Hi there
disclaimer : i did check the other similar posts on the forum but ive yet to find a working solution
My main pc specs are : i7 4770 @ 3.4 ghz with 16gb ram and I'm using a Gainward Phantom 2gb Gtx 760.
Pc was working fine till I ran the recent Nvidia driver update on Monday and since then its been giving me some problems. My pc will freeze up and my display will go black after using the computer for like 10 mins or so, sometimes longer, it varies. For example I'll be browsing or watching a video and then bam, it freezes up. Thinking that it was caused by the driver update, I installed Display Drive Uninstaller (DDU) and did a clean install of the latest nvidia driver and also the previous version before the update. I did a startup repair, checkdisk, blue screen diagnostics and all came out with no errors whatsover, no bad sectors or anything like that. It works fine on safe mode though and didnt freeze up at all so I'm thinking my hard drives and all are still ok.
The fans on the graphic card still spins and is working fine and theres no overheating issues
I googled up the black screen problem for windows 10 and have followed all if not most of the suggestions out there but to no avail, the closest successful solution I managed to find which worked for most was performing a clean install with DDU.
Not sure whats causing the problem since I didn't add in any new hardware or software apart from the driver update. Any help would be much appreciated
