Hello,

In the past few days my video drivers stopped responding a lot. I've had this problem for a while, but in the past few days it increased by a lot. But today after a reboot my pc started crashing with strange artifacts. Because of the increased amount of driver crashes I updated the drivers. After my pc wouldn't boot up properly I took out my GPU, uninstalled the drivers, placed back my gpu and everything worked fine. I installed older drivers (because only one of my two displays was working without drivers), rebooted my pc and it crashed again.

I have a video of the booting process linked down below. The first 30 seconds is just booting up and logging in. I've blurred the logging in to avoid personal info being shown in the video.

I fear that my GPU just died. Is there anyone who knows this problem and who can confirm what the problem is?

When uninstalling, did you use DDU to completely wipe drivers? If you didn't, corrupted files from the original drivers may still be causing issues.

Hmm have you overclocked ? If so try going back to default settings. 

I have not. Any single overlcock will crash my pc. (I got an MSI GTX 770 Lightning Edition btw. It should be great for overclocking, but it isn't).

I used programs and features to delete the drivers, and when installing the new ones I made sure I used the clean install feature when installing NVIDIA drivers. But I'll try it tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestion. (It's 00:49am here, and my parents are asleep, so I can't make a lot of noise placing the gpu back in.)
