PC is fine/Razer Cortex

[skipper847]

Hi all. First thing first is thank you to you all for trying to fix my PC. In the end I sent it out to be fixed and told them what was wrong with the blue screen 116 code, crashing and slow down in games. It turned out to be the graphic card dead all this time for last 3 years as HDMI to HDMI never worked. I got the Asus 970 GTX 4GB version and first thing I did was try the HDMI to HDMI and it worked straight away using same TV. Games run fine and no slowdown apart from odd time due to Vsync I think. The only thing is that the PC takes 1 minute 24nds to boot which stays on the gigabyte logo. then normal 4 ring boot up which takes a 2nd and don't spin all the way round as it did be for. I tried going into bios but it locks my keyboard out so cant.

Also they put Razer Cortex on but I have to sign up and just wanted to no if it was worth it?.

Thanks.

Are you running the latest bios on your motherboard ?

I had GTX970s in my system and it booted-reset-booted each time I turned on the PC, making the startup really slow. Updating my bios fixed the issue.

It was at F18 latest proper release with out been in beta when I took it in. But as said I don't no now as cant enter bios as it locks my keyboard out too. I no this as caps lock and num lock light don't work either when pressed at start up but the key board lights up as got a keyboard where the keys are light it with led.

Can you state your exact hardware ?

It sounds like your motherboard only initialises certain USB ports during startup. If your keyboard isn't plugged in to one of the 'main' ones, it won't work in BIOS.

The bios worked be for I sent it there it just on its return. I put the GPU Tweak on and noticed even more improvement on default. So think I will leave the bios a loan. On Far Cry 3 I can even have MSAA on X8 with no problems on ultra be for at any setting it was really bas stuttering. How ever I like MFAA in the NVidia setting but do you need AA on in game as well?. I can live with 1minute and 24nds on start up if games runs fine.

Thanks again.
