This is to help a friend...

Old Setup:
Mobo - Gigabyte GA-X79-UD3
Proc - i7 3280
Power Supply - Generic iBuyPower 700w
RAM - 4x4GB G Skill Ripjaws
Graphics Card - HD 7870 (died), changed to 4850
120 GB SSD
Keyboard - Razer (green with flat keys) your url

Changes made:
Power Supply - EVGA 750
Graphics Card - ROG STRIX GTX 1060
Added Drives - 500 gb Samsung EVO SSD + 2 TB Seagate Barracuda

Issue:
Bootup takes forever now, and double POSTs before booting. Rarely can manage to get into BIOS spamming F1 / D2 / DEL (del button is the one it as for but I'm spamming all three to get anything).
Also, the graphics card is refusing to recognize driver in device manager, constantly asks to be updated, yet I can work on it in 1080.)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


I'm considering trying fresh windows install for graphics card instead of bothering with Revo uninstall or anything to clean and driver's off.
No idea about double post though...

If you are just worried about cleaning out the old grfx driver....

DDU Instructions - Nvidia/AMD
1. Get this program, here: http://www.wagnardmobile.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=144 ...from the "Official Download Here" link, and save it to your desktop.
2. Get your vid card driver here, use the Manual Search: Nvidia: http://www.geforce.com/drivers ...or AMD: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download ...save this to your desktop.
3. Run DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) choose: Nvidia or AMD, then choose the "Highly Recommend Option", and just do what it tells you. If it wants to go into "Safe Mode", let it.
4. After it's done and comp has rebooted to normal mode, just double click the Nvidia or AMD driver ( that you saved to your desktop in step #2) ...to install. If it want's to reboot, let it.

Updated BIOS, double POST gone and the additional hard driver's and boot order work properly now.
DDU was then able to restart correctly as needed and uninstall AMD drivers. NVIDIA experience software installed drivers correctly from there and everything good to go!

Thanks for the input, this forum has been great help for my random questions as well as needed help.. :)
