I've been running on what is essentially the same computer for around 3 years now, just updating odd bits here and there over this time. My main upgrade being my EVGA gtx 670 ftw 4GB graphics card, which i purchased and installed a little under a year ago. I have had NO problems with it in the entirety of this time, until today . . .
I was playing battlefield 4, as has become a routine part of my day recently as I make videos for YouTube, when all of a sudden my computer crashed and rebooted. No biggey I thought and waited for the computer to reboot, When the computer got to the 'Launching Windows' screen with the logo, it stayed still at the end of the animation, flickered, and then restarted again. This time I launched the computer in safe mode and it started first time no problem.
I began looking at other threads on TomsHardware and found similar problems which were solved by uninstalling the graphics driver, restarting and reinstalling once out of safe mode. After uninstalling my graphics driver through the device manager my computer launched in normal mode fine, however after re installing the driver (both through windows 'new device installation' and through the original installation disk, the original error occurs and i can once again only launch my computer in safe mode.
Any suggestion and help is welcome,
Thanks in advance,
Scott.
My Rig:
Gigabyte GA-MA78LMT-US2H motherboard
AMD phenom II x4 965 processor 3.40GHz
16Gb corsair ram (4x 4GB)
64-bit windows 7 ultimate
EVGA gtx 670 ftw 4gb graphics card
2x 1TB hard drives (can't remember brand)
500w PSU (seemingly unbranded but has caused no issue to this day)
