Hi guys,
Having some weird problems with a brand new build that I've not seen before tbh.

Building the system for a friend and basically, run into issues as soon as I try to install graphics drivers.

So basically here's the build, straight out the box, put it together, installed windows, mobo drivers etc.
When I try to install the Nvidia drivers, the screen goes all artifacty mid way through and then I get a solid yellow/green screen. I then need to restart the computer and the system reverts back to Microsoft Basic Display adapter and everything looks normal again.

I've tried a couple of different driver versions, and none seem to install successfully.

It's been a few years since I've been in the pc building game so wondering if I'm missing anything obvious! Stumped tbh.

AMD Piledriver FX-8 Eight Core 9590 Blk Ed 4.70GHz (5.00GHz Turbo)
Asus GeForce GTX 970 TURBO OC 4096MB GDDR5
Corsair Builder Series CX 600W Power Supply
Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0 AMD 990X (Socket AM3+) DDR3 ATX Motherboard
Kingston HyperX Beast 16GB (2x8GB) PC3-17100C11 2133MHz

Any suggestions? Or hardware incompatibilities I've missed?
Thanks
 
Psu should be fine. Sounds like the memory on the card could be borked. What operating system you're running? I know it sounds daft but, both Pcie powers fully plugged into the card?

Starting to suspect it could be faulty graphics card but hoping im wrong =(
Running Windows 8.1.

Both PCIe powers? Got the 8pin PCI-e power cord in there, thats it right? :S

Yes the 8pin plug. Is there only one powering that card? Couple of things to try. Check if your motherboards running the latest bios. Might be worth running a driver clean just in case you've pulled anything buggy down with a driver install.

DDU Cleaner to use.

If it has an 8 and a 6 pin socket it needs both.

The 970's are very efficient cards, just one of the many reasons why they're so popular. Most come with a 6 & 8 pin power, yours in particular just comes with one 8 pin. Nothing to get alarmed about.
 
Ok great thanks guys. I will try updating bios. This also occurs after a fresh install of windows, as soon as I try to install the graphics drivers everything goes **** up on the screen so not shre if driver cleaner will help but I will also try :S

Fingers crossed
 
After you have updated the motherboard bios try installing just the Nvidia driver and not all the other garbage that they bundle with it and see if that makes a difference.
