the memory issue is strange because i used different ram and got the same problems before.
oh i see what you mean, one drive is automatically showing those games. Yes, one drive tends to just download some stuff to itself when i don't intend it to which is annoying, however, i have redownloaded the game im using to test this which is hogwarts.
The computer crashed multiple times and failed to install updates multiple times but eventually, it installed the windows updates entirely it seems:
so since windows appears to be updated, i put my GPU in the computer and installed geforce experience, but i am still getting the failed installation errors:
And just for the record, some of the event viewer errors show this:
Maybe there is an issue with my pcie slot?
going to try a different slot shortly.
For the installation question, i have the windows 11 usb drive so i didnt bother making a media creation iso. Do you think that would make a difference?
thanks again.
*edit*
i swapped the card to the other pcie lane and the drivers installed, however, this did not fix the game crashing when booting up hogwarts when the shaders started loading. same thing with callisto and other dx12/shader games:
