    My downloads were almost completeley wiped


    My brothers computer randomly stopped working, black screened, so I helped him and we plugged in a USB into my computer. After I finished helping him, I checked my downloads, and only a few of my folders and a few of my downloads are remaining. There is nothing in the trash can, and I don't have any backups. Before you tell me "files aren't meant to be long-term in downloads, that's not what they're meant for" I know. I'm just confused. I've tried finding backups, or seeing where my files went, but I couldn't. Only the stuff from my downloads was removed. I did not run any type of cleaner and

    Wipe and install Win 7

    Confusing.
    I assume you mean "not happy" instead of "beyond happy".

    At the very least you'll need:
    1. A legitimate W7 install disk and Product Key
    2. KB976932 Service Pack 1
    3. Driver install files
    4. KB3020369 Prerequisite for KB3125574
    5. KB3125574 W7 SP1 Update Rollup (Windows will be updated to April 2016)

    Then follow this tutorial:

    Once you have successfully installed W7, the updates listed above and the drivers, install a program like Macrium Reflect and create at least 2 Backup System Images (on different external HDDs).

    Once you have created the Backup System Images, you can risk downloading the remaining updates for W7.
    I only install the Security-Only updates (and some fixes for them):

    Note:
    You'll also need to apply IE and .NET updates separately.

    New here and seeking for help: problems with graphic card

    Thanks very much lilhasselhoffer. I'll start doing what you suggested step by step.

    One question thou: you suggested me to Download the latest driver package from Nvidea. However, the link you posted is for the newly released GeForce GTX 760? Am I supposed to download the drivers for that card?

    Sorry for my questions. As I said, I'm not an expert at all.
