play00:52

wait for it there it is it's done

play00:54

system's gonna go black

play00:56

and that display port now is completely

play00:59

inactive watch i'm unplugging it i'm

play01:01

plugged into a different display port

play01:02

the screen will come back on but with

play01:04

the blue screen that didn't show up and

play01:06

that's when it had that video tdr

play01:07

failure now that time's not coming back

play01:09

on i showed you guys the blue screen a

play01:11

moment ago but that's fine here's what

play01:13

we're going to do we are going to show

play01:15

you guys how to fix this

play01:17

and most of your video card problems

play01:19

today

play01:20

we interrupt this video to bring you a

play01:21

special message from ifixit no we

play01:23

interrupt this interruption with this

play01:25

interruption about new stuff from my

play01:26

fixit pushing you grab this card but

play01:28

inventory sucks fix the inventory

play01:30

problems with ifixit whoa don't drop it

play01:34

can't fix that with that fixer just

play01:36

kidding yes you can

play01:37

wish you could take ifixit with you

play01:39

anywhere but your pockets aren't big

play01:40

enough introducing you more and then the

play01:42

new nino take them with you anywhere

play01:46

so can i fix it for your loved ones or

play01:47

just get them for yourself

play01:51

okay so the main thing we've got to do

play01:54

is we've got to download a utility

play01:55

called ddu now i know people right now

play01:57

oh really clickbait is ddu video no i

play01:59

want to demonstrate to you how important

play02:01

ddu actually is we've got a known good

play02:03

graphics card on here it's our rtx 2080

play02:07

what's happening right now is because we

play02:09

crashed several times

play02:12

on

play02:13

our startup

play02:15

uh it detected that it wasn't like there

play02:17

was a problem in windows

play02:19

the only way that you can get to safe

play02:22

mode which is where we're going to

play02:22

perform this fix

play02:24

is by either having a solid known

play02:26

working boot which as you guys see i got

play02:29

like all of six seconds to try and get

play02:30

that to work

play02:32

or

play02:33

have the system fail or crash like this

play02:35

more than once usually the third time

play02:38

will then initialize an automatic

play02:39

recovery option so what i'll show you

play02:41

first is how to get into this with the

play02:44

automatic recovery so we do advanced

play02:46

repair options go down to troubleshoot

play02:48

go down to advanced options go down to

play02:50

startup settings and then when you hit

play02:51

restart that will then give us

play02:53

our restart options if you do have a

play02:55

working system

play02:57

and you're just getting like blue

play02:58

screens or crashes with weird driver

play03:01

messages popping up with all kinds of

play03:02

gibberish you don't understand

play03:04

but your

play03:05

your windows is otherwise not locking up

play03:06

like we're demonstrating here you just

play03:08

hold left shift while going to clicking

play03:11

the windows key then clicking the power

play03:13

button left shift restart hold left

play03:16

shift until you see it says restarting

play03:18

and then you can let go it will then

play03:20

bring up this exact menu that i just

play03:21

showed you where we drilled down to this

play03:22

setting where we can get to startup

play03:24

settings so now that we're on the same

play03:26

page here

play03:27

the other thing you're going to need and

play03:28

if you

play03:29

don't have a system that will allow you

play03:31

to boot to windows you'll need to do

play03:33

a safe mode with networking

play03:36

or if you have another computer like a

play03:37

laptop or something with a usb drive get

play03:40

a usb stick and download

play03:42

ddu

play03:43

which is a driver or display driver

play03:45

uninstaller

play03:47

just do a google search ddu driver and

play03:50

then you'll find the install i'm not

play03:51

gonna put a link down below because

play03:52

every time i do that i accidentally end

play03:54

up ddossing whatever repository it is

play03:57

and because of how many of you are gonna

play03:58

download it i don't want to do that so

play03:59

you all can find different places to get

play04:01

it it's all essentially the same

play04:03

we are going to enable

play04:05

um

play04:06

enable safe mode with networking because

play04:08

i want to see if we can actually get it

play04:09

and download it from there because there

play04:10

is an update

play04:11

versus the version that we have now the

play04:13

reason why this might seem like such a

play04:16

simple fix

play04:17

both amd and nvidia drivers include in

play04:20

the options

play04:22

a clean install

play04:24

the problem is the clean install from

play04:26

within the driver installer

play04:28

is a placebo effect it's not truly

play04:31

wiping all of the registry keys it's not

play04:34

really wiping all of the files it's ripe

play04:37

wiping

