Hi there guys,

I've been playing problem free for 18 mths with new PC I build here 18 months ago and it has been a delight,

gtx 680 MSI i5 z 87 haswll build, umm 8gb ram.

I got the most vile virus and had to do fresh install,i could not even back anything up.

I had win 10 on new SSD and the win 8 disk would not bloody work, i kept getting some errors about fat32, but it gave more no option to change it, and i could not boot up it was bsod.

so out of utter anger and rage i formatted the DDS, there was no other way i tried everything... have i messed up?

Because my PC is just not the bloody same, not its slower i think, that blue circle is there at the start not even turning, and i cant rick click or even check task manager, but the i get a GTX 680 kernal error and it says its fixed it self.

I SSd test said all was fine, but I dint even under that really.

I think i may have missed a vital thing in the set up, what are the must do's when you have to do this? Ive got

win defender
malware bytes
God what ese
i installed disks from original for board and card, but i had msi and i wanted nvidia and i got new driver from nvidia and thats when this started, but i reinstalled driver and tried again and same thing.

things are just taking longer now, i had so many settings and little programmes i had, i just use pc for gaming. Could it be power settings? I have 750w antec,

I Nevr had any probs before i got that virus, but when you build your own PC as you all know you notice a ny wee chnage instantly and my baby is sick.

I have bf4 on another ccd, which seems to have waaaaay less numbers on the benchmark than my main DDs with win 10 on it, I formatted that one aswell in my rage as i didnt know which was which and i just dont understand partitions and things.

DoI need to update my cpu, MB again, what about bios? Should i use msi or nvidia drivers for the GTX 680 MSI lightning? I just dont know enough about this kinda stuff.

I'm gonna take a swing at this, and suggest a PICNIC.

EDIT: Opening post has been heavily edited, mine and some following responders posts may look out of place now.

I know what I did, I'm a compete dumbass, its too embarrassing to even admit so lets just say all seems to be better with the Crashing problem.

Still would liker some tips!
