Hi im hoping for some advice :)) right off the bat ill say i really dont know much about pcs and i have only recently bought one a few months ago which some kind people on here help me put together. I have noticed that it doesnt really seem to be performing how i expected it to but it never really was too much of an issue in the games i was playing but it was definitely not optimal but i just ignored it until recently i was gifted Hogwarts Legacy and my average fps is 14.8fps which is very disappointing, ive done everything to try and boost it to my knowledge im playing on low graphics i have turned vsync on in AMD and turned it the ingame version off as my friend told me that should help and occasionally my pc just crashes (not a lot but enough for me to question) but i dont know what to do!!! please help!!

I take it you’ve optimised settings in the game? Or are you just trying to run at max settings? Hogwarts is really poorly optimised and you’ll need to adjust settings to get it to play.

This is the case with any game really.

If you google the game and “optimised settings” you’ll get recommended adjustments per resolution.

Also, what anti virus are you running? Are all your optional updates installed?

i have i have watched a few youtube videos and optimised my settings to what they said and to the resolution of my monitor with all my graphics settings on low and even adjusted my amd setting to be the optimised settings

I believe im just using windows anti virus at the moment and windows is fully updated as well as all my graphics drivers i also make sure that all background applications are closed when playing

Can you take a screenshot of your optional updates page?

You’ll need to install all those.

Do you have a link to the graphics suggestions you chose?

okay ive downloaded those

for the amd settings it was this:
exputer.com

Best AMD Settings [High FPS & Performance]

This is a complete guide covering all the Best AMD settings you can apply in Radeon Control Panel to boost performance in games.
exputer.com exputer.com

for the game settings it was this except i turned all them down to low when it still wasnt performing:

www.sportskeeda.com

Best Hogwarts Legacy graphics settings for AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT

The RX 6500 XT was launched as an entry-level video card for 1080p gaming with some compromises. The GPU is a direct competitor to the RTX 3050 from Nvidia, albeit much slower and cheaper.

That’s a different gpu and resolution.

But firstly we need to be sure software is setup correctly, if you can upload the following?

Don't Panic! Many people panic when they get a BOSD, partly this is because they happen unexpectedly and because they usually happen without warning, but also because many believe they mean you have a hardware problem. The good news is that in the majority of cases a BSOD is a software problem...

These dumps are quite interesting and they may point in two different directions - although there will be a common cause. Of the five dumps, four are identical and are 0x50 - PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA bugchecks, which means that a page that was supposed to be in RAM (in the non-pageable pool) was not found. The failure bucket blames amdkmdag.sys, your graphics driver...
Code: 
FAILURE_BUCKET_ID:  AV_INVALID_amdkmdag!unknown_function
The 'unknown function' suffix means that a function in the driver (amdkmdag.sys) was called but the function didn't exist. That's often a driver error, the function pointers were corrupted or a genuine unknown function was called. The call stack supports this hypothesis...

Although it's always worth checking for a more recent driver.

However, the fifth dumps suggests that the graphics driver may not be at fault. This dump is a 0x4E - PFN_LIST_CORRUPT bugcheck. The PFN is the Page Frame Number list, the list of pages in RAM...
Code: 
PFN_LIST_CORRUPT (4e)
Typically caused by drivers passing bad memory descriptor lists (ie: calling
MmUnlockPages twice with the same list, etc).  If a kernel debugger is
available get the stack trace.
Arguments:
Arg1: 000000000000008d,
Arg2: 0000000000019860
Arg3: 0000000000410001
Arg4: ffff800840f4afc8
The argument 1 value of 0x8D indicates that the page-free list is corrupted and this is almost always a hardware problem, typically with RAM. The call stack of this dump contains no non-Microsoft drivers and that's another indication of a hardware problem.

You need to test your RAM in the first instance, that's where I suspect the problem lies. You have two choices...
  • Remove one stick of RAM and run on just 16GB for a few days. If it BSODs then swap sticks and run on just the other stick. This is 100% guaranteed to reveal a flaky stick of RAM.
  • Download Memtest86 (free) and use the imageUSB.exe tool extracted from the download to make a bootable USB drive containing Memtest86 (1GB is plenty big enough). If you can, do this on a different PC because we can't fully trust yours. Then, on your PC, boot this USB drive. Memtest86 will start running as soon as it boots, if no errors are found after the four iterations of the 13 different tests that the free version does, then restart Memtes86 and do another four iterations. This will find about 95% of potential RAM problems.
Let us know how the RAM testing goes.
