What has changed? Is this a new build and issue happens from the beginning or is it a new issue and the PC was working fine earlier?

i built the pc and was using nvidia gt 8400gs for a week everything was working fine then i got the gtx 1060 and after installing it my screen goes black frequently even when the pc is idle i tired removing driver and reinstalling but was no help

Thanks for the info. Now, when you say you uninstalled and reinstalled drivers, can you please put a tick mark against each step mentioned below:

1) Uninstall old drivers
2) Uninstall 8400 physically
3) Drop in the new 1060
4) Boot into safe mode and run a driver cleaner utility like DDU e.g. https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=6&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwj_5cLMmonXAhXNZiYKHW9JDpwQFgg2MAU&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.guru3d.com%2Ffiles-details%2Fdisplay-driver-uninstaller-download.html&usg=AOvVaw0L0n5MbysmNOEafhf33ql3
5) Reboot
6) Install new drivers

If there is a cross at any step, please repeat steps 1,4, 5, 6.

Your PSU is also not one of the best but we will get to it later. Let me know when you have done the above.

I used the ddu to uninstall the driver in safe mode and then reboot and installed the new drivers
i used the pc without any drivers for 30 mins there was no issue
as soon as i installed the driver+geforce experience the issue started occuring again

I currently have completely uninstalled the drivers and there is no issue at all

okay, seems like your issue has a simple solution. Please do a clean install of windows 10. Back up your data in the OS drive before doing so. No upgrade, no reset, just a new clean install of windows by formatting the current OS partition. This should either resolve your issue or at least eliminate a corrupt windows reason. If it doesnt get resolved after doing this, we will do further troubleshooting.
