Hello, i’ve been having some issues with my pc in the past week. There is nothing sees to work and no idea what could be the issue. My boot won’t boot with my gpu after installing the drivers. After passing bios it starts loading and after the screen goes black and all the usb ports disconnects from the montherboard for a good 20second. If i wait longer apx. 2min the screen shows the windows login screen but it’s all blurry. If I uninstall the drivers the pc boots just fine with no issues at all. If i boot to linux has no problem as well.
Here is some picture what exactly happens. Msi Afterburner was downloaded and i was messing with the program for few good minutes, but I don’t remember overclocking it.

Solution
it could be faulty GPU or maxwell specific issue. though my GTX970 still work just fine even with the second latest driver from nvidia right now. since changing the GPU solve the issue it might be the GPU itself. btw why not go with much faster GPU? 1070ti is only a small step from 980ti.
