Hello All,

System specs.
CPU: i5-9600k
MB: Asus Prime z390-a
RAM - Gskill Trident 2x16gb
GPU - GTX 2070 Duke MSI
PSU: Corsair TX850M
Drives: Intel ssd6 1tb Firecuda hybrid ssd/hdd 2tb.
OS: Windows 10 Home

My computer worked great for about 2 days then had a boatload of issues. After trying to work through it myself I posted on the System forum and got some advice that worked to get a stabilized windows install. Then I had issues when I was trying to get NVIDIA drivers for my GPU. It did not work and sent my computer into a boot loop and at one point had a weird black cube pixellated screen with the login screen. I am not sure how to get this driver to work to get my computer up and ready to roll here. Any advice is appreciated!

Hey,

which case are you using? I once had a boot loop issue and discovered it was due to a cheaply made power switch on the top of my case, it gets stuck sometimes and caused the computer to continually restart until I jiggled it a bit to the left and right.

Have you tried running "SFC /scannow" in command prompt to see how that comes back? Assuming that command comes back as validated/successful, you should be able to just uninstall and reinstall the drivers to get you going.

Are you overclocked at all? If so, I would suggest reverting to default, at least until these odd problems are resolved, then you can experiment and see what kind of stable overclock you can get.
