I'll still suggest you clear CMOS (and update bios version if there is a new update). Just write whatever OC/custom settings you have down and re-apply once you're stable.

Have you checked if your mobo has a BIOS version update with fixes related to your issues?

Clearing CMOS just resets BIOS to factory settings. If you haven't done any tinkering, then this has no downsides.

But before doing that, I'd do what @oursin_360 suggested and isolate the issue.

1. Remove GPU
2. Run a CPU stress test (e.g. prime95 for 30 min. should do); monitor temps while this is running (abort if it gets too hot)
3. If it passes, great, issue is not your CPU
   1. In this case, the root cause is likely the GPU or PSU
4. If it fails (or temps get too high), try clearing CMOS and retrying the stress test
   1. If it fails due to temperature issues - cooling issue
   2. If it fails otherwise - CPU issue

I guess faulty memory shouldn't be ruled out either. Try running a memtest to rule that out.

It doesn't sound like a bottleneck or GPU issue to me. I'd say PSU or bios settings got messed up, did you ever do an overclock on your CPU? Could try clearing CMOS.

Great news! Nier was the only reason I was considering a PS4, but now I don't have to! :)

Angry... because I live in a city, and dealing with an influx of adults staring at their phones, walking slow, and blocking sidewalks to the point where I have to walk on the road is annoying.

If they left it to rural/suburban areas and parks, I wouldn't mind. But in a city, it is a nuisance and danger to everyone.

+ what @darkaileron said

SL70+ = +10 weapon
SL40 = ?

I have a SL40 character (that I plan keeping there), currently at +0 for weapons. There are a few summons, but thinking I can get more if I bump up my weapon a bit. Has anyone else played at this SL range before and have some input?

Feel free to mention other ranges and their relative levels of activity. Should be helpful for those that are playing at the lower levels.

Anyone up for fighting Dancer? Trying to fight at SL40/+0. PC
