Yesterday I installed Windows 10 on my computer. I installed AMD overdrive because my graphics card fan was driving me crazy.  After I installed it, I can no longer boot into windows without an error. I tried entering windows with safe mode, but when I attempted to uninstall this message popped up; 'The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance.' Anyone know what to do?

i'd just reinstall win10. it's AMD OverDrive that is causing the problem. if you can't uninstall in safe mode i'd try to gut the files that AOD uses, then try to uninstall in normal mode. 

 

if that fails, just reinstall Win10, it's a fresh install anyway, so you aren't losing much.

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

I was thinking of doing that, didn't know if there was an obvious fix. Thanks anyway.
