Yes it is. Since the reinstall the problems seems to have gone, just wasn’t sure if the cause is using GCC to install driversIs this a PCS system? Could you please post the full specs from your orders page?

Did you clean install? Is there any missing driver? Could you please post a screenshot of your device manager?
It was a clean install. GPU drivers I always install via the Nvidia App or the website & this is my device manager. Its showing all the drivers are already installed
So, your issue may have been caused by Norton, which is a malware. I hope you did not reinstall it.
That was never installed before my windows reinstall as I normally use the one that’s already built into windows.So, your issue may have been caused by Norton, which is a malware. I hope you did not reinstall it.
It's listed in the specs you provided, so it was installed when you received the PC.
I made sure it wasn’t installed this time round. None of the updates from GCC have been installed as it’s unclear yet if that was the cause of the issues.It's listed in the specs you provided, so it was installed when you received the PC.
Anyway, everything seems to be okay, at least on the software side.
You wouldn't use anything via GCC, always windows update and then manually if necessary from the motherboard downloads page, and manually install GPU drivers.
What method did you take to clean install btw?
Reset windows & remove everything. Didnt have a spare USB drive to do it from a bootable usb drive.
So, you didn't clean install; Windows reset won’t fix anything, I'm surprised you're not having issues, but that's better.
That’s not a clean install so won’t help with anything
It was my only option cause I didn’t have a spare USB drive to use it as a bootable USB drive. If there’s anymore issues with my PC I will buy one & reinstall windows that way.
Point is it's not a clean install, so isn't the correct method for what you're trying to do.
Will have to see if the issue I was getting pops up again as of now it hasn’t. And I don’t unfortunately only a 2TB external hard drive but it contains data on it. Using a CD/DVD wouldn’t be another option either as my pc doesn’t have a disc drive.
So you need to stock up, can’t manage a pc without external media. USB Keys are really cheap these days, only need minimum of 8Gb for windows installer
I ended up backing up the data I had on my external driving & using that instead to reinstall windows from the bootable drive as my PC starting experiencing issues again & had about 4 BOSDs. I also turned off the option for GCC in the bios so it won’t install it. And downloaded drivers from windows updates & from my motherboard website. I also completely wiped the drive before reinstalling windows on it.
