Graphics card not working with new motherbored

[ssmoorex]

I built a new pc for my girlfriend at the weekend and all worked fine until we got the graphics card. She was using a HD 6770 at first because her graphics card had not arrived from ebay and it all worked well. We then got the graphics card from ebay a GTX560ti 1gb. I uninstalled all the Ati drivers with Display Driver Uninstaller, turned off the pc and installed the new card. It worked, and I was able to install the new drivers from nvidia. This is where the problems start.

The windows aero would not work and is just a solid colour at the bottom, then we get a message when we boot windows saying " windows desktop manager has stopped working". I tried to troubleshoot windows aero and it says "graphics card unsupported" and finally every time we try to boot GTA5 that worked with the HD 6770 it pops up for about 1 second and then says GTA V has stopped working. I am not totally stuck and don't know what to do. The only drivers that work with the card are the ones we got with the disk but they are old 257.xx drivers from 2011 and games crash within about 10 mins when using them. I have also tried updating the bios but that did not fix the problem.

I tested the 560ti on my pc with the new nvidia drivers and it worked perfect.

Motherboard: Gigabyte Z97P-D3
CPU: Intel Core i5 4690K
RAM: HyperX FURY Series 8GB
PSU: EVGA Supernova 650W G1
Graphics Card: Gigabyte GTX 560 Ti 1 GB

Kind of an unbalanced build for gaming.
You are using windows 7 right?
I doubt it is a faulty card becuse you can get it to work with old drivers and it boots up, your psu is more than sufficient for the it and i dont think it is a motherboard related. Its probably a software problem, try reinstalling windows if you can.

It took a while to install windows and we are also on a limited download internet and have used most of it up downloading gta 5. If this is the only solution I will do it. We also only got the GTX560ti just now because we are £100 off getting a GTX970.

You could try tinkering with the drivers more, making sure abolutley everything else from amd and nvidia is wiped and installing them again, or maybe installing a older version from the nvidia website

Thanks will try that but will keep the post open for more possible solutions. Also windows 7 is asking to install SP1 so will try this see if it works, the update never shows earlier .
