Nvidia 760 driver update black screen
Just formatted my computer and have been in the process of constant window updates/driver updates for the past few hours and have finally ran into a snag regarding my video card. I'm to the point where I can not use my monitors native 1920x1080 without updating my video card and when I do that (nvidia 760) on restart my screen turns black and acts like it does not respond.

Mobo: H97M-D3H
GPU: EVGA Nvidia 760
CPU: i5 4690K
Monitor: Asus 242h

Prior to the format everything worked flawlessly.

Strange. Did what was suggested in that other thread and it worked. Not sure why that did the trick but it did thanks for the suggestions guys!

Sorry, went to sleep kept getting the same problem over and over. I'm running DDU then CCcleaner and will try again.

Edit - Still nothing. Going to try re-installing my mobo drivers then my video card again if that doesn't work I might just wipe my HDD again.

Edit 2 - Following the steps listed in http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1651132/black-sc... will update when finished.

Also having CCC installed before drivers can make problems.

Have your run the CC cleaner to fix registry?

Yup. That was one of the first things I've done already. Still receiving black screen VGA not responding after updating my gpu.

Then you'd need to re-install all your drivers for the motherboard too.

Yup complete reformat from scratch. Will try the DDU suggestion in the mean time.

Edit - as a quick update just ran DDU in safe mode and came back checked resolution I now have 1600x1200 which is still not what I'm wanting but it's better than what I had. Going to try installing my nvidia drivers now.

You formatted the drive? Wiped your OS?

Driver error:

1. Download DDU (search internet)
2. Run DDU (make sure in safe mode)
3. Uninstall GPU in the device manager
4. Run cc cleaner to clean files and fix registry
5. Reinstall Graphics drivers
6. Wipe your a** and smile :)
