Any Driver crashes my GTX 480

Thread Starter 
Hello! I've recently bought a gtx 480 1.5Gb. Whenever I install a driver( including beta and older drivers) my PC crashes after login. I'm not sure what to do! I'll list my specs below just in case that helps. I've never Overclocked this card or changed the voltages. This thing is pissing me off. It only boots when I have no driver on it.

Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 B.E. 970 With Heat Sink

Graphics Card: EVGA Geforce GTX 480 1536MB GDDR5 700MHz (OC 800MHz @ Stock 1.038 volts)

Motherboard:Asus m4a79xtd EVO. ( USB 3, Sli ready, Turbo OC)

Ram: Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1600MHz w/ heat sinks (2x4GB)

Hard Drive: One 40gb IDE HDD, One 500gb SATA

Power Supply: Ultra LSP 750w PSU

Most nvidia drivers from nvidia.com/driver

What GPU did you have in there before? It might be an idea to uninstall all ATI and NVidia drivers then run Driver Sweeper to clean up the crap left over.

Once you've done that, reboot, install the latest release drivers and try again.

So just because you posted something that makes little sense for a change we should close the thread?

Booted in safe mode. Cleared out EVERY nvidia option. Reinstalled the driver from device manager (auto update) and it still crashes. Anything else I can do???

That makes a little sense? Dude, that's the first thing everyone would recommend. Next it'll be baking :-)... I love baking... I'm going to go look at some pictures of lolcats now.

Yes,

OK so you've done the basics, has it always been this way? The chances are the solder needs to be reflowed, the problem with this is you'll need to strip the card down and put it in the oven. This begs 2 questions for you.

1. are you comfortable doing that?
2. Could you take the card back to the place you bought it from and get them to test it/ask for a refund?

Is your CPU overclocked? (CPU instability can also cause driver crashes) If it is try and set it to stock and then see if the 480 then works properly.

Wait up, he's overclocked the GPU at stock volts...

Does it do this when you haven't overclocked it???
