I've been having this issue for the last 4 hours I'm not really sure what's going on it started this morning I got a TDR error then the computer restarted.

 

Every time the computer restarts it gets weird white boxes and then I get the login screen I login and then it restarts. After the restart I get to choose an option to continue turn off the PC or troubleshoot no matter what I click on either end up with the weird white boxes or it restarts and I just get the original login screen and then it does it again it's basically an endless loop of restarting.

 

I have tried taking out the graphic card that worked I was able to boot into Windows successfully and do anything.

 

I've already reinstalled windows that is not the issue I have also make sure to use display driver uninstaller I tried to reinstall display driver in safe mode from the original disk that did not work.

Hi.

 

I think your GPU is faulty. Very faulty.

 

Send it back under the warranty and get your money back and buy a new one.

 

That should work.

EDIT: It also seems like the Nvidia driver is partly responsible here. Try an older version of the driver because the new driver (I'm assuming you downloaded the new driver) is giving everyone issues and in some cases it is killing GPUs.

I take it that you've tried using the iGPU on the Motherboard and that worked? If it did then either your GPU is fried or the PCI-E 16x slot is.

I have tryed pulling the GPU and the computer booted and allowed me to do whatever it was that I was doing can't remember but that was working I can however try my other GPU that does in fact work just not as good to check the x16 to make sure it works

Try that. It will tell us if the board is dead.

As long as your PC boots fine without the GPU present, then I'd definitely say it's the GPU/drivers that's at fault. If the PC is working fine, have a look around some forums maybe, or someone here can tell you what driver is said to be stable for your GPU right now... install that and THEN try your GPU again... just to rule out driver being the issue, you don't want to send back a card as faulty if it isn't, you could be stuck with a restocking fee at the very least. Not trying to scare you, just pointing out what could possibly happen, so better to try everything you can first :)
