For those who use High Dynamic Range Displays, Nvidia has released a GPU firmware update tool that may be of interest to you; http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/nvidia-releases-firmware-update-tool-to-support-displayport-1-3-and-1-4-displays.html

Make sure none of your sound settings were changed after the update (sometimes reverts to default setting after Windows 10 updates). Specifically make sure "stereo mix" is enabled. 1 go to the control panel2 go to hardware and sound 3 then double click sound4 then click the recording tab5 when u have done that right click and then select show disable devices6 then when stereo mix comes up enable it

Have you gone through your power settings to make sure they were not set to defaults?

I never install major updates through Windows Update, always use Windows 10 Update Assistant. After these major OS updates A lot of settings are returned to defaults and standard Microsoft drivers. It's a good idea to have all your drivers downloaded before the update. You can also use the Media Creation Tool to create installation media for a clean install of the latest build. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 In an email sent to my Microsoft account about a month ago was Microsoft's updated Terms of Use policy. It basically said that if your not happy with Windows you can always uninstall and use something else.

Version 1803 issues with Intel ssd's; http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/windows-10-april-2018-update-causes-bootloops-on-systems-with-specific-intel-ssds.html Just received a cumulative update for version 1803 and in the description of the update the Intel ssd's are identified as Intel Pro 6000p Series and Intel 600p series. There are some reporting same issue with other ssd's such as Samsung, Plextor and Corsair.

Here is an update on the fixes coming; http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/intel-has-to-delays-patches-for-new-spectre-ng-vulnerabilities.html

Windows 10 version 1803 has released again, now called "Windows 10 April 2018 Update". Updated 4 pc's with windows 10 upgrade advisor and all went smooth. Seems like the easiest update so far.

If the bios update does not help, run Display Driver Uninstaller and reinstall your current driver. DDU will completely uninstall the graphics driver and leave no leftover files and will let you start with a fresh driver.

It's not always drivers, bad memory can cause this too.

Have you run memtest to check your memory?

Have used this for a long time, great tool

DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) will uninstall drivers and clean everything. No need to search for leftovers, and it's free.

I would start with a driver reinstall. I've always used this program to reinstall drivers and never had a problem. No need to use add remove programs as this tool will do it all, has solved a lot of problems for lots of people; http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

I always pick Custom Installation and never install GeFarce Experience

After you straighten the joist,if the floor is questionable and you don't want to get into footer work, you could take advantage of the alcove for support and bolt a piece of steel and gluelamb to the existing joist bearing on the alcove block walls thus not requiring any jack posts.

Agree with jester. If the floor isn't good enough to support the jack posts, cut a section out and poor a footer.

Have something similar for my Henry 22mag, works well

Have you updated your LAN driver? You could try a wireless adapter to rule out a failing LAN card. If you have the Asus AP on your phone you can monitor your connection while gaming to troubleshoot.

I like the kill beers perk, very satisfying

Keep in mind that along with the Windows update, to be totally protected, a motherboard firmware update is also required. Then comes the real slow down. Gigabyte currently offering firmware updates for 6th, 7th and 8th generation platforms and x99, x299 platforms. https://www.gigabyte.com/MicroSite/481/intel-sa-00088.html

From Microsoft; "Microsoft will temporarily pause Windows OS updates to devices with impacted AMD processors at this time."
