Okay, so this somewhat stems off of a previous post I had made where I had thought a power surge damaged my brand new system I built. Power surge occured while I was stress testing my system with starcraft 2 on ultra settings, which I should have been able to handle just fine.
Basically, any time I boot up, I get these really nasty horizontal graphical artifacts on my screen, though if i switch resolution to 800x600, it goes away. I've updated my BIOS, and chipset, installed the latest drivers from nvidia and msi. The latter was, and has been an ordeal from the start.
uninstalling/reinstalling simply didn't work. I had to go through a huge long process of removing the files, clearing the registry, installing guru3D and using it booted in safe mode to clean the nvidia drivers from my computer. I then proceeded to boot up and make a clean install of the latest driver from nvidia. Still getting the same problem. Any time I load up the device manager, it gives a code 43, device isn't working properly. Sometimes I'll also get a little notification in my tray that says "force driver to install" which promptly disappears. before guru3D, windows would repeatedly ask me to restart the computer to fix the driver, which didn't do anything. I've been all up and down my bios to make sure it's using the pci slot and my gpu, it definitely is.
So I'm totally stuck here, don't know what else to do. This driver will just not work at all, but I'm fairly certain my gpu is okay because my hdmi connected to it.
Here are my spec's
OS-windows 8.1
cpu-intel 4790k (with corsair liquid radiator/fan)
gpu- msi twin frozr gtx 980 4gb ddr5
motherboard- asus maximus vii hero
psu-corsair 850w gold 80
running a 240gb ssd and a 3tb harddrive, though i'm sure those don't matter too much.
I have a cooler master tower, which gives me a grand total of like, 7 fans haha so its very unlikely I was overheating in any way.
Anybody have ideas?:/
