crude sonnet What am I supposed to do now?

Force shutdown your pc 4 times

#

Should take you to safe mode

crude sonnet Sep 23, 2023, 2:29 PM

#

And then I should revert the setting

#

?

granite sinew Sep 23, 2023, 2:30 PM

#

yeah probs

crude sonnet Sep 23, 2023, 2:31 PM

#

It shows the login screen for 1 second and goes black

#

crude sonnet And then I should revert the setting

Yes

chrome kiln Sep 23, 2023, 2:34 PM

#

crude sonnet It shows the login screen for 1 second and goes black

best solution imo would be to boot into safe mode and run ddu

#

does the pc have integrated graphics?

crude sonnet Sep 23, 2023, 2:39 PM

#

I'm in safe mode

#

But I can't open nvidia control panel

crude sonnet Sep 23, 2023, 2:40 PM

#

chrome kiln best solution imo would be to boot into safe mode and run ddu

.

chrome kiln Sep 23, 2023, 2:41 PM

#

ok, do you have access to internet within there?

#

or is it offline safemode

crude sonnet Sep 23, 2023, 2:41 PM

#

Without

#

It is offline

chrome kiln Sep 23, 2023, 2:41 PM

#

do you have access to a different machine to download ddu?

crude sonnet Sep 23, 2023, 2:42 PM

#

Yes

chrome kiln Sep 23, 2023, 2:42 PM

#

(also a usb drive to move the file)

crude sonnet Sep 23, 2023, 2:43 PM

#

Yes

chrome kiln Sep 23, 2023, 2:43 PM

#

alright. Go to google and search for ddu

#

the first result should be from guru3d. Download it and send it to the usb drive

crude sonnet Sep 23, 2023, 2:49 PM

#

Ok

chrome kiln Sep 23, 2023, 2:51 PM

#

can the pc in safemode detect the usb drive?

crude sonnet Sep 23, 2023, 2:51 PM

#

Yes

chrome kiln Sep 23, 2023, 2:51 PM

#

neat

crude sonnet Sep 23, 2023, 2:51 PM

#

I have the file now

chrome kiln Sep 23, 2023, 2:51 PM

#

ok so extract and run it

crude sonnet Sep 23, 2023, 2:51 PM

#

Ok

#

Done

#

What now

#

Wait

#

#

It shows my old gpu too

#

That I had before

chrome kiln Sep 23, 2023, 2:53 PM

#

yeah probably reminants from the old gpu drivers

#

ok so what you can do is select gpu->amd and then clean without reboot

#

just to get rid of those old amd drivers first

crude sonnet Sep 23, 2023, 2:53 PM

#

Hij

#

Oh ok

#

And now?

chrome kiln Sep 23, 2023, 2:54 PM

#

go to the options on the top left

crude sonnet Sep 23, 2023, 2:55 PM

#

Yes

chrome kiln Sep 23, 2023, 2:55 PM

#

make sure remove PhysX is selected

crude sonnet Sep 23, 2023, 2:55 PM

#

Ok

chrome kiln Sep 23, 2023, 2:55 PM

#

then select gpu->nvidia and then clean with reboot

crude sonnet Sep 23, 2023, 2:55 PM

#

Ok

#

Am I still in safe mode?

#

My screen works now

chrome kiln Sep 23, 2023, 2:57 PM

#

it will reboot normally

#

yeah you arent in safe mode anymore

crude sonnet Sep 23, 2023, 2:58 PM

#

Now I should download drivers again?

chrome kiln Sep 23, 2023, 2:58 PM

#

it did reboot right?

crude sonnet Sep 23, 2023, 2:58 PM

#

Yea

chrome kiln Sep 23, 2023, 2:58 PM

#

alr

#

now go ahead to nvidia's website and get drivers

crude sonnet Sep 23, 2023, 2:58 PM

#

I already have geforce experience

#

With the drivers

#

That I can download

chrome kiln Sep 23, 2023, 2:58 PM

#

eh you can directly download the driver

#

it will get geforce experience as well

crude sonnet Sep 23, 2023, 2:59 PM

#

Oh geforce experience is gone

chrome kiln Sep 23, 2023, 2:59 PM

#

pretty sure ddu should have deleted it

#

yeah

#

windows will install drivers on its own but I will strongly recommend downloading nvidia's driver

crude sonnet Sep 23, 2023, 3:00 PM

#

Wait look

#

It's flickering

#

Like green dots

chrome kiln Sep 23, 2023, 3:01 PM

#

can you see them without the camera as well?

crude sonnet Sep 23, 2023, 3:01 PM

#

Yea

chrome kiln Sep 23, 2023, 3:01 PM

#

well the drivers may help it

crude sonnet Sep 23, 2023, 3:01 PM

#

Yea I think so

#

#

Should I reboot?

chrome kiln Sep 23, 2023, 3:13 PM

#

yep

crude sonnet Sep 23, 2023, 3:13 PM

#

Ok

chrome kiln Sep 23, 2023, 3:14 PM

#

when it is done rebooting make sure to set your refresh rate to your monitor's one

#

you can do that by going to settings -> display -> advanced graphics settings

crude sonnet Sep 23, 2023, 3:15 PM

#

I did it

chrome kiln Sep 23, 2023, 3:15 PM

#

alr

crude sonnet Sep 23, 2023, 3:15 PM

#

And look

#

chrome kiln Sep 23, 2023, 3:16 PM

#

crude sonnet Sep 23, 2023, 3:16 PM

#

Bo

chrome kiln Sep 23, 2023, 3:16 PM

#

or first time

crude sonnet Sep 23, 2023, 3:16 PM

#

No

#

First time

#

It was worse when I was in safe mode

chrome kiln Sep 23, 2023, 3:19 PM

#

try resetting the monitor to factory settings

crude sonnet Sep 23, 2023, 3:20 PM

#

I did that

#

But still

chrome kiln Sep 23, 2023, 3:20 PM

#

it could range from a funky cable to a bad connection in the gpu

crude sonnet Sep 23, 2023, 3:20 PM

#

rn_image_picker_lib_temp_4b408fbc-4a54-438d-9166-bcbb12f46590.jpg

#

My screen is flickering crazy

#

It's gone

#

It was my monitor power cable that was loosd

#

Loose

chrome kiln Sep 23, 2023, 3:22 PM

#

crude sonnet Sep 23, 2023, 3:22 PM

#

Yes

chrome kiln Sep 23, 2023, 3:22 PM

#

chrome kiln Sep 23, 2023, 3:22 PM

#

crude sonnet

crude sonnet Sep 23, 2023, 3:23 PM

#
