Frequent dcs from game

The pc I use has frequently dc’d. I wonder if it just needs a more powerful psu, since it hasn’t been changed for years and is like 400W or something on a machine with a 8 core processor. Just wondering if anyone can advise on this: on whether this is likely the problem, that is. By the way, I might have killed the pc when I played TERA rising many years ago and started to smell a burning smell maybe coming from the pc :eyes:

Computer’s definitely shouldn’t make a burning smell!

We can check to see if there’s any issues though, please upload your system files to pastebin.com and reply with the links to the files using the preformatted text option to encapsulate the links.

Ok thanks.

Just to clarify, the PC doesn’t make a burning smell now - if it was the pc at all, it only happened when I played TERA rising many years ago.

Here is the DXDiag file you requested:

The MSInfo is 5691 KB and pastebin only allows files of 500KB so couldn’t do that one.

I think someone in the past said there were a lot of error report files, in case that helps.

Just checking over the file you submitted, you should update your Graphics Drivers, they are over 6 months out of date.

You may also want to see if reducing the ingame graphics to minimum prevents the DCs.

You can remove the Error reports from the MSINFO and that will allow us to check over the system information. Also the latest errors may be useful to us so if they’re not too big you could maybe attach them in a new pastebin link.

Thanks. I know the graphics driver needs updating: just haven’t bothered to do it, but this problem has been around for a lot longer than 6 months.

Pretty sure I already tried reducing the graphics to minimum.

Here is the MSInfo with the error reports removed:

Here are the last 540 KB of error reports:

Not sure why it allowed a 540 KB paste when it previously said max allowable file size was 500 KB but there it is.
