I recently purchased an EVGA Geforce GTX 1050 TI from amazon. Previously, my PC ran a Geforce 9500 GT, which started dying and needed replacing. So I removed my old graphics card, ran DDU in safe mode, and uninstalled both my onboard intel chipset driver and nvidia driver. I shut the PC off and installed the 1050TI into the PCI-E slot. I then connected the monitor to the DVI slot on the 1050TI using a VGA to DVI cable and booted up the system.
Before I installed the driver (vers. 376.33) I opened up Device Manager on Windows 10 to confirm whether the drivers were uninstalled. They were and currently an Nvidia Microsoft basic display adapter was the only thing being recognised at the moment.
Now here is where my problem lies. During installation of the drivers for the card, my monitor shuts off and goes into power save mode and then reboots. When it reboots, it crashes shortly during startup. At this point I'm forced to do a system restore, or plug my monitor into the onboard port. Is this a driver issue or a hardware issue? Is there any way I can remedy this?
Here are my system specs copied directly from Speccy:
• Operating System: Windows 10 Home 64-bit
• CPU: Intel Pentium E2160 @ 1.80GHz Conroe 65nm Technology
• RAM: 3.00GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 332MHz (5-5-5-15)
