I built this system last week. For the first 2 days it was fine, no issue. The SSD, video card, RAM, and mobo were a gift from a friend, lightly used. He already had drivers installed on the ssd and I haven't bought an optical drive yet to reinstall windows so I left it as is.

I went to update the drivers because a game I had said that the video card cannot run this game. It ended up not being the drivers, I just had to reinstall the game.

Anyways, since I've updated the drivers, I get black screens constantly. I've tried many of the fixes, using DDU in safemode to wipe the drivers and installing 5 different versions of the drivers (still had the issue). I used afterburner to lower the memory clock and up the core voltage like some threads have suggested. I'm just at my wits end trying to figure this out. I'm not sure what driver version was installed on the SSD previously, but that one I didn't have an issue with until I installed new ones.

Has anyone had this experience before and fixed it?
