Hi all!
This is my first post. I need help!
Just bought GTX 970. Had GTX 580.
First, uninstalled Nvidia drivers with DDU and turn off. Took out 580. Installed 970. Turn on. Everything great so far, I'm at Windows.
CPU-Z recognize it as generic video card, of course, as drivers aren't installed yet.
 
I download latest Nvidia drivers (347.25). Insallation starts. Then, a windows sound, and black screen. Mouse and keyboard seem to still work. Monitor doesn't say "no signal". There is signal, just all black. Can't do anything, as I can't see. After a while, PC restarts, but after Windows logo, black again.
The same with HDMI or DVI. On board GPU already disabled. Mother BIOS already updated. CMOS cleared. Tried with 344.75, and 344.80, the same. I even formatted PC. So everything is clean.
I don't think is a hardware problem because it works ok before installing Nvidia drivers. What can I do?
Thank you!
 
My rig:
i5 4709
Mother ASUS MAXIMUS VI GENE
2x 4GB Kingston HyperX
Monitor Samsung SyncMaster P2970MS
Thermaltake 850W
Windows 8.1 Pro

    If you can get past the bios, press f8 and see if you can get into safe more and remove the drivers. If so, then uninstalled anything nvidia related.

    If it works, Once you get back into the operating system, start the driver install again. Instead of doing the quick install, try doing the custom install. Unchecked everything except for PhysX (you can not unchecked the driver, so no worries there)

    Next, check the clean install button below that.

    See if it will install that way for you.

    Thank you Scarlet-Tech for your answer, but it didn't work. I installed latest drivers, finshed installation, and when restart, black screen after windows logo.
    Keyboard and mouse lights turn off, so is not that the PC is working but no signal, it's more like a crash.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks again!