play04:38

main driver components

play04:40

and ddls and such or dlls but it's not

play04:44

wiping everything and if you're not

play04:46

wiping everything and you start

play04:49

installing

play04:50

driver on top of driver on top of driver

play04:51

you're the kind of person that

play04:53

hey i every time a new game ready driver

play04:55

comes out or whatever they're calling it

play04:57

from amd you're just like installing so

play05:00

you're doing it every other week every

play05:01

time there's a new title there's a new

play05:02

driver you'd be surprised how stacked

play05:05

layered and corrupted that driver can

play05:06

become over time the best thing to do

play05:08

quite honestly if you're going to change

play05:09

your graphics card

play05:11

or update your driver is to do a true

play05:14

wipe of your driver first

play05:16

then install a clean install

play05:19

the other thing you're going to have to

play05:20

do

play05:21

before you can truly get a good clean

play05:23

install is you're going to have to one

play05:25

disable fast boot what what fastview

play05:28

essentially does is it kind of keeps a a

play05:31

profile running of the driver

play05:33

but it just applies that profile on the

play05:35

next boot regardless of what graphics

play05:37

card is placed in there so for instance

play05:38

if we had we have a 2080 on there right

play05:40

now and i was to take that 20 80 off of

play05:43

there and stick a 2080 ti on there of a

play05:45

different brand with a potentially

play05:46

different power limit different boost

play05:48

clocks and all that such

play05:50

it's going gonna apply the 2080 driver

play05:53

the way it's installed

play05:55

to the 2080 ti kind of ignoring what the

play05:58

v bios is saying it's capable of doing

play06:00

which can lead to crashes and such so

play06:02

it's something that i've noticed people

play06:04

do they'll buy a new graphics card

play06:06

whether they're updating from an old

play06:07

card to a new card but if they're of the

play06:09

same brand like nvidia or whatever

play06:11

they take their old card off they just

play06:12

plop the new one on and go hey it's

play06:14

nvidia it'll just work

play06:16

if fastboot's enabled it'll apply that

play06:18

old driver to it and you will get all

play06:20

sorts of weird weird issues

play06:22

it's sort of like when you port over an

play06:24

image to a new phone

play06:26

you got a new phone you back up the old

play06:28

image and you just copy it over to the

play06:29

new phone with the android or apple and

play06:31

you start seeing all kinds of weirdness

play06:32

happen where the best thing to honestly

play06:34

do is just a complete fresh wipe of

play06:36

everything to start from scratch it's

play06:38

kind of like

play06:39

the amount of people have told me that

play06:40

they've actually reinstalled windows to

play06:41

fix these types of problems that are

play06:43

completely unnecessary when these steps

play06:44

would truly fix it

play06:46

so the first thing we're going to do and

play06:47

i think we can access this in safe mode

play06:49

is we're going to do advanced

play06:53

system

play06:55

settings right here right

play06:57

so now we're going to do is we're going

play06:59

to also disable

play07:01

the automatic installer see the other

play07:04

half of this coin is right now if i d to

play07:06

you and wipe the driver in safe mode

play07:08

which you want to do in a safe mode

play07:09

that's the best place to get all the

play07:11

registries wiped because in safe mode

play07:12

nothing loads except the basic vga which

play07:14

is why it looks like this there's no

play07:15

desktop background image

play07:18

the bare

play07:19

basic drivers are loaded to make windows

play07:22

run which is basic vga adapter and all

play07:25

of that without any of the the brand

play07:26

drivers involved allow you to truly go

play07:29

in there and wipe the registry if any of

play07:30

those elements are still active in

play07:32

windows when it's trying to wipe it

play07:33

won't be able to do it because they're

play07:34

currently active so you have to do it in

play07:36

safe mode to completely wipe the

play07:37

registry correctly

play07:39

but what happens is if you leave the

play07:41

automatic downloaded installation of

play07:43

drivers on in windows when you put your

play07:45

graphics card on or you restart your

play07:47

system it's going to automatically

play07:49

reinstall an old version of the driver

play07:51

whatever the oldest

play07:53

wickle version is it's like really old

play07:54

452 in this instance we're currently on

play07:56

472. then you're stuck putting a new

play07:58

driver on top of an old driver again and

play08:00

although doing it from scratch from the

play08:02

basic first download to the latest

play08:04

driver is not as bad as having 15

play08:06

drivers stacked in between there it

play08:08

still kind of negates the purpose of why

play08:09

we're doing this video so we have to

play08:11

