Windows 10: Windows 10 killed my $3600 custom PC

The first time installing 10 took half a month, -with all the missing drivers. That was the better Parr of a year ago.
Once installed the PC freezes randomly. Audio will stop, then all mouse function a few seconds after.

Random USB ports go in and out of operable function, and the external audio DAC is sometimes there and running, then at other times a message tells me it has no drivers... where they go after theyou are downloaded into the drivers folder, I have no idea, they simply disappear randomly like the PC is purging itself of them automatically.

In all. Over the last year, I have taken my PC to three experts that can find no option but to run my state of the art, cutting edge, custom video editing machine, on win 7....

Today I turned it on, went to get my tea, came back and Windows 10 is uploading itself to my PC again..... black screen.... nothing functions.... unplugged and plugged in again to see if it will start up.... All dark, no lights, Nothing.

$3500 paperweight... Thanks Microsoft!

Windows 10 resolution In my ASUS Eee Pc 1015cx

Microsoft has added support for Intel GMA Driver 3600 on Windows 8.1 but we are unable to start windows application on windows 8.1 over a resolution of 1024*600 It asks for a resolution of 1024*768.

On installing Windows 10 on my Asus Eee PC 1015cx I can easily run apps of Windows on the resolution of 800*600...

If Microsoft and Intel Adds Supported GMA Driver for 3600 Series it would become for efficient for the Asus Eee PC 1015cx users to run apps on the resolution of 1024*600...

Shame on you MICROSOFT and INTEL!!!

 

Monitor stays on standby on bootup

Well actually it has screwed my pc -

Windows 10 has killed my pc

 

If you built that custom PC by yourself with state of the art components, you are responsible for manually installing the necessary drivers to make them work and to utilize every bit of features each hardware are designed to do. Windows 10 comes with universal/generic drivers to run even the most basic PCs. These drivers should work as-is but if they didn't work on yours, each hardware that you put together on your PC came with CDs or document with links to driver sources to make them work.
Your PC is not a paperweight. You just need to know how to make it work. And you came to the right place.

Welcome to Ten Forums!

 

You say it's a $3500 PC but it also appears that it's Win7-era PC, and one that old is likely to have issues with Win10 drivers for the hardware.

You didn't post any hardware specs, so without them, folks here can't help with driver suggestions.

If it was a year ago that you did the upgrade, that was part of the Insider program, and what did you expect with that was, essentially, a BETA edition of the OS?

Any of your so-called Experts try doing a Repair-Install with a current Win10 ISO? If not, they certainly weren't "experts" -- in any sense of the word.

I have three Win7-era PCs I upgraded to Win10, two of which were disasters -- but I expected that, as they were really old PCs. The remaining PC upgraded without problems and has been working without problems ever since.

I can assure you Windows 10 didn't kill your PC. Windows is simply a piece of software.

 

Microsoft is not responsible for making your hardware work. The manufacturer of the hardware is.

 

I'm having deja vu. So many things in the OP don't make any sense. Anyway, do a clean install of Windows 10. Is that still doesn't work, you likely have some hardware issues to sort out.

 

Good to know that he could save $100.





windows 10 runs on my super cheap computer (approximated to $ value) of $530 very perfectly, as perfectly as windows 7 did ... or it kills the extreme costly computers only? *Huh

 

Start over. Get a Windows 10 ISO, "wipe the machine" and do a clean install.

 

Hi there

I hate to say this but the lack of basic engineering skills demonstrated here to me seems simply appalling -- I shudder to think that I'll be dependent on these types of "Engineers" as I come into retirement.

Go back to First principles --

1) Open computer and take pictures / notes of how everything is connected -- and note any manual dip switches (although these days there shouldn't be any of those.

2) Remove everything including all HDD's, Memory, GPU, even the CPU if you can do it easily.

3) Now replace CPU and switch on -- OK you won't have keyboard or anything yet - but check all fans are working - that shows CPU isn't broken or incorrectly inserted.

If nothing happens ensure PSU is connected --there's sometimes a little switch (led) that also needs to be connected on some MOBOS before PSU will switch on. If still nothing then 99.9% defective mobo / CPU.

4) now insert GPU and monitor and a keyboard. Still leave 0K memory -- i.e don't connect any memory.

5) Switch on and see if you can get BIOS messages --if you get that far then problem is in one of the other components --HDD / Memory etc.

6) insert one memory module at a time (still no HDD's etc) and boot -- if no Bios messages then you've got a defective / incompatible memory module.

7) after Memory now add HDD's one at a time -- If BIOS OK but computer BSOD then the OS needs to be re-installed.

Just go through everything slowly and logically -- don't rush things and change too many options at once --you can't break a computer by re-booting it loads of times.

Cheers

To the OP. First, Sorry for all the warm and friendly Welcome to Ten Forums you received for your first post. As I understand your post When Win 10 went RTM you upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and had nothing but problems. You then took it to 3 different people who were supposed to know what they were doing and they could only fix you problem by down grading back to Windows 7. Then your computer for what ever reason upgraded back to Windows 10. I'm not sure your saying your computer will boot and you only get a dark screen or or computer won't even turn on. If it's a dark screen I would try Edwin's suggestion and try a clean install with a Win10 ISO. There are How to guides on this forum. If the computer will not even start I would follow jimbo45's suggestion.

 

So you might hope. I have a new Asus Z170-A mother board. I did a clean install of Windows 10 64bit and there was no driver for the network adapter! I previously installed the Windows 10 32 bit but that was an upgrade to Windows 8.1 which already had the correct driver. The good news was that I did not have to enter a licence key, and the 64 bit version runs the Classic Start Menu OK.

 

So what is this?
