Hi everyone!

My problem: I recently bought a Galax GTX 1060 EXOC and it arrived today. As soon as i got it i opened it up and put it straight into my pc (replacing my old Gigabyte GTX 960). I turned my computer back on and everything was going perfectly, bios screen loaded but then after that nothing happened, the screen went black and a "no signal" messaged popped up on my monitor. With my 960 it works perfectly, everything loads fine. When using the onboard graphics i also get the same "error". I was really confused as this has never happened before and because of the bios screen being able to load i only assumed that the rest would be fine. I have searched through many articles regarding this and have tried:
Removing the CMOS battery for a period of time.
Enabling and disabling the integrated graphics.
Testing different monitors.
Using bare minimum, 1 stick of RAM etc.

To me, the weirdest thing is that the old 960 works but the new 1060 doesnt, was it shipped faulty? :/ Also, the bios screen lasts for a very long time, 50ish seconds usually.

If anyone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks!

This sounds exactly like my issue I'm having with GTX 980. Bios screen loads and displays, then windows loading screen shows, then blank screen. On board graphics and different monitors do the same thing.

I've tried over 10 different things including the things you tried and found no solutions.

RMAing my card now.
