Monitor losing signal after installing GPU drivers

[Moskiz]

Every time i install the GPU drivers for my Zotac GTX 780, the computer starts crashing a minute or two after the boot. I can access the desktop for a short period of time before the monitor goes black and/or loses signal.
There are no problems when not having any GPU drivers installed.

I have tried the following;
* Installing older GPU drivers (wiped all old files both manually and by using software)
* Reinstalling the OS (changing from win8.1 to win7)
* Turned off automatic Windows Update so that they don't interfere with NVIDIA's (GPU drivers)

I got in for five minutes, thinking I had solved it, but instead I got the error message "Display Driver Stopped Responding and has recovered" twice before the monitor showed "No signal"

Strange that you got into the desktop for a short while, I have the no signal problem with my gtx 980 but cannot get to desktop at all without uninstalling the gpu

Is your fan working properly and if you have dust inside clean it (Dust holds the heat and when it gets on the gpu it gets hot)?
