GTX 460 black screen after installing drivers

Ayman_98 · Dec 4, 2016

I have bought a second hand gtx 460.

Now, im trying to install drivers but i cant, i always get black screen or "nvlddmkm.sys" bsod.

When i uninstall drivers of nvidia and windows install the standard drivers, all seems to work allright, i see some artifacts in the screen. I was like 1 day trying to install different versions, but none of them worked.

At least and because i cant affrod a new psu, i tryied to connect 2 psu's at the same time, and i got no results.

The gtx is connected to psu with 2 6 pin molex, 1 molex 6 pin connectors needs 2 molex, my psu just haves 3, so 1 of them is missing.
My specs are:

I've connected a vga-dvi adapter to my graphics card, i dont have a dvi cable.

My specs are:

3 gb of ram ddr2
psu: http://
processor: core 2 duo e6300 at 1.8 ghz
mother board p5gc-mx/1333
graphics card: gtx 460

The adapter is most likely not causing the problem.
For the nvlddmkm.sys Error Message: http://ccm.net/faq/6210-how-to-fix-an-nvlddmkm-sys-error-message
I am assuming you did not try this. For the black screen, I am not certain what could be causing it. I am not entirely sure if the PSU has anything to do with it, due to the fact that it does work on Windows Drivers, but the fact it is showing artifacts could mean the PSU is no good. Connecting 2 PSU's at the same time? Excludes the fact it is the PSU (mostly).
I'm not sure if it's entirely relevant, but have you tried going on here? : http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/330519-33-geforce-black-screen-freeze
If all else fails, it could be the GPU needing a replacement. Sorry, this isn't probably the most helpful answer in the world.

I have installed the lastest drivers, all seems to be working alright, its like its working, but i dont get signal on my monitor. When i shut down the computer, after windows loads i got the screen if i want to turn on the computer in normal mode, safe mode ... and then, when i got into normal mode, goes out the signal.

Ayman_98 :

If you have multiple output ports, then try plugging it into another one. You said that you had an adapter? That could in fact be the issue if it's working correctly but no output is received. Try changing an adapter or buying any old DVI cable. Hope this helps.

Do you have power going to both 6 pin power sockets or not?

You need to get a better quality PSU.
