Hi guys,
Few months back my PC crapped the bed and would hit 100% CPU doing very little. This seemed to occur after a windows update. It's important to note that my CPU is not throttling and this isn't a heat issue.
I just reinstalled my PC and it seemed like perhaps there was a chance, but it's doing it again. This seemed to again occur after a windows update, but hard to tell since the PC was so fresh.
On this new install I can't seem to get my 1080 GTX drivers to install at all. It says they're not compatible with my windows version. I've also spotted that windows itself is failing to install its own graphics card drivers.
Could my issue in fact by my GPU causing this? I understand that the 1080 has trouble installing on the version I have, but windows also seems to be struggling to update itself. It inevitably just starts hanging and doesn't progress.
Spec:
2500k @ 4GHZ (downclocked from 4.5ghz for testing)
8GB DDR3
1080 GTX
Windows 10 - Version 10240 (v1507 I think)
Thanks for your help!
