Finally discovered the source of my unexplicable problems [WITH IMAGES]
Posted: 28 Jun 2024, 03:26
Hello, firstly I apologize for my English, I'm Brazilian and I'm using Google Translate.
I'm 24 years old and I've been playing FPS since I was 10 years old. I started playing CS 1.6. I have always been a very talented player. I started playing CS:GO in 2015, where I reached the highest rank in Valve matchmaking, and also on the Gamersclub platform that we have in Brazil. At the time when Luminosity Gaming/SK Gaming was the world champion, from time to time I would face players, FalleN, coldzera, etc. in the platform's ranked pro. I even beat coldzera when he was voted the best player in the world. At that time, I didn't have any problems with my PC. The mouse is always very smooth, without any input lag. Always very responsive. In 2018, I stopped playing to focus on college. I couldn't last long without playing, so I bought a new PC two years ago and that's where all the problems started. Input lag, mouse felt bad, had no reaction time, it seemed like everyone gave me prefire. It's funny that the first game I played, I was against gold players, and I was swearing they were cheating. LOL.
I couldn't take it anymore and started looking for what could be, I've done everything, I bought a whole new PC and nothing happened. It was then that I started to see that it could be something related to electricity, I decided to check every part of my house and found the problems. Here in Brazil, the energy leaves the electric company, passes through the street pole, arrives at the house pole and is connected to a meter. When I went to look at the meter, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. The neutral wire was literally fused with the live wire. The most unbelievable thing was that the house's power was working normally, nothing was faulty, except for those strange things with the PC. I immediately called the electrician, he looked at it, and said that this would be resolved by the company without any costs. Below I will leave a photo, the part where there is the black spot was where the short circuit was, they redid everything, changed the meter.
This problem also affected the house's distribution board, as you can see in the image below:
The electrician also needed to fix the panel, he replaced all the damaged wires, put connectors on the end that weren't there before, photo of the repaired panel below:
Detail: this panel has never been opened before, since the house was built 15 years ago, I was the first to open it.
After everything was fixed, my PC instantly became unrecognizable. It's as it was years ago, fully responsive, without input lag and without any strange problems.
If you've done everything and your problem still hasn't been resolved, check your home's electrical system. Attention: please be careful, you could even die from electrocution. Call an electrician to check each part, perhaps it could have something to do with the installation in your house as was my case. Thank you for your attention, if you have any questions, send me a message and I will respond.
