Ok, so I'm in a bit of a pickle people. I just got my new hardware for a fresh, brand new, complete computer and I keep getting a black screen with no mouse after my first display driver install. I've installed Windows 3 times with the same results all 3 times. First time I installed windows with the ethernet cord in. Went through the install and let the computer download and install the basic Microsoft display driver and then I restarted. Got a black screen no mouse after the post, lights are on and fans are blowing just no signal to my monitor. Tried some things in safe mode, yes monitor worked in safe mode, and everything I did in safe mode didn't work. So, I reinstalled windows, still with the ethernet cord in, but this time, before I restarted, I downloaded GeForce experience and installed latest drivers, also got some gigabyte drivers too. Ok, so I restarted and it did the same thing, PC powers on but no signal. Now I'm getting really frustrated. So for the third time, I reinstalled windows. This time, I disconnected the ethernet cord and installed the LG monitor drivers, Gigabyte drivers, and Zotac drivers via CD's. Everything was going good until the Zotac CD installed most of the Geforce drivers then my display shuts off and tells me I don't have a signal. Didn't even have to restart this time. So after all that, I am on here asking for help now. Through all of that I have been using a HDMI cord, tried VGA to motherboard connection and that didn't work either. Also, I am using Windows 10 64-bit Education Edition, because I go to college and can get windows for free. I tried using the Windows Media Creation Tool and it said it doesn't support my version of Windows. I need help really bad people, I just spent A ton of money on this PC. This is my build>
