Rumplestiltskin

I had many BSOD's because my CPU heatsink was full of dust and was tapping out for safety. Suggest having a look and cleanout of the pc, fans, components with a good vacuum or compressed air

Hello all, I have a puzzling issue and have been troubleshooting since last Sunday, attempting to fix it. I recently upgraded my system and invested in an MSI 2070 SUPER Trio X Gaming. My rig, at the time, was as follows: Wni 7 64bit AMD-8350FX (Small OC 4.3Ghz) ASUS Sabertooth 990FX R2 Kingston Fury 16GB MSI GAMING R9 290 4G (Twin Frozer) EVGA 750W G2 PSU Crucial SSD 256 (OS Install) Crucial SSD 1TB Storage Mechanial Seagate. Monitor BENQ XL2411Z Now I appreciate throwing a beefy card into this rig wouldnt have been the smoothest upgrade due to it being old tech and potentially bottlenecking from the old, but reliable CPU. However I planned to upgrade later anyway and wanted something to tie me over and make Warzone/ Kingdom Deliverence look a bit sweeter until that time. It all worked as planned for around an evening and a morning. Intalled the latest drivers, loaded COD and got some sweeter visuals (amazing how much more accurate you can be with a clear display!). Performance certainly dropped as I continued (stuttering and the like, but I put it down to the CPU trying to keep up with this younger and beefy GPU buck) - I didnt have time to think much about it because the card stopped working. I couldnt get any game to load and as I delved deeper, it came out I was needing and missing a "USB Type-C Port Policy Controller Driver", which I discovered after heading to the Nvidia Forums. Turns out, or so I concluded that this type of driver is not in the windows 7 driver pack, it;s now only supported by win 10... They'll get you one way. I decided it was only right to upgrade to Win10 (version 2004 )- Id delayed because there was no reason for me to upgrade. This was that reason. After the upgrade I tried the following drivers - but all of them provoked the card and display to flash violently from a black screen, to a moment of the desktop, with some artifacting and pixelated areas. Sometimes to display wouldnt load and stayed black. This always started to happen during the driver installation - never has it finished and stayed on display. I am usin Here is a list of the drivers I tried (in no order) and they all sent the card into a meltdown: 442.19 442.59 456.55 446.14 442.75 451.48 451.85 451.67 451.77 456.38 452.06 436.48 432.00**** Automatic Win10 on internet connection Latest one 456.77 Amongst all this, I genuinely thought it would be a hardware compatibility issue so I thought it best to upgrade Mobo, CPU and RAM. Now running: Asus ROG STRIX B450F Mobo AMD Ryzen 2700X (Stock) Corsair Vengence 16GB (standard MHz, will play with 3200 after gfx fix) I tried reinstalling windows from a USB key (made the USB key by switching in my old card and using that to gather resources). I didnt realise that when windows Upgrades - it seems to use all the available stoage devices to plaster "System files" in. This wound me up - I installed the OS on one specific drive for a reason! I guess the drive may have been full at the time of an update, but if one were to take out a storage device, I still expect the computer to boot! But it wouldnt, so be warned if you are reading, have upgraded and may need to change storage). So after discovering that out,. I removed two drives and installed Win 10 2004 with one SSD (original version), reinstalled the other two and gave them a good format. Since the new parts I have upgraded the motherboard to the latest BIOS 3103 but this hasnt assisted the issue at all. Nothing changed when I upgrae the other hardaware - all the same, unstable, jittery, unusable reaction from the beautiful card. A final interesting fact is that when the Super is installed and hooked up to the internet, Windows always tries to download and installed driver 432.00. This one still provokes the issue. If you have read this far, thank you for yout time. Hopefully I can get this fixed. In the meantime I've messaged the retailer to explain the situation and hopefullly come back with some solution / to test the card. What does it sound like to you~? Is there anything you feel I missed or would be worth a try?

Hola Jobito, check out this post https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/40334-read-before-asking-for-help/ I have a similar issue but with an MSI 2070 RTX SUPER, boots fine but as soon as install the latest Nvidia drivers, it artifacts with a flashing black screen, on and off. It becomes most unusable but I can get a solid CNTRL ALT DELETE screen. So odd, I will trouble shoot some more and then be posting up myself looking for support and help. Good luck amigo!
