I have a Evga 780i A1 Motherboard and recenty I have had some issues from my northbridge fan that sit on top of the heatsink. So this morning I bought a 90mm fan and replaced it. Whenever I went back into windows my screen went crazy and threw me crazy colors and other visual glitches. So I figured it was overheating, I turn of the pc and let it sit for awhile. I boot back up and go into windows and it throws me the glitches again but this time windows literally locked up. I restarted and it does it again.. &repeat.

I got pissed off at it and decided it was the graphics drivers for the OS. So I install windows onto a second hard drive to test and no glitches have come up so far. What I would like to know is if I can install graphics drivers onto the other OS from this OS? Or atleast uninstall the other OS's Graphics Drivers so I can install the latest drivers without having to format the drive and reinstall everything.

I don't really know what's wrong... maybe you could try re-seating your graphics card.

No safemode? You can uninstall and then run a driver cleaner to get all the crap off from there.
