Was working, Black Screen, delayed BIOS beep, works without GPU

ssell22 · Jul 11, 2017

So I built my PC yesterday with help from the components forum

Everything worked perfectly until today.
I had a game on pause, (think I was downloading the new geforce experience drivers as well, not sure) went away came back and the screen was frozen whitish, unresponsive. Turned off manually and would not turn back on again. What I mean is GPU has lights, fans spin. The motherboard however doesn't beep straight away, maybe after 15 seconds it beeps then the monitor recognizes its connected but only as a black screen, no mobo splash, saying a low resolution (640 X something). However if I remove the GPU and HDMI into the mobo the computer works perfectly.

Things I have tried-

Removed each memory module individually and tested with GPU
Taken battery out of mobo
Updated BIOS to latest version
Cried a bit
Removed SSD
Turned on/off fast boot
Turned on/off legacy boot
Disabled onboard graphics
Disable onboard graphics in the BIOS and tried with gpu (5 beeps black screen)
Fully cleaned the old GeForce drivers

Any advice would be appreciated. I could understand if it didnt work in the beginning but to work and now stop has left me confused. THANKS !!

EVGA 600w PSU

that did point to either the PSU or the gtx1060 has problem, because you did remove and reinstall the GPU driver, so it is not the driver problem.

Recommend to test the 1060 in other PC, or use other PSU.

Which model is your EVGA 600W? I read your old thread for building the gaming PC. If you picked the wrong PSU, the problem maybe from the PSU, because not all the 600W PSU are the same. The 600W does not tell you the whole store.

I got the EVGA 600w 80 plus. I have not got another PSU or PC to test my GPU in unfortunately. I have not been able to reinstall the 1060 drivers because it keeps saying that compatible hardware not found

Try other GPU if you had one, because you can't install the GPU driver, the problem maybe from the gtx1060 or the MB ( the pcie slot).
Also try to update the chipset driver too. https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/20775

If you don't have other parts to test, may ask someone for help, like your friend, or local PC shop.

So. I went into the BIOS and chose to boot from the IGFX. reset, put the GPU back in, managed to boot normally to windows with the HDMI in the mobo. Device Manager recognizes my card as a 1060, i installed the latest drivers but it says "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)". I still cant boot with the PCI as my primary in the BIOS

"Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)"

That is hardware problem, either the GTX1060 or the pcie slot.
Recommend go to the local PC shop ask for help. But If you have other GPU, then you will know the problem is the pcie slot or the gtx1060.

That's the two most logical solutions. I'm having a problem understanding why it worked to start with then suddenly decided to not start. I will attempt to try my local shop but don't hold out much hope. I live in Spain and my Spanish leaves a lot to be desired..

So I reformatted by SSD. Installed windows again, my GPU is showing up as a Microsoft Basic Display Adapter. The NVidia drivers will not find my GPU and install though
