I have an error code 43 for my graphics card Asus Direct CU II GTX 770. I tried uninstalling the driver. I went to the Nvidia and installed it but it keeps saying 'Nvidia cannot find compatible hardware' which is odd. I manually installed it and restarted computer. I also did a soft reformat of my computer, not a clean wipe but the 'Keep my files' option with Windows 10.

Does anyone know if this a hardware issue or software? I realize when I tried to open Diablo 3, it states 'graphics card is missing features.'

Sounds hardware to me. Time to RMA the card!

Hm.. this is odd. While running the Nvidia driver installer, did you check the option to do a fresh install? With this feature selected, it will clean out all old Nvidia/Microsoft drivers for your card. Also, consider disabling Windows update before installing the drivers. Windows 10 will sometimes try to be smart and install drivers for you... which you don't want for video cards.

Not bad. Maybe AMD's new chip will clue Intel in to drop their damn prices...
Intel's 6950x Extreme is 4x the price.

Really hoping for a price war. Or at least lots of unlocked processors.

This CPU iteration from AMD looks very promising.

As much as I am hoping to see AMD becoming a CPU player again, at this point, I am still quite skeptical. All we've got so far is AMD's own claim that it is as fast or faster than the Intel chips. Until the independent test results start rolling in, we don't know how well they'll perform, esp in real life situations.

a stock cooler that isn't as ugly as sin
I don't get benching CPUs at 4K....results are prone to GPU bottleneck.

X suffix means that it auto overclocks from what I hear.

If you manually overclock, then 1700 will do fine.

I plan on getting the 1700x when it comes out, upgrading from my a10-6800k...

Can I transfer my win 10 license to the new setup? My win 10 was a free upgrade from a win 7 pro machine. I read you can just login to the new machine with your MS account and it should work, however others said you can't do that for the free upgrades?

Simple answer is no. You're going from an Intel setup to an AMD setup. Your motherboard will be different. Windows license key is tied to the machine ID, which is mainly the ID of your motherboard.

There are ways around it though...
What I usually do is do an Acronis backup of the current system, and then use Acronis Universal Restore to add the new storage controller drivers so Windows can boot without a blue screen. And then install hardware drivers as normal.
I only do the above when I'm too lazy to reinstall Windows and reinstall all applications.

When I do the above, Windows doesn't ask for reactivation for some reason, even though I'm going to dissimilar hardware.

Just a general note about the new AMD Ryzen CPUs. As of current, it will only support up to 24 PCIe lanes with current motherboard chipsets. Remember a good GPU will take up 16 PCIe lanes already. If you stick a M.2 NVMe in there, that's another 4 lanes gone. You are not left with much after that.

Properly spec out your system before jumping all over the Ryzen. Don't give yourself a hardware bottleneck.

I went from AMD to Intel with a Win 7 -> Win 10 upgrade. Just had to phone Microsoft and explain that I upgraded my hardware. CSR gave me a new key after about 5-10 minutes (had to give him my Windows 7 key).

yeap

i'm waiting until the summer when the new Intel HEDT is launched..they usually have 40 pcie lanes...hopefully priced more reasonably so I can make the decision then

Vega GPU won't launch until May/June time frame anyways

need some help
somewhat urgent, hoping to get this all running by tonight so it can be ready for my trip this week

dell xps, cloned original m2 pcie ssd to a backup ssd via USB
backup ssd is then cloned to new m2 pcie ssd on a desktop PC

popped in the new SSD into my Dell, under BIOS system info the ssd is recognized, but not available when i go into boot sequence.

I've already tried legacy (default UEFI), tried disabling secure boot, tried boot from legacy rom etc all combinations under bios.

I don't have windows recovering media on hand.

Sounds like you could try repairing your master boot record

That's what I would try first.

Is it recognized when it's plugged into your desktop?

i formatted it as GPT, as that's what the original SSD has as well

yes I can see it in Windows but no I didn't try booting from it in my desktop

I've done this cloning process a few times no problems with SATA, unless there's a step I'm missing for making PCIe devices bootable (I didn't see any options for CSM in the BIOS)

logically this should work. Original drive was also a m2 pcie. New drive is just a clone with larger unallocated space, assuming it has the same files in place to boot up.

This reply is probably too late for you.
A few things to note when using PCIe as a bootable drive:

- The image configuration on the new PCIe must match what was on the old computer. If the old computer is using GPT and UEFI, the new computer must be the same.
- Make sure the new PCIe has the drive controller drivers.
- My recommendation is to use an imaging tool's bootable media to clone/image the old drive to the new drive.
- Before booting to Windows, does the old PCIe SSD work on the new computer? To verify that you're not missing something.
- How about the SATA SSD on the new computer? To verify that your clone/image works.

another thing to check is that make sure the pcie m2 you have can be accepted on the dell.

I'm not 100% sure as i've had the issue mostly on desktops but some laptops only take pcie nvme and not the regular one as its key'd differently. you will see it in bios but it will never boot from it.

no SATA SSD involved here...original one was also NVMe PCIe with GPT partitions. Both new drive and old drive are M. Key only.

I moved the new SSD back to my desktop to try and reinstall windows via USB installation media

install is interrupted at 'installing features'...no error message but it reboots and loads back to the USB main install menu again.

Note my desktop doesn't officially support NVMe though..it's an older Intel Z77 chipset. Others have done it with success, while there are also modded BIOS on the internet to support NVMe.

Back to the original drive for now...maybe I'll try again after my trip.

Ok been over 10 years since doing a custom build so I need some help. Looking at getting a new PC in 1-2 months. Probably just NCIX or Memory Express.

- budget $1000-$1200
- looking to game on PC again but nothing hardcore so no need for top of line vid cards etc but at the same time want something that will last me 3-5 years
- SSD for sure i mean why not if i'm buying now
- likely doing dual monitors if that matters

I don't know, I've been out of the computer world for so long I know nothing anymore is there anything else I should mention that would help?

Any good price matching sites to use with NCIX?

Thanks in advance for getting the ball rolling.
