Hi CHKDSK did not really help. I did discover something new thou I downloaded I-Disk to check which files are using up the space. It revealed something weird. There are two locations: C:/Windows/system32/config/systemprofile/appdata/local/avg2014/dump (occupying 78.15 GB)...

Hi guys. My C drive has a total space of 146 GB. Out of that, if I right click and check the size of the folders (including hidden), around 50 GB is used. Windows, however, shows that there is only 12.4 GB of free space on my hard drive (around 83.6 GB is utilized by something I am not aware...

Yeah the setting still reverts. I did the optimized defaults thing. The only real setting that I have to change is setting my hard drive to IDE as opposed to AHCI (does not let system boot). So my motherboard has two PCIE. The video card did work the first time I changed it. The secondary...

Alright. Flashed with the most recent bios. Graphic Card is still not being detected. :( Sadly, I do not have another mobo to plug in the graphic card.

Okay. WIll try this. So my MOBO has a feature in the bios to update from UPS. Before that do I need to reset cmos again? Or can I just do that right now without any other prep?

Are bios updates cumulative? Should I just do the most recent one? Or do I have to do all that were released since my current bios version?

Yeah I have never updated my bios. I have heard its risky. Should I try it? I have heard that your motherboard can basically turn to brick...

I also downloaded the Asus PC diagnostics tool. It shows that both the PCIE slots are functioning normally. The computer just does not detect the GPU but at random times (and then the GPU works perfectly) and after a shutdown/restart GPU stops getting detected-till it randomly appears again.

I have a Corsair 600 Watts power supply. I checked my volts they were between the +-5% range. The difference is only am/pm. Time and date are correct. The am/pm difference appears randomly too. The GTX 670 is still not being detected. I can try and change the CMOS battery (is this easily...

Hi. So as expected after a shutdown and start, the graphic card GTX 670 was again not detected (and system went back to Intel HD). I then did a CMOS reset, however, it has not helped either. At the moment the system is on Intel HD. Now I am not sure that what could possibly be causing problems...

So the way I have setup my computer, I have both the graphics card and motherboard plugged to the monitor. So I pretty much always get some output on the monitor (depending on what is active-the onboard graphics or pcie graphics). Also, suddenly, out of the blue, after windows had been running...

Hi. So I unplugged my GPU and cleared out any dust in all the locations mentioned and securely put the power supply cord back. After turning my computer on something strange happened. My Intel HD Graphics was no longer detected. The device manager just shows VGA adapter and the GTX 670 is still...

Hi VirtualLarry. Yes. The next time I enter BIOS the setting has reverted from PCI-E to AUTO. To check whether it was cmos battery issue, I changed one other harmless setting too...but the bios seems to remember that.

Hi ketchup79. Thank you for the prompt reply. I will do this and post an update in the coming days.

Hi guys. I have an Asus P8Z68-V LE motherboard and a GTX 670. Up till two days ago everything was functioning perfectly - and has been functioning perfectly for 1.5 years (I was using Nvidia 335.23 driver). I then updated the driver to the more recently released 337.88 version-Clean Install...