turn that off and do that you do

play08:12

advanced system setting properties we go

play08:15

to advanced

play08:17

hardware

play08:18

go down here to device installation

play08:21

settings

play08:23

and we want this do you want to

play08:24

automatically download download

play08:26

manufacturer's apps and custom icons

play08:28

available for your devices and we're

play08:29

going to say no

play08:30

save changes okay so now that we've

play08:32

disabled the automatic install um we

play08:35

also had i to to do the non

play08:38

like to disable the fastboot shutdown i

play08:40

mentioned we have to do that within the

play08:41

full version of windows not in safe mode

play08:43

which is fine

play08:44

what we're going to do now is we are

play08:45

going to go ahead and use ddu

play08:50

and again we're going to do this inside

play08:52

of

play08:55

safe mode now i'm downloading a latest

play08:57

version the latest version

play08:59

um

play09:00

is it's always recommended obviously to

play09:02

download the latest version so we've got

play09:04

our latest version we need to extract it

play09:06

it's going to extract ddu

play09:08

180 1804.4

play09:12

and now we can run that

play09:16

okay so we can kind of ignore

play09:19

all the typical stuff but this is where

play09:20

you can sort of determine what all you

play09:22

want it to remove so we can remove uh

play09:25

remove the driver filter if we want with

play09:27

amd stuff remove physics

play09:29

yes all of it because that will all

play09:31

reinstall with the new driver right

play09:32

store config file for roaming folder we

play09:34

don't want that

play09:37

prevent downloads from drivers from

play09:38

windows update when windows searches for

play09:40

device driver device we want that boom

play09:42

we don't want it downloading more stuff

play09:44

on us

play09:47

so now that we've done that go over here

play09:48

to device type you can use this for

play09:50

audio drivers as well but obviously for

play09:51

video we want to uninstall

play09:54

our amd drivers and nvidia drivers see

play09:56

our test bench we obviously put a lot of

play09:58

different hardware in there like i think

play10:00

we've had four different graphics cards

play10:01

on there today alone and every time we

play10:03

throw a new graphics card on there it

play10:05

reloads the driver or if we update the

play10:07

driver it goes on top of that particular

play10:09

profile if we switch to amd then it

play10:11

enables that driver because we had amd

play10:12

drivers and nvidia drivers so when i'm

play10:14

done with these types of tests i will go

play10:16

ahead and remove all the drivers and as

play10:17

you saw at the start of this video

play10:19

we had obviously a problem that we have

play10:20

to fix so this became a necessary

play10:23

procedure for us one that we were

play10:24

planning on showing you already it just

play10:26

happened

play10:27

rear and ugly bug head in the middle of

play10:30

shooting this video so we decided to go

play10:31

ahead and take you guys legitimately

play10:33

along for the ride on how we're fixing

play10:34

this

play10:36

so we're going to uninstall the gpu

play10:38

which is a nvidia driver and we're going

play10:39

to click clean and do not restart i just

play10:42

don't like it to automatically restart i

play10:43

like to do it myself this part can take

play10:46

several minutes two three five

play10:48

ten depending on how slow your system is

play10:50

and depending on how many old drivers

play10:52

and registry keys you have in your

play10:53

system so wait until it pops up and says

play10:56

complete because it might sit here for a

play10:58

while

play11:00

there might be times where it gets to

play11:01

the to the registry key portion and it's

play11:04

just sitting there and you'll think it

play11:05

froze it probably didn't just give it

play11:08

time it might take a few moments it will

play11:10

say it's done when it's done

play11:12

so we'll come back when it's ready

play11:13

all right so it tells us now clean

play11:15

uninstall completed would you like to

play11:17

exit now yes we're gonna exit

play11:20

which is fine they didn't exit for me

play11:22

and we're going to do a power cycle a

play11:24

shutdown not a restart

play11:26

um

play11:27

i find that restarts sometimes act weird

play11:29

after doing this so i prefer to do a

play11:31

full power cycle let it shut down

play11:34

walk your butt back over to your system

play11:36

or lean out of your chair or whatever it

play11:38

is and push the power button

play11:40

you know i've been debating actually

play11:41

wiring like a a power button under my

play11:44

desk

play11:45

at home

play11:46

because where it is with black ice it's

play11:47

like way over to the side so it could be

play11:49

like one of those emergency police call

play11:51

buttons for like a bank teller

play11:54

and then that turns on the pc and think

play11:56

about doing that the lifestyles of the

play11:58

fat and lazy

play12:00

[Music]

