Just built my first computer, installed graphics card drivers but I can't play, for some reason. Game doesn't open after I start it in Steam though, it shows that I'm ingame but the game isn't open. (The game is open in the task manager though)

What did I miss? Never built a computer before so I don't know what to install from scratch.

My components:
i5-6600k
Asus GTX 1070 Strix
Z170 Pro Gaming

You forgot to install the drivers.
>>
Youre computer is booting and running, which is good. Check if all drivers are properly installed
>>
Try taking your GPU out to see it the CPU's integrated graphics work properly, then you'll at least know whether it's a GPU issue or not

Which drivers do I even need to install, other than graphics card drivers? I have GeForce Experience which should install the graphics card drivers.
>>
what game is it?
>>
You need to download more ram to "lube up" (a little tech talk) the electronic circuits you just put together
>>
>>55442156
mobo drivers and windows updates and what steam game?
>>
>>55442163
CSGO.
>>
You need to flash it with 1080 bios.

>>
>>55442185
Where do I get the mobo drivers? I'm afraid of using the delivered CD from the box. You know why? Because when I installed it earlier today from the CD, Windows got completely fucked. Whenever I booted up, it'd freeze immediately. I tried using secure mode, which worked but I couldn't fix it so I just completely formatted my SSD with Windows and installed it anew. Game is CSGO, Windows Update will be installed now.

>>55442222
I play other games too, m8.

>>55442203
What does that even mean?

Update to windows 10.

>>55442241
No, I dislike the design and I'm used to win7.

How does that have anything to do with >>55442312

Are you trying to say that somehow in DX11 games the GTX 1070 fares worse than in DX12 games?

That's one hell of a twist.
>>
You sure you installed the right driver senpai? I remember an evga card not having actual driver on the CD given.

Maybe im wrong since that's the one time I installed a nvidia card. Try checking the nvidia website for drivers

God damnit/v/ you stupid moron. Your GPU's not even connected to anything if your mobo's driver's aren't there.

>it MUST be the same person RIGHT

I don't even have a GPU currently. OP is mentally challenged, so are you.

Return the parts and buy a PS4. If you can't install the fool-proof Nvidia drivers you're too stupid to use a computer.

>>55441991
You forgot to install gentoo

>>55442557
Yeah, it's totally my fault. It even showed me that the installation was successful and that I should reboot. I did, it doesn't work. How is it my fault?

Probably one of those people who thinks he needs to get 240 FPS at 4K and then he will suddenly be amazing at the game for no other reason than he put more money in. Really you can dominate with 1920x1080 60FPS if you are good.

>>55442603

Because at the first sign of failure you went to shit up this board instead of doing your own research like a normal person interested in maintaining and understanding how their new expensive toy works

Don't project your money issues and inferiority complex on OP, it's rude.
>>
>>55441991
Here's a good guide showing a few things you need to get right to get it working: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/NVidia/nvidia-drivers

Basically, all you should have to do is add
VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia"
to your /etc/portage/make.conf.
