Hi Guys,
Yesterday I built up my new system (finally) with following config:
1) Intel i5 6600 (not K)
2) Gigabyte H170 Gaming 3
3) Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR4
4) Corsair VS 450
5) WD Blue 2 TB Hard Drive
all enclosed in Corsair SPEC Alpha chassis with my old Zotac Geforce 660 GT. (I'll be getting Geforce 1060 in sometime).
The problem is: I installed fresh Windows 10 and loaded required system drivers (chipset, audio, LAN etc.) Everything worked fine until i installed the latest nvidia driver (v 376.33).
After the driver installation, the driver kernal started "crashed and reccoverd" problem after every 20-30 seconds, and windows got completely crashed and rebooted automatically when i tried to open Microsoft Edge explorer. After reboot, the system is just not usable at all (crashing within seconds). Then I restored system just before the nvidia driver installation and it got fine. I tried installing windows 10 multiple times, also unplugged and plugged the graphics card, just to be sure.
I am not sure what the problem is. I tried multiple driver versions (356.11, 361.something) but ended with same problem. Tried Intel VGA's display and that is also working fine. Its just that nvidia drivers are failing miserably (also tried installing only the driver, excluding geforce experience, 3D VR drivers etc.).
Has anybody faced this issue before? I can see a lot of people have mentioned about it on various forums but couldnt find any solution till now. Maybe its the windows 10? I'll try windows 8.1 in evening to check it.
