Hi everyone, nabbed a Nvidia Geforce GTX 770 for Christmas and of course installed it right away, but I've been having a horrible amount of issues with it. It seemed fine for most of the day until I got a BSOD during Skyrim referring to pfn list corruption. This led to a series of googling and a whole load of scmucking about. I'll try to put tonights events in order.
-BSOD PFN list corruption
-Reinstall Nvidia Drivers
-Continue getting various BSODs. Some during start up, some just in windows. Nv1ddmk being a recurring BSOD.
-Then I flashed the BIOS (M4A78 Plus) to a new version, and this made everything terrible. Couldn't even get it to boot initially. Drive was defaulted wrong.
-Kept getting BSODS trying to acess the newly installed Nvidia drivers (This is the third round of installs and I have done Driver Sweeper)
In boot mode I killed NVidia updater from starting so I'm stable now on the windows screen, but I'm still having problems and I'm stuck without a paddle.
Right now when I boot it up and it goes straight to the motherboard screen, wait a few seconds, skips motherboard, hangs on a black screen for 20-30 seconds, and then boots up. But when it's booted the CPU is incredibly high at first with no processes being used. Acessing programs makes the CPU spike back to the 80s-90s.
Just opening paint to copy and paste that picture raised it.
Any ideas? Posting under graphics and displays since it all started with the new install.
