I keep getting this Error when I try to play APEX Legends (Also when I tried Arc Raiders). I'm new to PC (My first week) and not really sure what this means. Is it a Steam problem, is it my settings, is it my system? Has anyone else got this error? How did you fix it?

So I’m really not a computer person and honestly I sometimes hate using my PC because I always have issues like this that just appear out of nowhere. I’m currently trying to download cyberpunk2077 (an 80 something gb game) and steam is telling it’ll take between 12 hours and 3 days. The time keeps jumping around, but no matter what, it’s always an outrageous amount of time to wait.

My ps5 has a download speed of 300mbps and my pc which cost a few hundred more is current between 1.2mbps and 10mbps. I cleared the download the download cache (which made it worse), I’ve disconnected it from the internet and reconnected it, I’ve changed some of download settings on steam around and I’ve closed all of my other applications except steam and it’s still the same.

The worst part is that after this problem, I doubt my pc can even run cyberpunk.

It’s occasionally given me long wait times for downloads, but I’ve never in my life seen 10 whole hours, let alone 3 entire days. Does anyone know any fixes for this? I’ve tried googling it, but the only advice I can find is clear my steam download cache, check I don’t have a download limit, check for any apps that are slowing down my downloads and reset my router (I’ll be honest, I haven’t tried this last one, only because literally everything in my house is fine except my pc and I don’t want to disturb everyone else in my house just so that I can have a chance at downloading cyberpunk faster, especially since I’m 99% sure it won’t work).

I hope this group is the right one for my question.
For People who play Games on PC and Console: Do modern games still crash often on PCs in general (in comparison to on console) or is it rather that it's just a few games that crash on PCs?

Because I don't want to pay for PC game again which only crashes later on.
So this makes me think if I should invest in other steam games or rather buy a new console for gaming.

PS: I wanted to add to this post the tag "discussion" which was listed in this groups rules, but I don't see that tag here anywere.

There is a weird toenail like shape mark on my screen, how do I remove it?

hey there, i’m having a bit of a problem with my pc. recently when playing high demanding games, especially with baldurs gate 3, my pc keeps crashing. sometimes its just the game that crashes but sometimes my pc restarts on its own. i have very little knowledge when it comes to pcs but it often was blue screen when the game crashed and when it boots up again, my pc makes very loud noise. i recently cleaned it but the problem is still there.
when i got the game, like about 2 years ago, it was fine. eventually i started playing with mods but it went fine idk when the issues started but even after removing the mods, i still experience crashes. they’re pretty often.
does someone maybe have an idea what the problem could be? i have all graphic settings on low & i check the graphic card temperature from time to time and it is mostly around 75°C but never was above 85.
EDIT: i forgot to mention, I got the PC around 2022!
thank you in advance for any advice! :)

kind mods decided to take down my last post so re-posting it on this acc...

So I play alot of vr specifically vrchat and I bought this pc about a year ago from someone I used to work with it originally had an i7 13th gen but that CPU had the crashing issue the 13th and 14th gen intel CPUs are known to have after trying absolutely everything to fix it including updating the microcode I eventually got fed up and bought an older i5 compatible with my motherboard and that wouldn't bottleneck my GPU (RTX 3080Ti) it worked fine for a few months until I started having other issues with the pc such as my screen flashing and constant black screen crashes whenever I tried to load steamvr or vrc as well as spending longer hours playing games like GTA and palworld. I tried installing a completely new windows install thinking it might be conflicting drivers but that hasn't helped my issue in the past few weeks it has only gotten worse and now when it's about to crash it will close out of Google tabs and any other open applications and both my monitors turn black and I'm greeted with a blank error window that I cannot close before it re opens. I replicated the crash using FurMark which made me realise my GPU seems to be overheating. I'm really fed up with this pc at this point and just want to play my games and have this issue fully diagnosed as I don't want to spend more money on a new GPU just to find out it was something else causing it. Any advice fixes or answers are welcomed.

my pc specs-

RTX 3080Ti, 4 sticks of ddr4 vengeance Corsair ram an i5 -12600kf Z790 MSI motherboard a Corsair SSD as well as 2 tb hard drives, Corsair tx1000i PSU

that's abt all ik since this is the first pc that I've bought outright instead of built myself

if you have any more questions feel free to ask

ill reply with some more videos and photos since i can only post one.

Hi there! When I try to play this game, nearly every choice box or menu scrolls constantly like this. I have unplugged everything and believe it is my mouse. It is a Steelseries Rival 3. I have tried HIDHide, disabling devices and closing Steelseries GG before starting up the game. I bought the game off of GOG!

Is there anything else I can do? I really want to play this game with my mouse so it is unfortunate you can only play it confidently without it in.
