    Question Graphics card/driver causing black screen and sometimes BSODs.

    I didn't think this was relevant before but I feel that I should mention the card is also a ViewMax/NVIDIA card.

    Question Graphics card/driver causing black screen and sometimes BSODs.

    I went back to the page where I bought the card from and they aren't currently selling them anymore but I will still contact Amazon. Would there be anyway to actually see what the card really is?

    Question Graphics card/driver causing black screen and sometimes BSODs.

    Oh sorry, I previously had an old NVIDIA GT 220 which started overheating. I just downloaded GPU-Z and came across something immediately.

    Question Graphics card/driver causing black screen and sometimes BSODs.

    Outside of these issues the card was fine. The installation DvD that came with it didn't work though, I don't know if that's relevant.

    Question Graphics card/driver causing black screen and sometimes BSODs.

    I forgot to mention another issue. Sometimes while just on Chrome, it will go black and I will get a notification that says it has been blocked from accessing the graphics hardware.

    Question Graphics card/driver causing black screen and sometimes BSODs.

    I haven't checked the BIOS or the motherboard but Windows 10 was clean installed the other day (a couple times), everything is at good temperatures (just checked on Speccy), and all the fans are okay. I will check the BIOS and the motherboard. The PC is pretty old thought so I would guess that...

    Question Graphic driver installers causing BSOD

    I recently bought a brand new Nvidia GeForce GT 720 graphics card from Amazon. The installation disc that came with it did not work so I figured I'd install the drivers myself from GeForce or View Max.

    Question Trying to upgrade to windows 10

    I am currently using a computer that has windows 8.1. I cleanly reinstalled windows 8.1 today in an attempt to fix some issues but it did not work because some of what I use was made for windows 10 (i.e. my graphics card).

    I don't have any other computers I can try it on, no. I forgot to include this earlier though, I got an error earlier when it crashed.
