I have recently received the BLACK screen of death! I was happily playing some games on my new pc and then Windows crashed and when rebooting after the windows loading screen, post bios info, I don;t get a login screen, just the black sod.

I am running the latest drivers for all cards/peripherals/latest bios etc. I was running Nvidia drivers 275.33 and everything was working nicely for a few days since I received the GTX580 and now this.

So I have booted into safe mode and uninstalled the GTX Card. Used driver sweeper to clean old drivers and my machine then boots into Windows fine. So I proceeded to install the Nvidia driver from the driver disk that came with the card. Driver v266.58 rebooted and then the same black screen.

I have since tried a system restore from safe mode to 4days previous, before I installed some latest drivers for usb and other components. done the clean and installed 266.58 again and still the black screen...

Can anyone help please?

I was installing everything yes. So now I am trying to remove all but 3dvision controller and update 1.3.5 won't uninstall from control panel. I'd like to remove everything before trying to install the driver as you recommended above. Should I try to manually remove these programs?

Alex, Did it work?  I'm planning a 580 purchase an want to know all i need to expect befroe i run into issues.

Nice, congrats

seems I was a little premature as now I'm getting the nvlddmkm.sys BSOD :(

 
What were you doing when it happend? 

I was booting up APB: Reloaded when it happened. Going to try now with the older drivers...will report back!

It wasn't the ambient occlusion and I don't think I changed that as... win7 wouldn't startup again, just kept repeating the bsod on load.
 
I have since run ccleaner and driversweeper...deleted all nvidia folders and registry entries and got rid of all from the control panel (including the nvidia update). Installed 266.58 from the desktop, gfx and physx only and perform clean install. Reboot and after windows loading screen I get a black screen with 16 white lines down it... :(
 
Is there another driver I should try?

no I uninstalled precision a while back. I did actually try reseating the card this morning. I cleared the cmos too and set about turning off various onbaord devices (such as marvell storage contorller etc) in the bios...everything I could think of.
 
I've read about increasing the voltage to the card within the bios?

went back into safe mode, uninstalled all again and now i boot fine into win7 with its vga driver...

Thanks dude.... Yes I am on their forums too! I've tried the latest 1805 beta bios for this board and that was a disaster so I'm on the 1409 bios which is the latest and most stable one.I've reset everything so no overclocking or any changes like that.
 
Updated my ocz firmware to the latest and that got rid of a lot of bsod'ss....been quite a few little issues to clean up and this is the last one!!

tried moving the card to another pci-e slot. tried the latest beta drivers 275.50 - black screen after windows logo also.
 
just flash the asus bios back on revision to 1303 from 1409. Installed 270.61, got bsod  - nvlddmkm.sys again!
 
Any ideas guys? Is my card faulty?

just the auto optimised default bios on the maximus iv (which does oc it from 3.4->3.8) but no oc'ing. i wanted to get the system stable before ocing....

ok thanks man. will try that and test with the 270.61 driver again since thats the one you recommend ;)

I really have no experience with 2600K systems...
 
My guess would be, its not a bad card but rather a bios setting that needs adjusting.
 
Try making a post in the P67 section.. there are users there who could make better suggestions.
 
Good luck bro
