I recently Purchased a new Graphics card for my PC, i upgraded from an Radeon HD 7900 series to a  EVGA GTX 1080 SC2. after many issues with the new driver destroying my windows, I completely reinstalled windows. my PC works Fine with my old card, but with my new one it just freezes with a white circle of dots underneath the Gigabyte logo while booting. the only way i can get out of the screen is by manually shutting down my computer. Any help is appreciated, as i am currently heading towards day 3 of this Problem.

 

System Specs

Intel I-7 4770k

16 GB DDR3

(Old) Radeon HD 7900 series GPU (new) EVGA Gtx 1080 SC2

Motherboard- Z87-hd3 Gigabyte

Put back the old GPU and uninstall your graphics drivers using DDU (display driver uninstaller by Guru3D)

Then install the 1080 and boot up with no dedicated graphics installed.

I'm currently running a fresh windows install, I have not Downloaded any drivers yet

Have you tried the 1080 in a different computer? You may have received a faulty card.

I managed to get it working briefly last night, but it was a freak circumstance, but once i was actually in windows, it performed fine, I'm gonna try in in another computer in the morning.
