BSOD nvlddmkm win7

[GreyFox37]

I got the GeForce 980Ti from eVGA a month ago. Great card, gaming has been phenomenal, so nothing wrong there. I work from home so I keep my computer on 24/7. When I was logging into my network, I ran into my once in a while stuck in server issue so usually a reboot does it then I'm good. Sadly, when I reboot, I got the BSOD with the IRQL_LESS_OR_NOT_EQUAL with nvlddmkm being the culprit. I am using the 355.98 drivers. I've looked around for answers online but keep getting different stories. So far I have clean installed the drivers through safe mode. No dice. If anyone can assist, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you

Do you have a Logitech webcam?

No Webcams

Okay, have you tried running a driver sweeper program and then re-installing the drivers?

I will attempt that tonight when I get home from work. I am guessing I just un install the drivers and run the program? It's been a while since I've done this

Driver Sweeper didn't do it after I installed the latest driver...then I did this

I hook up an HDMI cable for my main and a DVI to VGA for my secondary

I noticed the HDMI monitor doesn't boot on until Windows 7 boots then the BSOD appears. So I go, interesting, let's see what happens if I let it boot on the old VGA monitor...BOOM

So after, I plug the HDMI in and no issues!

So...HDMI cable maybe needs to be replaced or is it a bug in the driver?

Very interesting, I haven't seen a HDMI cable case a problem like that before. Try a new cable, it is most likely the port on the card itself that is having the issue.
