So my CPU arrived earlier than expected, spent all day hooking it all up and installing drivers, got the Nvidia gtx 590 SLI driver installed and it now wont load after the windows boot screen, it shows the bios just fine but actually getting into windows it wont.

I have a asus z170 AR and from what i've heard it doesnt provide a safe mode for some stupid reason (thaaaanks asuuuus) also got an intel I5-6600K in there now so thats been fun
Is there any way i can re-install the driver without needing to go into windows or am i going to have to buy a new gpu?
n
UPDATE*: Well after removing the gpu i plugged the hdmi into the intergrated graphics slot and it booted up just fine, im gonna uninstall the nvidia driver and put it back in and re-install it for results

UPDATE*: Well it worked after i uninstalled the drivers but soon as i reinstalled them it broke again, is there anyway i could get my hands on an earlier GTX 590 2-way sli driver?

UPDATE*: After trying most of the older drivers its still broken, found some broken PCI drivers so i fixed them but the problem still persists.
Anyone know a fix to this issue?
I really dont want to spend 300-400 for a new nvidia gpu.
 
Solution
So since i last updated i installed windows 10 to see if that would work
Well it did but only for five minutes before halting to a stop.
I restarted the pc and it just froze at the load screen and considering the card was released a while ago the warranty would be down so i opened it up, couldn't find a single problem so i am coming to the conclusion that its dead, gonna go home today and smash it with a bat for fun.

Im just gonna replace it with the 1050ti being released tomorrow until i save enough money for a 1070.
Oh well, gaming with the integrated graphics for a week ;>;


god damnit

I got a Corsair TX850
 


Might not be the reason, does it work with only one card installed? If so. then yeah PSU doesn't offer enough.

You could always sell your 590's and go for 680 SLI if you don't have the money for a new PSU.
 


It's a 2 in one card, im not sure how to enable it to run only one 590...

Also if i sell it off it could end bad because i dont know if its broken or not
 


Ooh... I thought you had 2 590's.

A 590 is like 580 Dual GPU (580 SLI) and is simply only called 590 and not 590 SLI.
Having a single 590 only needs about 650w of power so that is not the issue. Back to step 1.
I would suggest installing Geforce Experience and getting the drivers from there.
 
with the onboard video make sure the mb bios is up to date and you have the newest intel chipset drivers installed. then try one gpu at a time to make sure both gpu work in the main video slot. if both do make sure in the bios you have primany display set to peg/pci and muilt monitor off so the mb does not turn off your gpu cards and trys posting from onboard video.
 


Still aint getting anything
