Hi guys.
I hope you can help - I've exhausted every possible solution in my head!
So I built a PC for a friend, and upon downloading and installing the Nvidia driver, the screen goes blank and into standby and never wakes up.
This also seems to happen if I let Windows update try and download a driver too, although it's hard to pinpoint.
These are the steps I've tried
The strange thing is, when I first built it, it worked for a few hours. I ever bought another GPU of the same make/model (i needed one as well) and again, when I installed the GPU it worked for a bit then went blank.
It's so odd because as I said before it works fine in safe mode so it surely can't be a hardware component?
I've tried disabling Fast Boot in the BIOS too...
Any ideas?

Clean install of Windows 10
Safe mode works fine
Low res mode DOESN'T work
Without the GPU driver (and network disconnected upon Windows installation) it works indefinitely
