So I swapped out my GTX 660 for GTX 960 (both eVGA) because the GTX 660 quit producing a video signal. After I popped in the new GTX 960 the system ran fine for a night and I was able to play GTA5 for several hours with a friend. Windows 8 wanted to update at the end of the night so I let it and went to bed. By the next morning the system was frozen and I was forced to reboot mid-update.
After much hassle and internet research I ended up reinstalling windows only to NOT have my nice new video card produce an output to my monitors. The systems runs 100% fine on the motherboards video out, but as soon as I hook a monitor to the GTX 960 and activate the PCIe Video card in the BIOS, I get on-screen BIOS but after that is nothing. A single beep from the computer and then the monitor powers down like I just shut off the computer.
Drivers are 100% up to date in windows and the system see the card in the system (when I'm on the internal GPU).
No error messages to report.
I did all the steps HERE and nothing is amiss. Everything is plugged in fine, and the only thing to change hardware wise is the graphics card (I checked everything else anyway).
This is a system that I have built that has run fine for 2-3 years with little to no problems until now.
Intel Core i7 3770K @ 3.5 GHZ
Asus P8Z77-V Deluxe with the most current Bios
32 GB DDR3 @668 MHz
eVGA GTX 960 Superclocked in a Dual Monitor Config (Single monitor for now until this system works again)
111GB Kingston SSD + 5 other HHD's
1000W EVGA G2 Power Supply
Windows 8.1 Pro
Custom water cooling rig on the CPU that I built.
Temps are great in my cooler master full tower.
Just for grins I booted up memtest and the memory appears fine.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
