I had to re install Windows 7 and my graphics drivers are causing pic related.
I had this same issue when I first built the damn thing maybe 6 years ago but I've forgotten how I fixed it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Asus Z87m plus mobo
Evga nvidia gtx780
Windows 7 64bit
Intel core i7
Samsung 250gb ssd
Some memory

Have downloaded the latest drivers?

Install Gentoo. That will fix it.

Install Windows Vista, it's very good OS.

Yes, I also used display driver uninstall each time, and I've tried a bunch of older drivers just in case.

>Current state of windows

go for linuuuxx

The gpu might be toast, has it been running Hot? Is it under warranty? Would you be comfortable taking it apart to clean it maybe?

No its about 0 degrees ambient temps here and I don't overlook.
Fans are working.
It was fine before avg corrupted my windows and it works fine on windows vga drivers, it's only when I install nvidia ones that it goes to shit. Windows gives it a code 43 error which means nothing.

This has only been an issue since Windows re install which is why I think it is driver related.

have you got another pc to test the gpu in? if its the same story with another pc then the gpu is just fucked. what you can do is take it apart and clean it and reapply thermal paste and theres a small chance that will fix it, if it doesn't you can try reflowing the gpu if you're desperate to fix it. That can be done professionally with a heat gun or with an oven if you're poor.

>AVG
Are you autistic? Why would you let that trash touch your Windows install.
Avira or Bitdefender is the way to go if you lack common sense and an Adblocker.

It really does look like your graphics card is dying, though. Might be time for a minor upgrade.

Ah, yes. Because everybody enjoys the fuck out of fiddling hours on end trying to get a single thing to work on any linux distro.
And forget gaming or using any meaningful application. Who needs those, right? Let's just use some half working open source alternatives. That'll do the trick.
Suppose I'll have to explain to my boss that >muh leenoox is the reason why that super important document isn't readable because LibreOffice fucked the formatting.

Only desktop shit any linux distro is stable for is web browsing.

Aren't you doing the same with wankblows, OP

your vga is fucked
buy a new one

Nah dude. Everything on Windows just werks.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

True story.

Great meme, kek'd

that does look like a hardware error
try the card in a different PC
try to reflow if it's fucked and want to save it

I'm sorry windows is bullcrap. It doesn't have Live ISO, can NOT rank update mirrors, update takes 4-5 hours, upgrade breaks and it doesn't work, even though people pay for it.

My perception of windows is that it is still alive in desktops because of
1. computer illiterate people that does not know any other OS than windows and any other browsers than Internet Explorer
2. Availability of pirated paid software.


Android will kill windows anyways because it's easier to use. Microsoft is trying hard with the surfacebook pros but honestly it doesn't compete with tablets.

For gaming I'll lay down a hard to accept fact:
People that lost virginity use PS4 and move on with their life.

Time for the oven fix, OP

your GPU is dying, toss it in the oven or get a new one
