Ok my problems started when my display driver started failing for a few seconds and then telling me that it had recovered. Things got worse, it stopped recovering and I had to reboot. then i got a bso saying my voltages were off? As if I had overclocked wtf I had not. I loaded failsafe defaults on the bios and was ok for a few days. Then i got a bsod about apc_index_mismatch and another one I always get now when my pc stopped booting...
My system restore points were only recent unfortunately (wtf windows 7!?!?!) and system startup repair thing failed me.
I decided to do a new install on my primary drive, i didn't format it or anything, i copied my old files over from windows.old.
I will point out that my display is connected to the graphics card atm, and so its not on board graphics im utilising, i dont really understand how the gpu can work before i have installed any drivers, but hey.
Everything was working fine, I installed my basic programs again, but when I went to install the the gpu drivers, i couldnt get to my desktop on the next restart...
windows startup was however able to fix it, telling me on one occasion it was a driver and on another that it was a patch that was preventing me from getting to windows.
I decided to do a fresh install on an old backup drive and I was able to actually install the drivers without any damn problem..
I am going to install my common programs on the backup drive and see if its a conflict between a new version of one of those programs and my gpu drivers.
If its not that.. does that mean when I did the new install on my primary drive, some part of windows still was around from the last install somehow? can windows do that?
Getting closer at least. Can anyone think of anything else for me to find out exactly waht the problem is? Thanks.
I have windows 7 64 bit ultimate, core 15 2500k geforce 560 8 gig ram
