yo

so recently (like an hour ago) i had this problem where my PC will lag like fuck on the windows loading screen and my monitor will lose connection while my PC is on.

this is the third time this has happened to me, the other 2 times i had to reformat to fix the problem. that is not an option this time because ive sunk a lot of time into a few vegas project files, and i cant torrent on campus internet.

i figured it is either a graphics driver problem or a hard drive problem. no lag/crashing when i boot to safe mode.

Windows 10
B350 TOMOHAWK motherboard

wat do

Reinstall the graphics drivers. Clean install and all that.

Windows 10 likes to fuck with drivers.

Also if you don't have any backups sooner or later you will get fucked. A USB stick for the bare minimum or even an external hard drive or various online/cloud backup services (generally dislike them because subscriptions and what are you going to do without internet?) are really not that expensive and will save your ass one day.

EDIT: FYI I don't look at the Q/A forum very often because it's mostly hud related questions and quality threads like this one http://www.teamfortress.tv/43490/today-tomorrow-the-day-after-tomorrow

You uninstalled them, but did you do a fresh install with the correct ones?

download your network drivers onto a flash drive from a different pc and install them that way, then just download your graphics drivers from your main pc

And this is one of the reasons why windows 10 is shit. It will randomly replace your working drivers with broken ones because UPDATES, except the most recent version microsoft knows is ancient and not even for the hardware you're actually using.
Glad you were able to fix it though.
