hello
i have Asus GT630 4GB
after i installed the driver of the gpu
it gives me bluescreen
went via safe mode and disabled the gpu card so i can log into my windows
tried to many drivers it's still the same
changed PSU AND even tried on other pc's but the same always
is there any fix for this problem ?
 
If you have tried a different PSU and also tried in a different PC
and the Card bluescreens in both/either PC's
this has the indication that the Card has problems and has probably Failed
baking the card is an often touted solution (Short term if sucessful )
your probably going to have to Replace this Card
Sorry to offer bad news :(
some one more familiar with that model of card may pop in with further Advice so don't totally lose heart yet ( just start Saving / scraping together some cash just in case)
 
I agree what @dorsetknob said 100%, and yet to add:
GT 630 is rated on low TDP so changing PSU didn't helped at all
it's probably 4 year old card or more so time has come for it to die
Baking can help only if you have disassembled and assembled card too many times because of cleaning and thermal grase replace and baking must be done by professional
but, if card died because of too much dust and constant overheating - there is no help
 
Card is failing, replace it, move along
 
I would agree with eidairaman1. That card is likely failing. It's old, and very weak. Actually it was very weak even when it was new.

Time to get a new card.
