Hi guys and girls,
My PC suffered a big crash when playing Dirt Rally last night, and the only way to recover the system was to push the reset button. The pc would then refuse to enter windows. When it finally did, the GPU driver had been removed, and i was left with a huge black and white screen. The internet connection (wired) was saying there was no connection, so i rebooted the modem and I ran the Nvidia Experience software and downloaded the latest driver - with the network logo still saying it was not available...
I also checked windows update and saw there was an update ready to install, so i restarted to install said update.
After that the PC struggled to boot into windows. Finally after trial and error it did, and i tried several times and everything seems normal again!
When i tried the internet however, it is dog slow... To the point that youtube and a couple of others would time out loading the page.
I have checked my connection settings, ran a full Norton scan, Malware scan, CCleaner, network diagnostics, and a speed test (which shows i am getting full speed from the line) and finally windows update again. Still dog slow! (this PC is always kept spotlessly clean, and fully up to date on all hardware.
I am using Chrome.
Anyone got any ideas? I am stumped. Specs are in my name badge.
Thanks to all for any help as always!
