My GPU keeps crashing whenever I boot Windows?
I'm in a weird situation here, I bought my gtx 1060 2 days ago, once I plugged it in my windows would crash as soon as it got to the desktop the screen turns off and back on again over and over again and eventually the computer blue screens, the problem doesn't occur when I use the basic Microsoft VGA drivers but it happens when I use the Nvidia driver's and it makes the whole computer unusable. I've not left anything unplugged in the build such as the 6 pin adapter my power supply is a 600w 80+ certified evga power supply so it should be sufficient enough to power my GPU, I don't understand why this is doing this is anyone can give me any tips it would be massively appreciated.

I would remove the card, update the BIOS, then remove the Nvidia driver, then reinsert the card and the latest driver. If no better your card may be faulty

using your builtin graphics [from your APU or CPU], download the very latest drivers from NVidia or your card's maker. Install these instead of the ones that came with the card. then try again.
It isn't uncommon for a later o/s upgrade [Win 10?] to not work with the older drivers that came packaged with your GPU.
Please tell us you aren't trying to make this run with Win Me or Vista. Even Win 7 might be dicey [not supported].
