My gear includes a GTX 560 SLI i got in 2012, few days after installing this 364.51 driver i got a blue screen.
Got me some time to figure it out it's the driver so i got into safemod and uninstalled it, now i can get to the normal boot but whenever i install a driver (whether 364.51 or the 362 one) the boot cancels and it starts to loop. w/o getting nowhere. now, i pretty much suck at computers, does that means my cards are burnt? ive checked them, they seem to be tucked in the motherboard pretty well so whats the problem?
Thanks!
Edit: it might be the dact i deleted my drivers (im dumb at pc as i said) but my cards aren't visible in device manager..
ReEdit: After trying to plug one out and vice versa, i just plugged a GTS 450 that was at my house, works perfectly, is that means that it was both of the GPU's? and are they burnt?
 
I guess your drivers are corrupt.
Try this,
First of all you need to TOTALLY remove all the old drivers. Use this link.

Note:
Select the respective company(i.e Nvidia or ATI) drivers to be uninstalled.
Use clean and restart option.
And then install the new drivers after rebooting.
With latest drivers and then older drivers.

nope, wiped all the drivers, downloaded 364.51 still cant complete a boot and shut down, nvidia support says the problem is my GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 which is not updated, any idea on that and if so, how should i update it?

I have same problem on my laptop Lenovo G580.

GPU or VRAM is fault, because i tryed Windows 10, and 3 versions of Nvidia drivers, same in Win7.
On Linux is User Interface still reseting.

Only way to solve it was:
1. Disable Nvidia graphics in Device manager.
or
2. Disable Nvidia Graphics in BIOS. (recommended)

But then you cannot use nvidia gpu.

//EDIT. :D It works only in laptops. On desktop you need to remove fault Graphics, and replace them, or use internal gpu if you have.

Try to full reinstall system, and drivers. If it will not help, then are graphics bad.

I understood updating the BIOS on my own could lead to a serious failure in my pc. i just switched for a GTS 450.. it works, it means that those Cards are burnt?
