ok then i guess onto general troubleshooting then:

 

after each step, check the result. if one step fixes it then great, if you go through ALL OF THIS, even the reinstall of windows then there is hardware level damage to the CPU or mobo

 

run crystaldisk info and check drive health

check ALL CABLES at BOTH ENDS

reset CMOS

remove the graphics card and try on the IGPU

try the GPU in another system

 

if the IGPU still has problems its probably not the GPU, if the IGPU has no problems then its graphics card related and you should probably try RMA it, but you can also try:

 

run memtest 86, any errors mean that there is a problem with that RAM stick

try each ram stick alone in the first slot

reseat CPU

check for any scratches or damage

reinstall windows, clean

I updated my Nvidia drivers to 388.71 a couple of days ago prior to experiencing the PUBG launch. I go to play PUBG, the game says, "Running..." for a couple of seconds and then acts like I never clicked play to start with. I would place this thread on a PUBG related forum, but I also have issues with other games now. When I try to launch Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, I see the main menu for a second and then my screen goes black but the game is still running and controllable. I also tried to play Battlefield 4 last night but was unable to connect to any servers due to Punkbuster kicking me the second I get into any games. I've rolled back to 388.59 and the problem still persists. I've also tried reinstalling PUBG, reinstalling Microsoft C++ files and looking up game specific no launch fixes. None of these work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

run DDU and install latest, will probably solve it

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

Try DDU and installing the last known working driver (388.59).

Okay. I'll try these but all of my other games work well. It's only PUBG and MW2.
