Installed my new GPU - GTX 770, removed my old GPU's graphic drivers (was GTX 560 Ti) and when I start my PC the screen only displays B2 in the bottom right corner, then after a minute of so windows boots up and it works normally.

Read a few different types forums and most users are saying to flash my GPU's bios but when I try to enter the setup on startup, it just goes into a completely black screen.

Does anybody know of this problem or a solution to it?

Thanks

Hmm, I assume your used to seeing a splash screen from your motherboard? Post the type of MB you have....

But, here are a couple ideas making ASSUMPTIONS about your motherboard: (to reset to Default CMOS settings..)
- reboot the system, but use the Clear BIOS button (assuming you have one)
- or, no switch, remove the battery from the motherboard. Wait 15mins. Re-install battery & reboot system

I did some more research, some have fixed the "B2" error by re-flashing the BIOS..... (news to me, I learn more each day..)

So, post ALL the details, brand, model, ... and BIOS Revision level for your motherboard. Then we can guide you to how to re-flash the BIOS. (BTW, remove the new GPU and install your old card for this process.....)
