I bought and installed a new Geforce GTX 780ti video card. After installing it and restarting my computer my monitor wouldn't display anything. I could still hear Windows 7 starting up through the speakers but my monitor remained black. I removed the video card and reconnected the cables back to the motherboard and everything worked fine. My motherboard is a Z87-D3HP.

Remove the card and boot with the integrated graphics, then uninstall the Nvidia software and drivers, download the latest driver from geforce,com. reinstall the 780 ti and install the driver you just downloaded. Reboot and see if it's still showing no video.

No, This is the only PC I have. I should also add that I thought I simply forgot to disable the on board video card but when I did that and re-installed the video card the monitor went back to being black.

That could be plausible. I bought the video card used from Amazon warehouse deals and the only thing missing was the static bag. However when I plugged in the DVI-I cable from my video card to my monitor everything worked fine. It was only after I installed the software from the optical disk and restarting my PC that my monitor went blank. Like I said before I could still hear Windows starting up through the speakers but no images were showing on my monitor. I got the idea of typing in my login password and that sort of worked. The Window logo and blue background came up but nothing else.

I'm working on it at the moment. It'll be a while before the new drivers finish downloading but I'll tell you how it goes. Thanks man.
