Hi All,


I have an issue, i cannot find.. searched forums, articles.. everything.

i built a rig and everything works well and fine, until i installed the GPU driver.
If i run the PC with integrated graphics with HDMI to the motherboard directly its totally fine.

if i run the PC with HDMI through to the GPU its fine (at this point everything is still running, fans spinning just resolution is low with everything enlarged) I then downloaded and updated the required driver from the NVIDIA website (353.62).

Once i updated the driver it works well..(sometimes) after 5 mins or so it will shut down. or NO SIGNAL screeen will come up.
(sometimes it blanks out the screen, then comes back with a popup at bottom right hand screen (driver crashed and has been auto corrected)

I got a feeling something is wrong with the driver..? Since the whole pc works until the installation of the driver that is suited for my card. i have updated the Latest driver from nvida website.

I thought maybe its the 850w power supply, Not being able to source enough power, but it should be WELL enough for my rig. And also the hdmi through the GPU worked fine with all fans spinning and display showing prior to even installing the 353.62 driver.. (although everything was enlarged and low resolution it still worked)


Now im out of ideas... i even disabled the internal graphics and running solely from the gtx670, maybe i need to uninstall it?

any help be so appreciated. stuck for couple weeks now..
