OC; I was thinking of start testing with it eventually but so far I don't have enough experience yet.

Any help appreciated :)

+1, specially if you like heavy metal

Yes it's definitely the GPU, I had no more errors since I started using the integrated graphics a couple days ago. I was using a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660, pretty old but it worked fine until now.

Thanks for all the suggestions :), actually I was thinking of upgrading CPU and MOBO (maybe even RAM if I had enough money); so I'll probably wait a little bit before buying a new GPU.

Ye I know, the full bind is 'hud_reloadscheme; snd_restart; record demo; stop'.

Well I ran both mdsched and memtest and RAM is fine. All the CPU speeds and temps were also fine so I focus the testing on the GPU.

I disconnected and used the integrated graphics for a bit and I had no further problems so it's definitely a graphic card problem. Still, don't know if its an inside GPU hardware problem or maybe a driver issue. Any thoughts?

4Head Hey Europoops, who built the statue of liberty? NOT YOU EleGiggle STAY POOR EU EleGiggle

Hmmm ye I noticed that the problem happened at the same time I pressed the hud_reloadscheme bind (I use it for getting rid of the annoying invisible players bug lol); I'll test to see if it happens every time I pressed it or not.

I will keep an eye out on them, althought I don't have anything OC.

Hiya.

So, I've been having issues with my pc for the last two or three days. Sometimes, the images and sound on the screen stop for a couple of seconds and the pc is unresponsive (sorry about the shitty explanation, here's a video with the issue: https://youtu.be/F-pPRr2vPQU).

This happens usually while playing TF2 but it can also happen randomly while using the computer normally (although much less frequently). Also, after the problem happens the computer starts to work extremely slow and I usually have to do a hard reset. It is worth mentioning that in the event viewer theres a shitload of nvlddmkm errors at the same time.

All the drivers are up to date, and rolling them back to the last ones solved nothing. Also I run antivirus every week. No heat problems either, every component works fine AFAIK.

AFAIK they always upload the videos privately and then make them public when the update really hits.

Also, holy hype.
