Hi guys,

I had a previous thread about this but decided to create a new one. I am having issues ever since I uninstalled my GPU drivers and installed new ones. The PC constantly crashes on 19% through and requires a hard restart, it is also crashing on Driver Sweeper aswell.

I decided to completely delete my partitions and re-inatall windows thinking it would eliminate the issue but still continues, also with failing updates this time round. I have tried pulling out RAM, GPU, running HDD, CPU and RAM tests with no fails appearing on screen so can't quite figure what it is??

Anyone got any ideas, as this is getting quite frustrating?

Thanks,
Tom
 
You uninstalled GPU drivers and installed new ones? Were you putting in a new GPU? If so I'd look at that.

Just wondering why it wasn't a normal update for the drivers.
 
Cheers for the replies guys, I normally un-install the previous driver before installing a new one. Also removed my over clocks and set the bios to optimal default.
 
I have done another re-install of windows but this time its crashing every time I get onto the desktop as the windows update is automatically installing a display driver....

Have you tried installing the older driver which was working before you started all this?

Yeah, I had the second from the newest which was the 16.9.2. Tried re-installing that and it still crashes, the screen flickers and goes black like a normal installation but crashes when it goes back to normal screen.
 
Okay, I managed to get all the windows updates done now so everything is up to date. I am able to use the PC freely without crashes but as soon as I scan for hardware changes within device manager or try and install display drivers it crashes.
 
The only time I've had similar symptoms was a dodgy GPU.

With basic windows drivers it wasn't pushing the GPUs capabilities so no crashes. With proper drivers it would work, then I'd get artefacts, then I'd get crashes.

It was a 8800GTX which I then decided to bake. That solved the problem for a few months, when it came back I binned it.

Anyway, that's the only similar experience I have like this, good luck with your fault finding.

Cheers mate, I just downloaded GPU-Z to see my GPU BIOS as people were mentioning that you can update your VGA bios on the GPU and that could be the cause. Just opened GPU-Z and I get this error message:
"The OpenCL libary crashed while scanning for OpenCL support, GPU-Z is skipping OpenCL detection.
Uninstallling and re-installing display drivers might solve this problem."

Could this be a hint to what the issue is, anyone got ideas?

Removed the GPU's and ran a HDMI cable from the mobo to see if the integrated graphics have anything to do with it. Booted into safe mode, entered device manager, could not see anything listed under display adapters so clicked on "scan for hardware changes" and there you go again, it crashed.
Looks to me that it is not the GPU's if it is crashing without them in and running from the mobo.

I then put the GPU's back in but kept the HDMI cable in which then it would not show anything on screen, is this normal when the GPU's are plugged in?
After not being able to see the screen, I unplugged the HDMI and put the DVI into the GPU and booted up fine. Entered Device manager and it shows both GPU's but no Intel Integrated Graphics.

I am now lead to believe that it is something other than the GPU's as it was crashing without them in but what could it be? :/

Managed to get the driver installed but now it freezes up everytime I get onto the desktop. Going to try wiping it all of and install again...
 
Opening this thread back up as I have had issues with the laptop and am going back to this PC to sort out. I have now installed windows over and over again around 6-8 times and it still crashes so it cannot be the OS.

I have also tried disconnecting the SATA cable from the DVD drive, taking off the OC, rolling back drivers, disabling dynamic tick etc. Someone mentioned disabling HPET but I cannot find it within the BIOS. I thought it might to do with the GPU's but I disconnected them and plugged a HDMI into the onboard graphics and it still crashes...

Normally it only crashes on "scanning for new hardware" within Device Manager and trying to install GPU drivers, anyone got any ideas before I start pulling it apart and rebuilding it as a last resort? Haha
