Hello! So I've never posted here before, so I'll try to give as much information as possible. The computer in question:
CPU: Intel Core i3 6100 @ 3.70GHz
RAM: Crucial CT8G4DFD8213.C16FAR2 1x8GB DDR4 @ 2133 MHz
Motherboard: Gigabyte H110M-A-CF (U3E1)
GPU: EVGA Geforce GTX 970 SC
DISK: 931GB Western Digital WDC WD10EZEX-00BN5A0 (SATA)
PSU: EVGA Supernova 550 G2 80+ Gold
Monitor: Generic HP Monitor 1280x800@64Hz (VGA Connection...tried HDMI as well)
So to make a long story short, I was replacing an AMD GPU with the GPU mentioned above. I wiped the existing graphics drivers using DDU, remove the card, installed the new card, and installed the new drivers. However, it seems that during startup (immediately following the window's logo loading splash screen, the screen appears like this:
The screen will stay like this until I hold the power button to shut the computer down. This occurs every time I start the computer up if the NVIDIA drivers are installed and I try to boot up normally. Booting into safe mode works just fine. If I remove the NVIDIA drivers with DDU, the computer will boot up just fine in both normal and safe mode. However, due to there being no NVIDIA drivers being installed, the driver shows up like this (Microsoft Basic Display Adapter):
While it is good that it booted up, playing games is difficult due to the NVIDIA drivers not being installed. I have tried various driver versions (376.33, 362.00, 359.06, etc) and I get the same problem each time.
I tried putting the GPU (the 970) into another computer and updated the drivers, and it worked fine without any problems.
If anyone has any idea on how to fix this, I'd appreciate the help.
