Windows 10: My screen freezes and crashes whenever i download drivers for my new gpu.

So I just bought a gtx 1080ti and it works in desktop mode without drivers but as soon as I download drivers, my screen freezes a bunch of different colors and I'm forced to restart my pc. I've tried using DDU and reinstalling drivers, I've unplugged my GPU and put it back, and I've tested my old GPU and it was fine. I was told the GPU is dying and it was memory corruption by someone on discord and that I should refund it while it still boots. Any help?

:)

all games crash!

ive watch my temps and both the cpu and gpu are within normal ranges. when it freezes it simply freezes the image and stops the sound. i must reboot to get back to windows.

I suggest you run rthdribl > http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/archives/rthdribl_1_2.zip
Increase the window size step by step and watch your vga temps permanently.
What happens?
If it crashes, run at stock speeds as suggested before and retry.

P.S.: When your system locks, does the display signal turn off after a time?
Stuttering sound or no sound at all when freezing?
What X1800XT model do you own exactly?
