As you have already tried changing your gpu try booting into safe mode. If you manage to enter safe mode then chances are it's a driver issue.I was using my PC when suddenly something snapped, messing up the screen with lines, dots and swirlies and it restarted the PC, showing a BOSD every time I attempt to start it again.

Hmm... Did you use the DDU as this automatically sets windows to not install a driver straight away. If you did and it still installed those drivers I imagine it was through Windows update? If so, download the driver I linked to then use the DDU to remove the previous driver whilst in safe mode. Now before you boot back into windows unplug your ethernet cable or whatever it is that connects you to the net. This way you'll be able to install the driver you want.I managed to uninstall the driver, but it installed itself again afterwards,
Perhaps a simpler way would be to run the machine on one RAM stick at a time. See which sticks give the graphical errors and which don't. Basically though if your RAM is reporting errors then it needs changing.Ok, after a 24-hour memtest, it made x13x passes and reported x33x errors. I'm not certain about the real results, since about 70% of the screen was covered by black squares. So the error count was (black square)33(black square), which could mean it got to 4 digits, or not, maybe the first covered a 0, or maybe in covered nothing at all. I had to exit using ESC, not saving any logsIf you need the log, I'll try to set less passes this time, which will be a bit tricky with the screen looking like that.
I'm afraid the application is getting a little old now and generally i try not to use it but just wondered what it would throw up with your card.The Vram test put up a warning saying how my driver reports more memory than it really exists on the card and how it will limit my memory usage to 1,024 MB, after that it said it'll temporarily change the 800x600x32 video mode to 640x480x16, after that it failed to run, saying "Trying 16bpp RGB: 565 mode... NOT SUPPORTED ..." and "Trying 32bpp BGR:888 mode... NOT SUPPORTED.." and it said 800x600x32 in the corner. I tried changing it manually, but the 800x600 is the lowest the resolution can go...
Yes remove them. Inside is contained a copy of the driver your system is using now so please get rid and then remove the driver via DDU, boot back into windows and immediately install the new driver.Now, there's a box in the DDU options menu saying "Remove C:\NVIDIA driver folders (NOT recommended)", it could be getting its' drivers from there and installing them automatically. Should I try that? I'll also try booting it up right after it uninstalls the driver, not giving it the chance to install it again..
Does this black screen stay for long or is it gone within a few seconds?Only now I get the black screen when it boots up
