Is My GPU Dead ? Killed by Driver Software ?

[Herr_Scharfi]

Greetings !

 

I just Installed the Newest Nvidia Driver ( 378.66 ) after Installing was done , i tried to play some Games but everyone Crashed at Start , so i tried to go back to Version ( 378.49 ) but the Problem is still there . 

I tried many Other Drivers and at the end i used a software called "DDU" after that i installed the Driver Version 378.49 but the Problem is still there , even with the "Windows Driver". after that i start Browsing the Web

and i found some posts on the Nvidia Forum that the newest Driver Killed some Cards like GTX 1060 and 1080.. and some 9xx Series Cards , my Question is this possible or not ? and What can i do to make my GPU Work Again ?

PS : Heres a Screenshot (GPU Z)

Did you do anything else to it apart from updating the driver?

 

I have installed the same driver on both of my PC's, this one with the 780 and my Testbed with a GTX 670 and I've had no issues.

No i Did nothing else with my Card or with my System , i just update the Driver Software.

 

EDIT 1 : I found something new , when i look at a dark screen i can see bluelines and artifacts , is it the Vram ?

              I just found the recipe , its 1 Day over guarantee -.-

 

EDIT 2 : The funny thing is Browsing the Web , Watching Videos on Youtube works normal , but editing Photos and try to Play Games , makes Problems.

Bluelines and artifacting, don't like the sound of that. Have you got another PC or access to another PC because it might be worth installing that card in another machine and see if you can recreate the problems.

I have the same problem.. I have a GTX 760, today I was going to play PES17, when the match started, the screen got freezed and then black screen... I rebooted the PC, but when Windows started, the screen had lines (image)... Then, black screen again and it didn't boot... But, in safe mode, it boot good, there is no problem... I think that Nvidia drivers killed it  378.66

Hmm I'm concerned by this, I might roll back the driver tonight

Well, today I installed Ubuntu to check it... It has the same issue.. Now, I can get boot windows but the device manager does not show any screen driver, GPUZ is totally in blank.. I think it is a bios, driver or firmware error...
