I bought an EVGA GTX 770 to pair with my existing NVIDIA GTX 770 since actual NVIDIA 770s don't seem to exist anymore.
Anyway, I plugged it in and everything and booted the computer, with the monitor still connected to the NVIDIA card. I'm going to bridge them but people online said you should install the second card separately first, power down, bridge, then reboot, so that was my plan. The computer booted just fine and I can tell both cards seem to be working since, obviously, I'm getting monitor feedback on the NVIDIA card and the EVGA card is all lit up and the fans are running.
But when I put in the installation disc to get the drivers on for the EVGA card, the monitor immediately blacked out due to lost DVI signal. I waited a few minutes and nothing happened, so I tried switching it to the EVGA card but that's also black. I have rebooted computer and monitor several times now (with the driver disc out) and am getting zero signal from either card, even though they're behaving just as they were when I successfully booted earlier.
*edit* If it wasn't clear, I am not getting a signal from EVGA, old NVIDIA (still installed and powered), or even the integrated card on the motherboard.
Am all of a sudden trapped because I can't even get to my BIOS screen without a working video card. Any ideas what to do?
