Windows 10: New GPU. More errors/failures

So, I recently bought an RTX 2080 super as my christmas gift. The problem is games, like Minecraft, Tom Clancys Rinbow six siege, forza horizon 4, are crashing and I don't know why. Today while I was in online courses My both monitors turned black, audio cut off but pc still running, it was like it was on sleep/hibernate.

My specs are:

-I5 9600K no overclock

-Corsair Vengeance 32GB 3000MHz

-RTX 2080 super

-GIGABYTE Z390 GAMING X

:)

Hi Paty,

• Have you tried to use the USB Drive and create a new folder on a different PC?
  
• What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far to resolve the issue?

We look forward to your response.

 

having issues with multi GPU

I’m trying to offload certain apps to my iGPU on the second screen, using the new graphics settings in the recent win 10 release. the issue is it’s only showing my 1070. lists it as both power saving GPU, and
high performance GPU.

I’ve been fiddling for a while now with no joy, and i’m really hoping one of you guys has an idea they can suggest to sort this!

I can extend onto the second screen no probs with it plugged into the iGPU, but the 1070 is still listed as both power saving GPU and high performance GPU.

Are there requirements for this? certain level of iGPU for it to work?

Thanks

Edit - setting the secondary screen connected to the iGPU to be the "main" display in graphics settings makes my iGPU show as both power saving and high performance GPU, I just can't seem to get them
to be one and not the other.

 

Windows Error LiveKernelEvent code 141 on mostly new parts

One of the possible reasons why you're having this issue is due to video card driver failure. The first step would be to install the newest driver, (by completely removing the current driver, and installing the newest driver available). If it continues to malfunction after an update, revert to a much older driver as some new drivers are somewhat buggy. If changing video driver versions does not help, the next step would be to make sure the card is not overheating. You can download cpu-z and gpu-z (both free) to keep an eye on the video card temps.

You may also want to try running a GPU stress test you can download FurMark (free) Run the test until the GPU temperature maxes out - or until you start having problems (whichever comes first)
