Recently my PC has started freezing where the screen goes black at login and the GPU fans spin at max and get extremely loud. I haven't made any changes to the PC besides downloading a few games prior to the issue starting. I have tried clean booting and removing any dust from the system. I even went so far as to do a fresh install of windows 10 which allowed everything to work properly but the issue persisted when installing nvidia drivers and even java (for nvidia's system gpu identifier) on a separate attempt. Any ideas on what could be causing this? Thanks for your time!

PC components:
Windows 10
GPU-EVGA Geforce GTX 1080 SC
CPU-i7 6850k
MOBO-ASUS x99 deluxe II
PSU-EVGA 850 gold
RAM-Adata XPG x 32gb

Hi @Miklo and welcome to PCHF :)

Please go HERE and download the portable version of Speccy. Save it to somewhere you can find, locate the file and as it comes as a Zip file use your favorite unzip application to decompress it. Open the newly created folder and double left click Speccy.exe if you have a 32 bit system or Speccy64.exe if yours is 64bit. If you are not sure what your system is click HERE.

Speccy will open and after a short wait will display a summary of your system specs.
  • Click on the file menu.
  • Then click Publish snapshot.

Now that your link has been copied please paste it into your next post. It should look something like the example below :)

BTW: once you have finished with speccy and no longer want it removing it is easy because it is a portable app with no install. Simply delete the downloaded file and folder you created when you decompressed it. Gone:thumbsup:

Unfortunately I don't have a spare card to try out. I tried starting with one stick of RAM and there was no change. I tried doing another clean boot and no changes there. I also skimmed through device manager for any drivers that may have been marked but I didn't see anything there either. Everything runs fine when in safe mode but other than that it still black screens at the login screen

Yep! I installed the latest drivers with no changes. I was able to test the card in another system and the issue persisted so I've got it boiled down to the gpu at this point. I opened the card up to see if it was a thermal past issue and there was nothing out if the ordinary that I could see
