i5-3570K CPU @3.40GHz 3rd generation "Ivy Bridge"
Intel HD Graphics 4000
8 GB DDR3-1600 ram
750w PSU
Asus P8Z77-V motherboard
PCI-e 3.0 X16 expansion slot on MB

I assembled this computer for my mom 4 years ago. Time really does fly. The 750 W PSU is a lot more than I needed, but I always planned on adding a nice graphics card at a later date.

She started having problems with it recently. It would shut down unexpectedly, and then go into a boot loop. I traded computers with her a couple of weeks ago so that I could troubleshoot the problem. The problem does not happen very frequently. I just switched the PSU with another computer to see if that was the problem. I am still waiting for either computer to have a problem. It is possible that the problem was a loose connection?

I was using Vsync in GEM and triple buffering in Radeon settings. Now I'm using Vsync but no triple buffering.

In Radeon settings, I had a problem with the "wait for vertical refresh" setting. Once I set that to "on, unless application specifies" eliminated my last tearing problems.

Try various combinations of those 3 settings.

Btw, where have you been on Friday Walter? I've noticed you and DaveC's absence.

Hi Greg, thanks for the advice. The Intel graphics options are very limited. I am able to toggle vsync. I will try various combinations as you and Dave suggest.

As for Fridays, I have not had the free time ever since I became the father of two. I had planned on trying to race once a week, but lately, it has only been once every two weeks. I will join in the Friday fun when time permits. I can not tell you how many races that I intended on racing, but then was not available on the race day! I wish that I had not missed the races at Dundrod.
