Hi!
Today I updated my GPU (GTX 590) driver to the latest one (340.43) and the PC went into black screen state while at the graphics driver installation phase. Now after uninstalling the drivers in safe mode and booting into windows it says in device manager that my GPU has a problem and Windows stopped it (error code 43). This happened on Win7. I decided to install Win 8.1 but same thing happened after installing the latest driver. I tried rolling back to the driver I was using before updating but no luck with that either... I did a fresh install of windows (both 7 and 8.1) countless times, it boots up, but after I install the GPU driver it never boots up again. Like I said, all I did was updating the driver to the latest version. Please help me, all of this really gave me a terrible headache... Thank you so much for your help.
PS: I updated the bios to the latest version weeks ago. Tried flashing the same version again but it didn't change anything... Btw, in safe mode I can see both of the GPU's in the device manager menu. Changed the PSU cable that powers the card, moved the card to another pci-e slot, Tried the latest whql driver, did't work. Can this be a DVI cable issue? I tried all the DVI ports on my card. In this thread it says the DVI cable being loose was the issue:
