Hi all!!!
This is Freddy.
 
I recently do a fresh windows 10 install on a stinger wifi z97. I have a GTX 1070, but when I install it on the board windows doesn't load well or don't load at all. I cant install windows with the gpu on the board because it gets stuck at "Preparing files..." step.
I can install windows without gpu and everything works ok.
 
Bios is already at 2.04 version, the last one for my board.
The windows installation was made with UEFI boot mode, and CSM enabled.
 
Does anybody knows how to fix this?
Thanks in advice!!!!

    Sorry for the delay... your post has been released from filter
     
     
    Update Windows 10 First
     
    Download the Nvidia driver directly from Nvidia
     
    Now go offline ... remove network connection ... shutdown PC, remove power & then install the new GPU
     
    Reboot PC, (make sure network connection is disconnected) enter Windows  ... if Win10 tries to install a driver .. stop it ... then install with your download from Nvidia
     
    You can also use the free utility DDU to clean old drivers & then load new driver
