First I bought a GTX 570, returned it and 2 weeks later bought a GTX 560 Ti which I have installed now. The issues between the two cards were identical and I have tried everything that I will explain on both cards.
Specs:
Win 7 64bit
i7 930
EVGA X58 Mobo
6gb DDR3 RAM
550 Watt Corsair power supply (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139004)
I replaced two ATI HD4850 cards in CF.
My issue:
Installed card, uninstalled ATI drivers, installed NVIDIA drivers. Reboot machine, gets to welcome screen, BSOD (nvlddmkm.sys 0x00000116 error)(The GTX570 actually just hung at this point).
On occasion if I uninstall all drivers and reinstall just the latest display driver I will be able to get past the welcome screen (!!!) on the first and ONLY first time after the fresh install. However, if I try to play a video, game, or access GPU-Z, the system hangs and BSOD.
My PSU has 2 PCI-E power cables, and the card came with molex converters, I have tried every combination of these to no avail.
Any advice?
