Hello,
My poor pc has been limping along lately, with only GB RAM and 8 GB free on the 250 GB C:/ drive… it did start to crash quite often while playing games. I ordered 16 GB RAM and now have a 500 GB SSD card lined up to replace the old one. I’ve gotten stuck after the RAM update however…
We go back to two days ago: I’ve found myself in quarantaine and moved my pc upstairs. When starting up, the screen stayed black (there was power to the GPU/rest of the pc). I removed the GPU, removed and re-installed the drivers (downloaded the correct one through the nVidia page, Windows 64-bit edition and all) and everything worked.
Today, my new RAM arrived, switched the old one out and the new in. Same issue: black screen on startup, but the pc is powered on. Removed it again, tried to re-install the nVidia drivers, I get the “nVidia is not compatible with your windows build” error. Downloaded it again, tried both editions, no improvement. Forced windows to check for updates, but after that nVidia still doesn’t feel like co-operating, nor does it give any kind of graphics with the GPU installed. After further digging online, there’s a suggestion of installing GeForce Experience and updating my drivers through there. However, it doesn’t want to install without the GPU in place. So I seem to be in a bit of a bind here.
