Hello I have a friend with a 780 who has been running it on Windows 10 for a good while. Yesterday he started getting black screen so he uninstalled the OS and reinstalled and during the reinstall got a message saying the card wasn’t compatible with Windows 10 even after it been running for months. He went ahead with the install and installed drivers a ran 2 firestrike stress test and both passed over 99%. Today he starts it up and starts downloading origin and the black screen happens again.

Does anyone know a fix for this or something else to try this has just happened out of nowhere and he has another 770 that he tested and it doing the black screen also. You don’t even have to be playing a game it will just do it at desktop. He has tried many different drivers and has used DDU to clean them befor install and does a clean install of the driver.

Thanks

He only has hdmi and he has tried new cables

His on board graphics on motherboard works fine. I thought of this also until he said it’s been working fine with the motherboard graphics. He also installed windows 8.1 and it worked fine with the card but non of the newer drivers will work with windows 8.1 and play bfv

His psu is about 7 years old and yes he tried a different pcie slot and it wouldn’t recognize either card. I think it something to do with windows and Evga tech said the latest 2 or 3 drivers aren’t compatible with his cards and they told him to turn off windows automatic driver updates but I don’t think he has got to that yet.

I have no clue lol i am just passing on what the tech said. It does seem funny that this happened after the last windows update. I will pass this info on to him.
