Mounting my GPU causes system to reboot?

Hi, I have an EVGA Nvidia GTX 750 TI FTW edition and an AMD integrated graphics card on my motherboard.

My EVGA card had the famous loud fan problem so I emailed evga to ask for the updated BIOS, I believe they sent me the bios for windows 8+, I'm on windows 7 (64 bit) and after installing the BIOS my card stopped working. So, I found an older version of the BIOS and created a bootable USB drive with DOS which I used to flash the card with the older BIOS using nvflash.

Now, when I load windows using the EVGA card, the system reboots before reaching the logon screen. When I run windows using the integrated graphics while having the evga GPU connected, the system reboots a few minutes after logging in. When I run the system using integrated graphics and without the EVGA GPU mounted it runs just fine.

I do not believe that this is a PSU issue as the system was running fine for 6 months before I downloaded the new BIOS.
Does anyone have an idea what the problem may be?


Win7 64-bit OS
EVGA Nvidia GTX 750 Ti FTW edition GPU
Corsair CX600M PSU
Quad Core 8GB RAM AMD FX 4130 Processors
AMD 760G integrated graphics.

Not completely true. Yes you can in some systems, but it will often cause trouble, therefore I always suggest that one disable the inbuilt graphics, which in anyway don't gain anything if one has a better discrete card.
And two different graphics driver can in some circumstances also cause troubles.

Thats like saying Intel graphics wont work with Nvidia or AMD.
You can have a Nvidia GPU and AMD GPU in the same system just fine.

The problem is definitely with the card itself.
I would try to boot it in Safemode and try flashing the GPU again. The BIOS of the GPU doesn't care what OS you have.
Contact EVGA and ask for the latest BIOS for the card.

Once you do that you may want to uninstall and install the latest drivers.

Hi, thanks both of you for your responses. First I tried (as I have before) uninstalling the integrated graphics card drivers and setting the primary card as the GTX, this happens: https://youtu.be/6UebCe_5k_E

After that the PC restarts (and the same thing happens eventually).

For some reason the update programs that EVGA supplied me no longer run citing an error, 'failed to run' or something similar in the console.

I tried flashing again in win98 bootable USB and some error came up about no D*** memory (the stars are 3 other capital letters)

So now I cant change the BIOS for some reason and the card is pulling the same stuff as before.

I should note that the card works in safe mode.

I am sending the card back to the manufacturer for an RMA. Unless anyone else can give another reason I shall mark Flyfisherman's point as the solution.
