wtf is wrong with my GPU

[SenorKiwi]

Hello all,

 

I believe this means that might nvidia 650 TI Boost isn't being recognised...? I can't open any games up, and it's really annoying: http://prntscr.com/ej2vpp

 

Any help would be great, really wanna play some CS - not played in weeks  - I've updated windows, and it says there's a "failure" when i try to update nvidia. No idea what to do at this stage

Well, like you have been told in the other topic you created about the same problem. A fresh instal of your OS is a good way to start. You should be doing so every 6 months anyway.

so if I backup my data, then I'll still have to reinstall all my programs?

Try reseating your graphics card and maybe clean the pins on the card with 90+% iphoprophal alchahol

Yup, I nuke all the drives to nothing. Takes an afternood to reinstal everything.

Funny. I have no problems with my PC, and get better performace than other people. To the point of having to constantly show proof of said performance.

 

 

So.

Meh. Only a lot of work for your PC. You just sit and watch LOL

 

Use this tool. makes it simple. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

 

Remebber to instal the tool on a flash drive, then boot from the flash drive. Back up your personal stuff, and wipe the drives squeeky clean. Don't half ass it or you'll be right back where you are now.

idk what will happen to my game settings, vegas presets, etc. Is it possible to keep the programs backed up somehow and get them back?

Depends. Anything not cloud stored is vaporized. So any setting you prefer, make sure to keep a log. Which you should do anyway. Don't do a recovery, as that will just re introduce problems. Like I said, expect a good afternoon of set up.

Alright, I'll consider it. Hopefully an easier option can be found, but if it can't Ill act upon your advice

[SenorKiwi]

anyone else know a fix? For some reason - even weirder - when I turn my PC off my main monitor isn't even recognised. I go to update my drivers, of course it fails, although it then SWITCHES my monitor and then doesn't recognise my 2nd monitor but does to my first. Even though installation failled. WTF is happening I have no idea lol??
