Hey All,
I am installing a new Asus Strix 970 on a Asus Maximus V Formula Z77 mobo with a I7 3770K and 2x4Gb Gskill 1800 DDR3.
Before the GPU upgrade i had a AMD 7970 wich worked with no probs.
I have read this post (see link below) but it doesnt solve my problem;

The problem is when i insert the GPU on a new win10 install and have my internet connected the system tries to install the whql driver for the new Asus Strix 970 GPU, the system just freezes during 1st boot with the new GPU inserted.
When i do another fresh install and reboot the pc with the internet cable disconnected the pc boots up.
I had the Latest Nvidia driver (361.41) downloaded on my desktop so i wanted to install it that way.
During installation the pc freezes when the Nvidia driver package is installing the 3D Vision bit so the error must have something to do with this.
When i do a clean install once again without internet connected and i install the nvidia driver without all the extra options (without 3D vision, HD Audio, Geforce Experience and PhysX) so just with the GPU driver than the install finishes with out any problems.
Only thing is now i dont have all the benefits of the other Nvidia driver parts.
Any solution?
Ow i forgot to mention i had a Corsair CM 600PSU so i thought it was not good enough (although it could power my old 7970 wich needed much more power.
Now i ordered a brand new Corsair HX850i so PSU is ok also.
I also tried my 1 month old GTX980Ti from my main gaming rig in this setup and same problem.
My new 970 strix i also tried in my main gaming rig and it works just fine.
Only conclusion is something in the Asus motherboard is giving an error with new Nvidia cards.
Any ideas ?
