System Thread Exception Not Handled (nothing here) After 1607 Update
Background:
I bought a graphics card (GTX 1080Ti) for my custom gaming computer running Windows 10 (10240 at the time).I'm upgrading from a GTX 770.
Play-by-play:Updated to the latest driver with Geforce Experience.Shut down.It's been doing this ever since, no matter how many times it tries to boot. I've taken the card out and it still does it (using only the onboard graphics in the processor). There's no driver listed with the BSOD stop code and startup repair always fails. I took a look at the SrtTrail.txt file and everything passed. Safe Mode always BSODs too.
I replaced the card and booted up.
Booted fine, but the display running on the 1080Ti was running at 1024x768 (instead of 1920x1200).
(Figured this was normal)
Waited for startup programs to calm down.
Changed the display resolution to native.
Device Manager doesn't have any idea what the card is (lists it as VGA-Compatible with a warning icon).
Checked for driver update in Geforce Experience.
Tried to install.
"Not compatible with my version of Windows"
Tried downloading the driver directly from Nvidia: same issue.
Try to install the driver automatically and manually with Windows from Device Manager. No luck.
(think to myself, maybe an error message knows what it's talking about for once. check for updates)
I install some updates and it reboots with the "Hi. We've Updated Your PC." screens.
More updates available including the update to 1607.
Restart to install and it gets all the way through the update process (100%) with one or two reboots.
Reboots one last time after completing and then BSOD: System Thread Exception Not Handled (with no driver or anything listed after).
I'm stumped at this point.
I'm downloading an iso for 1607 at work now, but I really really really don't want to go down the nuke-your-whole-drive-and-install-windows route.
Let me know if I can add any more relevant info about my system or the steps I took to get here.
(also, I posted this on the Tom's Hardware forums yesterday because I forgot how good the community here always is. So if you saw it there, I'm sorry for kind of skirting the multiple threads rule).
