    Good Morning to everyone. My name is antonio and i'm from Italy. I've Just purchased this wonderful dream machine and i love it :).
    Now , I had a problem with the installation of a video driver. During installation, the PC is locked and the screen went black. After waiting several minutes I was forced to a forced shutdown of the PC using the power button. Afterwards everything went perfectly. I ran a check of the logical drives C and D, and I did not detect any errors. Everything now works perfectly. My question is this: may i have ruined something with the forced shutdown of the PC via the power button? I made every possible scan but the logical drives are perfect. Can I feel comfortable? thanks in advance for your answers. Antonio

    My notebook: MSI GT73VR TITAN - 32GB DDR4 - GTX 1070 - MONITOR 17,4" FHD 120HX G-SYNC

    You should be fine, my system was bogged down at first run. I uninstall Norton and all the software I dont need. Installed the Windows 10 Anniversary update, then updated my Chipset and Intel RST drivers. Then updated my video card drivers and everything runs fine now.

    Malwarebytes free is good, make sure to remember scan every 4-5 days

    For paid antivirus try kaspersky
