PC has issues even after windows wipe please help

[SirCartman]

Hi I made a post recently but no one replied. So, I was using my system like normal and was using the program gigapixel AI (which I've used many many times before with no issues), I had brave browser running, wallpaper engine, and windows explorer running. Then out of now where my monitors start flickering and then BSOD with the text saying Video Scheduler Internal Error. I have tried many different things to fix this, I've ran my PC in safe mode (works just fine in safe mode no restarts) and used DDU to uninstall drivers (I've done this 5 times), I've tried using one stick of RAM swapping each stick to rule out RAM error, I've uninstalled MSI Afterburner, Geforce Experience, and tried installing just the driver and nothing. When not in safe mode I either get a video out for a few seconds/ minutes, or nothing at all and plenty of restarts until I get kicked to safe mode. I also ran a sfc scan to see if something was wrong and nothing. Earlier today I wiped windows in the hopes that it would get rid of anything that was causing the issue. At first this seemed to work, but once I started checking for windows updates it happened again. Now I don't even get the blue screen it just stays black in direct mode and will run indefinitely meaning that I have to restart. My PC works just fine in safe mode but once I get out of it (If I can even get into windows) I have like a minute to do anything before it just goes black and restarts to display nothing.

Had a simlar issues where windows acts like its a desktop but black display. Like its on but no visible desktop. My issue was corrupt media creation tool. Also never connect to the internet during windows installation till you get to desktop then connect run windows updates get all that done before installing any applications.

Might be just personal preference but in my experience never had an issue going with limited setup and disabling all the spyware windows wants to install. Once on desktop then connect. 

So I think you need to wipe the drive and reinstall windows, sounds like the same issue I've had.

Unless I'm missing something...

Hi thanks for replying. So, I'm in direct mode now with the internet connected, but no drivers installed or anything at all. I did an option that basically tried to fix whatever was preventing windows from starting up. I checked and it said it removed some windows updates. Now I'm not sure how I should proceed, I'm on windows connected to the internet haven't updated anything, but it seems stable no flickering or anything.

Did you do a completely clean reinstall? Like usb formatted and booted off of along with formatting all your drives? That is always better than the "Windows Reset" . Also, have you reset you bios to the default settings?

Yup I used the SSD cleaner that comes with the x470 taichi. I haven't done it on my other drives but they aren't even connected right now

Well yes I thought you were doing installation media. Clean install as in USB boot once in "select drive to install" (or whatever it says) you wipe that drive of all partitions untill is says "unallocated space". Then install with no internet connected till you reach fresh desktop then go to "windows updates" and you should about 20 updates going.

 

However if it working like it should now, then disregard.

So whenever I try to install my drivers I get a video tdr error. I used a friends build to test my gpu and the drivers worked just fine. GPU was able to play his games and run without any issues. When I used his gpu in my pc thats when issues occured. I checked the device manager and I got "Windows cannot load the device driver for the hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) {Path Not Found} The path %hs does not exist."
