I don't know what this is but I'm assuming its GPU related

I think @phillpower2 is referring to the order things were installed.
I’ll let him explain further.

You are correct Bruce but as was mentioned in my reply #43 helpers should not have to interrogate members to get the required feedback and I for one won`t.

It is up to the OP of any thread to provide all required feedback and in a timely manner.

So is there anything I should do?

Just my personal opinion, if it was my rig, and if I was a into gaming…

Get a good PSU, as mentioned, lots of warranty, slightly more watts than current needs, at least 80+ Gold.
Also, good quality GPU, stock NVidia rather than Dell rebranded.

Then reload Windows, with only boot drive connected (no other drives), and network disconnected.
Use the Windows Media Creation Tool to create a bootable USB stick (at least 8GB needed).
Boot from the USB, during install, delete all partitions (backup all personal files first!)
After Windows installs, load the chipset drivers (sound, network, etc) from the motherboard manufactures website (so download them prior to have ready).
Then load the GPU drivers.
Then connect to the network and let Windows activate and update.
Load a game and test how it goes.

I’ll get @PeterOz to add anything I may have missed. (y)

Just make sure the PS will work .
A lot of OEM like Dell, HP etc have propriety connectors

Have you tried DDU to cleanly uninstall the graphics driver then installed a fresh version of nVidia driver?

I’ve been planning on getting a new pc real soon anyway but I’ll make sure to keep this in mind if I end up wanting to sell this one.

I have not tried that. Would this be the correct website to download DDU from?
