Hello

 

I just finished building my first pc and everything went well. thats until i started to test some games.

I installed and played valorant, but when i tried overwatch or minecraft both keep crashing at startup and sometime blue screen my pc. I tried talking to nvidia support and a clean boot and sfc scan did nothing- or i did something wrong- and I changed the power management mode on the launchers for the games to Prefer Maximum Performance but that didnt help.

 

Plz send help... I beg...

Make sure your drivers are up to date. Also install the drivers from the official Nvidia website because those drivers are better and more optimised for gaming. Windows already auto detects and installs drivers but you should still goes to the Nvidia website to install them. Make sure all the PCIE cables such as 8-pin or 6-pin are plugged in.

I am on the latest drivers and all the cables are plugged in. what happens if the cables are not plugged in correctly? i am assuming that the GPU is not going to work at all no?