play12:05

okay so if it worked like we set it up

play12:08

it should not auto install the driver it

play12:10

should not but this is windows however

play12:14

it often will do whatever it wants

play12:16

anyway so i'm looking to see if install

play12:19

manager host or whatever appears to see

play12:22

and so far it doesn't appear to be

play12:27

installing anything

play12:29

system interrupts okay that's fine

play12:31

system iq

play12:34

corsair services have

play12:36

started people always give iq a hard

play12:38

time they use too much power now i mean

play12:40

look it's point one percent of the cpu

play12:43

it's they've really cleaned up 0.3.5 at

play12:45

the most 0.7

play12:47

they've really cleaned it up it's good

play12:49

um okay so

play12:52

i'm not seeing service host windows

play12:54

update

play12:55

i

play12:56

don't know

play12:59

if that's it trying to install it if it

play13:01

is then i'll be mad

play13:03

can i just end that task

play13:06

um yes shut down

play13:09

okay

play13:10

that's fine so now what i'm going to do

play13:12

is i'm going to go to the driver i

play13:14

downloaded

play13:16

which is 472.12 which is the latest

play13:19

because i don't want it auto installing

play13:21

the old one

play13:24

if the settings that we set were correct

play13:26

and by the way every time windows

play13:27

updates it kind of like re reactivates

play13:30

that whole download drivers

play13:32

automatically thing

play13:33

which is really annoying it's like how

play13:34

many times have you uninstalled one

play13:36

drive only to have windows updates put

play13:38

it back see how it's saying checking

play13:40

system compatibility if you had the

play13:41

driver installing in the background you

play13:43

would have had a red message pop up that

play13:44

says an installer is already running

play13:46

that's how you know windows is

play13:47

installing it for you already in the

play13:48

background you don't want that because

play13:50

it won't be the latest it'll be like 15

play13:52

versions behind

play13:54

i don't like to install geforce

play13:55

experience i don't like geforce

play13:57

experience agree and continue

play13:59

we can do express

play14:01

because we don't

play14:02

have any drivers installed now

play14:04

if you

play14:06

want you can click custom and when you

play14:08

go to next you can click perform a clean

play14:09

install the problem is almost everyone

play14:12

uses express for all their driver

play14:14

updates and that's what causes to the

play14:16

fragmented driver installation

play14:19

over itself a bunch of times it then

play14:21

starts to lead to problems

play14:24

so i'm going to let it clean install

play14:26

i think it's clean install there's no

play14:27

driver on there yet right if i right

play14:29

click the desktop

play14:30

there's no driver install

play14:34

so we'll wait for that to be done which

play14:35

can take you know a minute or two

play14:37

and it shouldn't need a reboot because

play14:39

there's no driver that i had to clean or

play14:40

remove first

play14:42

so

play14:43

then we can show you how to disable

play14:44

fastboot another way you can tell that

play14:46

that crash that we were experiencing

play14:47

with the black screen and then the blue

play14:49

screen that i showed you or the fact

play14:51

that it didn't come back on at all

play14:53

was driver related

play14:55

because no driver is loaded well it just

play14:57

loaded the driver now but no driver was

play14:58

loaded and nothing was freezing that

play15:00

should come back on see our windows is

play15:02

not crashing now

play15:04

so that's the kind of problem

play15:08

that someone would experience and be

play15:09

like what the heck something's wrong

play15:11

