Windows 8 black screen

Liam Hines · Apr 18, 2014

Today I tried installing a wireless pci slot card. I have two graphics cards in SLI and to get to the PCI slot I had to remove my SLI bridge. So I removed the bridge and installed the card. Then I put back the bridge and turned on my computer. Bios and windows boot up but after the windows loading screen it turned black. I tried getting rid of the card. Nope. Still a black screen after windows loads. Could I have possibly damaged my gpu? Please help!!!!!! :??:

Make sure it's in securely inserted and you have the power connected to the GPU

it is, I never disconnected the GPU at all. the only thing I removed was the SLI bridge but I put that right back on. could I try repairing windows? or should I just go ahead and re-install it?

Try it with a single GPU, then if OK there, shutdown, add second GPU and add the bridge and try again

is it safe to run one GTX 660 on a 750W power supply? also, what should I do if the booting with a single gpu doesn't work?

Yes, the GPU only draws as much power as is needed, if it won't work with athe single GPU swap it with the other and try
