GTX570 driver problems

[rhayden]

MOBO: ASRock Z68 EXTREME4 GEN3
GPU: ASUS ENGTX570 DCII/2DIS/1280MD5 GeForce GTX 570 (Fermi)
CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K


I just received all my parts and built my pc. It ran smoothly at first. Installed all the drivers okay. Then after a few hours of use, I received a message saying the graphics display drivers have stopped working unexpectedly. A few more error messages like that and my pc black screened and shut down. I reformatted my hdd. Now as soon as I install my graphics drivers, when it does the restart after, it shows artifacting on the windows login window and will crash and soon as it is opened windows. By crash I mean it will be logging in, and then my moniter says no input. All the lights are still on in my case, just no output at all. I can only log in on safe mode and I have uninstalled drivers, reinstalled them from numerous sources only to receive the same exact problem. As soon as I install those drivers, it can only start up in safe mode.

So my question is: How do I fix this!? mobo or gpu problem?
Thanks.

Ok you are getting somewhere , right click the desktop is it in that menu?
Maybe worth a try , download msi afterburner and drop the clocks , make sure you check the box to apply settings on start up, see if that can get the card working.

I can't access the control panel in safe mode. And I downloaded msi afterburner but when i open it, it says failed to load RTCore64.sys driver

what drivers did you try?, before we get you to mess with "ASUS RMA Process" which from what i hear is a pain in the tail. but tell me what driver you used. i may can fix the driver now. but i can contact NVDIA Dev team and let them know to look into it on next Driver set. Now your card is most likely RMA status already because its mostly factory overclocked cards that get the "driver stopped working" message.

I tried the Nvidia Graphics Driver 267.85 from the Nvidia website.

So i was doing some research, and I guess MSI afterburner stores it's settings on the OS. I have since completely reformatted my hdd. So I think?? The OC settings are no longer there. Or maybe I'm completely wrong.

Okay so I was able to get the newest drivers 290.10 version and I was able to start it up not in safe mode with drivers installed. However it still says with MSI afterburner and the Nvidia control panel that there is no Nvidia GPU recognized.

It's right there in my case, attached, correctly plugged in. I have no idea. And the device manager is giving me a code 43 on the graphics card. "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43).

At this stage, I would return it, if it is within window, or RMA if not, for peace of mind. It seems that you may have some more trouble in the future even if you can fix it now.

Once the previous GTX 460 was riddled with hiccuping, even after I had already cut UPC code from the box and sent it for rebate, I went to the Microcenter store and got refund minus the rebate money. Of course I receive the rebate a few weeks later.
