Update: Meanwhile my system crashed and I reinstalled it. I both installed the Visual C++ pack from here https://www.techpowerup.com/download/visual-c-redistributable-runtime-package-all-in-one/ and every update from Windows Update Except the old Nvidia display driver (I have the latest one so...

Wanted to edit the original post but it's been a while and no one replied anyway. And I can't edit it so I gotta bump the thread. I updated W7, DX installer says there's no use for because I probably have the latest possible update. When I try install KB updates or vcredist it says about the...

I updated W7, DX installer says there's no use for because I probably have the latest possible update. When I try install KB updates or vcredist it says about the same thing. Like an error but can't be installed on this machine (x64). That error comes when I try running certain apps like a...

Exactly! That's what I needed to know, thx much.

Will other than HDMI /mini2.0 cables/adapters work or should I stick to 2.0 only?

I own Palit GTX 970. Wanna connect it to my old Samsung HD Ready TV UE32F4000AW but it looks like a large/regular (2.0?) HDMI input and I only have that cable. The GPU seems to have kinda smaller/slimmer HDMI. Which cable/adapter should I get then?

I had even worse PSU (can't remember the brand name nor model), but I used 9600GT and then upgraded to HD7700 GPU and changed PSU to the current one. As far as I remember the problem persists since whatever build I had. Maybe not right off the bat but barely after couple years from 2009. BIOS...

Since many years I sometimes had this error while booting or trying F8 to pick the mode. https://imageupload.io/i/d8o5HddvVQ My mobo is Gigabyte-MA770-UD3. This time though I just rebooted and it won't go away. Won't boot further past POST screen. Win 7 64. Phenom 9550 Gtx970 8gbram ddr2 Edit...

Could be since it's so old and I sometimes have problems with F8 to get to system mode and other features but nevermind. I dunno what I just did but I randomly alt tabbed, saw 2 same error messages, clicked X to exit and voila. It's ready to go now. Once again thank you for all your support. Cheers!

Thanks a lot. I switched to different sata cables. And these are the same cables that 1 of my hdd drives usually uses and it works. Unfortunately there's another error. Drive not ready. Exception Processing Message 0xc00000a3 - unexpected parameters. I can't skip it. Cancel, Retry nor Continue...

Yeah after entering "clean" a I/O error occurs. It won't clean it. It's listed as disk 0 so I did that typing "select disk 0"

I bought Goodram 240Gb CL100 SSD. Can't format it or install Win7 "64 Ultimate either. I use usb pen drive installer with SP1 and latest key updates. In BIOS i switched IDE to AHCI. In cmd window I type what in this tutorial is View: https://youtu.be/DHkoSqjJkdI but then I get I/O error. I...

I used another 6pin/molex adapter. So PSU might bottleneck my pc performance including FPS? Today I increased Textures size in-game settings and it did cut the power right off the bat cause it probably increased wattage immediately.

Modecom MC530 Carbon 530W. It's said to be crappy though. But almost 5 years ago. It's my 2nd PSU since I bought my potato pc in 2009. Edit: Thx for the link. I was about to do that paperclip trick and just before that it suddenly started working again Haven't even plugged off the cables, just...
