I'm having an issue with my graphics card or at least the drivers for it.
Whenever I update my drivers to anything more recent I get a constant loop of my computer booting into a BSOD. It'll reach the windows loading logo and after that it'll crash with the error nvlddmkm.sys.
However even on an older version of the drivers I'm having issues. Computer will boot fine and will make it past the windows logo loading however the secondary monitor will be black with some small green lines on it however if I drag a window over it (say chrome) it'll clear it out but the window will leave behind a trail in parts. It seems that after a certain time or if I try do too much I'll get an error saying display driver has stopped responding and has now recovered.
I've gone through multiple driver switches and once I move up to 353.62 I get the BSOD. 353.30 and 353.06 seem to work to varying extents .
Temperature wise the GPU seems to be fine with no noticeable increase before crashing and I've tried switching to a different pci slot on my motherboard. (The not responding error happened before and after this).
If it helps on one boot I was getting scattered red dots across images say in steam or on streaming videos however that hasn't repeated itself as far as I've noticed.
Also opened twitch TV in chrome and fullscreened it. Got straight horizontal line artifacts, desktop got all messy too covered in different coloured boxes then everything went black and didn't recover. Starting to be more sure that the card is dieing but would still like a second opinion
Specs:
OS: Windows 7 Home Professional 64bit
CPU: Intel i7 930
MoBo: Gigabyte X58A-UD7
GFX: Nvidia GTX 480
HDD: Samsung 840 EVO 128GB and Western Digital Black 1TB
RAM: 2x8GB Kingston Hyper X Fury
Any advice? Thanks in advance!
