Black screen while installing Nvidia drivers (GTX 260)

[eraelyniss]

When i install GTX 260 Drivers (342.01), the driver is installing for like a minute then the pc just show a black screen with the device plugged in sound then nothing appear on screen (i guess the windows froze too because theres no sound after that). The gtx is powered by a external psu (my 600w thermaltake powersupply isn't working with gpus for some reason).

Need a bit more detail, did the card work before? Can you test it with another system. If your power supply does not work when running video cards, you need to replace it. Unless you are not using the right cables or connections on it for the video cards.

A card crashing when drivers are installed for it is often a bad card, maybe power supply issue.

I use 2 power supply, one for the card and one for the system. I have tried to install it on an other pc and it get a pink screen.

Sounds like the card is bad. GTX 260 is pretty old now, especially for a video card.
