Try depressing the CUDA switch [motherboard reset button], IIRC, located roughly center on the 580 mobo, close to the attached vertical back plate. It's usually a small raised bump not much bigger than a match-head. Generally, it should be reset each time a new card is introduced or removed, and when replacing the battery. Reset it, insert mobo back into case, reboot. All should be at factory default settings and the date and time will be wrong. Configure date and time and preferred settings and reboot, things should be as you have configured. Reboot the computer first, before you decide to shut down and unplug the power cord. - Assuming that your battery is at the correct sustained voltage, then you should no longer have the issues that you describe.
