It's about time that his GPU finally fries, it'll be hilarious to see him throw his hands in the air and just buy a whole new PC for no good reason.

To be honest, it could also mean that his both screens are fucked up. But in either case would be weird for GPU to fry or screens getting fucked up due to restarting, but it's a possibility if he doesn't use a screensaver. In the end, instead of having everything being on 24/7 maybe he should have used Sleep Mode?

Its his gpu on its way out. I had mine do that and it was VERY temperamental to use. Died for good after another 3 days. I had to upgrade anyway so it was fine with me. But Dave? Gonna need another fan to build one, donate and then get shat on for not doing a good enough job

Mine did the exact same thing also, kept losing display then coming back. Week later just displayed garbage on the screen.

If it is his GPU he is so gonna try and beg his fans for money to buy some shit like a 1080ti even when he doesn't play PC games that would need it. He could make do with a 1050, but we all know he will want the best.

If the GPU was fucked the integrated graphics of his CPU should pick up the slack. I'm guessing the monitors are gimped since he doesn't see anything on the screen.

Regardless, expert computer assembler Dave will, no doubt, give us the answer before long.

His CPU, the i7 4930K doesn't have integrated graphics.

Wow, I was going to call fake news, but you're right. I didn't even know Intel released i7s without integrated graphics.

I don't think it matters.

Doesn't he record/upload on his desktop PC? The GPU probably provides hardware acceleration for encoding.
I don't think he'll be able to run the capture software on an integrated GPU. He certainly won't be able to run video editing software (lol)

Anyway leaving your computer running 24/7 largely doesn't matter at all. Its not at all like a console where this would be an issue. If anything the repeated turning on/off stresses parts more than just leaving it running. It might shorten life by a small amount but its nothing dramatic.

If any of the parts are generic then you might run into issues, but those issues would happen whether you left it running 24/7 or not.

What does matter is a build up of dust/corrosion and I doubt DSP has cleaned out that fucker since he bought it.

But in DSP's world its not "dust" its "light crystals":

"What you see is not dust, it's light crystals" Was something he managed to say when the sun was shining through his window, and hitting the dust particles in his "office"

So hopefully his PC hasn't had a build up of "light crystals" over time.

I can see his bought his famous "Lemon PC" in July 2014 which means its 4 years old.
After 4 years of continued use you can expect to reach end of life for these parts:

• hard drives
• power supply
  
• graphics card

Not "end of life" as in "throw it in the trash its fucked" but more as in "these parts are more likely to fail as time passes". Especially when the user doesn't clean or maintain them.

Other reasons for blank displays can be for a variety of reasons.

His issue isn't having a fault. His issue is probably not having access to someone who he is "friends" with who could look at the computer in person and diagnose it.

If he can't diagnose it then he'll have to buy an entirely new PC which he'll probably end up doing.

Anyway, good to see he puts lots of money "into the business" and his main daily-use PC is 4 years old with no fucking maintenance lol.

Wow, I was going to call fake news, but you're right. I didn't even know Intel released i7s without integrated graphics.

It was only limited to the top tier LGA2011 K and X series ones, the socket LGA11XX CPUs had some form of the Intel HD/Iris graphics built in.

 

[DarkSoulsPhil]

I love that hes going to read this, understand whats wrong and then beg for a new comp.

We did his work for him in figuring out what is wrong. now its up to him to beg for the money

Well it sounds like he got it working again but I'm sure it'll happen again soon.

Anyway its very easy to speculate about what the issue might be but even if you have the best PC builder in the world telling you what might be wrong, it still requires "someone" actually going in the case and fucking around with shit.

DSP takes 30 minutes to make instant noodles, so I don't think he should be fiddling around with temperamental computer parts tbh.

If it is his GPU I also doubt he will just swap that out for another GPU and beg that he needs an entire new PC. All he would need to fix his possibly failing 780ti is a $150 GTX 1050 and 15 minutes of his time.

OBS uses CPU to encode/transcode video. He'll be fine without a GPU.

But in DSP's world its not "dust" its "light crystals":

Did he really say this? Does he just say so much stupid stuff nobody else heard him say this? What the fuck is a light crystal. Why does he so self-conscious about dust that he'd rather call them light crystals instead of dusting? This is so weird.

 

[FallGout]

OBS uses CPU to encode/transcode video. He'll be fine without a GPU.

On his desktop he needs a GPU though, without one he won't get any video out to the monitors lol.

 

[Wurstbrot]

In the end, instead of having everything being on 24/7 maybe he should have used Sleep Mode?

But he needs to run his PC 24/7, which wastes electricity, just in case he get locked out from a website so he stays locked in. Phil used the street smartness of his.

And now please raise your hand if you ever got locked out from a website while using it. What? Everyone? Oh jeez, sounds like he's talking bull.

 

[Clop]

Four years..

I'm sure he's smart enough to have cleaned the dust out of his computer at least once every 1-2 months. Surely the self-proclaimed "built mah own PC when I was uh teenager" would do basic maintenance to make sure his shit doesn't blow the magic smoke.

Anyway it doesn't really matter because he doesn't even have integrated graphics.

Basically if your computer uses CPU to encode video then you're probably not doing it right tbh. Not all applications support it though.

On his desktop he needs a GPU though, without one he won't get any video out to the monitors lol.

I'm not intimately familiar with OBS or some of these programs but there are instances where you won't be able to monitor video without GPU acceleration.

I'm not familiar with OBS either all I know is that since DSP's current CPU has no integrated graphics when his GPU dies all he will get is blank screens until he replaces his dedicated GPU. As far as I'm aware he uses his desktop to stream/record so it's going to be hilarious if his GPU dies out of nowhere on him.
