Can anyone help me to pinpoint the cause of my recurring blackscreen?I'm leaning toward my graphics card (1080ti) being broken. When my monitor is plugged into the gpu, the screen remains black and nothing shows when switching on the computer, all the fans move and lights come on, but screen...

OK, I'm leaning toward my graphics card (1080ti) being broken. When my monitor is plugged into the gpu, the screen remains black and nothing shows when switching on the computer, All the fans move and lights come on, but screen remains blank, sometimes it initially boots but then black screens...

The reason I initially couldn't update the driver was that it wouldn't boot at all while plugged into the card. But, while surfing the web plugged into integrated graphics last night, my background image disappeared and I got repeated pop ups about not being able to find some file, then a blue...

After trying again tonight, it turns on fine and the video driver which was updating when it blackscreened yesterday says it is up to date now. It ran fine for about an hour, then black screened for no apparent reason.

Yes, it black screens only when monitor is connected to the gpu, but not when connected to the motherboard. I haven't been able to try safe mode because the screen is black from the start when plugged into gpu. When I power the pc on, the screen flashes "no video input" and goes to sleep. It...

How can...

@Colif - What software would you recommend for more stable overclocking?

Mobo: Asus rig maximums ix hero GPU: EVGA 1080ti ftw3 hybrid I just finished my new build and had a weird issue. While installing drivers and software from the discs that came with my mobo and gpu I started getting blue screens. I used a restore point and found that the problem only occurred...

Oh ok, I'll just use it for the upgrade then. Thanks

I read up on linking a Microsoft account and don't really want to go that rout. Should I find my old Windows 7 product key?

How big does the thumb drive actually need to be now? I've read 4gb, and 5, and you said 8. Has the requirement been growing, or did you suggest 8 just to be safe?

Awesome. Thank you.
