Hey everyone, so i tried to update to 10, but couldnt get my editing software working, so ive done a fresh install of 9… now installed everything like i did before & never had a problem… now if my screen is plugged into my NVIDIA card, i cant play videos ( if they do play sometimes they are jumpy ) & chrome only opens every 4th time you try… if i plug back into my motherboard, i dont have any problems at all… then if i plug back into nviida… all coems back again… does anyone have any suggestions??? could the drivers be different what what i used to have?? would a bios update of done that??? dunno where to start… ---

Is your desktop session xorg or wayland? Do you remember what your session was on your previous installation? ---
