Graphics card dying?

[Itsaamee]

Yesterday, my PC starting boot-looping all of a sudden (restarting after the windows logo). I was running Windows 7 on it. I booted it into safemode and eventually figured out that my graphics card driver was causing the loop. When I uninstalled Nvidia and the GPU from the device manager, everything booted correctly. So I tried several older versions of the Nvidia drivers but they all either caused boot loop after the windows logo or it would go into the windows log in page and the screens would go into hibernation mode.

 

So I decided to reformat my PC and upgraded to Windows 10. The same thing is now happening. The PC can run as long as there's no Nvidia driver. I would really appreciate any advice given. My specs are below:

 

PSU: Corsair RM850

MB: Asus X99-A

CPU: i7 5960X

GPU: Gigabyte GTX1080

RAM: 4x8gb Ripjaws X

Most likely the GPU, but could be the PSU not giving it enough power...How new is the PSU?

I bought the PSU just last month. Man, I would hate to have to get a new GPU in this climate...

Anyway, for some reason, I am now able to boot into Windows 10. There's no BSOD or any error yet, even though Nvidia is installed.

I will do a stress test on the GPU to see if it would give any error.

Good luck.

If you get any more BSoDs, upload the crash dump files here, I'll look through them and see if it's software related

Nvidia dropped win 7 from their driver support some time ago, so if you were using the latest driver, that may be the issue?

I have run Heaven Bench mark for about 30 minutes at Ultra settings. The GPU temperature held steady at 75 degrees. There are no error message.

I'll monitor the situation. Hopefully it's a software issue and not a hardware one.

I thought it might have been the case but the issue persisted when I upgraded to Windows 10. But it seems like the error has gone away for now. I shall see if it returns tomorrow.
