Picked up a couple Nvidia cards to replace the 5700 XT's in the daily, everything went well until I loaded the Nvidia drivers, blacked screened and could not get back into windows, decided it was time for a fresh install.
The W10 I have for the daily is pretty early but it loaded up without problems but no drivers available for the 2080 replacements so started loading the updates. 1607 no problem anything later failed to load, which was interesting as after 1803/9 update I could no longer fold on the CPU and haven't been able with the following updates. After a little searching located a few things that maybe the problem.
Turned IOMMU off in BIOS no help, tried again loaded latest drivers for all the onboard devices after the 1607 update still nothing, removed the M2 drive & a VGA and loaded to the SATA drive on the system, (game drive going to spend some time on Steam), still no go. Downloaded W10 available through the installer still unable. Finally grabbed the W10 used for benching loaded windows without problems, happened to be the 1903 version, 1909 update loaded and finally had a working OS.
System folds on the CPU NOW! Now I have to deal with returning one of the open box 2080 Supers as it has no OpenCL or Cuda support shows up in windows and GPUz, folding sees it but disables it, Afterburner doesn't recognize it, so much for a folding boost.

yes 1607 is pretty old, much has changed since. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_10_version_historyI use the latest media creation tool and boot/install via USB flash drive, saves a lot of hassle trying to get things going. Now running 20H2. Strange thing you have there with the "extra" 2080, hope you get it sorted.

I looked at the wiki info but have not seen a reference to 20H2 or H1 through the updater in windows, are they like BETA or something, sorry I don't follow a lot of things as I get older.

We are all getting older. Sometimes the rule or wisdom, "If it works, do not touch it" takes over IME the updates come up in a random order, depending on usage, activity, hardware, location, bandwidth. You name it. If you recently went with 1909 it will take a short while before a "computer unit" is being offered a next update.

Vin I had something similar happen with 1903 didn't get the upgrade till a month or so after everyone was talking about it.
Cleaned the fingers with some alcohol on the mentioned card installed in slot one took right off, got both running now, though watching it like a hawk for the next couple of hours.

I would as well. as for windows update. to not flood their server they time the updates as far as 6 months (that I've read) but you can opt-in by going to your Windows Update and manually clicking "Update". once you do that. it will force the update and you could also likely get the most current build that isn't even released yet.
I'm just surprised as I have not waited longer than 30-45 days in the past...
