Hi,

Got my new Palit Gtx 1070 dual yesterday. I put it in pc and bootet. Pc turns on but I just get a black screen (both booting and windows). I put my old gtx 970 back in Pc and pc boote normally. I entered bios and made sure I had newest version and set gpu to onboard. I put new GPU back in machine and booted to windows (screen connected to onboard). I then installed the newest version of Nvidia driver. In device manager Windows recognizes that there is a 1070 in the slot, but it was turned off by Windows due to device error 43. Looked online and see some people having fixed this with a reinstall of GPU driver. But I allready did this and I even get black screen during bios boot with the new card. My old gtx 970 works without problem (both Windows and Bios) . Is it safe to assume that I got a bad gpu? Death on arrival?

Ohh yeah my system is

8 GB ram
650w bronze +80 PSU from CM

My old card is a gtx 970. Shouldn't that use more power that new new card?

That's a different code, you mentioned Windows turning off and leaving an error code 43, which is a system code for power interruption (forced restart on hardware level).

If it's a device error code 43, you should try a clean install of the driver just in case.

Ok. Will try.

But screen is also black in bios and the booting part before getting to windows. If this was a windows driver problem shouldn't I get picture I bios?

Yes and no, too many factors. For one, UEFI systems often don't have a splashscreen! It could also be that it's recognizing a different connection as your primary one and outputting to the wrong port

Ok. Is splashscreen the asrock logo (displayed by mobo) when I turn on pc?

Ok will try to put new new back in PC and connect a screen to both onboard and GPU (have 2 screens). I will enter bios when I turn on pc. If I get picture on onboard screen it means GPU set to primary. If I doesn't get picture anywhere it will mean 1070 doesn't work (pcie must be set as primary since no picture on screen connected to onboard). Or is my test wrong?

BTW find it strange if the onboard is set a primary since my gtx 970 shows picture without a problem.
