Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately this is a Win10box from MSI trying to run Elden Ring thru Steam. It exceeds the specs to run the game, everything is updated, etc but it hilariously white screens within seconds of starting the game. We have so far managed to optimize the thing to the point where the white screen that had taken 15-20 seconds now occurs in less than 5. Saves a lot of time when your crashes happen faster so you can move on to the next potential issue without losing those valuable seconds. It's gonna be a real treat dinking around with this later since I only know the sequence of the troubleshooting that I walked him through so I may need to unwind some of the stuff he did before he broke down and asked for help.
