Just my opinion, but this is the only online dealer I would trust.

Windows 7, 8 and 10 Home and Professional - Newegg.com

Micro Center would be a great place too. There is a store in Cambridge....

You are not missing anything, the 1st thing you need is a key.

Root Beer :party:

Motor Oil :redcarded:

Did you look in Programs & Features ?

Maybe you accidentally installed something.

Well that just sucks, you wait for a part to arrive and it`s dead :mad:

Don`t they test these things :banghead: I know these boxes can take a pounding while being delivered.

Is that the new box you built ?

The parts that you listed just 5 day ago ?

That was a fast build :shock:

Yep you won`t see any speed gain, and you`ll end up with more partitions vs MBR, leave it be.

Samsung Magician is not really needed at all, sometimes it`ll say your firmware is up to date but it...

:shock: Sweet :eek:

OK, would someone like to purchase that for me, or maybe we could make it a group effort :D

There wasn`t a cd in the box ?

But if there was a driver you could just get it at asus.com

You should always read up on what they`ve added, and what they`ve taken away.

Glad you finally got it done. :-)

I don`t know, I hate laptops, but I would not consider that a long time for a laptop.

Is that stock from the factory ?

Did you go into the Bios and disable the startup splash screen, and set...

I wouldn`t be using Windows Update to update any of your drivers, do that on your own. Especially if it`s a laptop.

I keep all those settings turned off.

I don`t even have that option in 1803,...

Here ya go Mike, you can go custom on your Ti :-)

The other card, the 1545 MHz card that`s out of stock, does not say Ultra on the box.

But like I said, those pictures could be just for display purposes on the website, you can see how the word...

Yes, he has the Ultra Gaming 1755 MHz card, the 1545 MHz Gaming card was not even listed when he bought his card.

There is no FTW3 labeled Ultra, it`s either Gaming or Ultra Gaming. But the...

You have no signature and you don`t have any badges under your name yet.

kado897 (Keith) can make you a beautiful signature if you are going to hang around, just give him some pictures and some...

Are you talking about when you push the power button, or are you talking about when windows is first loaded ?

I wouldn`t play a game while you`re downloading one.

If you have a system restore point prior to a week ago you could restore it to that date.

Yep, make images and you `ll never have to do a clean install again, unless you want to.

And if your drive decides to die, you lose nothing, all you have to do is buy a new drive and re image :-)...

Absolutely :ditto:

Ya, Mike I figured you must have gotten the original 2080 Ti FTW3 that EVGA has been selling, for some reason there is now a card listed with a lower 1545 MHz spec.

And of course it`s been out of...

Maybe I should get one for my 4TB games drive :huh:

But so far I`ve never had any issues.

I rarely, if ever, use my W7 Samsung 960 Evo M.2, but I`ve been...

Download and use the download tool to get started, choose to save W10 as a Iso file, you are not gonna put it on a dvd or usb stick.

Download the 1809 Iso file, once you have it downloaded, open...

Good Find :thumbsup:
