Hi, on Tuesday I bought a PNY GEFORCE GTX 970 and i installed it with no problem at all. When i turned it on i see that the screen says "preparing automatic repairing" so I left it on for a couple of hours and i saw that it was still saying preparing automatic repairing. So i turned it off and turned it on again and it was still saying that. The next day i left my computer on from 7am to 2pm to see if something would change but when i came back home it was still saying the same thing. Later that day I just decided to uninstall the graphics card and install it again and it started working it went it stopped saying preparing automatic repairing and i started to play games and doing whatever I do. Later I turn it off because I had to go somewhere. When i come back I turned on the computer and it had the Windows sign but it nothing was happening. I waited 5 minutes and it was still like that, so I restarted the computer to see if it would do anything. When i turn it back on, it went back to saying "preparing automatic repairing" I honestly dont know what to do about this. Whoever can help, please.

You did not install it correctly...did you remove ALL other graphics drivers before installing the new card? Did you use the drivers from Windows or nVidia for the GTX 970?

Somewhere, you messed up Windows with driver issues.

Can you also post complete system specs?
