Good day guys,
I am either having issues with the board or the latest drivers from EVGA.
When I do a fresh install (format and reload) of Windows 8.1 64bit the PC works 100% and even after doing all the updates it still works good. (I can shut down and reboot with no problems)
As soon as I install any drivers the pc wont shutdown or reboot properly it gives Blue screen and then reboots or sometimes the screen goes red and then I have to manually reboot. I even tried one driver at a time and still get this problem doesn't matter which driver I try first.
 
At first I thought it was issues with the Bios but have ruled that out I hope.
Does anyone have this problem? or is it maybe a issue with windows 8.1?
 
Any ideas would be appreciated :)

Hey,
I dnt have one but will try borrow one and then see if it will solve the issue.
Thank you for the advice, I will update post if it works

Hey,
Changed to a AMD graphics card and all works good, I can restart and shutdown with no problems and have not had any blue screens since.
 
Thank you for the help Dustingg!
I just need to find another Nvidia card and see if it is a problem with Nvidia or was just an issue with my card I had in.
 
Regards

Thanks
Yeah looking at the EVGA 970FTW for now or if the price of the 980ti drops I will go that way, dnt really like AMD so much :)
 

its a 6870 so I can atleast play BF4 with no issues, but its a friends that he borrowed to me to test and have to give it back sometime :(

Welcome! glad you got it sorted!

I have an X79 Dark running two GTX 970 SSC cards. Very good performance.

I would say 6core 4930k is the best CPU for X79 platforms. 4 cores might as well go Z97

I would say yes if you are using 3 GPU's at the cost. I have all 6 or 8 cores CPU's myself and my last build with two GPUs the i7-4820K at 46GHz on only AIO Coolers works better then I would have thought. I to will only go with 6 or 8 Core CPU for the most part but the cost is $200 to $300 More so that was why to I went with the i7-4820K.
 
I did not have the extra $290.oo to spare for the i7-4930K CPU. I got the i7-4820K for $299.oo and the i7-4930K was $590.oo at the time.

@ dusting, Nice Rigs you have! Hiding a few little secrets out there are you. +1 BTW

I disagree,
Todays API's and game engines are utilizing up to 12 physical cores and more. i prefer clean FPS by way of Gsync. SLI is dead tech to me so I prefer a single solid GPU/CPU
Heats not issue for me. Custom loops

Nice rigs! I will be doing a custom loop in the Noctis 450, could you tell me how you mounted the res and what is your part list?

Everyone else is sharing, so will I. Specs in sig.
