Mobo: ASRock 970 PRO3 R2.0 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD
GPU: GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 FTW w/ ACX
CPU: AMD FX-6300 Vishera 6-Core 3.5 GHz (4.1 GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 95W
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
OS: Windows 10
Okay, last night I installed the Hyper 212 EVO CPU cooler on my mobo (without removing the mobo)
Everything was fine, I ran prime95 for around 45min and it passed all the tests during that time frame.
TODAY: I powered up and my screen kept flashing and I saw a notification "Driver Failed to Start".
I then tried to open GeForce Experience and it failed to launch.
Moving forward I did a restart and the same thing happened, this time around I went to Nvidia's website and downloaded the driver manually but before I could install it, my computer force logged me out.
Que the Gray screen, driver failure loop...
This went on for awhile, I checked to make sure all my fans were running (esp on the GPU).
Luckily I was able to get into Safe Mode and install the driver.
Currently everything is normal, BUT when I open certain programs or switch between them my screen flashes black, basically like I am blinking.
Did I damage my mobo when installing the Cooler?
Is this still a driver issue?
Not sure where to go from here.
I planned on Overclocking my CPU from 3.5 to 4.2 but I'm not sure if there is an underlying issue that may get worse when Overclocking.
