its pretty good, I never have to adjust it for games. the 165hz i do because the backlight is so bright, i had to manually dim it. I notice because they are side by side. its also superior to my daughters S2721DGF.

I was on 16gb for the longest and only recently went up to 32gb, lol. I barely notice a difference if I'm being honest. Most people won't.

The one between three and three.
Install Core Temp. Your processor may be overheating and you're going into thermal shutdown.
Core Temp
Core Temp is a compact, no fuss, small footprint, yet powerful program to monitor processor temperature and other vital information.

My old Inspiron 11z would shut off randomly, but usually when I was doing something that involved video. It wasn't until I installed Core Temp that I found out the processor was hitting 95-100C and once it got it that range it would shut down. I set Core Temp to always display in the taskbar so I could keep an eye on the processor temp and set it to flash a warning once it hit 80 or 90C.

How long have you had the computer, and have you ever changed the paste since you've got it?
Eh
I've been in this house maybe 4 years?
I know I've swapped out the fan a couple years ago to help with the temperature issue. I know I did a chip reset at that time. So maybe 3 years?

It's time.
If I'm reading that right, you've got some dead cores? And that temp seems abnormally low, idk. I could be wrong. I'll wait for the others to chip in.

So I was looking it up, and apparently that's a known thing with FX cpus.
That being said, you should still prob upgrade. It's over 10 years since it came out.
Found this video that shows you how to unlock all the cores in Windows.
Haven't had an issue with crashing since, in fact, I put it on sleep and I guess something woke it up in the middle of the night cause it was on when I went into the room
I also had it on while I was gaming on the other PC and no issues
Will still eventually upgrade but looks like it's been resolved for now
