Windows 10: Pc freezes whenever I start downloading drivers

So I've experienced this problem for a while now and I have absolutely have no idea why it keeps happening.


It started about 5 months ago when we moved to our new house. The house didn't have WiFi yet so my pc had to keep idle for a while,

the moment we got connection though took at least 2 weeks I plugged my pc and started some updates but then after a few seconds of booting i noticed my mouse wasnt moving and the whole screen froze i restarted the pc then it was fine but like 2-5 mins after booting it froze again so when i restarted my pc this time i searched about it and learned a few tips, after my pc froze one more time i tried pressing my caps lock or num lock buttons to see if the LED light in my keyboard would respond but it didn't. so knowing these few things i tried troubleshooting i noticed if i was watching youtube and the pc freezes the youtube window where the video would be playing would turn green so i looked it up and said it was a driver issue so i tried to update my GPU driver but it would freeze before the driver finish downloading . At this point i was convinced it was the GPU's problem so i removed it and it was fine. i was running without a GPU for about 4 months but then we got better internet connection and i was able to play esports titles again but i had no GPU so i thought try the GPU one more time before installing the gpu i downloaded the gpu driver beforehand because the pc would freeze again before it got a chance to update the driver so i went to nvidia got their latest driver for my GPU installed the GPU and it worked for about 2 weeks my pc ran great no hiccups whatsoever until it started freezing again. this time i booted in safe mood bewildered at this point. I googled pc works fine in safe mode but freezes in normal mode and basically saw threads from pc forums and did anything they suggested i did a clean boot , i typed sfc/ scannow on the cmd and i came across a comment saying i should update my GPU driver surely enough my driver was outdated by a day so i installed the driver in safe mode and installed it in normal mode and the pc ran fine for 2 days until yesterday. Right now i feel exhausted and hopeless about this problem i removed the GPU again and it works fine but im not convinced its the GPU's fault . https://www.indexofapps.com/the-sol...fine-in-safe-mode-but-freezes-in-normal-mode/ i followed this link when troubleshooting and sure enough when i enabled the driver it froze within 5 seconds i tried updating the driver too but it would freeze in the middle of installation at the end it wouldn't even get pass the driver's system check for compatibility saying "nvidia driver cannot find compatible hardware" and "Nvidia graphics driver is not compatible with this version of Windows" at the same time. I realized there was a windows update pending so i updated it first but it would still get stuck in the middle of installation. Im running GPU-less now and works fine


I would really like your opinion on my problem because i would like to be certain before throwing money at it.

Thank you very much!

New here and seeking for help: problems with graphic card

Thanks very much lilhasselhoffer. I'll start doing what you suggested step by step.

One question thou: you suggested me to Download the latest driver package from Nvidea. However, the link you posted is for the newly released GeForce GTX 760? Am I supposed to download the drivers for that card?

Sorry for my questions. As I said, I'm not an expert at all.

Computer Keeps Freezing

It froze again, and the common problem I see throughout most of the freezes is a driver atksgt.sys being blocked from loading. It is related to Tages Protection from Tages SA and it says it has a driver that is installed that causes stability problems with my system. It says it will be disabled but I think this is why my pc keeps freezing. Any suggestions as to what it may be for and/or if I can get rid of it and how?

I never downloaded a program from Tages SA so I am not sure what it could be from.
