I recently built my own PC for the first time. Everything has worked so far, but I have run into one serious problem. After I install the graphics drivers for my new Gigabyte 1070 G1 Gaming, and reboot my PC, there is no display. I see the BIOS splash screen, and several seconds of the Windows logo, but when Windows boots it cuts the display. However the display is fine if I boot with, integrated graphics, in safe-mode, or with the 1070 with drivers uninstalled. I have tried all current driver versions for the GTX 1070, and have done both fresh installs of the drivers and of Windows. Windows is up-to-date, and I have installed all the drivers for my motherboard. I am not sure what to do next, as It seems like the Nvidia drivers are not compatible with some configuration of my windows, or my motherboard but I am not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

My Specs:
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming 7
GPU: GeForce® GTX 1070 G1 Gaming
CPU: i7 4770k
OS: Windows 10 64 bit (Build 1151) Up-to-date
PSU: EVGA 750W GQ
Storage: 500GB Crucial SSD & 1T WD Black HDD
Monitor: ASUS MX279H

Okay, so I uninstalled drivers, then booted into low res mode wile plugged into the 1070. After the driver install everything worked fine and I ran several benchmarks to make sure. BUT when I shut down and rebooted my PC, there was no display. However, I have noticed that after it boots with no display, if I plug the HDMI cable into the integrated IO port, the display instantly come up with the login screen. So is it possible that the computer or Windows is booting only with the integraded as the primary? If so, how would I go about fixing this?

Seems you need to check the initial display output setting in BIOS.
Get into BIOS setting during boot;
Move to Peripherals tab in it;
Check Initial Display Output value;
If it is IGFX, change it to PCI-E slot you put your 1070 in

Funny you should say as I am checking that right now. So the options are IGFX, PCIe 1, PCIEe 2, PCI3 3, or PCI. It was already set to PCIe 1. However, I am trying to look through the mobo manual and find the numbers of the slots as I dont see them printed on the board. The 1070 is in the PCIe x 16, but there is also a x8 and a x4. So if I cant find the numer soon I may just run through all of the numbers.

So I'm not sure if this is significant, but something interesting happens after switching the initial POST display. I couldn't find the number of the slot so I ran through them all. When I got to PCIe 3, I saved and restarted from the BIOS and it booted into Windows with display. Not wanting to jump the gun and claim it was fixed just yet however, I shut down the PC and pressed the power button again only to have the display not appear. Not sure what this alludes to?

I have just read the manual, and interestingly the PCIEX16 slot (I assume you install the 1070 in this slot) should be marked as PCIe 1 in the bios. And that was already chosen when your have this issue. Wonder what is the next step can be done.

Well what appears to occur, is after turning on the computer while plugged into the PCIe graphics card, the BIOS splash screen appears, and then several seconds of Windows loading (I run from an SSD so boot only takes a couple seconds normally anyway). It seems at the instant Windows boots and means to display the login screen, the display is cut. If, without turning off or rebooting, I switch the HDMI cable to the IGFX IO HDMI port, the display comes right up and shows the Windows login screen. So that coupled with the fact that the issue only occurs when I have the drivers installed leads me to believe it may be a driver issue. Since without drivers installed the discrete graphics card has no trouble displaying Windows and functioning. Then again, I 'm no expert, just trying to help identify the possible problem.

Of course I just relized that you are likely talking about the gentlemen in the video so...yeah. Gotcha.

UPDATE:

So I spoke with Micro Center tech support for over an hour two days ago and was told the card must be DOA. So I returned the one I had and now have an ASUS Strix 1070. Works great and I like it even better to be honest!
