Hi there. i've been reading around the forum but didnt find problems quite similar to mine, so here it is first off here is my rig:
Mobo: Gigabyte H77-DS3H
CPU: INTEL CORE I5 3570 (not OC)
RAM: mushkin blackline 2x4 gig 1600mhz
GPU: Gigabyte gtx 660 2gig (not oc)
Windows 7 64
monitor :Asus VH236H and a cheap BenQ as a back up monitor, not in use right now


the problem has been going on for quite some time now and its getting worst. Every time i start up my rig, nothing show on screen as if there was no signal but i hear the windows start up sound, i have to reboot the pc once, twice, 3 times or 4, it really depends, until i have an image on screen, and when it works, NO error at all, no lag, glitch, no blue screen, games works really good. So i tought it was the screen the problem, i tried when the BenQ, SAME thing happens, no signal until i have rebooted a couples of times. When it gets to work, i hear the same sound as if a new peripheral was detected when windows start.
so i tried to boot with my gpu removed and monitor plugged in the Mobo, works everytime at the first start up.....
so i know there is probably a problem with the gpu but, as i said, when the signal gets finaly to the monitor...everything works at top level, no error msg, no blue screen, no sign that there is a problem with the gpu.
so i'm wandering if the problem is Hardware or software.....and if you guys have some solution to this that does not involved changing the gpu..... Help !!!
