First a little background info. I built this pc myself back in 2014, so its still fairly new. I have a gtx 780, gigabyte ep45-ud3p mother board, corsair tx 750w power supply, a intel 3.4 ghz cpu, and Windows 10 installed. i did not update to the most recent version of Windows 10 yet. I tried but started having these issues with my pc. Never had a single issue with my pc untill yesterday.
So onto the problem. Yesterday my computer monitor went black completely, as in it shut itself off and went to sleep. I waited for it to come back and aftee 30 mins i just decided to restart. It got to the windows loading screen and restarted itself. Computer worked as normal after that for awhile but then it did it again.
I decided to update windows thinking that might be the issue, but that is when my computer reallt got <mod edit>. It would no longer load windows as normal and instead it got stuck in a infinite reset loop everytime the windows logo appeared. But that isnt the worst of it. After a few resets it did bring me to the recovery screen. I was able to start in safe mode perfectly fine. I ran full virus and malware scans, nothing came up. Restarted pc and got the same issue of it restarting on the windows logo.
Spent hours in safe mode and decided to say <mod edit> it and do a fresh clean reinstall of windows. Big mistake apparently. Reinstalling windows only made the issue worse because now the restarts prevent windows from reinstalling itself and now i cant go back in safe mode or get back to recovery period. My computer is stuck in a permanent restart loop and all i can do is access bios. At this point im thinking of bringing it to a pc shop as a last resort because i have no clue on what the issue is.
Edit: i forgot to mention that i did try switching monitors out. Same issue even on a different monitor.
Earlier today i found out i was able to use my old win7 disk to reinstall Windows 7. I did that and it worked to a basic degree. Im able to log on with bare bones and basic drivers, basicallt safe mode without it actually being safe mode. Huge success in my eyes as atleast now its out of that restart loop. But the issue is far from fixed. Device manager wont detect my network adapter so i cant get on the internet. And worst of all is when i try to install the nvidia gtx drivers. When that happens my comp goes back into a restart loop, but atleast this time i can go into safemode and uninstall the drivers.
That is the predicament im in now. Windows cant detect my network driver and i cant install my gtx 780 drivers. Btw i tried the "unplug ram and power cables" trick. Left them out for over half a day. Did nothing but waste time. What can i do? I need my computer.
