I just bought a the ZOTAC GeForce GTX 960 CUDA, and a new PSU with that, 550W. When I start the computer, it seems to work just fine, but I get "No Signal" on my screen. And my keyboard doesn't seem to work either.
What is wrong?
 
Solution
did you plug the hdmi cable in your video card or in your motherboard? if it's in the mother board's interface shut down, and plug it in your video card

I had this Kaveri thing, AMD Radeon HD 7660d, where I had the graphics card and proccessor in one unit or something like that. (if I understood it right) I'm not that experienced. I only had one big card in the cabinet at least.
But I haven't uninstalled anything.

Could you write down your system specs?

Edit: Btw i'm pretty sure this will be a driver issue. simply follow these steps:
1.uninstall gtx 960 from motherboard
2.install old hd7660d to motherboard
3.start computer, you should have signal ->uninstall old amd graphics drivers
4.power off pc-> uninstall old hd7660d-> install gtx 960 to motherboard
5.start pc, then you should have signal and install latest nvidia drivers
hope it helps, btw you could still write down your pc specs in case something is wrong.

Have you plugged the 6-pin power cable into the top of the graphics card? Amazing how many people forget about this.

If you remove the graphics card and use the old on-board graphics does it still work? If so, I would look around in the BIOS as sometimes you have a setting for preferred graphics processor which may need changed to PCIe Card or "Auto Select"

AMD A-series A10-5700 / 3.4 GHz
Quad-Core
AMD Radeon HD 7660D
16 GB RAM

Something like that, if I didn't get it all just ask for it.
