Warning!!!! Windows 10!

[BoutThemDawgs]

As a Precautionary message to my fellow Dawgs who enjoy video games of the PC variety, if you have an NVIDIA graphics card, DO NOT UPGRADE to Windows 10. It is absolutely bricking, a term that means making it a fancy metal and plastic paperweight, Nvidia cards, it very well might have done it to mine. (The bad thing about it for me is I have a laptop, you can almost never change motherboard related parts on laptops. Not that I could afford a new graphics card anyway.)

The big problem is stemming from Windows 10 mandatory updates, which is conflicting majorly with Nvidia's already existing update system.

Anyway, unless you want to shell out money for a new card, do not upgrade to Windows 10 until this mess gets rectified.

I've been running a GTX 970 and Windows 10 since launch. No issues.

HA HA HA HA..... no, I'm not a design student or a hipster :P But no the problem is mainly affecting laptops, but not solely.

Won't be the last time their update stance is going to bite them in the ass.

Luckily I fixed my card and computer by full resetting to factory defaults, but this means I lost all 3rd party programs and files.
