I'm running Battlefront on my Gigabyte P34G which has 760M and it's been smooth and looks really good. I let the game figure out the default settings (outside of making sure it's at 1920x1080) The only thing I did outside of installing the latest nVidia drivers is to create a profile for the game in the nVidia control panel so that it knows to use the 760M instead of the Intel 4600 chip.

So after hunting on Gigabyte's site, I saw they pushed out driver updates for laptops that essentially had the same hardware as mine but a newer graphics card. I got the newer Intel chipset drivers and after rebooting, my nVidia card is no longer non-functional. There must have been some weird conflict that the new drivers solved.

So on the tip of a user in the PCPper forums I tried installing using a USB drive and it actually worked! The only remaining issue is that the GTX 960M in my laptop is disabled in device manager with Code 43 as the reason. I uninstalled the driver, blocked the auto update for nVidia cards and installed the latest driver directly from nVidias site. Still no joy :-/

It's failing at the initial install so safe mode is not an option. This is a gaming laptop so there is no taking out the nVidia card.

So trying to update my Gigabyte P34G gaming laptop from 8.1 Home to 10 Home. When I do the update, it goes 91% into the "Installing features and drivers" part and then dies with an error saying VIDEO_DXGKRNL_FATAL_ERROR It rolls back to Windows 8.1 and I get this lovely message: 0xc1900101 - 0x3000D The installation failed in the FIRST_BOOT phase with an error during MIGRATE_DATA operation Screenshot: Does anyone have a solution to get the install to finish and have a functional gaming laptop afterwards?

So instead of asking about using FIOS with a third party router you're really asking about adding a Access Point to the existing router. Either buy a dedicated Access Point or just make ANY router into a dumb access point: http://www.dslreports.com/faq/11233

Dude, you asked the same question like half a year ago.... Same answer goes: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/201833-verizon-fios-router-to-third-party-router/#entry2739325

I would love to get one of these and replace my parents' ancient PC.

I flashed the factory image on to my N4 the day they became available but you can just (VERY) easily flash the OTA yourself.

I know you're dual booting the same PC but the results you're talking about involve many variables which are not within your control. I'm saying use another PC like a laptop or something to do a PC to PC test using the tool linked. This will remove the internet from the equation and prove that the drivers in the Win8 install are bad.

Have you tried doing a PC<->PC test using something like LAN Speed Test (http://www.totusoft.com/lanspeed1.html)? That would give you a reproducible benchmark that doesn't depend on the whims of the internet or your ISP.

MoCA is meant for use on the LAN side for inside wiring not for WAN access. Neither of those 2 links are for MoCA devices. What I think you mean to say is that you need a DOCSIS 3 cablemodem. Find any cheap DOCSIS 3.0 modem via eBAY, Newegg, Craigslist, etc. Then check if it's compatible here: http://mydeviceinfo.comcast.net/

What's your motherboard manufacturer and model?

This behavior makes no sense. The OS shouldn't mess up speed of a NIC unless bad drivers are to blame. Are there any beta drivers available for your NIC?
