Bought a new GTX650 and reinstall a fresh window 7. Everything boot up to the desktop and I install my motherboard driver such as chipset, lan and sound card. On my Device Manager, Display adapters it say: Standard VGA Graphics Adapter show, I immediately download the latest driver from nvidia 347.25 WHQL, check a clean installation. Display adapters change to NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650, I then restart the computer, after the window 7 logo gone my screen when black. I can go all the safe mode without any problem and If i delete the GTX650 driver it let me boot to desktop in normal mode with generic Standard VGA Graphics. I did try to do a 1 memory stick swap and all cable is fully plug in, does anyone have any clue?

Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L LGA 775 F6
Memory: Crucial Ballistic 2GB
CPU: Q6600 2.4Ghz
Power Supply: Corsair 620HX

So today the same thing happened to my gtx 670. I have not had a chance to test it on another computer yet. It did work for a bit when I decided to uninstall the 347.25 update, but then I decided to install them again and the same thing happened, a black screen. At the moment I'm trying to get a picture to show again after uninstalling the driver, but I'm still getting a black screen.

UPDATE: So I did a system restore to a day where I did not have 347.25 drivers ever. I'm back on 347.09 drivers. Upon system restore I noticed that I had 1 Windows update, so I installed that. Everything was fine. Upon entering my desktop I noticed I had another 2 updates to install. I chose to install these. After they finished installing and was about to reboot, my screen just hung there. Waited a bit to see what would happen and nothing happened, so I rebooted manually and bam, once again black screen. So I'm thinking there's something in those two Windows updates that conflicts with the nvidia drivers. This is all on Windows 8.1 however, so I'm not sure if that helped.

I'm having a similar problem after windows updates that include NVidia drivers in the updates. (My request for help is at http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2503187/p9x79-pro-1pro-x64-black-screen-boot-hang-post.html)

Right now i don't know it a the hardware or the software problem. Should I wait couple more day hopefully they release another driver? Or should I just return the card with restocking fee?

I doubt it's the graphics card itself, most likely a driver issue. My computer is now working fine. Out of the 3 updates I had pending this time, I chose to install the .NET Framework update and a definition update for Windows Defender. I left out the driver from Intel for the on board graphics which might or might not be the issue. I have also updated my nVidia drivers to 347.25 and my card is still running fine.

I have found a temporary fix for this problem, which I posted into my own thread that I mentioned in another comment above. To keep the black screen from preventing me from getting to the login screen when I start or restart my computer, I just go into control panel > uninstall programs and uninstall the three NVIDIA programs that Windows Update keeps reinstalling (NVIDIA 3D Viewer, NVIDIA Update, and NVIDIA Driver programs - and tell it to "restart later" on the final program) before every time I shut down or restart the computer. Since I've started doing that, I haven't had a black screen hang once.

Now I just need to figure out how to prevent the NVIDIA programs from reinstalling with each Windows Update, permanently. Any ideas?
