Today I received my MSI GTX 1060 GPU. I uninstalled my previous drivers prior to installing the new card. I installed the new card, and started running GeForce Experience for drivers, everything seemed to be going smoothly, but I suddenly got a No Signal message on my monitor. Tried rebooting after waiting 10 minutes, and I had a display up until I had to sign into Windows 10. I gave MSI a call and they said it might be a dead card, but I'm not sure. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks! :)

Update: I installed the card in a new PCIE slot: saw the login screen and my desktop for about 10 seconds then the no signal screen again.

Got everything working - uninstalled card and went to onboard graphics. Uninstalled GeForce Experience and everything Nvidia. Put card back into my PC and installed all the drivers and everything works fine! Thanks for the help <3

Did you have a solution or did you just send them back for a new one? When I put the card into a new PCIE slot - I can get to my desktop, but after 10 seconds, I hear the Windows 10 notification sound that something has been "plugged in" or whatever. After that sound I have the same problem.

Argh.
Everyone seems to be able to fix this. Mine is actually a Gigabyte GTX 1060.
Mobo Asus Z87 Expert.
CPU Intel Core i5-4670K CPU @ 3.40GHz

I've tried everything under the sun. Originally, it let me log into Win10, I installed the drivers, reboot, black screen. I did everything I could from the suggestions around this site, but it never worked again. I reinstalled my old card, changed out the drivers and was ready to RMA it.
Today, I decided to put it into the second PCI slot and it worked in a game for a good two hours. I got up for a bit, PC went to sleep and it's been black screen ever since.
Do I just need to RMA? It was working perfectly, I've never had this problem before. GPUs usually just work or they don't, they don't dangle functionality in front of me.

This is an old thread, but just FYI, you probably need to update your BIOS to get things to install properly. If you are stuck at the flash screen of the bios with nothing else happening, this is what i had to do to move on. The newer PCI express cards need an updated bios to work if you have an older PC
