Hi, about a year ago I bought a GeForce GTX 780 TI SC ACX and it worked great for several months and then I decided to try to overclock it more even though it was already super clocked from the factory settings... I didn't get the results I wanted and noticed no fps gain so I just quit trying and went back to default settings... Well, I continued gaming normally on it for about 6 months and then suddenly when playing Resident Evil HD: Remastered for some time, the game just crashed but I could still hear the music...! So I force restarted the pc because the entire pc wouldn't respond...

When I restarted, I tried to play it again and after some time, the game crashed again! And so I restarted my pc and tried some other games but they all worked for a moment and then crashed also... Also when I restart, I notice little blue dots on one screen that wasn't there before...

But my pc starts in all safe modes fine and the moment I try to install graphic drivers(Any drivers) when the pc restarts, it locks up and keeps restarting and restarting in a loop...! So any time I touch graphic drivers my computer locks up...! What can I do???!?

One more thing..I even reformatted the entire pc deleting everything and still nothing...! It starts up normally and then the instant I restart after installing my graphic drivers, it crashes the same and goes in that constant restarting loop...! Can someone help me with this???? My graphics card cost like $750 and that would be a super waste of money if this happened... Can anyone help me???? Thanks.

run it for nvidia in its recommended settings/mode.

reinstall the latest nvidia drivers.

we can rule out driver conflicts this way.

if you ever had an amd card installed run it for amd too.

you can try using msi afterburner(or evga precision) and underclock the card and see if that solves your problem. unfortunatly if that does then its a sign of a dying card. i doubt anything you did with the overclock caused this. there are many saftey measures that you likely did not circumvent that protect your card from overclocking damage.

evga has a wonderful warranty and generally regarded as the best when it comes to that. if your...

And when I tried the ddu, it uninstalled the drivers and restarted..and when I reinstalled the gpu drivers and restarted, my screen would go blank at the login to desktop screen and restart over and over again...
