PC won't POST after driver updates

[1100111010]

Hello everyone!

I recently ran into a problem with my PC not posting after installing motherboard drivers like built-in audio drivers and Intel RST drivers. And the same thing happens whenever I try to overclock my CPU (even without any drivers or OS installed). The PC powers on, but nothing happens, there are no beeps or anything like that. But when I disable the built-in audio and some other components from the bios, my PC boots normally...

This problem occurs with both Windows 7 and Windows 10. And everything was running fine just a few days ago.

My PC is almost 5 years old and it runs on a Intel 990X CPU on a Gigabyte X58 G1.Sniper board which is powered by a Corsair 1200watt PSU. It recently went through some upgrades including an upgrade to a GTX 980Ti and an Asus Wireless AC card.

What are your thoughts about this? I would really appreciate some help with this.

P.S. I'm sorry about my bad English.

Something else is going on, drivers are not doing anything until windows starts to load so cannot stop a pc from posting. Sounds like you have a hardware problem. I had read that the 980Ti wont work with older motherboards, worth doing a search encase others have the same problem

I also think it's a hardware problem, but I can't identify where the problem is. Is it the motherboard, CPU or the PSU? And I'm pretty sure my 980Ti is innocent, I've had this problem with my old GTX590 and even with an older low power AMD radeon 6450 GPU. I've been gaming on this PC with the 980Ti for a month now... no problems.

There's the solution then, right there.

Disable one thing at a time in BIOS Setup then check to see if the system will POST.
The last thing thing you disabled to get a successful POST, that's the faulty component.
