Hi!

Today I updated my GPU driver to the latest one (340.43) and the PC went into black screen state while at the graphics driver installation phase. Now it says in device manager that my GPU has a problem and Windows stopped it (error code 43). Sometimes one of the GPU's seems to be working in the device manager menu. Sometimes the one on the bottom sometimes the one on the top... This happened on Win7. I decided to install Win 8.1 but same thing happened after installing the latest driver. I tried rolling back to the driver I was using before updating but no luck with that either... I formatted my PC countless times, it boots up, but after I install the GPU driver it never boots up again. Like I said, all I did was updating the driver to the latest version. Please help me, all of this really gave me a terrible headache... Thank you so much for your help.

PS: I updated the bios to the latest version weeks ago. Tried flashing the same version again but it didn't change anything... Btw, in safe mode I can see both of the GPU's in the device manager menu.

Here are my specs:

-Asus Maximus V Formula

-Samsung 256GB Pro SSD, Seagate 2TB HDD.

-i7-2600k oc'ed @4.5 Ghz

-Asus GTX 590

-PSU: Corsair AX860

-16 GB Kingston Memory

-Monitor: Asus VG278H

Thank you again.

Is broken DVI cable a possible cause?

uninstall the driver from the add/remove programs [ don't use the device manager way with NVidia ] so the card is now back on the generic vga driver that's built in to windows [default] once it back on that shut down discharge and remove the card from the computer then reseat the card and hook it all back up restart and go back to desktop and it should still bs on the windows driver- if so download the NVidia driver from NVidia to a file on your desktop and install it from there.
