Greeting valiant Overclockers. Having a bit of an issue which I'm hoping some of you might be able to help me with. Before I start, here are my system specs and the like:
Windows 10 64bit
MSI H81I LGA1150 Mini-ITX Motherboard
Intel Core i3 4170 3.7GHz
600w Modular EVGA PSU (can't remember the exact specs)
2x4 sticks of DDR3 ram
MSI GTX 980
(Let me know if I need to inform you of more)
So, I had the same problem with my old 960. Sometimes the display wouldn't register a signal from the card past the windows loading screen, just before the login. On the times I was able to get on, the drivers would seemingly crash and restart with a message like 'Kernel drivers ____ have stopped respondng but where recovered'. It would only happen once per session but was still very annoying.
I changed to a friends 760 and that worked absolutely fine so I just assumed it may have been faulty card.
However, I brought myself a 980 yesterday. Installed it and did the usual of a clean install of the drivers and it worked until I powered the system down. Next time I went to turn it on, nothing. Monitor not registering the hardware at all. Again, thought it might have been the card so I took it out, booted up in safe mode, uninstalled all drivers using a clean install program and tried again. Still nothing. So I was convinced it was the card by then but I tried rolling back the drivers anyway. That seemed to work for a time.
Then the drivers crashed and recovered again... after that it worked perfectly whilst the comp was on. But this morning before work I powered it back uo again to see if it was just temporary but now I'm having the same issue as before where I can't even get to the login screen...
It's almost like it's not getting enough power. But this can't be the case as it's the same error I was having when using a different 430w PSU with my 960. Maybe it's a problem with the Mobo? Or maybe it's just the most recent set of driver updates from Nvidia and I should rollback further... I'm just not sure anymore and I feel like I've tried literally everything.
Help me please!
