Incoming wall of text but if anyone can help me this i would be very appreciative.
I just ordered an OcUK GTX 470 (which happened to be a PNY version) to go with my existing Zotac GTX 470 (reference design) to use in SLi, as soon as i added the new card (OcUK one) my PC cant boot and blue screens immediately after logging in the error is:
0x00000116
nvlddmkm.sys
I then tried to boot into safe mode and upon windows loading my rig just hangs and i get a black screen, i took the OcUK card out and my rig boots fine then i uninstalled nvidia drivers downloaded the latest ones (258.62) ran driver cleaner and then put the OcUK one back in my rig, this time i can get a little further in windows i start the nvidia driver install and then get a black screen which causes my PC to hang again, i then swapped what slot the cards are so the OcUK card is in slot 1 and my Zotac card is in slot 2 and have the same issue.
I then take the OcUK card out so it’s just my Zotac GTX 470 in the system and the nvidia driver installs fine, so i then put only the PNY card back in the system and get the same blue screen again.
I have literally tried everything to get this card to work, updated to latest BIOS, updated motherboard drivers, disabled on board audio (i read somewhere that it could cause an issue), loaded fail safe defaults in the BIOS, about the only thing i have not done is a clean install of Windows 7 which i am not in the position to do at the moment.
I really don’t want the hassle of having to RMA this card so if anyone has any suggestions that would be great.
