GTX 680 losing signal after driver install

[nobody23]

I've been using the latest Geforce drivers with no problem but after a random crash today while playing a game my monitor started losing signal while booting up (just after win 10 logo). The pc eventually restarts and repeats. Safe mode booted up fine. After uninstalling all graphic drivers I can boot up ok.

When I try to reinstall the drivers using Geforce Experience the monitor looses signal again (black screen). I tried using the drivers windows downloaded and have the same problem. I've haven't made any soft/hardware chances recently to the PC, this problem came out of nowhere. What could be casing it?

I'd un-install/disable Geforce Experience. It automatically downloads & installs newest drivers.. Not always what you want to happen.

Loading this driver manually without Geforce Experience will probably work.

Thanks for the reply. I gave the install a shot without Experience but it had the same result. I also did a Windows 10 reset as I'm running out of ideas but it didn't help either.

It may be that Windows 10 incorrectly identified your monitor. If you can boot in safe mode, I'd look at Display properties, Advanced settings and find out / change display mode to 60Hz or less (with appropriate resolution settings)..
