No, I always make clean installs with all programs and updates and drivers. The only backups I have of course is my data like music, pictures and more. Also I copy savegame folders.
I also have to say that the new mainboard seems to work fine, but that there comes new problems like its a chain of probelms with no end. Those are the current problems:
- Skype forces the GPU (MSI GTX 970 Gaming) to run in 1113MHZ clockspeed - this also makes high temps all time. I updated two days ago to the latest nvidia drivers and the problem has gone. Yesterday night the problems returned and I don't know why. I reinstalled Skype but id did not help. I made a clean reinstall of the GPU drivers and now it works. But I don't know what happend and I guess this can return then, when I don't know why this even happend. I haven't made any changes in the settings of the drivers, only the global setting Vsync adaptive I made. Nothing else. However now I chose adaptive Vsync for a few games.
- Without any reason I had new trojans on my computer and I don't understand how they could come into my PC. They were in C:/Temp and C:/Windows/SysWow64. I didn'T downloaded anything since I have the new system. Only thing that was downloaded were new updates in Steam or the Windows Updates. However I used a offline security update pack from July15, that I installed after I made the clean Windows-installation. So I prefent to get infected while updating online. So I don't know why the returned
- GTA 5 gets sometimes crashes when I am using MSAA settings. However I checked in internet and forums, but it looks like noone has this problems anymore (only in april/may).
Now I am neurotic as f***, checking alltime HWMonitor clocks of gpu, windows event viewer, checking for viruses. I hate that
