Restarting via the reset menu choice Reinstalling from the "Reset My PC" option
Hey, it seems your graphics card might be malfunctioning. After trying various fixes—reinstalling drivers, switching PCI slots, using different power connectors—I still faced issues. The fans stopped spinning backward, the screen went dark, and eventually displayed a poor error message. The IGPU works, but no one has confirmed its status yet. I considered reinstalling Windows from scratch since updating drivers didn’t help.
I have an old USB drive with a previous version of Windows 10. Should I use that instead? If resetting my current system seems enough, I’ll proceed, but I’m curious about its performance compared to the new setup. Also, my USB ports are questionable—one worked well for a large transfer, but I’m not sure if it’s reliable. I might need to replace the PSU or move it to another machine and test the GPU there. Maybe I’ll start by resetting the PC or transferring it to another computer before giving up on IGPU. It feels like those early days of gaming—maybe a bit nostalgic, but I’m worried about missing out on something better.
You might consider resetting Windows because the GPU seems to be failing. Installing DDU could bypass drivers, or booting into safe mode might work better. The issue with USB ports usually points to a motherboard problem, which could disrupt the installation process. Restoring from USB is possible, but it still relies on existing system files.
