PC started freezing after driver update

[Murilo_A]

TL;DR: My PC started freezing after driver update, didn't go back to normal after reinstalling old driver.

 

Nvidia released a new driver yesterday, so I updated, after a while, my PC started freezing, it did once, got back working for some time and then did it again, so I got back to the older driver, but after a while, it did the third time and this time it completely froze and didn't got back, pressing the power or reset button didn't work, but it shut down and restarted after some time (holding the power button worked). Can't acess with TeamViewer or Chrome Desktop Remote, the only recent change I've made was installing the nvidia driver and installing Office 2016 (although I also installed on my laptop which is working fine, so I don't think that could be causing the problem). Oh, and when it freezes, my main monitor (connected to the Nvidia GPU) goes completely black and the secondary monitor (connected to the motherboard) freezes.

 

Useful info:

-It is not overheating, fans are working fine and temps are okay

-I've noticed GPU temperature at idle is a bit higher than before, but not out of control (49C)

-All times I was just using Chrome

-No cables seen to be partially connected

-All the other drivers are up to date

-BIOS is up to date (2110)

-Last BSOD I got was a long time ago, and it happened only once

-Memory test didn't found any problems

-No SMART problems on the boot drive (one of the HDs has reallocated some sectors, but it was working fine even with this and I doubt it caused it since there are no system files there)

 

Specs:

-i5 4460 w/ Cooler Box

-8GB RAM (2x4) G.Skill

-Asus B85M-E/BR

-PNY GTX 760 2GB

-Kingston V300 240GB

-WD Blue 1TB

-Seagate Barracuda 250GB (the one that has reallocated some sectors)

-Cougar ST Plus 500

-Windows 10 Home 64-bit - Anniversary edition

have you tried cleaning out graphics drivers with DDU and redownloading and installing the newest driver freshly?
