Hey guys, so I ran into some pc troubles after buying a new graphics card (asus geforce strix gtx 960 4gb). My PC wouldn't boot and just constantly tries starting up but failing to do so... So I thought that I maybe need to uinstall the drivers of my previous graphic card in order to make my new one work. However, a new problem then showed up. I cant uninstall the drivers because suddenly my monitor wont find any signal with any graphics card at all, or even when connected to the motherboard. My guess is that my motherboard is now broken somehow? And that I need a new one that works with my asus geforce strix gtx 960 4gb ?

My PC specs:

CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0 Quad-core Processor

RAM: HyperX Fury DDR3 - 1866MHz 16GB

Graphics Card: OLD: (Geforce GTX 740) NEW: ASUS GeForce STRIX GTX 960 4GB

Motherboard: ASUS B85M-G, Socket-1150

PSU: Corsair CX 750M, 750W

Really appreciate if someone can help me out :)

Weird... that psu is more than adequate for a 960. I think it could be the PSU. If it boots then shuts off straight away then that means the PSU is not delivering stable power therefore the on-board protection is being activated to stop your components from being fried. Do you have a quality 500w psu around? Try to swap out the power supply currently in your system and see what happens. If you have one of course.
