PC works fine until I try to install my Gigabyte GTX 770, after I install that it won't boot up, I see nothing on the monitor and a couple of red lights blink on my motherboard (the one next to the ram, the one next to the PCI-E slots), Spoke with Nvidia after talking with them for an hour and a half they decided it was a faulty card, returned that got a new one it does the same thing.

Things I have tried:
Reseating into a different PCI-E slot
Trying in a different (albeit old) computer
trying it with a 1000W PSU instead of the 750W I have installed
Changing the BIOS to force it to use a PCI-E slot rather than the internal graphics

My Setup:
Motherboard: Asus z97-A
CPU: Intel I5 4670k
PSU thermaltake Smart 750W
HDD: WD Black 1TB
GPU I am trying to install: Gigabyte Windforce GTX 770 2GB

Set the bios to onboard graphics or both card and onboard, plug the monitor into the mobo. See if it will boot up that way. You can then try to either move the cord back to the card or attach a second monitor or television to the card to see if it works. Make sure yours drivers are updated first.

My computer was doing the same thing a while back. The work around I used was to boot to a second monitor with the onboard. When windows started the primary monitor would boot to GPU. Basically the monitors swapped roles during startup. The problem worked itself out eventually, probably a driver issue. I had a GTX 760.
