Windows 11 Pro 22H2 (Build 22621.1413)
I'm in the middle of trying to figure out if I need a new GPU. Division 2 is now a complete crash fest. Even reinstalling the OS a few times, haven't solved a hard lock issue.

Just reinstalled my dedicated SoundBlaster ZxR card as I'm also starting to get signal dropouts from the on-board card. Hoping that's the issue as opposed to a dying GPU :unsure:

:mad: No matter what I do Division 2 continues to hard lock my system after 10 minutes play. I can now definitely tell when it's about to happen as the game starts mico-stuttering just before said hard crash.

Never had an issue with the game until about 2 months ago. Now suddenly it's completely unplayable. And what sucks is they just (yesterday) released the new manhunt season... a season I currently can't play :mad:

Oh, well, time to move on...

4 years. I bought in 2019 new - Radeon VII - Windows 10 Help Forums

Anyway, I'm not so sure it is the GPU now, as ONLY Division 2 behaves badly. Still troubleshooting though.

I see.
I just asked because it could be throttling due to temp. I was about to suggest to do a re-paste.
Already did that last week. Was going to post about it but seeing it didn't solve my issue it now seems meaningless. But yeah, took it apart and repasted and replaced Thermopads. Didn't help. Anyway, I'm still assessing stuff so, not so sure it's GPU now.

Talk to you guys later.

My buddy just dropped this off ( still in original packaging). I know he said $500, but I gave him $600 anyway out of his $700 original offer. He is a good guy. I owed him once.

Congrats (y)

Let us know how it works out once you set it up.
Yup. I will.
It sees my NAS right away without having to look for it. I just connected to wifi so far. The Home Hub 3000 is my main modem with multimedia USB port. I can probably attach a USB drive there and it will see all the media files.

Just a tip, but you might visit Marantz's site and download the owner's manual for that unit. Never know when you might need it. Though I've physical copies of manuals, I also love having an electronic copy as well ;-)

Anyway, enjoy. In the meantime, I'm just finishing off installing all my apps and programs after yet another clean install.

You don't have a clean image backup?

I always do, but in this case, I want a clean slate. An image is just a copy of the old setup.

The point is I do have a Macrium image, but it's obviously of the old problematic system. I also don't keep "fresh install" images because by the time I need them they're old. YMMV ;-)

How's it sound? What's the connection setup?
For now, I just ignored the "Inputs" and connected the Marantz directly into the analog input of YU6 speaker so that I can test all the other functionalities. The sub is still connected to the YU6. With this setup, it is like I just added more input options to my YU6 speaker.

1677797896887.png

Listening to my Pearl Jam CD, the soundstage is really different. Sometimes I turn my head into some details that I have not heard before as if I was in the middle of it. The bass is cleaner and "wider" and not annoyingly punchy. The vocals are more detailed. I am sure you know what I mean.
I really like the NAS integration and that I can save my favorite TuneIn internet radio stations. I don't need the FM/AM tuners. The internet radio function takes care of it.
Spotify integration is also seamless and work well with Google and Alexa voice command.

There's still so much to know. Found an online manual here.
