Strange problem with GTX 570

[scttlnd]

Hello, 

 

Up until yesterday my graphics card functioned fine, running smooth. It's a GTX 570, about 2 years old. But when I got home yesterday, booted into Windows, I was only able to load up a random problem (the problem occurs no matter what I open up as the first program), then the screen turned purple.

 

So today, I booted into Windows Safe Mode (with GFX installed) it ran fine. Uninstalled it, booted into Windows ran fine. So I though to myself that it could be a software problem. I proceeded to remove any kind of nVidia driver, also MSI Afterburner.

 

After drivers were uninstalled, I installed the GFX into my system again, booted into Windows and it ran fine without the drivers (not properly, but fine - no purple screen). Great. I then installed the nVidia drivers again, rebooted into Windows and everything seemed to be running fine, until the screen just turned white. 

 

So the problem is (TL;DR): With GFX (GTX 570) installed I can only be booted into Windows for a short amount of time before a get a purple or a white from where I'm forced to reboot. 

 

Searched Google, couldn't find anything useful, as to why I am posted this.

 

Do any of you know what the problem might be? 

 

Thanks in advance!

Hello welcome to the forum don't forget to follow your own topics.

Not a 100% sure what the problem is but have you tried to switch over the bios on the card. (If it does have a dual bios.)

I really don't know if it has. But I don't think I'll be able to flash it, if it crashes before I'' be able to do it.

Could be poorly inserted psu cables, corrupted vram (more likely), an issue with the pcie slot on the motherboard
