I've recently just rebuilt my PC using a combination of stuff from my current build and new parts. My specs are:
Intel i7-4790k CPU
ASRock H97 Pro4 Mobo
Kingston Blu 8gb (2 x 4gb) RAM
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 2gb Windforce GPU
Seasonic G 550w 80+ Gold Semi modular PSU
The motherboard, CPU and PSU are brand new. Everything else including my hdd and 2 ssd's are from my old computer.
I built my PC and connected my monitor to my GPU. My PC turned on fine so I started to reinstall Windows. I even reformatted my boot SSD so everything would be as fresh as possible. Once Windows finished installing it took me to the desktop. From there, I started to install drivers. I did mobo drivers first so when that was done I restarted my PC. This is where issues come up.
Here's what happens: I turn on the PC, bios screen shows up, Windows logo shows up then my monitor goes black. My PC remains on but I get no picture at all. It's like my monitor goes off or something. I can stay in the bios menus as long as I want. It's just when Windows loads that some kind of error happens. The only way I can access my PC is if I completely take the GPU out and only use the onboard graphics. I KNOW this GPU works because it worked fine in my previous build. I'm using pretty much the same parts and the same OS so I really don't know what the issue can be. The only way I can get to my desktop using the GPU is if I completely reinstall Windows. Turning off my PC and then turning it back on seems to trigger the issue.
I have no idea of this is a driver issue or a hardware issue. When I tried to install nvidia drivers first the issue happened too! Could I have not plugged in something right? My computer works perfectly if it's just using the onboard graphics from the mobo. Only when I use the GPU is when I get this error so I don't know if this is a huge hardware issue. I've been messing around with this issue for 2 days and still haven't found a solution so any help will really be appreciated.
