GTX 750 ti Issues

[andrew_knowles]

hi guys,

hoping someone a tad more experienced with nvidia cards than myself (up until now, Amd user) could shed some light on this for me. I installed a gtx 750ti tonight and went through the usual win10 install process with zero issues, i used the pc for a good 4 hours with absolutely 0 bsod's. i then went to install the latest (368.39) drivers, all went smoothly and i was promoted to restart - following the restart the system became unresponsive with the display periodically freezing - followed by a bsod within 5 minutes of being powered on. Are there known issues with this driver? im currently resetting the pc (through the win10 recovery tool) and will attempt an older driver, just thought itd be good to hear from others with nvidia cards and their experience.

 

**update** just got a bsod on recovery

 

cheers,

          Andrew

maybe something went wrong during driver install. I too got an an gtx 750 ti with the latest drivers and nothing wrong here

thanks for the heads up, I've actually installed the drivers twice from two separate downloads but both resulted in the same thing, good to hear its not this bad for everyone though haha

that happened to me once with a 470gt no matter how many times I reset, reinstalled it never fixed.

so I stuck it in a diffrrent build and then it worked. the first was intel the second was amd.

i've got this in an fx 6300 build, i do have an athlon 860k build i could have a go with if worse comes to worse (although the thing doesn't have its own psu atm) but ill probably give it a try, i suppose its possible the card is faulty, just i find it odd the issues only arise after the driver install

what's your system specs?

[Tylerebowers]

Fx 6300 (stock atm), 10gb of ram (mismatched sticks i know but this is kinda a bits and pieces build), with the gtx 750ti of course and a bog standard kingston ssdnow drive

Unfortunately i dont think so as i tested an hd 6950 in there when i initially ran into issues, the card ran fine (this was with no drivers) but then again the 750ti also ran fine without drivers. i just didnt fancy messing about downloading, installing then uninstalling the amd drivers haha, but again its something ill come back to if this older driver install fails

you can always try an older driver. when a card has no drivers it's pratically useless. it's then listed as microsoft basic display adapter. in this stage you can't do anything with it

Yeah im going for an older driver now (hopefully this will resolve the issue) and i'll download that program too, although i had to flat out fresh install win10 from a usb after the last driver install as i was getting bsod's in the recovery menus haha. Really hoping this isnt the card

I bet you it doesn't work

The only reason im thinking otherwise is the fact ive not had a single issue without the driver installed, just seems very odd to me

try to uninstall the driver in hardware manger. then try to install again.

yeah, i tried that. right now im running a new fresh install of win10 (ssd + usb so it didnt take long), im gonna install all of the windows 10 updates before i do this driver install just to rule out the possibility of issues stemming from an older build of win10
