So I did the fresh windows install and it doesn't seem to have changed anything, t Okay I’ve done the proper clean install of windows now and it hasn’t changed a thing. I’ve installed the NVIDIA drivers and checked for updates in the “updates and security” section in settings (it had like 5...

That was all I needed to do, I don't know whether it was the new USB or inserting straight into the motherboard to be fair, but it worked either way so thanks!

Alright, I will do that from now on then!

I've tried plugging it into both of my 2 USB ports on the front my midi tower, I assume that should work like a normal USB connector as I usually use that for controllers and what not, they're connected to the USB 3.1 header on my motherboard. I'll try a different USB drive and see if that makes...

Hi I'm trying to reinstall windows 10 on my pc as I upgraded my CPU, motherboard, CPU cooler and GPU last night. The new motherboard is the gigabyte z390 aorus pro and I'm pretty sure it uses UEFI, at least that's what it reads in the BIOS as far as I'm aware. So I downloaded the windows 10...

Yes and I've used them for like 4 months now without any issues, both with the new motherboard and the old one, so I highly doubt that's the issue

My current setup is as follows: Motherboard - gigabyte z390 aorus pro GPU - ASUS geforce RTX 3070 dual CPU - intel i9-9900k CPU cooler - nzxt kraken x63 RAM: 2x 16GB + 2x 8GB same brand and model (hyperX fury I think it's called) PSU: corsair 650W RMx memory - samsung evo 500gb

I'm not gonna lie, I don't really know how I do that, however in the settings where you do the windows resets they have a link that says "learn how to start afresh with a clean installation of windows" is that what's considered a proper reinstall?

Hi I upgraded my pc today, it works perfectly fine, but it seems to be quite slow at times, so like hovering my mouse over things will not register until a few seconds have passed, it's thinking for a bit longer and overall it just seems slower than my old build. I've previously used this new...

Alright thank you so so much for all the time you’ve spent helping me out with this, I really appreciate it!

Well that’s somewhat good news I suppose, now final question, do you agree that 650W is too little for the setup I’m gonna be running or do you think I can stick to that one?

Well the old PSU doesn’t work either so at this point I’m gonna have to assume it’s the mobo. Quite frankly I feel like I was as careful as I could be, but I suppose it’s never impossible to break it in some sort of way. Now is it “only” the mobo I have to worry about or could it potentially...

I’ll try to plug in my old PSU and see if it makes a difference. I’m still wondering how something could have fried on the mobo (if that’s the case), personally I can’t see anything wrong with my procedure of installing the new GPU.

Right my bad on the first attempt, I now tried again with everything unplugged apart from the CPU cable, 24 pin cable and rad fans and it still does the same thing, and just for good measure I tried again afterwards with the rad fans unplugged as well as they’re technically not connected to the...
