Hello! Me again posting about my issues. I've been running on Windows 10 and prior I have had issues where when I go to uninstall Killer Network Suite, during a part of uninstallation it would black screen and boot from POST. First it was just that, and then I downloaded Black Desert online to try it out. Only when opening that as the anticheat finishes loading- same black screen and reboot. My temperatures were normal, not high at all. My PSU voltages read in HWInfo read within tolerances very well. Ive since downgraded my rig to Windows 7 and have been able to do the uninstallation and playing of Black Desert online without any issues very comfortably. I'm wondering if the crashes were something as innocent as driver or OS issues or if I should be worried about recurring issues.

During those crashes I was runnin Windows 10, i7-6700k CPU, MSI GTX970, with EVGA SuperNOVA P2 650w PSU and 16gb of RAM.

Yeah, That or something was 'infected'. You never with this peripheral software. The fact that you couldn't uninstall was the most interesting. Did you try in safe mode? Which by the way is a complete pain in the ass to access. MS sometimes ......

It seems that it was either driver/software or a bug in the mobo? But my gut once again screams windows10 and driver issues. Since the killer is embedded on the mobo, something went really haywire while you tried to uninstall.

I figured as much but it still worried me. I was trying to uninstall the manager that I didn't need and boom. Then with the game it might have tried accessing a messed up driver. Windows 10 has been nothing but problems

I went ahead and clean installed 10 again and the same game that gave me issues now works flawlessly. I was worried it'd be PSU related but mine is tier 1, and was like $125 xD
