Embarrassingly, I’ve had my gaming rig for over three years now and I’ve never properly looked at the front of it. I moved it up only my desk recently and I found a couple of buttons on the front and I have no idea what they do. I don’t want to start pressing things. I just got it working again...

Got the RTX 2070 installed and working so all is right with the world again. Thanks for the suggestions guys :)

Would you believe it the warranty is three years so it just ran out in March. lol. Oh well, the 2070 should keep me going until the 3080 is released.

Yeah, I bought the computer back in March 2017 so it's probably out of warranty now. It's just a shame that it couldn't have waited to die until the RTX 3000 series cards were released, lol. I was planning on getting an RTX 3080Ti.

I tried DDU there but there's no change. The 1080 is still showing as "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems (Code 43)" and not outputting any picture. I think it's just that the card has died. I have an RTX2070 Super on the way to replace it so hopefully will be back...

Didn't realise that. I had assumed it did. It'll be worth giving DDU a go this evening.

I had initially used device manager to uninstall the card and ticked the box to remove the drivers from the computer. I reinstalled the drivers for the card and had no luck. I had read a few guides and couple of them mentioned replacing nvlddmkm.sys so I thought it was worth a try. I replaced...

So I was sitting happily playing FFXIV this afternoon and suddenly the image broke up for a second and the screen went black. I connected the monitor to the HDMI output on my motherboard and got a picture, the computer was stuck in a loop of blue screening complaining about nvlddmkm failing...

The other day I updated my graphics card drivers (ver 381.89) through the GeForce Experience App as usual but then something odd started: Power on PC BIOS Screen Shows Windows 10 loading screen shows Screen goes blank apart from a row of random pixels going across the top Sits for about 20...

Now to spend he next week deciding what to have as a wallpaper.

Arriving Tomorrow :) I've been gaming on a 27" 2012 iMac up until now. So I treated myself to a new computer. CORSAIR SPEC-ALPHA MID TOWER GAMING CASE - BLACK/RED Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Processor i7-7700k (4.2GHz) 8MB Cache ASUS® ROG STRIX Z270E GAMING: LG1151, USB 3.1, SATA 6GB, Wi-Fi -...
