Ended up uninstalling the drivers with DDU and doing a clean installation of the drivers. Had some issues with the installer not recognizing the card at first, but fixed this by opening up the case and removing + reinserting the card back into the pcie slot. So far, things are running fine --...

Thanks for the suggestion. That's actually pretty close to what I did -- only difference is that I ran DDU instead of Driver Sweeper. For future reference, any major differences between the two, or are they more or less interchangeable? As for my card, happy to report that things seem to be...

I've been having issues with my video card ever since I updated my drivers. I just tried uninstalling the drivers using DDU, but now when I try to install the drivers again, I get a message saying that the installer could not find compatible graphics hardware. In Device Manager, I can only see...

Bad news -- after working fine all day, it's shut down on me twice now with the same problem as before. Some additional information now though. The first time it shut down, my game suddenly had a massive drop in framerate, and then shortly after shut down. Upon reboot, Windows was once again...

Computer's been running all day without any problems, both under normal usage as well as heavy gaming sessions. So looks like the problem most likely resulted from an unseen error when my drivers updated last week. Thanks again for the help!

So far, no problems -- things look promising! Thanks so much for the help! I'll post again tonight to confirm whether things are still working.

For the last two days, my system has been periodically freezing and rebooting, and upon reboot Windows has reported it as a Blue Screen error. After having this happen several times today, I tried several things in the following order: -- checked temperatures of CPU/GPU -- everything looked...

I tried checking the memory as you suggested -- fortunately no problems. I do have multiple drives (1 SSD + 1 HDD), but haven't seen anything else so far to indicate a problem here. Yes, no major issues like system halts or blue screens, so that's a good thing. I think for now, I'll just...

Hi all, Built my first system a few weeks ago, and for the most part, runs completely fine. Recently, I've had some minor issues where the computer gets stuck partway while booting (stuck at the screen that says my mobo manufacturer name (Asus) and "Press delete to enter BIOS", or stuck at a...

Haha, okay, I won't worry about shorts then! Thanks so much to you both for all of the help and suggestions! Much appreciated! :D

Awesome, I'm glad to hear this :) That takes quite a bit off my mind, thanks! One last note -- I should probably also mention that one of the twist ties is a little close to some of my components. I had to tie the case fan cable to keep it from getting caught up in the fan/cpu cooler/mobo...

Hi all, I just completed my first PC build about 10 days ago. Everything works great so far, so I'm absolutely thrilled, but I had a few questions about the cables. 1.) I did order some velcro ties for cable management, but when I was building, I just used the twist ties that came with my...

Ok, then I think I'll just slide it up a little bit rather than move it to a different side. Thanks for the quick responses!
