Gigabyte Software

[atomburst]

This post is going to be a complete rabbit hole of my crappy troubleshooting so turn away now if not up for reading a novel. So I bought a used gigabyte gtx 1070 xtreme gaming off ebay and was satisfied. Ran In to some problems with OC Guru 2 not launching but I fixed it by using Xtreme gaming software Instead. Eventually the Xtreme gaming wouldnt launch wither, and I would click on it and it would ask for admin permission and I would grant it but then nothing. So i get aorus engine, which launched once but then had the same problem, and better yet, after using this, I couldn't control my leds, and now theyre stuck off. I tried reinstalling and everything a bunch and nothing. So I said oh well Ill use msi afterburniner and use nvidia led controller. Afterburner is working fine, I just wanted everything (OCing and LEDs) Under one roof but eh its fine. So I go to install the nvidia led control, and it asks me for admin permission to install, sure, and then I wait. The installer flashes on screen very briefly, like faster than I can read or tell any of what it says, and then dissapears . I tried installing older versions and stuff, that didnt help, I did the classic restart of pc, nope. Took out gpu and waited for a bit, then reinstalled, nope. Used a secondary drive and installed there instead, nope. Im pretty new to PC stuff. although I know a bit, im pretty much shooting in the dark. Any relation, tips, or answers is appreciated because I really need these LEDs for the extra FPS.

Doesn't sound like your GPU, but rather your system in general.

Like bad RAM, failing power supply, or corrupted OS install

So maybe reinstall OS?

made a mistake with gigabyte, as did i. Warranty service is nonexistent. Took me over a month and had to pay 50 dollars in shipping that i had to pay for and then it took them a month to fix my 2000 dollar laptop. They sent it back by grounds and it took another week.

While I like Gigabyte hardware, I have never had to use their support luckily. 

Unfortunately their software sucks. 

I've fiddled around with the two software packages you mentioned from Gigabyte. They seem to only sometimes work. I had some luck with restarting after each setting change. But it seems pretty random. 

This is with a GTX 1060.

Alright thanks all for answering. After reading other possibilities online and answers here, something seems a little weird with my setup since not even nvidias software would work, however I think there are some problems on gigabytes end as well. Ive foumnd that if I justd elete the app and then reinstall the exe and launch after install it (Kinda) works. Leds are sometimes woring sometimes not, but I can still OC and make fan curves using after burner. Thanks Guys!

 

Quick edit, LEDs are working again i just have to unistall then reinstall and check launch when finished. Im aware those in the thread may not need this specificly but its a troubleshooting tip for anyone who stumbles across this page.
