Need Help , GPU stops working after post with drivers

styx971 · January 6, 2023

my fiancee wanted to build a new pc and has mostly everything the same as mine so i'm not sure why his stuff is having issues..

The zotac rtx 4080 worked fine on initial boot , but once we updated/installed the nvidia drivers we get a simi frozen flickering display . we thought it might have been the gpu but i tried my spare working 3080ti in it and had the same issue. we thought it might have been the motherboard but we ordered a different one and it has the same issue. i tried disabling the mobo graphics and it freezes when it tries to boot into windows. i can get into the bios ok before that happens. we tried sticking his ssd from his other pc that has windows 10 on it ( we had got him 11) and it worked fine until i updated the drivers then the same issue happened thankfully i put the other drive back in its original pc n theres no issue with that . i have no idea what the case is at this point or what to do honestly.

as i was typing this i thought maybe it was a ram issue since his has amd optimized in the title so i tried pulling my ram from my pc but it didn't help at all Corsair Vengeance DDR5 64GB (2x32GB) 5200MHz C40 Intel Optimized Desktop )

i've attached a video of what it originally did the first time we tried it, since then it either just comes up with a thick line at the top with a black screen with a lighter black/grey line at the top or a black and white combo of weirdness flashing
