No, not any direct proof, but they did mention it when Windows was first released. However, I assume it's pretty common sense also to realize that it's true. It was first released for tablets and touch screens to make it more reliable and faster and to keep up with android OS. Obviously if you think about it the way Windows 8 operates it makes perfect sense. Once they seen regular pcs were having a ton of issues they then decided to update it to 8.1 to run more smoothly.

Even wiki explains some of it.

 

Okay, so it seems alright. I haven't had any BSOD's yet, although my game did crash(Its still in Beta, its expected) I was looking though MSi Afterburner, and I noticed that my GPU wasn't there like it usually is. I restarted my computer because whenever a game crashes and my computer doesn't actually BSOD, the process hangs in the 'background processes' on task manager but I can't play them.(Another problem I have) I just took another look at MSi Afterburner and it isn't recognizing my nVidia graphics card. I'm probably going to try playing a few crash-prone games and see what happens.

 

okay why don't you take it back to (SYSTEM RESTORE) to a week or more or before this happen

 

I do not have any restore points from before this started occurring roughly around March 13th.

 

Yup, try reinstalling the afterburner program or whatever it is and see if that works.

 

I actually did another complete uninstall of my driver, but I also got rid of GeForce experience and I also used that program you gave me Drac and it got rid of some more stuff(Including the driver I download to install after restart so I had to reinstall it AGAIN. for like the third time) but, my card is showing up in Afterburner again. (Afterburner came with my computer, It is an MSi overclocking control panel)

 

ah okay xD Well hope all works out then!

 

Its working well for now.

 

There is never any need to overclock a GPU you can get like 5 fps max on most cards
CPU on the other hand, there is a big difference

 

I dont overclock. Afterburner controls alot more than just overclocking.

 

And i guess you were correct about windows 8 tablet version, just wierd i never heard of it that way, Anyways My opinion is still that its realy good Win to count dracula

 

Of course, I heard 8.1 was in good standings at this time. I know a lot of Twitch streamers that are in use of 8.1 and they say they seen a huge difference from windows 7.

 

I'm pretty sure my graphics card went bad. After contacting Nvidia support they told me to either refresh or it was bad. I really dont want to refresh because y'know it'll take like a week to re-install everything. Thanks for the help everyone. :\

 

Did they say they would replace the GPU or no?

 

Nope, My warranties expired.

 

ouch yeah that blows

 

Yea, and I can't replace the GPU.

 

Browsing around MSi's forums this is a big problem with ALOT of people with this model of computer. So hopefully they will noticed and reimburse or fix it or something. I cant do shit right now.

 

How old is the computer? Very strange.
