Hello,

I have problems with Windows and it detecting my GTX 970 and my VG248QE so no 144 hz. It also crashes after installing drivers. I have tried a lot of stuff for the past 3 days.

My specs:
I5 4670k
MSI Z87-G41
Gigabyte GTX 970
SSDs: Samsung 840 and Kingston SSDNow v300
WD Caviar Red 1 TB

Greetings SuperEesti,

- What Windows version are you running?
- How much RAM do you have?
- Try to adjust your refresh rate to 60 Hz.
- Remove the GTX 970 and use the Intel HD 4600. Now try to install drivers from ASUS and Gigabyte.
- You have two SSDs and one mechanical HDD? According to MSI's web page, you need to pay attention to which SATA ports you use. If you use the mSATA port, then SATA port 6 can't be used.

Cheers,
GreyCatz.

Thanks for the answer.
Windows 8.1
8 GBs of RAM at 1600 MHz
I tried everything you said like 2 says ago, and nope. My GPU or MoBo might be broke, don't know which one. I am taking my PC to the place where I bought the parts from.
Thanks though!
