Black screen after gpu update

[DivingEagle]

Hello,

 

Yesterday I finished building my first pc. Everything worked fine, updated bios and installed windows 10. I downloaded a update for my Gigabyte 1060 xtreme, screen went black. I can go into the bios, that works fine. Some idea's?

 

I restarted the pc a couple times.

 

Pls help.

I've had similar black screen issues on my 770 on anything newer than than August or July GPU Driver.

 

I'm still stuck on 382.05 cos of that. Even the latest 385.41 drivers still cause the nasty black screen issues for me.

Try rolling back to an earlier GPU Driver if possible. You can try to enter WIndows by using your iGPU if you have one (plug your display cable into the motherboard's display cable if on an Intel CPU) and then roll back the driver. Then shutdown and start it up with your dGPU connected to the display.

Wait, I have a similar problem I think. I have a GTX 560 Ti at home and I installed it into a system. Windows wasn't able to get drivers for the GPU but I still had an image on my screen. Then I tried to automatically download the newest NVidia drivers and the screen would turn black during installation. After restarting the PC windows deleted the half installed NVidia drivers. Can you give me more information about the problem you had? Maybe an older driver version could do the trick for me as well.

For me, trying to install the newer drivers went Ok but after a while the screen would go black and restarting didn't help.

 

I rolled back to 382.05 using my iGPU to get to Windows. After I rolled back the Driver, I was able to boot with display on my 770.

Do you think my probelms could be solved by an older driver version. I have never seen a card which crashes when I try to install the drivers.

Might be worth a try
