Question PC Crashes after installing Graphics drivers, new pc.

[SetrixHD]

I've just built a new system & installed windows. Pc runs fine but as soon as i install the nvidia graphics driver it will keep crashing. Black screen appears. And then windows cant repair the system. I have to reboot a few time and then the driver seems to uninstall by itself as the screen goes back into 360p resolution (as if no driver is installed)

I cant understand why its happening. Ive installed windows a few times to see if it helps but nope.


RTX 4090

I9 13900k

Please can someone help figure out why it crashes.

The obvious question is what is the PSU? Those are some really hungry parts. I hope you got a quality PSU large enough to handle those.

That it runs ok until drivers are loaded to me suggests the GPU is bad. Unless you are running a trouble low power garbage PSU it shouldn't crash until you try to play a game. Just loading windows with drivers and getting crashes is either bad windows install, or bad card. And you said you already loaded windows more than once. There are odd chances it's a bios issue or not fully seated, etc. But I'd try the card in another machine and see if the problem moves with it.

I picked them manually from nvida website yes, i tried some older ones. They lasted a little longer but still crashes after a few minutes

Ive tried,

A different power cable for the graphics card.
Taking the GPU out and put back in the slot.
Removing XMP for ram
Different versions of GPU drivers.

Still no luck, just crashes.

Again, still sounds like a bad card. Move it to a different machine and see if the problem continues or moves with the card.
