So I got a new rig with an Nvidia GTS 450 and everything has been up and running save for the video card itself (currently using onboard one).
After I install the drivers, everything starts running as usual, BIOS loads up and then the "Starting Windows" splash screen. However, right after that screen is gone, it gets a BSOD.
I kept trying with older drivers, and so far I've I found a version of the drivers for the card that do not cause a BSOD after the Starting Windows screen (ver. 275.33 specifically) At that point though, the monitor loses signal, yet you can still hear the Windows start up noise as it would normally play. I have tried plugging in the monitor in both DVI ports, but the monitor remains with no signal.
I can go into Safe Mode just fine, though I cannot start Windows normally without uninstalling the card. I am using a 20 inch Asus LED VE208 monitor.
Specs
Motherboard = AMD 880G AM3 DDR3
CPU = AMD Athlon II X3 440 3.0GHz Triple Core
Memory = 8GB DDR3 1333MHz G-Skill RipJaws
Power Supply = HEC HP485D 485W ATX
Running on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
