Can you pull the card completely and run video off your motherboard interface for starters?

usually when you get no video it is either a the gpu or b ram. pull all the sticks out and reseat one stick then power on, you should now hopefully see video, if still no video try another stick. if still nothing in most cases it is your gpu

funny thing is i had a similar issue this weekend on an old pc, i threw a gpu I had lying around and booted up, nothing. I ended up resetting the bios to optimized defaults via on board gpu and powering off then reseating all the ram and then it started working.


old drivers will not cause issues in msot cases but rather run on windows default driver till you load the correct one
