I recently bought myself a new motherboard, the Maximus V, and ever since I installed everything Im getting strange problems with my graphcis card. There are 3 PCI-E slots on the mobo, and alternating the card between all of them doesnt seem to help. My problem is as follows:
Every time I boot my pc, 9 times out of 10 windows will start up and I will see my desktop, and within 10 seconds I get a strange lag spike and my display driver crashes. After it crashes, most of the time it recovers, but will continue to crash and be incredibly unstable afterwards. Im basically forced to reboot my computer a douzen times before everything works normally, and once it does, it will work for a day or 2, until the driver crashes randomly again, and then I have to restart my pc a douzen times till it fixes itself.
Ive tried installing previous nvidia drivers, I did perform clean installs, none of my hardware is being overclocked atm, and Im just not sure what to do anymore :/ It should be noted that when I installed a clean version of windows, and installed the drivers immediately, I never had this issue, only a week later or so it started happening, and I checked to see if it was any update I downloaded, or if it was a program I installed that launches on startup, but its not it. I removed all the startup programs, and there wasnt any update or program installed in the 2 days before the issue began.
I find it hard to believe that this would be a hardware problem considering the fact that at least one of the 3 PCI-E slots would work, and the fact that sometimes it runs fine... Also I updated the BIOS of the mobo, and it didnt solve the problem.
Does anyone have a clue what the issue might be?
Thanks ahead of time
