Hi there,
I really need some help with my somewhat new system in my sig (+ a GTX 760). I build the stuff in my sig a month or two ago, running integrated graphics and it ran without many issues, the issues mainly came a week or so ago, after installing my new graphics card, the 760. I was running the same installation of windows as before, and installed the graphics card. The first couple of boots went fine, after installing the drivers. However, I then ran into problems. The first boot I logged in, and all that loaded in was asus gpu tweak. The rest of the screen was black, no win explorer or anything. Though fair enough, a hard reset should fix it. I restarted and was able to log in, albeit slowly. The next restart had the same problem, but just after the windows loading animation. Black screen, next few restarts had a blue screen. Reinstalled windows, installed all drivers etc and then I couldn't use add or remove programs to uninstall something, can't remember. Tried to reinstall windows again, and installed everything. Seemed mostly fine. However ran a game and got a weird thing where I'd get a few frames through, then the screen stopped for a few seconds, then a bit more, then stopped. I got the game to close, and the problem carried on. Then I got "nvidia drivers have stopped working and successfully recovered." Everything was then smooth. Ran that msi stress tester, similar problem but no driver crash. Reinstalled drivers numerous times, and tried a downgrade of drivers too. No change, so just ran it for general use but no gaming. Seemed okay, but got home today to try some advice someone gave me on the graphics cards forum. I downloaded the recommended tool, and restarted to enter safe mode. However, windows system repair started up. Restarted numerous times, same problem. I'm pretty bored and annoyed of having problems now, so just leaving it on my desk to get a proper fix. Can anyone help me with these problems, it must be the graphics card, but could it be the motherboard, or the SSD as well?? Any help is massively appreciated.
