So earlier today I tried to add a second GTX 760 to my PC. Exact same model and i made sure my drivers were up to date. everything seemed fine until after I installed the second card. Then I got nothing but the windows error recovery screen. Startup repair wasn't able to help and if I start windows normally it will get to the Starting windows screen then back to error recovery :(.
What I have tried. - tried using one card in either PCIe slot and tried using only onboard video.
reset bios settings to default (were already default so couldnt hurt right?)
cleared CMOS and reset bios
taken out and reinstalled RAM
tried looking through advanced settings in bios but no luck.
tried booting in safe mode.
I'm starting to get really worried that I broke my computer. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated!
Not that hard, all you need is a USB stick of 4GB or greater, a working PC or laptop (to turn the .iso file into a working stick) and a tutorial
You don't need to really DO anything in Linux, if it boots to the desktop there we know it's a software or driver problem rather than a hardware problem.
Take your time. You'll need to download a linux .iso (Universal Usb Installer does allow you to go directly to Ubuntu's site where you can download one) and that takes some time.
It's 1:30 AM here though, so I probably won't be online for much longer. Still, plenty of US-based people who should be able to walk you through it if needed.
