And hey don't beat yourself up over this thst much.. we all live and learn! That's how it works!

My first pc I bought was way back in 94. Bought a Packard Bell P2mmx system and 13" monitor <- haha

Anyways that thing would blue screen pretty quick no matter what. Had it in the repair shop 3 times getting this and that replaced and I called Packard Bell and said you gotta replace this per the lemon law. So they sent me a faster rig and a larger monitor for free!

After that I tore that whole pc apart and gutted the mainboard.. examined everything ans vowed to myself that I was gona learn what everything is and how it works and from there on I have been building my own for the past 22 years! ;)

If it wasn't for that turd of a system I wouldn't be who I am today! A guy that's about to build my fresh new gaming rig this after noon! Haha

Man I hate to break the bad news.. just read the fine print as I wanted to see if I can get it even though I purchased my cards like a week before they started the new give away.

Please note that the game is only available on Windows 10. You will be able to redeem the game, but you will not be able to view or download it on any previous version of Windows.

I'm loving my life right now...lol xD

Haha sucks.. no worries I can't get it either u less I go there and be a hero and have them re ring up my cards with the codes if it's on the reciept.. if not go for the hail Mary that a sales man would hand me a code when it's not helping him out any as in new sale.

All will be fine when the new battlefield and Titan fall 2 hits anyways hehe.

PC Spec:
Windows 8.1  Pro 64Bit (Because the store tech said that gtx1080 cannot get recognized by Windows10 Pro 64bit)
 

Oh dear... and these people are actually charging you money?

Yeah....humanity sure has a funny way on taking advantage of thevweak :(

The others already told you much of what went wrong, just an addition : Do not change settings where you don't know what they do, especially in the Bios or Overclocking software. It can destroy your PC. Fortunately you tried first for your GPU that is quite fail-safe, if you would have done this for the CPU you could have burned it :>
 
I once also had a PC built by a shop which didn't knew what they were doing (they mounted a CD-drive with only one screw so it deformed the case while being transported, and after returning it the same happened with an hard drive that slammed onto the graphics card and destroyed it) - I returned the whole thing, got my money back and bought somewhere else. Not sure if this is possible for you, but I wouldn't accept being treated like this.

So far everything's fine. Just waiting on tech support to let me know if my cards were created after aug 30th.

You don't have to overclock with precision X. Just use it to adjust the fans if you want or the led colors.

Though when you do overclock you want to just go like +25 on the gpu core at a time. Hit ok and test. Maxing that slider would lock up anyone's pc hehe.

Most cards will do 2050-2100mhz some more some less.

So try +25 if it's fine then try +50 and so on.

Maxing the slider is prob like trying to get 4000mhz or something hehe

Would think evga would be able to tell you if you have fixed cards or not by the serial numbers off the cards. You should call evga customer support line and ask.

So the tech support of evga got back with a reply saying 2 of my cards were shipped out on the 25th of august. I am going to install the division tonight and run it on optimal settings. How long will it take to find out if i have faulty cards or not? Thanks again :)
