Okay, I'm gonna try to explain this as fully as I can as it is a bit of an odd one.

Yesterday I received all the parts for my new PC build and now that I have it built everything seems to be up and running so I decided to go ahead and install the drivers. Specs are as follows:

- Intel Core i5 6600K @ 3.9Ghz
- Gigabyte GA-Z170N-WIFI
- 2 x 8gb DDR4 Kingston Fury Black @ 2133Mhz
- 1TB WD Blue
- EVGA Nvidia GTX 1060 6Gb
- Be Quiet Pure Power 9 500w semi-modular
- Windows 10 Pro 64 bit

Upon first install of the graphics drivers (as initially without them, the display runs at 800 x 600) the loading bar gets so far and my monitor stops displaying a signal. I try rebooting and restarting but after I see the windows logo the screen goes back to displaying no signal. In order to be able to boot into Windows I have to revert to a previous restoration point.

I have tried also to connect via the on-board motherboard graphics, except when I do that I don't even get to the Windows logo before it tells me the display has no signal. Furthermore, for whatever reason, I cannot seem to enter the motherboard setup (99% sure this is the same thing as the BIOS) after spamming F12 in true PC builder fashion thus not letting me enable/disable on-board graphics so that I can update Windows etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and if I haven't covered everything don't be afraid to ask, I'll try and respond relatively quickly.

Many thanks.

Don't think was it unfortunately. Still cannot get into setup/BIOS. When both sticks are in it is able to detect the full 16 GB so I am not too sure that is where the problem lies. Thank you for the reply though!

Just got everything done and tried to install drivers from October. Same thing happened and I'm left with no signal.