with my graphics card it said video

play15:13

failure i don't know and that's fine

play15:16

most people are not fluent in blue

play15:17

screen or understand the problem where

play15:19

sometimes the blue screen is just a

play15:20

symptom of a problem but not actually

play15:22

telling you what the problem is

play15:24

that was actually a clean driver install

play15:27

that we did right before this video went

play15:29

live

play15:30

only because i forgot to turn off the

play15:32

device you know installer that's

play15:34

automatic

play15:36

it corrupted it legitimately corrupted

play15:39

itself on camera

play15:42

and so we started this video over and i

play15:43

went hey because i forgot to turn that

play15:45

off something happened between the

play15:46

driver it actually installed on the

play15:48

download and me trying to install the

play15:50

new one it corrupted the driver and

play15:51

that's the experience we were getting so

play15:52

i accidentally created a situation where

play15:55

somebody that's not experienced with

play15:56

computers might have freaked the f out

play15:59

only i did it on accident and you can

play16:00

see now everything is perfectly fine

play16:01

with the system

play16:02

because we now have

play16:05

the proper

play16:06

latest driver installed on here with

play16:08

nothing underneath it

play16:10

472.12

play16:12

we're perfectly fine now we got to show

play16:13

you how to disable that fastboot so now

play16:15

we're going to do edit

play16:16

power plan

play16:18

power

play16:21

choose options

play16:21

the power buttons do now see how

play16:24

this right here was not showing up in

play16:27

safe mode that's because this is part of

play16:28

the regular windows install so you see

play16:30

how i had to click enable disabled stuff

play16:33

turn on fast startup recommended

play16:36

freak you microsoft that's not

play16:37

recommended trust me this is for if you

play16:42

value your system

play16:44

you would turn that off and just wait

play16:45

the few extra seconds it takes your

play16:47

system to boot so turn off fast startup

play16:50

that will stop if you have multiple

play16:52

graphics cards or you change your

play16:53

graphics card

play16:55

and then you it looks like the driver

play16:56

reinstalled itself and everything's fine

play16:57

it recognizes the card but it's actually

play16:59

applying the wrong profile to your card

play17:00

that can also cause problems because

play17:02

we've had overclocks try to apply or

play17:05

boost clocks

play17:06

that msi afterburner saves into the

play17:08

profiles of its of its system or its

play17:11

folders try to apply to a card that

play17:13

looks the same but isn't as stable at

play17:15

the higher core clocks because it might

play17:16

be a higher to your card and then you

play17:18

enable you enable crashing accidentally

play17:20

because of that button right there

play17:22

so there you go you can see everything

play17:24

is working now everything is fine

play17:27

that's how we deal with a lot of these

play17:29

graphics problems when i start getting

play17:30

any sort of weird problems you'll hear

play17:31

me say all right guys we got to ddu this

play17:33

we got to wipe it start from scratch

play17:35

wipe amd wipe intel wipe uh nvidia wipe

play17:37

all three

play17:39

and that will usually get us back up and

play17:41

running exactly as you saw here i hope

play17:42

this video has helped you if you know

play17:43

someone having graphics problems

play17:45

crashing in games getting weird error

play17:46

messages you may have to just share them

play17:49

this video

play17:50

i'm telling you nine out of 10 times

play17:52

this fixes the problem thanks for

play17:53

watching guys subscribe if you're new
